    Do you trust Rachel Reeves plans in relation to local government pensions?

    It’s not that they haven’t fixed everything, they haven’t fixed anything other than stuffing the train drivers mouths with gold. Pretty much everything else they have fucked up. God knows what the size of the black hole will be in 5 years time. Labour will be responsible for the further shit...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Thought about this some more. It is actually funny that there are so many on here who will have been bemoaning 14 years of Tory government and yet are actually defending this bunch of charlatans. In a few months the economy seems to have stalled, inflation started to tick back up and interest...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This thread hasn’t been going for 14 years and it was the as then upcoming election which was the impetus to start posting on it. Plus, I really detest Starmer, Milliband, Streeting, Haigh, Reeves, Phillipson. There’s not an ounce of sincerity amongst that lot. As I said on another thread, at...

    They probably could work out where it was heading.

    You are right, it isn't nudge theory. It is a full-blown shove in the back.

    So the consumer want face increased costs? Just like the working person won't end up paying the increased employer NIC costs through higher consumer prices.

    Theoretically heat pumps are more efficient than boilers, producing something like 3.5 times as much heat energy as the electrical energy used to do so. Problem is electricity costs 4 times as much as gas (on my tariff) and so the heating is higher cost. So energy efficient but not cost...

    "Should" is such a big but empty word. I far prefer "must". I didn't realise I could heat my home on a couple of Duracells.:)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’m not convinced that the UK should be leading the way on this. Im certainly not convinced that a system requiring taking heat out of cold air is going to prove all that effective, especially when the power cuts start. It is very expensive to run. And then no one will be able to charge their...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think it is, yes. If the argument about heat pumps had been won it would be unnecessary. Taxes can often be a means to direct people to live their lives in a certain way, eg tobacco duty and the £2 to come on a bottle of vape liquid. When I vaped I was buying them from onepoundliquid. Not...

    John Prescott

    Unlike this generation of Labour political pygmies, Prescott had been a working man doing a real job. RIP
