And a good day to you too! Please see my reply to Watford z.😉👍

Calm down Wz. I try not to get carried away by anyone or anything on this forum, as I hope you notice from my mostly😊 reasonable posts. My remark re Scrooge Rachel was meant to be more of a dig than anything else, but perhaps it didn’t come over that way, for which I humbly apologise to all and...

They probably still do😊. Pension rise is due to Triple Lock that they have promised to honour until the end of this parliament, so I believe. However, if there hadn’t been the hoohaa/cock up over the WFP, I wouldn’t have put it past Reeves to back track on the Triple Lock undertaking. Don’t...

Lucy Powell!😆

They don’t need any encouragement to do strange things, watch out for a ban on drinking in pubs next.🍺🥃😊😳

Early days yet for this administration. Plenty of time for things to go wrong, get worse or get better. There will be the inevitable cock-ups that all Governments make from time to time. Party politics apart, I hope they make a success of Government for the good of the country, but I can’t say I...

Hyperbole, exaggeration, or OTT comments on NSC? Never!😏

Oh come on HT, does it really matter that he said ‘ took a mauling’ when ‘took a tumble’ would have sufficed. I thought the word Telegraph would get you going, just like the word Guardian does it for me! Have another good German beer and chill. I had quite a few cans of Hacker-Pschorr in the...

Fat finger……apologies! 😁

They fell today after fears of a ‘tax raid’ on the industry, when, quote, ‘a former Whitehall insider told the FT that the sector would be a likely target as lenders have been making good profits out of higher interest rates.’ etc. Who knows, but Starmer and Reeves are spreading gloom thick and...

And who is responsible for the shitshow that has enveloped the Government following Rachel Reeves clumsy decision re the WFP? I think quite a few on her own side would say Starmer and Reeves. There was always a case to be argued re the universality of the benefit, but the way this has been...

Payback time then, for voting Tory?

Drastic cuts in Heating Allowances to many pensioners who will struggle, (no, not the likes of me and several others on here) and pay rises to the junior doctors and the train drivers without any conditions re working practices or undertakings. What happened? The doctors are expected to bank the...

Well, they haven’t yet finished voting to accept the deal yet, so I understand. I recall that smarmy git Dr. Rob Laurenson recommending acceptance, but strongly hinting that they should bank the pay rise and consider further possible strike action, once again, next April.

I know what AKA stands for! It was the rest of the statement that needed clarification!😁

What is AKA the deep state?

Indeed there is. There was a recent letter to the Times from a surgeon in connection with the Cass Review and the BMA leadership. He said, ‘the BMA leaders are a self-serving bunch of political activists who happen to be doctors.’ Another medic’s letter on the same day was equally damning on the...

What! A sourdough and pesticide free rose sandwich? Surely not!😁

What did I say about Po Faced?😁
