Their only positive legacy is free school meals for KS1 children - which the Tories have already proposed abolishing.
Sadly, Cleggy got carried away by his position (and what he thought was power) and abandoned his principles, policies and party.

Talk that Grealish is out. I'd take him, personally.
-
Pre-Man City Grealish would have given us something different. Three years under Pep has smoothed out the unpredictability, he wouldn't start and wouldn't be much of a change up option off the bench.
-
You don't think someone who could hold the ball without having to run past people, and is exceptional at drawing fouls, would offer something different?
-
Acknowledging this is the wrong thread (unless GE 2024 stands for General Euro-chat 2024), what unpredictability? He got the ball, ran at a defender and fell to the ground, screaming for a free-kick. Hardly unpredictable.
Winning free-kicks would fit Gareth's reliance on set-pieces, but without Maguire to throw his head at them, there's no point - we'll just have to rely on Kane diving to win penalties instead.
(I would take him too though - I actually think Grealish is a much better all-round player under Pep, as he has cut out a lot of the diving and theatrics and learnt to keep possession, something crucial at international level, but which few English players (outside of Pep's City team) have mastered). -
Is this Sunak or Starmer?
-
Who do you take out?
-
Sunak is clearly the little runt kid, who's extensive exposure to solo FIFA makes him think that he's a playa. Reluctantly deployed at right back, all his teamates hope he gets injured because he's hopeless at the position. They're sure that they'd be better off without him, but his father in law supplies the balls. Starmer is a centre half, because he can't really play. Although no good in the air, he is at least prepared to put himself in harms way and win the occasional challenge. Having done so he will hopefully give the ball to someone with real game.
-
I wouldn't have taken Konsa and Shaw, and would have taken Grealish and Braithwaite..... but then I'd be playing a different system and setup to the actual manager.
-
I’d be taking Grealish instead of Bowen, who strikes me for England as offering nothing unique, and looking almost like a good player but without much to show for it.
-
Bowen can play down the middle at a push, which could have given him the edge, If we hadn't also selected 3 ST for one slot.
I would also have taken Grealish, he's very good at coming on late and slowing the game down, drawing fouls etc. -
The LibDems were the reason the personal allowance for income tax was materially raised to lessen to ludicrous system of taxing people on income levels half the minimum wage and then making them navigate the Byzantine welfare system to get it given back to them.
A relatively small step in improving the absolute shitshow that is the tax and welfare system, but one of the few genuinely useful ones that I can recall in decades of government ‘reform’.
-
Rishi nipping off before the end of the D-Day commemorations to get interviewed by ITV seems to have gone down well. And seems like I was wrong about the £2k tax increase and the message that's landed is that the Tories are a bunch of lying liars.
When people have made their minds up, they've made their minds up and the Johnson parties and Truss budget have done for them.
-
When all you’ve really got left is trying to appeal to some nationalistic gammons, leaving a D Day event early is about the worst thing you could do.
It’s been obvious to anyone paying attention that Sunaks political instinct is really poor, but you’d have thought with all the money they have that they would have an advisor who would step in to stop such poor moves.
-
Is that based on a poll or something? I'm curious as I'm not sure I agree.
-
Just based on that being the line that ITV took and the associated headlines. I am slightly wary that it just may appear that way to me as a result of being in my particular bubble.
More confident about the D-Day thing as he's being attacked on that by the mail, sun and telegraph. I wonder how long it'll be before they "reluctantly" "reveal" one of his kids was "ill", actually.
