It's alright for some then. As for Hodge, I thought Labour wanted abolish the House of Lords not so long back. Now they appear to be stuffing them in just like the Tories.

Mate, if you think the "working class" i.e. the ordinary people of this country are not going to be taxed further you are in for a rude awakening.

All sounds very nice but what do you mean by a "robustly functional tax system"?

Ah, the magic of the money trees. I'm afraid taxing 'Joe Public' is inevitable.

We're back in the top flight again. My only hope is that we don't repeat the performances of the 2022/23 season.

I agree, all unsavoury.

Nothing to do with allowing pornographic films entered on her parliamentary expenses and commentators stating she was "completely out of her depth" and "unsuitable" as Home Secretary". Considering Starmer now has over 400 MPs at his disposal his decision to rely on a former discredited politicians must come into question.

For an outfit, Labour, who wanted to abolish the Upper Chamber not so long ago have today announced the discredited Jacqui Smith a life peerage so she can re-enter the Government. She has been an MP for decades after the allowances and expenses scandal. I thought we wanted to get away from all the sleaze that has surrounded Parliament.

No, a point either you don't want to see nor understand. Now I can't help any more so I suggest you trawl back to my original post and read it.

Ah well, that's your misfortune.

I'm not going to reiterate my point again. All you have to do is look at my original post on this topic, that's all and that will explain everything.

Too little too late. Southgate reactive not proactive, time to go.

So, you admit there was a note? Well done!!

The fact is that if politicians kept their gobs shut and just got on with job there would be nothing to "bang" on about,

This game has got 4-0 written all over it.

Delusional? I was merely quoting what Reeves has said and comparing it to the note Byrne left in 2010. Sounds as though you're too young to remember.

Today is the day when the cream of England players need to step up to the plate and deliver. No excuses.

And that's my point. At least Labour have been left some rather than the cupboard is bare.

Oh dear, I see Reeves, the new Chancellor, is already saying "there's not a huge amount of money there" and that's in her first day in Office!!

Mbappe didn't want to take a pen.

I think it's called apathy.

Germany out!!

High tackle!!

Match winner all the way.

And it is because of this that PR would be preferable. There will always be an element in this country who will never vote but the 40% of people who didn't bother to vote this time no doubt believe their vote doesn't count and in many ways with the system we have they are probably right.
