Fair play to the government for ignoring the moronic Palestine Action criminals on hunger strike.

The Shadow Line and The English, both by Hugo Blick.

Saw the stage version in London last year, that was very good even though I knew every line.

Peaky Blinders, GoT and LoD all magnificent but scarred by poor final seasons IMO. Interesting to hear about more recent shows like Yellowstone and Landman as I haven't seen those yet. Best thing currently for me is Slow Horses, just finished Down Cemetry Road which is by the same writer and was very good.

And Resident Doctor's going on strike😃

What’s he said this month that is racist?

He was 14 at the time, who gives a fuck what he 'may' have said.

Thank you, much appreciated. However, I would like to hear it from the main man himself.

He hasn't mentioned me yet, which I find deeply upsetting. He knows full well that I'm Islamaphobic (whatever that means) and that I voted Reform so must be fascist/racist too.

I think it’s a little bit more serious than that, she deliberately misled people. She is fucking hopeless but do they have anyone less incompetent?

Maybe you should change your username to ‘Prima Donna Saint’

What measures? Genuine question, all I see is them making it more difficult for employers to take people on.

I must have missed all the news reports of kids dying from poverty over the past 8 years

That’s a different issue, one for HMRC to resolve. The tax hikes will punish those businesses that do pay their corporation tax on time.

Unfortunately what the budget doesn’t do is promote growth, small businesses especially are less likely to take on more staff due to the taxes on jobs. All of this means less tax revenue and more welfare payments.

You come out with some horrendous shit now, Christ knows what you must have said when you were a teenager.

Of course, it is good to see inflation fall, but it's less than expected and still leaves us with higher inflation than the rest of Europe. It was pretty much level with Europe before the GE.

And when she tore Carla Denyer a new one, very impressive woman.

I’m really starting to warm to Shabana Mahmood, remarkable response to a comment from a Lib Dem MP where she describes how she has been called “a F**$$ Paki”. She has bigger balls than Starmer.

Wrong, 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating'. Sorry to be a pedant but it does irritate me when people use that phrase incorrectly.

Only if the policies actually work and even then, they don't go as far as the Tories or Reform would want. It could though cause a split within the Labour party. Fair play to Mahmood though, at least her and Streeting are actually genuinely trying to get things done, unlike Starmer and Reeves who just drift along like a couple of turds in the sewer.

It looks like the Tories WILL support the proposed asylum reforms, this could be very interesting.

They spooked the markets, not business. I do agree though, it was a disater.

I’m not sure Rachel can either at the moment.
