If you didn't believe Starmer and co would ditch their principles and bow to racists to win a few votes back, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Current costs for asylum seeker accommodation is £2 per UK person per month.

The tax gap, including tax evasion, withholding of payments, fraud etc, costs £56 per UK person per month.

Greens assets tax proposals bring an equivalent of £18-£30 per person per month.

Priorities.

Surprising from her.

She seems mad keen on kicking people out.

"Our country is divided, so I'm going to divide it further."

"I can't be racist against immigrants, my parents are immigrants."

"I'm going to tackle the biggest issue making our communities worse off... Wealth hoarders?... No, no, no, small boat crossings."

She woke up this morning and said "I'm going to be evil today". An actual person did that.

I think the reason it doesn't happen is that the 6 Nations was set up as a company at some point, and each of the nations owns an equal share in it.
It's how they vote to allow new nations in, like France all those years ago (twice) and Italy from 2000.
I don't like it, but that's the reason I think

Yeh Japan had so many chances. We were lucky.
But then again, if they deserve to be in the top 12, they need to be taking those chances and not squandering them.

I argued exactly this point when Italy hadn't won a game in 15 years or something.
Would be a bit on the nose to kick Wales out now when Italy were so poor for so long and got away with it.
But I'd feel hypocritical not standing by my principles. Oh well.

Not really getting my point are you, but that's standard for SM these days.

I've called for relegation and promotion in the 6 nations for years. Still stand by it. But, I don't make the rules.

IoM comment, reductio ad absurdum employed clumsily.

If you hadn't won at Twickenham for 2 years, you'd celebrate beating Namibia.

How long does an idea need to be out there for its reversal to be considered a U-turn?

And they'll be denying another U-turn soon when they row back on weaponising fiscal drag, a guaranteed election loser.

In this demographic, many in 2024 lent their vote to Labour to crush Tories and stop Reform.

Now they're being punished for it.
If Labour bring this in they'll plummet in the polls, and Starmer and Reeves will have to go if they are going to avoid one of the biggest losses in history.
