This is just untrue except when it comes to voting on principle but the reality is that's just a folly. In the US they basically have a choice between the Tories or Reform. The Democrats are not a progressive left party. When it comes down to money the Democrat conscience becomes just as...

I can't help but feel really sour about this. I get he's Spanish and might want to play for a team like Madrid but they've always been an arsehole team, mostly full of cheats, now they have a knobhead manager plus they treated him like shit with the Balon D'or saga. To be honest I'd take...

NHS waiting lists are still at record highs since COVID so it sort of makes sense that the number of people claiming on medical grounds will be high too. Who is to say how many of those are 'proper' medical conditions, that's for a doctor to decide but it doesn't mean that every medical...

We are paying £765pm at the moment for 4 days per week and that's with the 30 free childcare hours. I don't know how people did it when you only got 15hrs. Hopefully it'll decrease when she moves out of the baby room next year, it does seem cheaper as they get older but what do I know.... I...

Of course not, but there was a jet available so he used it. That's a choice. It was also a choice to start an office in the north when the job can be done completely and 100% from an office that already exists in the south. I don't know anything about the contract involved but it obviously...

I'm going to have a look at that because we got screwed a bit (as did everyone) at our last remortgage. We were paying £830pm or so and that went up to £1100 or so because of rate rises. I only fixed for 2 years last year thinking rates would come down soon but they haven't come down much. It's...

I have a solution for this, don't go at all. We pay billions for Parliament and Westminster, there is simply no requirement to double that up. I get the whole regionalisation thing but having an office and transporting Parliament to that office every week does not achieve anything so it is just...

Whatever it cost to fuel up that jet and fly it to Manchester is money that could have been spent on NHS care or just about anything else that could have been ten times more impactful. If the most key minister in the land can waste money like this then what is happening across the whole food chain?

That's my point so why are people only talking about the total necessity of putting up taxes? Why aren't Labour looking to reduce completely unnecessary spending such as this so that taxes don't need to go up? Gary Lineker is another case in point. He claims that he wants to be taxed more but...

I just looked at my pension for the first time in years and it's worth £70k and up 38% over the last few years. I'm 37 and putting the absolute maximum in without AVCs. I do 7% and my employer does 10%. How do you know whether this is high, low, good or bad? I'd like to semi-retire in my early...

He used a private Airbus to fly him to and from London. It won't be far off. Could he not have got on the train and saved thousands?

We all know exactly what will happen, they'll spend millions on it and the next government will get in and then it will be cancelled. If our finances are truly in the shit then ministers should be leaning up the country but quite clearly this represents the total opposite. It is a total waste...

The government doesn't want to simplify tax because complication is how they portion their budgets. If they simplified tax into simple flat rates then what if there is a credit crunch and a jobs crisis? Less tax would be paid and they couldn't move the ball anywhere because everything is all in...

No. It means the millionaires get taxed more, that tax gets burnt on a bonfire and nothing changes. As it stands £111bn gets spent annually on debt interest (£50-60bn more than we spend on defence) so any 'new' tax will just go towards debt repayments.

I gave up the day they started battering pensioners, farmers, NI increases, arse covering on Mandelson, insane food inflation, inaction on energy, inaction on defence, digital ID (nobody voted for it).... etc etc. And that's just the last 2 years. However I would agree that the alternative...
