    What are we going to do about the lying fascists funded by malign foreign actors to destabilise our country?

    Economic growth
    Growing debt
    High taxation
    Cost of living
    Defence spending
    And trains of course!

    Off the top of my head.

    What issues did he solve, I saw the triple lock becomes a double lock (and isn't it inflation that has been the upward driver of pensions value which remains in the lock) and something vague about not paying for care homes at time of use?

    No. Pensions were linked to inflation before the triple lock. The figures I’ve seen referenced are that, under the proposed approach, pensions would have been 11% lower today. In the 16 years since the triple lock was introduced, earning have been used 6 times (and they ignored them as the criteria in 2022 because the number would have been too high).

    I believe that he said, and I paraphrase, that it was a completely fucking brain dead thing to have done that has brought only bad.

    He’s going to renegotiate a much better deal. Of course.

    Indeed, intrigued by what our negotiating position is based on. Saying please and pretty please a lot maybe

    Tbf, our best approach so far.
    Certainly beats Davies and “we hold all the cards” and Boris's “they’ll come begging to us”.
