Has to be some sort of record, surely

Was speaking to my dad about this because he technically qualified previously despite the fact he still worked on a part time basis. Apparently he got £500 last year which he gave to a fuel poverty charity because he thought it was immoral to keep it. The man earns comfortably £40k a year working part time and his wife is full time employed still. He owns his own home which is paid off. Why in fuck would he ever need winter fuel allowance? I appreciate he's not typical by a long stretch of everyone but ffs. It's actually an insult to all younger generations that this had gone on so long.

No one in the Tory party has any right to call out anyone in any other party for not being a grown up after Boris Johnson. Or Braverman. Or Truss. Or Matt fucking Hancock.

I honestly dread to think what transpires with this and Ukraine if Trump wins - as it's starting to sound like he may.

Iran are along way from saints in all this either frankly. Not good news at all. Does Iran actually think it can handle Israel though..?

You know.. I think I'd take that. It has the added benefit of making a mockery of the whole system.

I don't know that either, really am coming up short in life ffs..

I only got 22 so don't feel too bad Was never very strong on trivia in general.

Is that date noted when he started following it? That's some commitment.

I didn't mean literally ffs I forgot that was even a feature tbh, does anyone use that?

So this thread has stats and people ripping the piss, both with and without stats. This is going to be a good thread. I do appreciate the effort that goes into it anyway though Dave, will follow it

What in fuck is a wolfie doodle too... Is this the cost of us winning?!

I am frankly amazed that @Selkirk didn't notice that this thread existed. NUFC have long been known as the snuggle bugs after all...

That article makes sense and explains a lot. It's so convincing that it makes me wonder why Hope works for the Mail at all.

Completely support both the point and the anger with which it was delivered.

It's just vindictive. Which I will concede a lot of people in the hard left are.

Gloom is literally in this thread two pages back saying that he's dismayed that despite thinking that this is what would happen, it hasn't. People on here were definitely saying this man Labour were saying nothing whatsoever, I'll give you that.

For what it's worth, I don't agree with the hard left approach on the Gaza situation - it's too tribal when it should be focused on the best solution for all people. So yeah I agree with you on this.

Understood - and thanks. Why are the members supporting their union in making that play (the first one)? As you say, it seems pointless.

This is of course what they think they're doing too. Anyway look, I dunno why I've waded into this - it never achieves anything. I apologise and will go back to steering clear of this thread.

Steady on princess, you're officially on the left of me based on that conversation the other week. You came flying out of the blocks at Labour, I didn't.

Actually I'd find that quite interesting if you can be bothered, especially the trade union one. I'm genuinely always open to improving my outlook with relevant information.

I mean I was told on here for years in the run up to this that Labour were keeping their cards close to their chest, that they were saying what they had to do in order to win, but that them winning would be transformative. That they just said what they needed to say to win, but they'd do untold good once in power. I knew it was bollocks, so I'm not surprised and am actually judging them as fairly as I can do given that I never believed any of that shit to start with, but I think what the left are doing is making clear to people that this notion was a lie. Besides, you don't even care what the left are saying. They're holding power to account as best they can, just view them as a counter balance to the right wing noise. It's not hurting anything.

I do view it from the other side tbh as I said beforehand - if people like myself are literally never calling out for things we want, how is anyone to know that there is demand for it? I honestly don't see what the harm in people voicing their opinions is, especially now that Labour have won and you've got everything you wanted for the next few years. Tbh mate, you likely even agree with 99% of everything they believe in. So you don't even have a philosophical difference on this, we just have a situation where you've accepted that this is the best we can get, and they haven't.
