    It isnt cutting services, it is making it paid for by those who can afford to do so, and thus freeing up more money for those who cant. Means testing brings equity in a way taxes dont.

    I think when we are paying more to service debt than similar countries to ourselves it is right to take heed of the markets. It costs us huge sums of money to service our debt. Money that if we can save we can do better for people.

    Who pushed the idea of university education as being right for at least 50% of young people when there was no infrastructure or job market for it. I will give you a clue, it wasnt the conservatives, lib dems or greens. Easy games these.

    You dont half make a lot of assumptions about people. I never mentioned a year. I dont read the mail or gb news. But now you bring it up they have had all the power needed with their majority to make a start on measures to correct the mess. They have wasted that time, and indeed done things...

    Sounds like you know plenty. We have put so much of our education strategy into getting as many kids into universities as possible. It is a crazy plan still being peddled all these years later. Meanwhile universities are going bust. We need to redress the balance and value trades again. Not...

    What have the tories got to do with it ffs. I would bet most of the 170k lost are down to the NI rise for employers. Ooh, I know, lets raise some money by taxing payroll costs for companies. Wait, what, companies are laying staff off as a result. Ah ****, didnt see that coming.

    Of the 170,000 jobs lost in the UK since last June 46% are for young people under the age of 25. That is terrifying and incredibly sad. We are storing up huge problems for our kids and grandkids. If this is really to be a fairer budget as claimed then it has to put the younger generations at...

    It is ridiculous mate. Our youth production lines just get stronger and stronger. Every age group stacked at the minute.

    I honestly think Starmer is showing signs of panic. The whole Streeting thing this week leads to any amount of questions. If he is still in charge in a year I suspect it will because the MPs have given up. Unless he wakes up and makes some huge decisions. This budget is a massive moment imo...

    Undoubtedly. Nobody will make the necessary decisions because it puts them in jeopardy personally. Until we find an honest political party we are doomed to having any sort of control taken away.

    My own opinion is the furore around Starmers position as leader has caused this change of plan. I believe strongly she was laying the ground for income tax rises. Then Starmer in the firing line and he needs to calm his back benches. The problem is it makes the government look clueless. It...

    What do you think Reeves was trying to achieve with her very uncommon briefing?

    I was there mate. It was unreal. So was he. He was the epitome of natural talent.

    That supposed early morning speech at Downing street was laying the ground for something. Or maybe she just wanted to get the journalists up early.

    Some talent in that side. Future is so bright for England. If I were Tuchel I would want his job for 10 years.

    It sort of feels like we need one of those players that is a figure of fun. Doesnt feel right not to have one player to argue over being ****e in the pub.

    Clearly we have an excellent side. If you could add one ex Sunderland player, from your time watching the lads, to add to the side and make a difference, who would it be? I settled on Bent. I know it was short lived but he was borderline the perfect premier league striker. And he thrived...

    Some firepower here Serbia have fronted up at last this tournament. But the test is still limited.
