Don't threaten us with a good time etc.

One house + another house= Two houses. Do we know what her point is?

I believe it's referring to the second home tax.

It is, and it's a classic, I'm told. "Someone gave me a free house and I have to pay tax on it".

Quite a few people would take that deal.

Rag.

It's a trap:
"More than 1 in 8 of people in the UK were born overseas, you know"
"See, I told you there were too many foreigners!"

I had a flexi early knock off Friday working in a factory nearly 40 years while the woke regime of Margaret Thatcher was in power.

Newspaper offices being hives of industry well into the night on a Friday., of course.

Egg-head Matthew Syed here. The "great historical figure would have definitely agreed with me" trope is laughable at the best of times, but especially here. How were borders controlled when these people lived? And anyway, who exactly says respecting laws and borders is incompatible? And that's before we get to the last sentence.

And he regularly shows up on Sky News' paperswank to spout utter bollocks.

Another individual who makes me rapidly reach for the 'off' button on my radio.

Look a bit old to go to school that lot.

Country at breaking point, apparently. A crisis of... mild political embarrassment from having to raise taxes.

What a load of bollocks.

We really need Leveson 2.

The "egghead" has spoken. I can't be arsed to read but what's the common sense here?

Ha ha, I thought this was the Guardian, I stand corrected. Buy yeah, it was bollocks.

The Department of Culture is still around. The idea that they'd abolish it just to get rid of Nandy, rather than just sacking her (like they did Ian Murray and Lucy Powell), was pretty ridiculous.

The latest figures saying 32k in hotels is actually lower than it was at some time in 2023.
