  1. A lot of the songs that would have been replaced would simply have been released a week later, thereby still being the Christmas number one.
  2. When a party can win a massive majority with one-third of the vote, that argument makes no sense.
  3. Glenn Frey - The Heat Is On Philip Bailey and Phil Collins - Easy Lover
  4. After Amy Winehouse's great cover of Zutons' Valerie, the band finally return the compliment with a great version of back To Black gewFGlZ5_Rs

  6. The Tories had given the impression that they supported paying compensation to Waspi women. They said nothing about how they would pay for it. I would love to see Labour supporting PR. Their members support it, but the leadership is less enthusiastic when they can get a hefty majority with one-third of the vote. Yes, Farage's fascists would potentially get a larger presence is parliament. However, it is arguable that Farage gained popularity because his extreme views wee not represented in parliament due to FPTP. If they had been represented, their views on a range of subjects could have been exposed as extremist nonsense.

  9. No, you're missing the point. How were the Tories proposing to pay for it?
  10. What promise? There was nothing in the manifesto. Almost all of the promise to pay compensation date from before Covid. Since then, the public finances have been far worse. The Tories suggested that they would pay compensation when in power, but made no provision to finance it. They did the same with the victims of the NHS blood scandal. In both cases, they left it for Labour to find the money to pay for it. Victims of the NHS blood scandal were entirely blameless. They accepted donated blood in good faith. It is not their fault that many of them have died while others are living with life-altering conditions. OTOH, as others have already said, changes to the pension age were widely reported at the time. When I started work, my state retirement age was 65. It is now 66 1/2. I never received a letter telling me this, but I am not demanding compensation. There are stories of women leaving their jobs at 58 expecting that they would be able to claim a state pension two years later. Did they really not notice other women of a similar age working beyond 60? The same papers now hammering Labour for not paying compensation are the same papers that also criticise governments for treating people like idiots by spending large sums of public money telling people what they should already know.

  15. I assume she eats her steak raw. Very true!
  16. Unfortunately, news organisations rarely report anything from PMQs apart from the PM/LotO part. The largest third party in the Commons for over a century are rarely mentioned and are only on the main politics shows about once a month.

    Georgescu was trailing badly in all the polls. Polls can, of course, be wrong, but the result obviously raises suspicions. Furthermore, he declared campaign expenses of precisely zero, yet there are allegations that TikTok posts supporting were promoted after someone paid for that to happen.

    There are so many ties that would have been obvious television choices if the home and away sides had been reversed.

  25. Trump's nomination to head the FBI is an all-out believer in the idea that the 2020 election was rigged. He has promised to "bring to justice" those who were involved in the non-existent fraud.
