Croatia 0 v 7 England Croatia were outplayed everywhere and for the entire game. They definitely need a refresh and younger team. That said England were excellent to a man and would have beaten most teams tonight.

Extract from a Richard Burnham post. Highlighting the national lack of work against a backdrop of the state reducing younger peoples benefits supposedly to force them to work. Where there is no work. So they are actually just taking the money of them. Full stop OUR GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WORK FOR US

If Andy Burnham and the PLP had the slightest intention to do any of this, all they need to do is to whip the Labour MPs to vote for it and make it into law. Because Labour majority in the House allows him to do it. Right now, not in 2029. Does anyone believes in this BS anymore?

This is how it feels in the UK. Everyday, a state agent walks up their local highstreet, they look for old people and people who may be receiving benefit and having stopped them, they take £20 out of their purse. Leaving them bewildered with the parting line. 'SEE YOU TOMORROW' Say it isn't so!

Erm. We all already contribute. I suppose he didn't say, everybody will contribute more, so I suspect he is finally going to make rich and wealthy people with accountants pay the NI on all their earnings/passive earning. I suppose he is going to assure that all value CEO's gain is assessed as PAYE?
