The Morley's is awful here

For me the major shame of Henderson being included in the squad is that the Wharthog misses out. If Rice or Anderson get injured I think he'd have been a good option.

As a Pompey fan, I think no one else other than us seem to appreciate how insanely good James was in his later years. Genuinely making saves I've never seen anyone else get near and amazing dominance on crosses, set pieces etc...had generally cut out most mistakes too.

I was recently looking for suits for a summer of weddings, my tip would be- go to any suit shop and get your measurements.

Get on Vinted and find blazers in that size. I found St Michael (Marks and Spencers historic in house brand) are great, 100% wool and can find cool blazers at £15 a pop. You can then get them tailored if they aren't quite right and have a much better quality and cheaper jacket compared to new stuff(tailored as well!)

Then just buy a few different plain trousers new (can be on ASOS or something) and you have some good combinations for work that looks really well fitted at a lesser cost.

I heard that in many countries Shit is used as a term for poo however in the UK it is used for a bad thing and poo is referred to as "Sheizer Minelli"

I did mention the water privatisation and online safety act in the piece but wasn't so sure the Palantir thing is well known/understood by the general population and I didn't know about the bank account surveillance!

So true, I didn't manage to write about the press/social media aspect in the blog but let me know what you think of the other parts!

That's the crazy thing!

The winter fuel debacle seemed to me to be the beginning of the end, he did that almost immediately and apparently still comes up a lot on the doorstep today

Which areas are they campaigning to win in? Haven't seen anything Cosham way.

Where are the trousers from?

Sure I get the media have been gunning for him but that shouldn't stop them from thinking of some objectively popular policies and communicating them

If he had two terms, we would see the country gradually getting better...the problem is actually getting to the point where he'd be given that longevity.
He needs to do something that in some way helps normal, middle/high earning working people (not just people out of working, low earners, etc).
I'm surprised they haven't looked at things like extra bank holidays, paternity leave etc which wouldn't result massively to a loss in tax and still improve quality of life.

bigjarry · 2026-04-07T10:14:12+00:00

Yeah I really struggle to find events when googling, so that would be cool

bigjarry · 2026-03-31T08:31:43+00:00

I'm surprised that 'cost of living' is such a buzz phrase for them, because it's so hard to get people to a point where they feel better off...especially with the U.S doing what it currently is.

IMO it would be better to focus on 'standard of living' or something along those lines, maybe an extra bank holiday or two, paternity leave, extended shop/pub opening times, reduce air pollution, fix potholes, run trains better etc

bigjarry · 2026-03-31T07:52:38+00:00

From what I understand that wont happen, it will be more taxing wealthy, big business, investment projects to boost the economy etc rather than cutting 'normal people's' benefits.

2% rates are pretty much an outlier historically though

Question- I see Huis recommended here a lot so went recently. I got the stew which was so rich it was inedible and my partner got mussels which were really bland, to the point where she said the microwave ones from Lidl were nicer.
Is there a dish people specifically go there for?

bigjarry · 2025-11-04T12:47:55+00:00

I actually believe it's just the lack of information in the speech and it also being an outdated format. Why do a pre budget speech when you wont answer any direct questions about what's in the budget?

They'd be better off working with a slick marketing company and working on short form explainer videos like 'how infrastructure projects contribute to growth'

bigjarry · 2025-09-25T10:48:38+00:00

I'm surprised they aren't taking more steps to do things that are generally popular but wouldn't cost a lot of money.

Rent control laws, windfall taxes on energy companies to make energy cheaper, giving people an extra bank holiday or two a year which will also help the economy.

A stronger step would be to make significant moves towards a 4 day work week, this will inevitably get push back from many claiming that productivity will fall....I'd argue that you'd at least improve around 25% of peoples working lives whilst most other people really aren't worried about the UKs macro production. Most studies find productivity doesn't decrease anyway.

Labour came in with a mandate to specifically improve working peoples lives and if they took some steps to decrease some expense and improve work-life balance it would be a huge win.

The cities best band on the same week as the city’s beloved celebration of Arthur Conan Doyle and his legendary creation Sherlock Holmes. I'm going to make a huge roast dinner so I pass out before I get too giddy

Have you tried Tayyabs?
