    i think part of the problem is (in my very humble opinion) that we've had about 15-20 years of certain people describing perfectly normal, mainstream conservative views as "racist" or "far right" that so many people are casually called that on platforms like this and even on TV (this goes back...

    The way he just pledges himself to a set of values and principles before casually throwing them in the bin puts him in the very worst category of slimey politician. Just look at his pledges on Labour policy he made to win the party leadership. "I'm a socialist don't you know" becomes climbing...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    All you can ask of a manager is to identify an issue/threat and try to take steps to combat it. Unfortunately you do have to then go to the players to take responsibility on the pitch. We are vulnerable personnel wise to a quick switch as none of our defenders are very good 1 v 1

    Leaving aside the debate as to whether Brexit was good or bad: - Did he call the referendum? - Did he vote 17 million odd times to leave? - Did he decide on our future relationship with the EU post-Brexit? Farage hasn't f*cked or done anything. He hasn't been in power. Which is a big part of...

    OMT Mighty Spurs vs Hungry Wolves

    I don't know what he is learning although to be fair you prioritise solidity and build from that. It is the only way to do it. In terms of the players i am sure that any other club would not be as fluid and look slightly blunt if they lost their first choice striker and their firat and second...

    You've also got to be coherent and focused on driving outcomes. When you come in saying "fiscal rules" and that you've got limited money to spend, if you then: - Give NHS staff massive pay rise with no conditions (i.e. you are basically just paying far more for the same services) - Justify this...

    Yep. Its been coming. And all of the geopolitics that have undercut her plans so spextacularly have been in place in terms of direction of travel for years. Hence my rant at roll back on tax pledges. They are getting trashed at next election.

    They don't overrule. They simply publish independent analysis forecasts of the impact of government economic policy in the budget. Making Starmer and Reeves look like total cretins isn't "overruling"

    So good ol Rachel has confirmed plans to water down the OBR's influence by providing a single forecast a year, rather than adjusting their forecasts based on an analysis of every government's proposed budget. This effectively "delinks" the OBR's economic forecasts from specific government...

    There are a lot of depictions of violence in the bible, but mostly in the old testament (the bit shared with jewish and islamic texts). I am not religious but i was brought up as a catholic and taken to Sunday school and mass (in latin) every Sunday until my grand parents died. The teachings...

    Most actual tax experts (e.g. Dan Niedle) agree that if you were to do a wealth tax, the only one that is actually not a complete load of gonads conceptually and practically is a LVT. You probably couldn't apply it to offshore owned eatates though. Legal jurisdiction of the UK to do that...

    There isn't a totally free market. And under Reform there wouldn't be either. There would be a mixed market. In fact, they are in favour of nationalisation.

    On what basis though? It is easy thing to say? "They'll ravage the working classes". How? Apart from anything else their voter base is significantly working class so if working class people don't feel better off under them, they're f*cked. - Net migration is likely to fall significantly under a...

    The message i replied to of yours was clearly meant to be a broader observation. I.e. you said "those that defend his lack of depth". He brings as much detail as necessary and he doesn't engage with a question directly if he is not sure of the facts. He is very rarely made to look like a fool...
