I do wonder that considering labour didn't bother with things like policies to win by default, if Truss' lettuce competitor would have also been voted in. Perhaps I can modify my post to bring "Labour were too far to the left to be electable. Having moved to the right to get elected, they can now have some time to move a bit further to the left to get some of those ideas in place."

I'll need to dig up the beeb podcast from the other week, but the bit I heard related to Labour dealing with the IMF in the '70s to get a loan. It was interesting to hear more nuances on the economy during his time, the things they were doing to correct it, and the flawed treasury figures that stuffed them at various points. Just reminded of it as you mentioned debt and there are recent articles of the IMF telling us what we should be doing.

I think Labour needed a Starmer. Someone to drag them enough to the centre to be broad enough to win. Someone who would change depending on the circumstances. Once in, there was enough of the left of centre there to turn on him. Now we've got someone with more of an ideology, which we've not seen for a while. But had it been Burnham trying to get Labour elected on a "Let's go back to the '70s, once I've agreed policy with the unions" that would have been a lot harder. I can't say they wouldn't have got in as the Conservatives were wretched. But normally, he wouldn't have been electable.

My brother got me a current Match that had league ladders in it. They'd have made my list had they not popped up again (and Match from the list is still here too) From the list, I'd only take James Richardson x Football Italia and Teletext 302. I'd also like the early Daily Telegraph football fantasy. Books with player profiles would be released giving you a heads up. That's why I went with the Man City midfield the season they got relegated. Much like they should be this season. I think you had to phone your transfers in, pre internet. And Championship Manager 93/94. Where seasons were quick, and it wasn't bloated.

I'd have thought crashing into the ocean was a bit splashy. When you add boomy along with splashy, that's two things while the others only had the splashy bit. Revolutionary?

I think the manager already said that Baz would not be available for the "return" fixture. Perhaps a second armband could be worn by the rest of the players. I'll be interested to see if Azaz starts.

Deterrent will play a strong part in it. Groups with 900m of money to conceal = very, very few. People with smartphones who can badly hide behind trees = could be anyone. Tonda's lifetime ban and Man City's indulgent chuckle with the word "rascals" used, is therefore fitting.

Ex-Saints boss on the charges. A very laid back Pochettino mentions us, even if does focus a bit more on the restrictions at Spurs. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cmed7q89vp5no

Unless it detonated the satellites to make a "Free Tonda!" sign, I'm just not convinced. 🙂 Did this chat decide on what was considered revolutionary? For example, Technological advances - and possibly referring to innovative solutions to specific problems of their own, as much as through general advancement. Or from advances made as a direct result of their work. Access - Impacting markets through opening up the field commercially and economically beyond governments. Advancement - 'The people of Piddington Moonbase say "No!" to a plan to have a Lunar I migration centre build nearby. "We'll go to zeta 2 reticuli, if this keeps up. Just see if we don't."

Pretty much my thoughts. No pensioner should be living near, or in, poverty, due to the lack of a pension. Not every pensioner will need a triple lock increase. But I'm more concerned with the first lot. So keeping pensions at that level should be the minimum goal, regardless of the mechanisms to keep it there. The pensioners I know we'll seem to be fine. Not so sure about others I see in wider settings though.

It must have been Hart I caught a bit of last night. He was talking about "my truth", a phrase I hate on top of a club he'd give his all for because it was run by people he had the utmost trust in. I think he's a regular on the thing I was listening to. So, in fairness, it would have been odd had he not appeared, and odd had he not been asked about it.

I guess the in-laws really struggled with that day's Wordle.

This was what I was thinking. Right before I, as noted, picked non-English biscuits, and promptly got myself deported. Immigration leaving trap biscuits in the aisles. More icing than ICE in our polite British system.

I find the crumbling, fractious nature of the Garibaldi to be reminiscent of the inherent instability of Italian politics. The spectre of impending destruction, makes it too sad a biscuit to consume. The Empire biscuit was once the German biscuit. A strong, robust biscuit that you can march to, as well as a reminder of days when we got on really well with the Germans.
