All these Russells, comin' over 'ere, with their 'youth' comedy, runnin' 'round the stage, like lunatics. Bloody Russells.

Kane, Brand, Howard - all the Russells.

Having a good career doesn't mean you have talent. Even Leon Best (Newcastle Championship title 2009-10) has won more than Harry Kane.

You seem to be presenting your opinion as fact. What some people perceive as weak other people perceive as fair. It may be that the unions "try it on next year". Or, it may be that these settlements make up in part for years of Tory neglect and a diminishment of income in real terms, so...

They are neck and neck with the bookies, Harris is ahead nationally but there is a perception polled voters like to keep their Trump preference secret, with many telling the pollsters they're undecided. That is worth 1 or 2 percent, apparently, so enough for a 2-4% swing which - with the...

The most talentless, over-promoted person since Liz Truss.

How is this a point - "The reason this is a very bad, short-termist idea will become apparent quite soon. I won’t spoil it for you. Just wait and see." My nan had a saying for situations like this. It was "Shit or get off the pot".

I think what the unions were asking for wasn't unreasonable, and anyway you have to get Britain back to work to get the economy going again. There is a cost if you do nothing.

In proper news, all major industrial disputes have now been resolved following a tumultuous period. Since the Labour government came to power on 5 July 2024, pay offers for resident doctors, rail workers and elsewhere in the public sector have been accepted by trade union members. Britain is...

Chateau D'Reims 2016. I'm guessing that will be very much to your taste.

Utter bullshit thread.

Hurzeler got Manager of the Month and this season is the first time we've gone first 5 unbeaten in the top flight, so ridiculous to get too worked up ater our first defeat. Palmer is a world class player. Hats off to him - you don't bag 4 in a half without being special. Second - no JP and...

This country hasn't got a hope if the media keep the focus on trivialities rather than the big picture. We've had 8 years of this distracting minutae, from the Brexit sunlit uplands, Partygate, Harry and Meghan, Farage and his riots, Tory infighting, Stop The Boats, and now Starmer's...

1. I'm doing a Tax Return right now for an 81 year old guy whose interest income just increased on his one building society account from £1,469.20 in 2022/23 to £15,962.78 in 2023/24. His capital savings in that account have increased by £298,733 to £334,696, so half of that is his interest...

Any pensioner that has £10,000 or more in a savings account would have seen the annual interest yield increase from c. £150 to £450 in recent years. Now I'm not saying every pension has £10,000 in savings, but I suspect the vast majority have and most of those that that haven't will continue to...

Indeed, except for the last couple years where he has been a Silver Shadow of his former self.

It's not whataboutery, it's perspective and realism. If you are going to 'fire' any leader that accepts a few freebies at £20K a year then you will never get anybody you support to be PM -be they left right or centre. Given the colossal kick back culture of the last Tory government (PPE...

According to their website: "The National Housing Party's main aim is to dismantle the Red Wall and the Blue Wall. Then build a lovely spare bedroom with en suite."

So prospective - and now actual PM - Sir Keir Starmer has averaged £20K a year in freebie for the last 5 years. Who cares?? That's just one big lunch to Boris and his Bullingdon buddies. Sue Gray earns £170K a year - that'll buy you one tennis match with Boris Johnson if you are the wife of a...

Everyone aged 16 or over has an NI number. If at the point of grant at probate it was reported electronically to HMRC the net estate together with NI number of beneficiaries and their share of estate then HMRC would know even before the assets had been conveyed as to who has got what. HMRC...
