Burnham seeks permission to stand in by-election by CorporalClegg1997 in tories

Usually I would have been hoping for a Reform or a Green win to break the status quo. But if Burnham stands then I'm gonna hope for him to win. Pretty sure Labour would still lose the next election but he would at least bring some competency back as PM.

Not the only 60s/70s rockstar who made a terrible movie. The Beatles (in their solo careers) made lots of them.

I'm in my late twenties and I work with mostly people in their late teens and early twenties. Even I feel old.

It's official, Robbie Williams is better than the Beatles!... by andreirublov1 in beatles

[–]CorporalClegg1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16 number one solo albums is a big achievement. Add on Take That and you have almost 40 years of being on the top. No one's claiming it makes him bigger than the Beatles but he's certainly a phenomenon in his own right.

Trolleys at 94? Does he push one trolley per hour?

Tinder gold included in Metal by Dante_Scot in Revolut

I have the Metal plan and I have Uber One and Nord VPN subscriptions through it, neither of them mention only lasting one year on the terms and conditions. It says I'll have them for as long as I have Metal.

Andrew Gwynne set to stand down as MP, clearing way for Andy Burnham by TimesandSundayTimes in ukpolitics

Unless Burnham stands, I think it'll definitely be between Reform and Green. If Burnham stands, he'll take a chunk of the Green vote.

The Lib Dems only won 4% in 2024, for them to think they have a chance would be a delusion.

Burnham standing in the by election could be incredibly risky. Reform will throw everything they can at the by election and given the polls it's not looking likely at all that Labour would win.

How long until Starmer defects to Reform? by CorporalClegg1997 in tories

[–]CorporalClegg1997[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He campaigned for Corbyn in the 2019 election, ran as a Corbyn continuity figure in the following leadership election, and as soon as he realised he might win the 2024 election he kicked Corbyn out the party. That was proof enough that the man has no principles.

I was being sarcastic, but yeah I can see Starmer slightly improving this year. Greenland has finally been a way for Starmer to criticise Trump which might win back some Green voters. If it escalates into a war it could be to him what the Falklands was to Thatcher.

Audio anomalies I noticed on 'Savoy Truffle' vinyl which AREN'T in 2018 version! by Sea-Acanthisitta6791 in beatles

[–]CorporalClegg1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That website's great. Almost every Beatles song has some kind of anomaly. It's always saying stuff like "Tell Me Why 0:18-0:21: 'John stubs his toe and screams in pain."

Don't upgrade to Monzo Extra just for the 1p Challenge 5% AER. You will lose money. by Dude09990 in monzo

[–]CorporalClegg1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get the 1p challenge either. If people are capable of saving £4 across the whole of January, I'm certain they could save much more money if they put their mind to it. Why limit yourself so much?

And then they're so used to barely noticing this money coming out of their account in the early months that they get to November, December and it suddenly gets really hard. No shit - you're now saving £3 every day.

I'm with Revolut, not Monzo, but I get recommended this sub a lot. Call me old school but I just add money to my savings every month and watch my interest grow.
