    It’s centre left, used to be firmly centre when it was the independent. It’s an old fashioned moderate read with tories contributing but it definitely has a more social democratic outlook. Not “left wing”

    Although Pompey has gone a bit far with the ban all dogs haha I do have sympathy and my views are shaped in same way. I was playing football as a kid and attacked by an Alsatian. But in this day and age any criticism of dogs is like racism. There is this level of anxiety that kicks in you...

    But that would just put costs onto businesses selling online. Amazon is fundamentally a market place. The likelihood of something like that is higher impacts on smaller businesses with tighter margins.

    This is definitely the area that should be targeted. The triple lock maybe had some value when it was introduced to take many more pensioners out of poverty. I would definitely remove it and they could actually increase things like winter fuel for poorest to offset. This would be a brilliant...

    The calibre of politician in the bay is poor and there’s no revising chamber. The Lords for all its faults is tremendous in improving legislation. Obviously I hope the increase in members will help in this sense but my guess is more dilution and second rate even third rate politicians

    The Chagos deal is the sort of thing that drives me nuts from the standpoint of sensible rational debate which in the past could happen. When I saw the headlines I was a bit perplexed by the numbers. But it was something that had started with previous Gov and signed off by this one. It’s a...

    Nah I disagree there’s an economic theory relating to “nudging” behaviour if you make something more desirable then the idea is people will move. You can share between a cash and stocks isa. This might mean that the balance shifts a little more towards stocks isas but still retaining eg 15k in...

    Yes I’m talking about the inflationary risk attached to savings rather than investments that tend to outperform considerably if they’re left alone. Personally I’d rather invest than save. I do have savings of course but that’s more for liquidity and easy access. I respect the different...

    It’s riskier to leave money in savings than investments over long term. Of course there is “risk” but overwhelmingly with patience the market outperforms leaving it in a bank with low interest rates. Just a simple tracker can provide decent returns.

    And this idea that the Chancellor should know every fine detail of every financial matter. Come on give your head a wobble.

    The thing is it’s not a right or left wing thing. It’s a question of fairness. Before his populist age there was more of a sense of fair play. But the tribalism now is off the charts. Brexit, Johnson, trump etc etc its all skewed

    Such a non story. I mean it’s 900 quid she’s the chancellor do people honestly in all sincerity think she’d risk her career over that. I’m no Labour supporter in a classic sense even though I voted for them. But my word i can see they’re getting a raw deal with the press. Wealth is definitely...

    I do have sympathy for this opinion actually. They are not helpful to their cause. Both those politicians are divisive.

    Dr Poo

    What ill never get about something like Dr Who is how people get so worked up about it being woke etc. It’s a literally a tv programme. From the little ive seen it’s a load of shit imo. But my response that is… not to watch it. Some people like it. Good. Enjoy.
