The road to net zero will save money long term. Have a look at the government produced book The Sixth Carbon Budget to see how it can be achieved by 2050. The UK currently spends £42m a week on tax breaks to oil and gas industry. We should be instead investing in on-shore wind (one of the cheapest form of producing electricity) and energy efficient new build houses amongst other things.

The poorest people are being hit hardest by not tackling climate change and environmental destruction right now. That's one of the main reasons for mass migration.
Interesting report from Lord Ashcroft (a Tory) today. Khan is currently beating Hill 50% to 22% in London. If Corbyn intervenes it declines to 41% to 22%. But the astonishing fact given some of the views on here is that most Londoners consider Khan to be a nice guy!

Tax burden rising, we have pay COVID/ Ukraine sometime. Immigration soaring someone tell me how Labour would fix the problem? Happening all over Europe that is why right wing politicians are getting a foothold in government. The road to net zero will cost a fortune obviously hitting the poor the utmost. Mean while China, USA, India, Russia will still be using carbon fuels and able to manufacture goods far cheaper than Europe. Not looking good.

The Financial Times headline this morning: "Tax burden surges despite Hunt cuts"

Fiscal drag.
Silk your first point particular is very true. But that concept died off years ago. Probably around the time that the utter lie of "this is a no blame culture" started being used. The days of people holding their hand up to a mistake and correcting it are long gone. I mean look what happens if a politician corrects a mistake - all they get is shouted at as weak and making U turns. Usually by the same people who wanted them to do it in the first place.

Ultimately most "successful" politicians are somewhere between low level con artists and major league cunts.
If you cannot accept your failures or hear them from others then you will never be able to fix them. The biggest problem with politics is people would rather point at the other party rather than point at theirs.

The fact that Labour could be dreadful if they get in does not change the fact that the Tories have been dreadful during their turn in power. It is telling how people have to denigrate a party rather say how another will be a force for the good.
Could be lurks! World is changing and we’re a multinational nation.

A vote for Labour will be a vote for the anti-motorist. Party, Just look at them balmy nutters in Wales.and the nutcase Labour london boroughs that have blocked side rds and pushed all the traffic onto major traffic jam main rds.

TF from memory things always are globally influenced it's just people who are into politics always want to ignore anything that doesn't involve slagging off people who vote differently to them. Maybe that's British values?

Whatever about British values (I've no idea what they are). I've got to say it's not a good look for supposedly grown adults, who claim to want the best for ordinary people, to be dancing round the place celebrating any failure they can possibly tag as being attached to a policy they didn't vote for. (Leaving aside that a lot of the things aren't). That's some level of childish bitterness and spite to actually want ordinary people to suffer so you can do the whole "I told you so" thing. Not a very caring look.

I loved leddy’s blinkers-on post yesterday about one tax being reduced and another being neither reduced nor raised. “Give with one hand and take with the other” 😁

No point arguing with people who only see what they want to see to suit their view. I think whoever governs the country over the next decade will experience more and more difficulty in controlling factors that are globally influenced.
To be fair the Tories are still blaming the current economic problems on the previous Labour administration so they will be just like the Tories in that respect.

Just seen a headline that the net migration figure to the UK for 2022 has been revised upwards to 745,000. I though as a self governing country free of the shackles of EU red tape we could reduce immigration to the 'tens of thousands' as promised in the Conservative manifesto. What's gone wrong?

Fair enough Scotty, if that site is wrong and the attendance was about the same then it's not looking good for events and conferencing... and I agree that it would be nice to see it unbundled.

RE inflation, item prices should go up but I can imagine it might have been offset by people buying fewer items (even if for unrelated reasons, like unreasonably huge energy bills meaning less spare cash). Profit margin per item depends on whether we passed on all wholesale price rises to consumer or not - could go either way.
Saveloy. Not sure those numbers are particularly accurate. They seem to have forgotten eight of our matches from last season (perhaps not a bad thing if they were in the New Year!) I thought our actual attendances (League) were pretty close to those in League 1 the year before; double figure difference per match? As you say, the numbers are bundled, but firstly our food/drink shouldn't be going down. In fact with inflation shouldn't they go up even if profit drops? Will be interesting if the PLC decides to share if asked at the meeting. Considering the £10M plus stumped up by fans it would be nice to get a little transparency on the income from the West Stand and Broncos. Not keen on a £1M Third Floor refit if we have little idea how the second floor is doing.

The problem with the conference line item is it also includes food and beverages so it's pretty hard to ascertain what's going well and what's not. According to [Link] we had nearly 50k more spectators in the previous season so assuming average person spends £5 you can explain half the shortfall between the two years on drinks alone.

Maye £5 assumption is too much - but you get my point: Bundled accounts make it harder to understand what's happening.
