What areas? Why are they unnecessary?

Any TV company carrying voxpop comments from people barely able to conjugate a sentence in English would be shut down when I become UK's supreme ruler. Vote for me. But don't, because I'm not counting your vote - I'm just assuming power.

I mean, not only does Sunak come across as a bit rapey - but he's doing it with a racist who believes Italy is currently undergoing "ethnic replacement". It's all manner of odd.

I'll put money nothing happens till after the Euros. Jon will have his shandies and popcorn ready in front of his big screen TV. Speaking to agents - who aren't on holiday?

Has Hanky turned into Alanis Morrisette?

Go ahead and disagree with facts all you want, it doesn’t change them.

Have you ever listened to any Brown speech ever? He's a captivating speaker. The idea he’s a poor communicator is simply for the birds.

Legg applied the regulations retrospectively. Had he not done so there would have been no brouhaha. That’s a matter of fact.

Homelessness was almost zero Everyone could see an NHS dentist You could get same-day doctor appointments You could rent or buy a house on a normal income Haven’t even started on his cabinet - Darling was rated across the house for his competence. By Christ the shit we’ve had to put up with since.

You know what would solve all this conjecture and wrangling? IF THE FVCKING CLUB FVCKING SPOKE TO US. Rudkin, Big Sue, Top - silence. All the fvcking time. And that he can take responsibility for. Communication started poorly when they took over and has sunk to a league-leading worst.

Without the decline in popularity due to the war and an economic environment created by global events, the only main issue with the expenses scandal was that it came about due to retroactive application - so expenses that were allowable suddenly became unallowable in the past. The media painted Brown as a poor communicator, they painted Cameron as a shiny new Blair, something he leant into. The media and the public were stupid. Incredibly stupid. Brown was head and shoulders the most intelligent and economically literate of our last ten PMs. Had we voted Brown back in we’d not have suffered the swinging reversals in social care we’ve experienced. He wasn’t in charge of a Major style administration - that was full of corrupt inept w@nkers.

Are we talking about the same Brown admin that proposed to introduce a new Ministerial Code created by a cross party committee to concrete standards and behaviour? The Brown administration wasn't brought down by "arrogance, complacency, entitlement incompetence" or "corruption", it was levelled by the fallout from Blair's war and the public's inability to understand who was responsible for sub-prime mortgage lending - believing the government to have caused a global crash because they're morons.

Is it possible to find proper Mexican grub or is the whole place touristy tex-mex guff?

Went to a Wedding Present gig in 2023.

Hate away - I'm used to it

If there are 17% of people still prepared to vote for the same politicians who’ve been ruining everything for fourteen years, it really shouldn’t surprise me that anyone here is still prepared to defend Rudkin…but it does.

Not. As in, I really like that word - NOT. It’s not 1992, you aren’t Michael Myers. Coolio? Good.

He's more likely holding out for Rudkin to increase the transfer budget to the promise of a fiver and a Mars bar than he is the England job.

That's not true, eh. They're not offering a different economic backdrop, but they are offering a different focus of priorities.

Very positive statement.
