As Kraken has said, and I've said previously, you just give vague waffle mate. You ignore questions. I'm ignoring you.

The report is interesting to the least. Delegate PiP type payments to local authorities, replace defined benefit state pensions with defined contribution schemes, all but abandon SEND kids. I gave up after that. Ralph has obviously swallowed that.

I can't believe you're persevering. He's not specific about anything because he doesn't know what he's talking about.

It's NI contribution linked.

I call it a welfare benefit because it is. I don't think it should be means tested, but I think it will be at some point because it's unaffordable.

I haven't suggested they can be. I think lots of our public and welfare expenditure is unsustainable. The thing is, we have people simultaneously wanting some welfare payments slashed, but not the ones they want including the state pension. That's the society we live in - fuck them, but look after me. Child benefit became means tested, and it'll be the state pension next.

It's a lot to people who don't have much other income. I think the whole thing will end up being means tested and be seen more as a benefit.

You say well done, but what bits do you like? Do you agree that we pay immigrants up to £24k to return home? How about replicating their "parallel societies" policy, including demolishing homes? We need to make ourselves less attractive but there are boundaries of reasonableness.

There are billions spent and wasted across many areas of government spending. Regardless of that, the triple lock is something I'd selfishly love to still be there when I start drawing a state pension, but I know it won't be, and that it cannot be afforded.

If they remove it, and run on that basis, I'll respect their honesty if nothing else. The triple lock is great if you receive and need a state pension, but unaffordable.

I'm with you on this. A lot of people see a better player than I do.

Sadly. That said, and despite the shit performances and opposition, he's got us a much needed 6 points and is hopefully starting to instill a bit of confidence.

Big Sam would be proud.

On Downs?

When Yan Valery is getting the better of your midfield, you know your midfield is shit.
