Well ok they both broke the rules but leave also broke the law (I thought the rules were the law but ok).

Are you also prepared to admit the extra £9m remain got to spend off the books was unfair and undemocratic and more than negated the wrong doing of the leave side?

Actually both sides broke electoral law and were fined:

Also they fudged the rules so the remain campaign could use government money to spend £9m on leaflets which leave wasn't allowed to do.

Despite this massive and completely unfair advantage they still lost and are still trying to get leave campaigners locked up 8 years later

Yes with high inflation more and more people are getting dragged into higher tax brackets by fiscal drag. The tax thresholds should be getting raised at the same rate as inflation for everyone, not just a select group.

Someone who earns only £12750 a year is going to have the same problem with paying more tax as someone on the state pension, but won't get anything from the government apparently.

If that isn't going to happen for whatever reason I don't agree that one group should get a preferential deal just because the government might have to do some extra administration to deal with it.
Edit: Just saw stowmarketranger already made the exact same point already

Do the Tories want zero votes from anyone under 30? Maybe they have placed some bets they get under 1% of the vote for those groups.

Firstly they pretend to want to bring back national service. Today they want to give pensioners a larger tax free allowance that every one else. I'm sure the poor sods on the checkouts at Asda on minimum wage will be delighted that retired public sector workers on massive pensions will be paying less tax than they are.

The complete state of him these days. I think to be a long term manager you need to keep yourself in decent physical condition to keep up with the workload and stress over the years.

Alex Ferguson still looked in good health well into his 70s, whereas Rooney looks like he's been a homeless bum for the last 20 years. Hard to imagine he was still playing professional sport only 3 years ago.

Tories need to go, completely useless:

Huge wasteful public spending leaving the country's finances almost as bad as when they took over
Dodgy covid deals/schemes costing billions upon billions (I remember when losing half a million was considered a resigning offence - now lose £50bn and it's no worries lads)
Housing crisis, 700k+ people extra every year and nowhere to put them after promising to cut immigration to 10k.
Fck all for young British people, but millions a day for young blokes who just arrived this week on a dinghy.
Locked down the country unnecessarily IMO (controversial I know)
Completely failed to deal with perverse incentives (with 2 kids in nursery it's actually better to earn £99k than £140k wtf?)

I can't imagine Labour will be any better on any of these things, so I guess I'll be voting for Count Binface

We almost signed Zapata, who would have been crap here but was great in Italy, thus saving everyone a lot of time and misery.

We were crap at Stoke and then had a good couple of results after. I think we'll get something out of Plymouth.

No pain no gain (or in this case loss).
