Geezer doesn’t get recognised in his own house and they’re saying there’s a 4% chance of him being the next leader of the country.

Tom Tugendhat always tried the military recognition / knowledge never ever done him any favours. Maybe a few patriots or ex military might vote for him, but they've already sworn their hearts on Farage.

It's that too - we bought the place in 2006 - mortgage 25 years... but the property was a two bedroom bungalow in a state of disrepair - its now a 3 bedroom (our ensuite) with extensions on the side for ours and one of the girls bedrooms, and a kitchen extended outwards (back) new bathroom and a utility room ... completely rewired and plumbed and with a whole new roof ... we moved in summer of 2007 (planning permission was a bastard) ...

... but now we've been here for 20 years and property prices in this part of Hertfordshire have gone ballistic...

So to answer your question - could sell and move... and retire ... but if the youngest decides to do her masters, will likely keep it going...

Been grafting since 1977, when I was lumping bags of cement about, and slinging rubble in a skip. About ready for a ****ing rest tbh.

Yeah I started work in 1977, although actually left school at 15, never realised you couldn't go full time until 16, but it just meant I had to wait for a few months and a company took me straight on. H&S was non existent in 77. Loved those days, only worries in the world was paying for my motorbike and going down the pub...not to forget match days - then that thing called responsibility came along.

There aint no one to replace him anyway. Markets were up, interest rates nearly went down but the vote just about kept them the same, why risk anything now to stroke people's ego's that are looking for a bit of power, am I interested in Rayner, Streeting or Burnham, not one ****ing bit - just let Starmer carry on with the job he started.

Personally I think the government have got all this pension age increase wrong, and I said at the time they are shooting themselves in the foot, and we are seeing the consequences of that now. Hence lower labour force and people living off their savings and investments, especially women, sticking two fingers up to the thieving politicians.

This will also have a knock on affect to the NHS and GP's for those that keep working, again we've seen the impact on hospitals and cost. I don't give a **** what anyone says, even if people are living until 80, don't mean they will be any fitter or more so healthier, me being a prime example, I must have cost the NHS a fortune, we have no control over fate and actual reality.

But it's ok because the government said we are living longer and that matters more than commonsense so **** them. Oh and don't forget in people's alternative plans mean they are paying less working tax, so a double whammy for ****ing people off. It's just become a toy for the politicians to play with, instead of being set in stone as a goal to work and aim for, all incentive removed.

It's ok for politicians to tell you to keep working while they put their feet up in the Lords, bunch of ****s.

Indeed. We also have a falling birth rate, which is common to most wealthy nations. So with an aging population and less young people to do the jobs that are needed, the only way out of this is to encourage immigration. But don't tell @Sucky

I don't think he'll go.

As much as people like Badenoch and Reform are bleating about Labour being out of control. There's no real public appetite for Starmer to go.

He's dispensed with the bloke who advised him to appoint Mandleson, and when you cut through the political noise and wailing, it's the right decision.

Trouble is you got people like Ed Miliband's old advisor Sonia or whatever her name stroking the medias **** stirring. All these ****ers don't care about us, it;s all about their own personal egos and airtime.
