I don’t understand the opposition to a coalition government. The last time we had anything near to resembling a functioning government it was a coalition. Regardless of what you thought about the politics the one thing that they did do was get on with the business of Government without the...

Where are you getting postal voting is not allowed in Northern Ireland from?

Then the current PM made sure it effected the UK by lobbying for the RBS to takeover a distressed bank which bought down RBS. Still, he earned a few million out of it so every cloud… The hard truth is Sunak did more to crash the UK economy than Labour did in 2008. The criticism that should be...

Average mortgage payment in the UK is about £680 a month (£8160 a year), average rent is about £980 a month (£11760 a year).

In 2017 maybe. By 2019 he’d lost the room.

It’s a fair point but I refer you to every government in my living memory. This isn’t a disease of the Labour Party.

In the interest of balance the Tories have a £71B black hole in theirs. God knows how big Reforms is as they’re promising the second biggest spend after the Greens but unlike the Greens who are proposing big tax reforms to pay for it whereas Reform is promising tax cuts. Fact is Labour’s...

There is the flip side to that. He’s getting in by promising very little. If he changes his mind chances are it will be positive given how negative the manifesto is.

Isn’t he referring to extinction rebellion there when they superglue themselves to the road? He defended the Greenpiece activists under freedom of speech laws regarding leaflets they were handing out regarding the practices of McDonalds. Not sure it’s the same thing. Either way the point...

I was reminded recently that Starmer represented 2 green piece activists pro bono in what was apparently known as the longest libel case in British history (some 10 years) against McDonalds. Quite a famous case known as McLibel. Sorry but if you think someone who would do that is anything like...

Just read about this. Cheesey but Sunchyme is me and the wife’s song. When we first started dating we couldn’t go out without hearing it as it was massive at the time so it kind of became our song. Coincidentally it’s our wedding anniversary today.

I was quoting this article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmjjy17284vo.amp Either way the point still stands the more you bring renewables on line while phasing out nuclear and fossil bills should come down.

Labour have never claimed to save you £1400 on your electricity bill with green energy. They have claimed that they will save you £300 though by decarbonising electricity generation. It’s not even that controversial if you look at the cost of producing electricity by each means. Renewables are...

Such as?

As a rough rule of thumb those most concerned with immigration also tend to delve into climate change denial. See any reform party spokesperson as an example. So you’re talking about a scenario that they don’t believe in. To them it’s just all project fear, we’ve had enough of experts etc.

Finally the polls narrow. Not how Sunak was banking on but they have narrowed.

Just read that the overnight data on NHS waiting lists has gone up again after Sunak was bragging last night they were coming down. Can’t believe he wasn’t aware of the latest statistics last night before he claimed that they were coming down. Also don’t buy for a minute that he hasn’t seen Ed...

Not the worst but still lacks creativity of major and fairer tax reforms like the Greens. And they’re needed to implement real change. I’ll still lend them my vote, I just wish greens had a better chance of winning my seat, or alternatively labour had no chance at all so I didn’t have to choose...

You may be right on regulations but Hinckley is an existing nuclear site so I don’t think nimbyism was too much of a problem. You’re 100% right that we’re shit at large infrastructure especially high speed rail though. Japan can build high speed rail far cheaper than us even when the majority...

And even if we built at the SK costs price per Mwh it’s still more than renewable's in the UK. SK produces nuclear at about £22 per Mwh, renewables in the UK produces at between £10-20 per Mwh depending on the type of renewable. Hinckley Point C is going to produce at about £128 per Mwh. The...
