The wages thing can’t be got around. Ultimately we need to be able to fund at least 15/16 players on a championship wage, otherwise we aren’t a championship club. The owners are going to have to decide if that’s possible if they’re serious about the club progressing as they claim. You can’t...

New New Labour, new new danger, eh G?

He wasn’t offered a contract we signed him on a free (the Solihull Messi), so there’s no sell on.

Many do, many also have kids to feed. Housing costs and kids take a significant chunk of take home pay. What you earn matters less for QoL than what you have to spend after essentials.

He’s on £23k/wk. Madness.

I’d take £7m for O’Hare, love the guy but we could do serious damage in the transfer market with that sort of fee. I could see us bringing in 5/6 quality players to add to the 3/4 we’ve got, really make us a force.

We’re talking about a govenrment currently railing against their own Brexit deal they signed less than two years ago. Long term thinking is not in their wheelhouse.

Not making an argument pensioners are well off BTW, just that working age people have taken a kicking over the last decade or so.

Big difference is housing costs.

Few years old now, but here: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38957903.amp Saw a more recent graph on Twitter I’ll see if I can source. Edit: This isn’t the graph but makes the same point. Basically tax burden has been shifted to working age people and incomes...

Pensioner income is above working age income on average and almost half the “scroungers” are in work. You really haven’t looked up in the last twenty years have you?

Leaving an incentive to drill for new oil and gas seems a little at odds with the PMs stated climate goals. Why not renewables?

Maybe we’ll just get £400 credited to the meter one day?

I’ll say one thing, as a proponent of UBI the combo of a PM that lurches from crisis to crisis and a Chancellor that responds to crises by throwing direct cash at people is quite the turn up for the books.

The £400 goes direct to the energy supplier inthink, the other money seems to be a direct cash payment through benefits system.

Great news. Recall petition next hopefully.

Who actually gets the money? I just saw “the poorest” which means not me, but have they said who?

Yeah I’ve got the same. It’s a nightmare to switch away from them.

My thinking is anyone who comes in will face calls for a GE, at least with Bozo they can hope to use him to ride out the current CoL crisis.

Can’t see enough letters coming in while the polls are showing a Labour victory and there’s no clear successor. I suspect he’ll limp along as long as possible.
