Until someone bites the bullet, slashes spending, and does the difficult pro-growth reforms this country desperately needs, we will continue to have a ridiculous carousel of Prime Minsters. The truth is the Prime Minister could have survived the Mandelson scandal if people felt better off in their pockets. While there’s no growth, there’s no longevity of political tenure. Blair survived plenty of scandal, and plenty of Mandelson, ultimately because everything in life’s wider context didn’t feel so desperately shit. Until we have a political class brave enough to end the overspending, liberalise the labour market, and *actually* overhaul the planning system - we’re going to be stuck in this same psychodrama of doom.

Anyone with a pulse should brace themselves. I am no fan of Starmer but he is the last man between Britain and full-fat socialism (Burnham, Rayner). They will raise borrowing and taxes and we’ll get to a depression quicker than you can say Laffer Curve.

Aged like milk. @reformparty_uk don’t have the minerals. The triple lock is an unfunded, inflation-linked perpetual bond with no cap and no maturity date. Every major party just committed to keeping it. None of them can explain how a shrinking tax base, 9 million inactive working-age adults, and a gilt market already at breaking point absorbs a ratchet that compounds at 4%+ and never gives back. Lucky for you, @GreatBritishTT have modelled it over 10, 20, and 30 year horizons. The numbers are absolutely brutal: gbtt.info/triple-lock.ht…

Never mind the bottom side, this is the first time in Premier League history a team top of the table has let a 2+ goal lead slip against a team in the relegation zone

I dont think there's anything Carrick can do to put himself ahead of Enrique, maybe Ancelotti too. But what he can do is put himself ahead of the rest. Theres no way he gets us top 3/4 and INEOS go "thanks Michael, but DeZerbi/ Glasner/ Howe etc will take it from here"...

The combined tuition fees of the entire Question Time panel would not cover my cost for 1 year of uni. Is that fair?

Santander launches 2% deposit mortgage to help first-time buyers. It means an eligible buyer could purchase a £500,000 home with just a £10,000 deposit.  thisismoney.co.uk/money/mortgage…

They spent all week trying to tell us they'd beat 2008 Manchester United and couldn't even beat 2026 Manchester United. 😭

Patrick Dorgu since he started playing LW.

Ten Hag won more at United than Arteta has at Arsenal and we appointed him 3 years later and sacked him 18 months ago.
