I know mortgage rates are daft, but £800pcm to £2000pcm can't be right, surely? 

It could be if he’d fixed at a very low rate previously I reckon.

Or if he's on an interest-only deal for some reason

I think (don’t quote me on this) that for your ‘second home’, ie the London one, you can claim the interest you pay as expenses. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’d had some masterplan where his constituency home was interest only to reduce the amount of outgoings or sone such. That said I’m not even a so-called accountant.

I always thought wigs were supposed to hide the fact that you're bald rather than draw attention to it.

I mean, she bangs on about sovereignty, and says what a success the Windsor framework is. Putting a border through our country, that kind of sovreignty? Thick as whale spunk.

She also mention the CPTPP. This is forecast, by the government, in the long run (several decades), to boost our economy by.... drum roll.....

0.04% of GDP

 

It's unbearable these charlatans are clinging on to power.

Another reason to bring in assisted dying.

We wouldn't be in this mess if they'd just let Shipman carry on, he was offering assisted (and surprising) dying to pensioners before it was cool.

 

On another note, it's good to see the Lib Dems are pretty consistently shit across the board :lol: .. No doubt they'll win a decent chunk of the more centrist tory voters come GL.

Aye. At this point I think it’s more damaging to them if they keep lying about it

Yeah. Sounds bollocks.

 

i’m currently in 1.29% (and paying more than £800) and it it would only go up ~£400 pcm if it ran out tomorrow.

The Newsagents and Alex from OGWN think another tory leadership bid is probable before the GE. I really hope so. It's not Sunak that's unpopular, weasley cunt that he is, it's more the party itself. They try to put another PM in - and I can't think of a single good choice - then I just don't think the electorate would accept that and all I can see is complete annihilation for them.

Could they be hoping for a Trumpish bounce by bringing Boris back? Because I think our thickos are slightly less thick than the yank thickos so I don't think it'll work.

I wonder how this would compare with say 20 years ago?

Traditionally people have always drifted to the right as they have acquired capital and sought to protect it. But now, millenial generations onwards, people are taxed so much more and have difficulty getting on the property ladder etc, so this movement just isn't happening any more. Factor in what a complete disaster the tories have been for business and why would anyone of working age vote for them? 

I don't really get why the over 70s are so far right either. Yes, they have wealth which they wrongly perceive the tories will protect, but they are also major users of the NHS and social care which are in tatters. Otoh, they've done well out of state pensions and for some reason they are all massive racists (my mum included unfortunately).

It's the only thing which would make sense but he'd need to win a seat first. He still wouldn't win a GE and I couldn't think of a worse choice for leader of the opposition - for him financially too - so it's a non-starter imo.

How would Johnson juggle being PM with his army job?

The same way he juggled Brexit and COVID. Spectacularly poorly.

Canada has been taking the Shipman approach and running... Google 'canada leading euthanasia', it's not a conspiracy.

Obviously you said it as a joke - but the horrible reality is that death is being reccomended to the elderly in favor of simple medical procedures.

You see, I found that an interesting article - so thanks for that - but your interpretation of it, "being reccomended to the elderly in favor of simple medical procedures" was not representative of what was written in it at all. That's before we even mention the crassness of comparing voluntary euthanasia with a psychopathic mass murderer. That's the problem with you conspiracy nuts, you are completely incapable of objective thought, and because of this, you are easily manipulated. Ironically, you really are the sheeple.
