Don’t think it will be anywhere near that size of majority but interesting/surprising prediction of ‘class’ voting Tories more popular with working class than upper class, poll shows

agree about issues with social care and aging population putting far more stress on nhs/A&E. The GP contract had a significant impact and with hindsight appears to have been a badly negotiated deal the way it was structured (BMA couldn’t believe their luck). not saying that the sole cause of...

They are shit stats but like most stats you also need to scratch beneath the surface a little. After the 2004 GP deal, doctors were no longer required to work out of hours and since then A&E admissions have shot up by millions per annum (as people can’t get to see their doc during the evening...

just saw his stand up on the comedy channel...very good !

Like it Clint...Jim Jefferies is quality, well, if you like brutal humour ! As you say especially earlier sets...got a bit more hit and miss (and preachy) more recently, still like though. Seen him three times live Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand (I know he’s a cock but always liked a lot of his...

Exactly. Two 23 years olds, one of which has just moved to a new country/team ! Fact is both have scored great goals this season and shown glimpses of potential. Just hope the consistency comes

They have a lot of levels reds in their games...not surprised. Reckless from max but ref conned.

I like McCallum and he put in a great ball late on but first 20-25 mins thought he struggled (mason has played well so far this season)

Ps is mason fit ? If so, he should be playing and probably shippers

If we’re playing three at the back we need someone to bring it out and commit a man otherwise we’re always going to be a man short. last five mins picked it up but looked lethargic for most of the half hopefully a better second !

agree with Clint and Tony, Farage is being shown up for what he is...an opportunist. I appreciate that his ideal Brexit might be a ‘clean break’ (although not sure he’s voiced this until recent months !) but hes not accepting that there is no majority for this in the country (or parliament -...

Every doc including the US justice system is frightening !!! think I’ve mentioned Operation Odessa on Netflix before, similar style (amusing) but about drugs cheats in baseball, Screwball

Agree shmmeee, I don’t see the need for lower business taxes for all either (ie for massively profitable businesses) however, I see no issue with, for example, business rate exemptions for SMEs/certain retailers. Whoever is next in government needs to tackle to unfair playing field between multi...

Can’t argue with most of that final para to be fair Shmmeee! Labour needs to ensure it is still encouraging business though...as without them, there isn’t going to be much employment going on !!! ;)

Didn’t know that about Kansas SBD ! Interesting example The wider point I was making across various posts was that the economy is far from straight forward and there are a variety of factors. Whilst Kansas may not have seen any direct benefits from be removal of business tax’s, if a company...

Haha, ok, maybe I was being touchy !! ;) Company’s hire on need but also on profits ie you might need someone but if you’re loss making and only break even it’s irrelevant (as I say, these things aren’t simple) There is no doubt the Tories will always be the party for business and labour the...

I didn’t attribute the financial crisis to labour, like I don’t attribute everything that’s happened post 2010 to the Tories. For every negative graph, there’s a positive one (check out employment rates per country over recent years - no not all low paid/zero hour jobs as people like to spin...

Of course I would, I don’t recall ever questioning that ? I know it was a long time ago on the thread but my issue wasn’t necessarily with what labour did post crisis but prior to it. I was also highlighting that Tory austerity argument in those earlier years is flawed/not as straightforward as...

Idiots ?!! Bit harsh. I don’t think Liam Byrne would’ve written the above apology letter/article if it was that simple. Why would Labour Party and supporters have had a go at him if it was just tradition. He himself admits it was ridiculous thing to do but that’s not the point. i used it as an...

I’ll refer you to the link as well Ian (which indicates labour were going to make significant cuts if they’d won the 2010 election and that it was 100% needed)
