This is very interesting... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c150leql9pgo

After Dinner Speeches. I don't like listening to her talk now, God knows I wouldn't pay for it.

The same ones who said Putin had cancer and months to live a few years ago I bet.

TBF it's still way too high, but yeah, the right wing press won't ever shout about it.

Indeed they are: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jan/14/uk-borrowing-costs-drop-interest-rate-cuts-bond-yields-gilts As you say, slivers of positive news.

Ah...I see what I did. Thank God I didn't capitalise it or I'd be bang to rights.

I'm not sure I've ever said anything to the contrary - in fact I have said this consistently.

Correct, it doesn't. I don't think anyone is suggesting that the Tories are a better alternative because they've shown they're really not. Politics needs reform. Big pay rises needed for new MPs to attract the right people into politics. No-one that I sit with would even look to consider it, but they're the type of people we should look to attract.

Yep, he must be getting pretty dizzy. Very unpopular policy though, so worth doing a u-turn on.

People from Alsace are allowed to have sex aren't they?

I'm not challenging anything, and I haven't on this thread if you take a look, because I have substantial assets and money in the US that I need to remove. Therefore, I will not risk my opinion on Trump being in the public domain, just to have a debate with a morally corrupt cunt like yourself.

Yawn 🥱

But we knew that didn't we? It's very easy to identify the posters on here with no morals or ethics.

Why would I have a book about you being a boring twat?

It's not the complexity by any means, I just find you and your posts boring and full of subjective bollocks.

NGL, I got bored a paragraph in and stopped reading.

Those shirts are fucking horrendous 😂

Costs for us are off the fucking scale ATM. Two kids at private school, £700-800 a month energy bills over Winter (solar doesn't help with gas bills), Sky, Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Spotify (when did that get so expensive btw?), and I stupidly bought a second hand 2018 Range Rover which has cost me £11k in the last 8 months. Clothes - Paul Smith, Carhartt, All Saints, Gant, Reiss I like as well Phone - Xiaomi 15T Pro - only ever do Android. Eating eat we're trying to cut down on as could do with saving a bit of money. Holidays - a couple a year including skiing, but because of private schools we can go away slightly outside the normal holidays so they can be quite a bit cheaper. Luckily we have no mortgage or I'd need to go back to full time work...

Lesley Nielsen as LT Frank Drebin in the Naked Gun films 😂

So tax cuts under a Reform Government would be a fucking nightmare and not benefit, as it was under the Tories.

https://edition.cnn.com/business/live-news/us-jobs-report-december-01-09-2026 It's as if stability, not tax cuts, is what businesses need to have confidence to create jobs.

There's no police in those communities anyway...
