Only true to a point. If tax rises and other other potential actions damage rather than improve the economy then it will be those at on the lowest incomes that will suffer the most, not the richest.

But If the Tories had done this they would have been apoplectic!

Reserves are essentially cash and/or liquid assets such as equities and other investments that can be relatively quickly realised. What I would call 'proper' charities are expected (by the Charity commission rules) to have a minimum of 3 months of costs as reserves. This is becoming increasingly...

I think charitable status has been historically abused in this way for many years. It is why the likes of Eton and Chist Hospital are able to claim tax free charity status despite having huge assets and benefitting a very small section of society that don’t NEED what they offer but would LIKE...

So the government should refuse to rule out Rwanda because “the previous government came up with (it) to resolve a crisis”? Both concepts are equally immoral in my eyes and I am shocked that Labour are not doing the easy but right thing by ruling both out from day one.

https://news.sky.com/story/offenders-could-serve-sentence-in-estonian-prisons-to-ease-overcrowding-13210297 Are Labour trying to outdo the Tories by creating controversy after controversy? The Tories achieved this largely by incompetence but it’s starting to feel like a Labour policy all of its own

Forecast not good............:(

Anyone going to Sussex this evening? Forecast is crap ☹️

Really? I thought the education system was underfunded with a shortage of teachers, crumbing buildings and excessive class sizes. Have I got this wrong?

That's a good point. Suggests the school's financial problems were long standing and not because of the VAT change

Agree with all of this but my fear is the impact of thousands of pupils having to move into an already overstretched sector. No idea whether the Stoke case will prove to be a one off or the first of many though. I read somewhere how many private schools are dependent on income from overseas...

What rubbish! There is and was no danger of a run on the pound, in fact sterling has gradually been strengthening for a long period of time. The economy is also on an upward trajectory and this has not get anything to do with Labour's policies either (far too soon to have an effect). The legacy...

The economy is not in a mess and I fear Starmer’s rhetoric on this will come back to bite him and us. However, the country and in many ways our whole society, is in a mess largely because the Tories utterly mismanaged the massive amount of money raised through the highest level of taxation in...

Is that behind a paywall?

In the old away end at the Dell you could only see half the pitch from much of it!

Anyone remember saints at home and the north stand continuously singing ‘where’s your finger, where’s your finger Charlie George? In a flymo, in a flymo, in a flymo Charlie George!

I am an avid reader of this thread as I am learning and understanding far more about the conflict on nsc than I am from the likes of the BBC and sky, whose coverage is sketchy to say the least. Thank you to the main contributors for your insights, I suspect I am not alone in my appreciation of...

Fair shout but I don’t agree with making personal abusive comments. Just my POV.

A fine example of trolling and abusing a person behind a key board. If you don’t like his punditry, fine, but why make it personal?
