Biggest u-turn since the Tories announced a new policy

I've got a "schtick" to uphold, dontcha know

@George_Osborne U-turn coming on social care. There will be a cap. Read today's @EveningStandard for the details

The country has ended up making a profit from bailing out Lloyds Banking Group, so maybe we should be thanking at least some of those nasty banking rascals? (yes, I know RBS is a completely different story)

That's gonna look a bit skew-wiff if the under armour logo stays on one side

I always said I'd wait until the end of the season before casting judgement on the managerial situation. On balance, I think it would be best to replace Puel at this juncture. That's not because I don't think Puel could improve things next season, its more to do with the fact that he's lost the support of a significant proportion of the fan base. As such, he would start next season under considerable pressure from game one. Going into the season with a prevailing wind of negativity needs to be avoided and if replacing Puel is the only way to achieve that then so be it.

I've always liked that Vardy fella...

Might be an idea to wait until the end of the game before playing your "told you so" card?

Stoke wasting time already

West Brom take the lead. Down to 10th

Can you give us an example of a revelation you've posted, the crux of which wasn't already in the public domain, or which couldn't have been extrapolated from something that was?

Neville Southall has spoken... only 3 weeks to save the planet folks!

Assume that's addressed at Lady Trousers? I'll ask her and let you know

Theresa May's "Dementia Tax" (the socialists 'clever' name for it) is causing a bit of a stir in the Trousers household. Lady Trousers thinks its unreasonable for the state to be able to tap into the equity in our house (less £100k) to finance the (potential) cost of our care in old age. One of her observations is that someone with a similar lifestyle to us living in, say, Carlisle, could (would?) end up paying less for their elderly care than us simply because their house is likely to be worth less than ours (on a like-for-like basis), due to us living in the inflated house prices world that is the south east of England. Maybe there will be regional nuances in the final policy details that levels things out, but without knowing how the policy will work in practice, it does seems a tad "unfair" on the surface. Does Lady Trousers have a fair point?

Very much going to script thus far. Bravo. Keep it going. #winkything

Nice one P.s. I've got a copy of the script of how this thread will go. PM me if interested.
