Im getting Capaldi vibes
Physical appearance wise imagine Ed Sheeran but with better facial hair, fashion sense and above all else, a better voice
Well I have been known to rock the blue jeans and brown shoes combo and whilst it's not often you'd take Clarkson as a favourable comparison , over Levi it definitely is.Nah I've always pictured you as Jeremy Clarkson
What happened?Not since the days of Chris Pincher has a politician’s surname described him so well
If you're on about my singing ability, Peter Capaldi is probably more accurateIm getting Capaldi vibes

In a similar note @CCFCSteve is 100% Piers Morgan.Well I have been known to rock the blue jeans and brown shoes combo and whilst it's not often you'd take Clarkson as a favourable comparison , over Levi it definitely is.
Yes, fixed for three years and the supplier will have factored in assumptions on inflation over the term, so from day one of the contract you will be paying more.Not necessarily. The business I’m with had to absorb significant losses on 1-2 big contracts because of inflation driven by the war in Ukraine.
Fixed term contracts are normal in the business world and in fact, a contract I’ve negotiated personally is fixed for 3 years.
What you’re explaining in the above probably highlights the differences in procurement in the two sectors.

Great start to cleaning up footballIn a very competitive race I think Nandy might be the most disingenuous of the lot
Love how this is the same as Conservative donors making millions on Anand billions of poundsIn a very competitive race I think Nandy might be the most disingenuous of the lot
And the end of the country as we know it
Britain’s already gone mateAnd the end of the country as we know it
Resigned to them getting themDoes that poll factor in tactical voting? Surely Reform won’t get anywhere near that number of seats.
Absolute scenes to see Tory-Lab on less than 50 seats combined.
What's the point in comparing with what the Tories do? It's childish.Love how this is the same as Conservative donors making millions on Anand billions of pounds
Did somebody say Singapore-on-Thames?!Resigned to them getting them
We’ll become a pariah tax haven
I'm a buyer and a seller mate, they certainly do operate like that.Not in my case because the leverage was on my side. It’s a great when you can play suppliers against one another. Likewise, a contract for an existing supplier has remained the same prices since 2021 because the competition in the sector has kept prices down otherwise businesses will change the processes, cut costs and automate manual processes.
Businesses don’t operate purely on that basis that costs inevitably have rise YoY with inflation. Your approach seems to accept it as an inevitability.
There’s not as the situations are incomparable but have become equivalent in everyone’s eyes by the mediaWhat's the point in comparing with what the Tories do? It's childish.
In what way?Did somebody say Singapore-on-Thames?!
A lot of people felt this about Meloni in Italy and so far, it’s gone reasonably well for them.
Tactical voting works both ways and both main parties have hitherto been too hubristic to consider electoral pacts. This was evident in 2019 when pro-remain parties split the vote, whilst the Brexit Party stood aside in Tory seats. The funniest example was a ex-Tory Lib Dem fighting Chelsea and Kensington to ‘stop the tories and Brexit’… the seat was held by a pro-remain Labour MP and shockingly, a Tory was elected!Does that poll factor in tactical voting? Surely Reform won’t get anywhere near that number of seats.
Elections are no longer annual affairs in Italy…In what way?
A big part of that is the increased burden of social care on local authorities. A higher proportion of the costs have been foisted on them without an appropriate increase in funding while actual demand for it has risen rapidly.You can’t be serious? How many Labour run councils are bankrupt, or nearing bankruptcy?
On the national level, Labour nicked one of Reform’s dumbest policy ideas (increasing NI on foreign workers) and applied it to the whole workforce.
On Reform as a party, what are people’s reasonable expectations? They were barely a party 18 months ago and now they’re a part of government for a few councils.
I certainly have concerns about the calibre of Reform’s talent but looking at Labour’s cabinet, there’s no one who’s really held any senior positions in the private sector. The one entrepreneur advising them has quit. Low calibre talent across the board.
Right now, the Labour Party serves 2 groups: public sector workers and benefit claimants. There won’t be a shortage of people on here arguing they don’t do that particularly well.
Hubris from both main parties to believe our electoral system was incapable of punishing them as has happened across continental Europe.
And many of us were sceptical about what they would do or might achieve. For a lot of us it was more hope than expectation.Thats what a lot of us said about Starmer and reeves - How is that going?
The banking sector says hello.They don’t and you know it deep down. Look at your comments on the NHS, £25bn or whatever has lead to no improvement. All the public sector pay rises and productivity is still behind COVID levels, this is an outlier in Europe.
There’s no accountability in the public sector and when something goes bankrupt, these institutions will go cap in hand to central government. Profit motives do at least drive some innovation and efficiencies to make more money.
In the private sector, this obviously happens too but they can’t rely on government bail outs.
Suppose the government should’ve let Northern Rock and NatWest go to pop and with it, people’s savings…The banking sector says hello.
Nandy might be the most disingenuous of the lot
Do you not agree there should be accountability? And people had savings of up to £80k guaranteed by the government anyway.Suppose the government should’ve let Northern Rock and NatWest go to pop and with it, people’s savings…
