    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    People who aren’t filling the job roles we need/are available (or doing the jobs that U.K. economically inactive would do/could with right training - less likely but possible), dependents of students and lower paid workers etc ps thought I’d seen that chart before !

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It would’ve helped but our PMIs have been stronger recently inc manufacturing which indicates some proper growth. As I’ve mentioned people/businesses were buying into a new government coming in, some long overdue stability and hopefully some growth policies (like the planning stuff...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Don’t want to be pedantic (again 😊), but it’s two quarters and this current one is looking ok based on the PMI readings (not wholly accurate) The problem the government will have is if/when it slows, which it undoubtedly will anyway, then the finger will be pointed at them for negative chat and...

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    Not saying I agree with it but I think that was Southgate logic. Gordon speaks very well. He also made comments prior to the game which were quite telling There were conspiracies that his talk about us being more aggressive/positive during the tournament (saying we needed to be better)...

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    Yeah, but I think he was very much setting up that team structure to be ready for the big boys ie hard to beat

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Agreed. BSBs also correct though. Ruling out the increases to the major tax revenue generators was unnecessary. For starters they should’ve just said Tories NI cut was totally unfunded so would have at least be looked at post election.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    He followed the party line to be fair. I was just saying to a mate I still think they’ve dropped a bollock. I personally would’ve gone down the route of riding the new government positivity wave, say we’ve finally got government stability, inflation heading back to normal and some growth after...

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    It’s is but also needs a bit of context. Southgate had to try to prepare us to beat the best teams in the summer and we do usually struggle for a bit of energy at end of season tournaments Having said that we appear to be pressing better, being a little bit braver on the ball and look far more...

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    Also helped having a left footer on the left whos also got a bit of a pace to stretch them edit - think he’s naturally right footed but can go with left as well

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The point was more that both sides have some elements/factions that are happy with high levels of immigration but also have others that want low/lower numbers (for differing reasons)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Both left and right have difficulties because different elements of their core support have different views on immigration A lot on the liberal left are happy with open borders and also appreciate that more migrants are likely to support/vote for them. The further/more socialist left worry...

    Transfer Rumour Matty James

    In an ideal world he wouldn’t have wanted to have lost him on the last day or two of the window but it was Palmer/his agent who forced the move and reckon Robins was happy enough to see him go

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If I was being pedantic id say that you need to start those figures from H2 2010 or 2011 earliest when the Tories/coalition came to power and had the chance to impact data. There was a big drop in real earnings following the financial crisis which was under the Labour government, albeit this...

    Transfer Rumour Matty James

    I’d imagine it’s more likely lower base salary with upside for appearances rather than solely PAYP. Would be more justifiable if James hadn’t played 40 games last year ! (Unless he’s got an injury issue we’re aware of) Let’s all not get too wound up on rumours though. I doubt anyone knows the...

    Transfer Rumour Matty James

    We also all know we made several attempts to sign a CM, by all accounts had a loan lined up who got injured before window shut and also turned down offers for sheaf. It’s not like we haven’t been trying to strengthen this area. Some appear oblivious to this though

    Transfer Rumour Matty James

    I’s be happy with the signing and hope it happens. The point was that everything else appears to be forgotten by some fans unless we manage to get James in. Just all feels OTT
