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.

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"

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.

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.

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” 😁

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.

Lucky guy to get out of this [Link]

Wait till labour get in,everything will still be the previous government's fault😂

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?

Spit this is the way. COYDs

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.

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.

“Why do you hate your country so much!!?” 😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️

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.

Holland to leave the EU next?

Tempted to get a half year ST,only doubt is our last 2 seasons 2nd half of season form.

A4e yep those that love their country and wanted to be self governing.

How many surveys will be required to test the temperature of members for changing lightbulbs?

“Less intelligent were more likely to back Brexit” - what a load of nonsense 🤪🤡🤷🏻‍♂️ Next thing you know, they’ll be saying the racists voted Leave as well!! 😤
