I fucked up a little bit by going to live in America, and so not buying until my late 20s. Missed out on a period of fairly chunky little period of house price inflation, if my mates' experiences is anything to go by. 

 

But do I get an article in the Telegraph?! Do I FUCK. 

 

I remember that, you coming back from San Francisco and looking at house prices and thinking what the fuck?

 

I fucked up with my usual lack of confidence. Instead of buying the most expensive house I could afford initially, and probably still living there and being nearly mortgage free by now, I've moved house four fucking times. Waste of time, money and a lot of stress. Still, will be paid up in 10 years when I hope to retire.

The News Agents, who like all the other political journalists, spent the run up to the election forensically querying whether Reeves had just given away that she was about to put taxes up, and trying to gotcha her and Starmer into saying they'd put this or that tax up, and whether that might be enough to cost Labour their majority. 

 

Well on yesterday's episode they're questioning Reeves on why she couldn't just be a bit more honest about taxes going up during the election campaign. 

 

Political journalists in this country need a fucking hard reset.

Maitlis: "you've chosen to increase Employer's national insurance contributions. Leaving aside what that does to your conscience... "

 

".. WHY would you DO THAT?!"

Anyone see this point that the IFS have criticised the budget for not being realistic about spending? Apparently they think we're going to end up spending far more than the budget suggests we will, and have consequently accused Labour of 'playing the same stupid games' as the Tories. Still no truth in the room I guess, not that I don't understand why they're doing it.

If it makes you feel any better you'd have lost the house in the divorce anyway.
