Given current freeze is in place to 2028 I can only think she will announce it this budget to show she is prepared to take politically challenging decisions to secure up the treasury coffers. Otherwise announce it in the 2026 or 2027 budget. And by politically challenging I mean she’s...

Yup. We don’t know what Reeves plans on doing on benefits. I would be very surprised if she does anything given she’s not asking workers to pay, it would be bizarre for her to get those who need support to pay. I’m mostly interested in what she says about borrowing and loosen of the self...

Yes it’s been implemented - the vote was passed last month. Consequences won’t be known until it gets cold, but of course you know that. Some pensioners will die from conditions associated with cold weather. They do every year. 1m pensioners live on less the £269 a week but aren’t...

If it wasn’t for those pesky kids you would have done it.

You could just turn up as “recently” as the nineties as well. Not sure about Maine Road as had ST but certainly any away I woke up on a Saturday morning, checked hangover, and fancied going to was no mither getting in to. Its all changed with the euros in 1996 IMHO.

It’s highly unlikely to be administered by trained professionals- it’s the same as the diabetes injection folk routinely give themselves. Being available on the NHS is not a bad thing and people will be monitored by GPs. Main concerns for healthcare professionals are going to be around...

TBF you do drive some distances.

I lived in the US for a while, had an Audi Q8 which handled like an oil tanker, was comfy though. You don’t see many of the real performance cars when out and about compared to UK IMHO. You do make some fast cars though.

Cheers. Be interesting to see the results.

Motorbikes eh? Not potatoes? Ah you always want the Maris pipers
