Education funding back where it was when they took over. Getting a little tired of slapping the Tories on the back for undoing their own mistakes TBH.

That fiscal rule is looser than the one proposed by McDonnell under Corbyn…

Cos he loves football and we are football

I used to be super anti data sharing, left the Labour Party under Blair because I disagreed with ID cards. Then the Snowden stuff came out, and I saw what is possible with public data anyway and thought “why are we denying ourselves all this progress to try and stop something that’s happening...

Doug? Is that you?

It’ll be processed according to the law though. Just because someone right wing is involved doesn’t automatically make it bad. The Reg loves a scare story, but that article is light in detail and heavy on buts and maybes. The benefit for general health and NHS efficiency far outweighs the risk...

It’s not really a leisure complex though is it? It could be, equally a better hotel could do it. Even something simple like a warehouse it’s well placed for. I don’t think the Arena has had an owner with the cash or chops to develop it. The council can’t do it, they rely on private investment...

Yeah agreed. Though as Godden is out I’d like to at least see a loan in. Not that they’re any easier to find mind.

Who will stand up for the single, idle, yet well paid man and his contribution to the national finances?

Also whose business is it apart from my employers how hard I work? As long as I’m paying my taxes.

Anyone reckon Rishi’s tax bill has gone up?

I assume some kind of CVA will have been part of Ashley’s bid. Even if it offered nothing it would have been deemed better for the creditors than liquidation.

Doesn’t the Ashley sale basically pay off the bond holders? Was there other debt?
