Don't rate Patterson. But loved what I saw from McCabe last time out.

He's still a class player at this level but his pace has gone. His brain knows precisely where and when to go but the legs won't get there as quickly as they used to. He'd be good last 15 at 2-0 up. And he's a leader.

And to simplify it for the vast majority...

1 million seconds is 11 days

1 billion seconds is 33 years

£1bn is a vast sum of money!

“There is no doubting that the impact of Brexit is severe and long-lasting." Says Rachel Reeves. It’s become convenient for the Chancellor to tell the truth about Brexit, at long last…

Disappointingly I have to agree. Nevertheless there have been some really positive stuff over the past 15 months but sure as hell the negatives and poor messaging has ruined all of that.

On the back of this post can someone explain "Working Families Tax Credits" please. Obvs I'm not criticising it just wondering if the need for it is that people who receive it are quite simply not paid enough by their employer? That would support the idea of a decent National Living Wage.

Fair point. I imagined some sort of sarcasm but didn't want to miss expressing my points. Back to my chores now then 😩

You could ask for some common sense! Where is the loss of Stamp Duty going to go?
You could ask for some reality! Have our Public Services been crashed by Austerity of the Tories? And you want to do it all over again?
She gave it 110% my backside!

For those who have forgotten that Austerity has been the cause of ALL our public services being destroyed. Now she wants to do it all over again.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Our media lets us down badly :

Labours accomplishments - rarely mentioned

Nigel Farage’s house - dropped/ignored

Nathan Gill’s admission of working for Russia - zilch

Russia/Iran funding Reform/Farage - silence

Instead they spread lies on the Budget/MPs/anything to discredit Labour

Why????

And they've told us in advance that that is their objective. We have been warned.

When we all switch off.

No argument from me on those points. Reform are an utter disgrace.
However, my point was simply that much of what the majority voted for last year is not being delivered. Indeed Lab are more focussed towards fighting Reform than delivering what the Country needs.

But it's not necessarily true. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Eg. We could just spend spend and spend. Public services across the board. Roads. Buildings. Money in the pockets of the workers. See how the economy grows then. (Don't @me about the so called deficit it's a myth. Ask Japan)

Seems they're like everyone else. Say what you like to get elected and then fail to deliver.
