Don't post on here often, but read it every day. Can't sit by and watch @Ozanne getting picked on for doing little other than make a polite 'point of order' request without my saying something. F

Obviously horrible news. But I think pointing the finger at Rayner is not only unfair to her, but also serves to help silence critics of the Tories. Don't forget that over the years, BJ's words h

She is basically saying whats the point in discussing a two state solution with people who are hell bent on a one state solution not involving Isreal.

She should of said Hamas though rather than palestinas. 

who wants a state next door throwing bombs over the border.

 

its the same the other way Palestinians don't want to accept 'the catastrophe'.(which they'd be doing by accepting a two state solution).

You have to pretend its all easily fixed just by asking for a ceasefire. 

even abolishing Israel wouldn't fix the problems, there's then the problem of where the Israeli's go.

Interest rates expected to be lowered.   Big win for Sunak.  Expected to drop to 4.25 by end of next year.

I think two year deal is the best bet right now.  I am very lucky I am on 1.6% until mid 2016 so I am hopeful I will ride out the worse of all this.  Went for a five year fix just at the right time.

i've let the wife sort the new mortgage details; looks like she been making all the right decisions.

Russia definitely seems to have the upper hand against Ukraine now. Looks like Zelensky can't rely on US for support anymore, and if Trump wins next year that will definitely be it, and EU support and a way into EU for Ukraine is being held back by Orban. Meanwhile Russia's economy has held up well as it now looks away from Europe for trade, and an all out victory for Russia next year is looking more possible. What comes after that who knows...

Not another one!

It’ll be a big test for Sunak in the red wall. Not a big majority either. It’s yet another Tory being involved in some sort of scandal.

Looks like they’ve stayed the same for now.

It’s understandable for people to be concerned over their finances especially when the BoE didn’t have to put rates up and everything else is going up in price so much as well.

      I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either

      2027 Headliners

      By smiffy98 · Posted

      I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
