Feels like it’s all over bar the shouting now. The polls haven’t narrowed between Labour and the Tories so with a week to go that looks unlikely to happen. I think the Greens are Lib Dem’s have been steady all through the campaign with polling so their numbers look set. The only real question is...

It begs the obvious question. If we’ve been provoking Russia into invading Ukraine since the 90’s and Putin is the most impressive political operator how on earth was Russia so unprepared for invading Ukraine? I mean even before the West really started arming and training the Ukrainians Russia...

Even if you consider that she was voted in by her party more people in the UK voted for the postmen to go on strike than voted for Truss to be PM. Not sure how true it is but I do recall reading that you don’t have to be either a UK citizen and/or live in the UK to be a Tory party member. She...

I can’t decide what would be funnier. Sunak winning his seat or Sunak losing his seat. He clearly wants out, it’s the only possible explanation. If he wins his seat by election within 12 months would be a good bet.

On some of these polls you can put your own methodology in to manipulate the numbers. Lee Anderson has just been caught out doing it claiming he’ll win by a landslide so there’s no point voting anymore else, if you read the small print it it says something along the methodology is user defined.

Sunak going full Boris and telling us how angry he is at the behaviour of his MP’s and staff. Just waiting for the headline to break that Sunak had a bet on it too.

Can we at least agree that the chances of them being less competent than the outgoing government are slim to zero?

This whole “Labour will use their super majority to rig the voting system to be a forever government” line from the Tories is getting a bit ridiculous now. They’re just adding more and more groups to the list of who they’ll allow to vote on a daily basis. I reckon we’re about 2 days away from...

Tory. 1952.

Doubtful.

Sunak, Badenoch and Braverman all polling to lose their seats on that basis I just read.

State of this.

If only you knew.

If you’re about to suggest that I moved to an area to get my kids into a good school you’d be wrong.

But parents B are paying the price in full, they’re not getting a state subsidy on the costs they’ve put down to ensure their children get a better education. You’re talking about a small percentage of 6% of all children attending school in the UK. And as I’ve already pointed out private...

Further education isn’t private education. It’s not a luxury. It’s also not free at point of use in most of the UK to everyone so technically it already isn’t subsidised.

How are you subsidising parents B? They’re firstly paying a premium on the house price for the location and then paying stamp duty that reflects that premium. If the VAT on private schools gets funnelled directly into state education funding improvements in state education then that’s improving...

Well you are you’re saying what if VAT goes on university fees, what if VAT goes on private healthcare, what if your gran had bollocks… Try reading up on Finlands education system. It’s possible, there just needs to be political will from politicians to propose it and from the electorate to...

Agreed. But that’s not the reality. You’re saying we should subsidise parents A so their child can go to a better school but not subsidise parents B who have also taken action to so their child can go to a better school. Parents B just didn’t go the private education route they moved house...
