I was a bit hasty but ultimately when you have the sky news defence editor within an hour calling it sabotage followed by the Estonian foreign minister then you know things are getting dicey.

It wouldn’t be a drone. More likely internal sabotage by someone paid off by the SVR. Although police are saying no indication of foul play so far. But given that this would be a war starting move, I’m guessing they’ll cover it up anyway.

Either way it’s completely dire. Either a) we’re at war or b) our critical infrastructure has one power supply source, which is insane.

We have to respond, the question is how

Indeed, you can argue those that can navigate the system are disproportionately those that are less likely to need PIP in a sense. The most vulnerable find it incredibly difficult and are shamed by the whole welfare system. I hope yourselves and your daughter can get what you need.

finally, a mainstream journalist that actually understands it.

Also supporting disabled people into work by making adjustments would be seen as a symptom of the woke virus. See how people react to EDI leads in the NHS, people think it’s so that people can be employed to talk about how bad colonialism is whereas the actual stuff is about increasing accessibility to people who can’t work because of physical and mental health needs.

The whole system is broken and it needs some serious thinking to try and overcome it. Anyone who has tried different approaches mainly thinking Corbyn and Truss, have been well and truly spat out and rejected by the system.

The only thing I would say is that the job market is atrocious at the moment. Lots of very poor paying jobs that just wouldn’t help people make ends meet.

We give mad contracts to players who we then can’t shift. What makes people think we don’t do the same for managers?

There is zero reason to take Daka off and leave Vardy on

I know he’s atrocious but at least Daka is putting himself about and getting himself into decent positions. Better than anything others have done in the past 2 months.

At least two Leicester lads have done alright today (Barnes and the ref).

Ricardo dropped

If Arsenal win every game (they won’t), Liverpool would need to win 5 of their last 9

Have you not seen the stuff regarding a new stadium? It’s still pretty toxic there.

Big six isn’t really a thing anymore is it. On every metric, Newcastle are probably ahead of spurs.

Yes it is, he’s stood right in front of the keeper

It’s a sad indictment on the league that this Liverpool team are going to win the league by so much

Young people are despised in the country. They’re seen as ungrateful purely for aiming to have the same opportunity as their forebearers. How dare we.

Sorry, I misinterpreted what you said. You’re right and the aging thing is correct. Given how the older generation are much more politically engaged just makes things even more difficult. There was a furore over the winter fuel allowance, let’s see if the older folk are as sympathetic to the cause of younger people with disability having their welfare funds frozen while the triple lock goes up.

It’s not hard to invest in defence and also not cut things like PIP. I know there’s little crossover in terms of where the money is coming from but the optics for the politically disengaged are obvious. The obvious solution is to pay for both by wealth tax if it really is that big of an issue, then those with the actual money should pick up the bill. Or maybe we need a bit more mental health stigma, outlining how those that can’t work are feckless and lazy, destroying the country while simultaneously hyping that Russia will invade the country next week. The two biggest threats the economy of this country, the disabled and Putin.

What’s the bigger threat to the UK do you think? The Russian geo-sphere or escalating inequality?
