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

The majority of gilts are issued over a longer term. Its quite difficult to work out with the BOE QE sales back into the market at the same time.

if your giving a handout the states costs are fixed. If you are fixing the price then the cost to the state is really unlimited, I can't see Truss doing the later. All theoretical though as mentioned, Labour wont be in power between October and March.

unless Truss calls a snap early election because she gets a bounce in the polls and she knows it might not last...

Weren’t people complaining last week Labour didn’t have any policies for the cost of living? Now they can be ignored because they won’t be in power anyway. Funny.

Maybe they are different people?

Probably but it’s funny either way.

It doesn’t matter because at least now people can’t complain Labour don’t have a policy for it. They do and it’s a very good one.

Well the good thing is people can now see the predicted sums involved (the equivalent of another entire covid furlough scheme over a year) and that's if prices don't go up any higher from here. So hopefully it shuts up the "simply nationalise it" or "tax the energy companies" crowd.

Thankfully the majority of the electorate are not middle class autistic university students with an unhealthy obsession with anime trans she-cats.

      2026 line-up speculation

      By SweepingTheNation · Posted

      People seem to have got obsessed about 'secret sets' at all festivals this year even when there aren't any spaces other than, in EOTR's case, the usual late Folly sets that 90%+ of the time are from artists who are already playing. And if it is someone else, I'm sure it won't be a band who played the festival last year.

      To be fair @Superscally barely mentions the running thing. Very quiet about it 😘

      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.
