Versus what... the BBC government propaganda unit? BBC Verify is here to tell you what we want you to think. Obey, plebs. I don't use Twitter at all actually.

That is actually a really good idea. Perhaps not the best idea to suggest it here though, that's the equivalent of suggesting going tee-total in Wetherspoons.

It would be an option that a near bankrupt failing nation such as us could actually afford. There's no money. We're borrowing daily just to keep the lights on. We're not a superpower and not the world police. Leave the rich nations to sort it out.

Concrete won't make sense if you're selling. You probably would need to move the pipes, it's going to cost lots more. I'd recommend 22mm boards instead of 18mm, they cost a little more but are vastly less flexible. Providing it won't create a lip where old meets new. Glue the heck out of the...

If the joint is leaking, it may be because one half or the other has moved. Is the gap now tapered? Or is it wider at one side than at the other? If so then it probably needs removing and re-seating, on concrete with a new seal. Or in reality just replacing. If you bung it up with anything...

About five rabid frothing lefties actually care. The rest are more concerned about what's on telly, the weather or whatever's going on in their lives. Reform are still polling at No1 by a long shot. Labour are currently peaking at a massive 20% (LOL), due to the expected brilliance of the...

The EU should be paying us for all the weapons we're sending to Ukraine to defend their borders.

It's a problem that's very easy to fix...

Love the GB News livery... I suspect this will get revised. Probably including red roses, hammers and sickles.

...or the one above, with about 20 selective quotes and retaliatory waffle. Often these arguments get about 10 sidetracks away from the original subject, so most don't know what the argument is about anyway, probably including those doing the arguing. Tedious.

No. Blow on useless crap and corruption, as normal. People spend money much more efficiently than government.

I've just discovered this brilliant forum feature. Click on a username, then click Ignore. Works a treat. All posts vanish, all quoted posts blanked... Highly recommended! Less time wasted skimming past endless waffle about nothing, false facts and demands for proof that the sky is blue.

From what I've read, they've jumped on the "Land Tax" bandwagon but what they're proposing isn't actually a land tax at all. It's just standard Labour party lies and spin - don't ever believe a word they say. With true Land Tax, people in high rise flats would pay next to nothing, while a...

It's money for nothing, why would anyone turn it down voluntarily? I doubt he'll regularly turn up, he'll just keep collecting the money to stack up with his lifetime PM pension and all the rest.

They were presented as expense payments, so wouldn't have been taxed as income. But we don't know whether he actually bought anything. Also clothes aren't an allowable expense, unless your job requires special clothing, e.g. fireproof overalls for a welder. A suit to be a politician is not an...

...and never had any intention of doing. It was a vague soundbite that actually promised nothing, calculated bluff. Burnham will be even worse. He's expressed concern about gimmegrants previously - he was worried that their accommodation isn't good enough and should be improved. They're both...

You'd be less embarassing to yourself if you actually followed the news and/or parliament before making stupid statements in which you sound certain while being completely wrong. Starmer is being regularly criticised by the speaker, in very blunt terms recently. Try using google if you don't...

I mean we're exporting the pollution. We're importing the goods from them, which they make in their largely coal-powered factories. Incidentally while using all kinds of anti-human practices too, e.g. slavery, child labour. Plus we then have to drag all these goods across the world using...

I don't think anyone has ever seen the receipts for the specs and suits. It was just a lump of money, the supposed purposes were just excuses. I doubt any tax was paid on this income either.

Rounded up, from 3p to the next £100 billion.
