“although this would sit better if Labour weren’t also pandering to the racists.”

I reckon Reform have a hardcore racist vote of 15-20%, with the other 10-15% drawn to them for other reasons. With talk of a Reform/Tory alliance, does it not make sense for Starmer to highlight how dangerous Reform are, although this would sit better if Labour weren’t also pandering to the racists.

Jaffa Cakes are cakes not because you eat them with a fork but because they go hard when left out, whereas biscuits go soft. I’ll get me coat…

Can you not see that your (typically selfish) decision to not be blamed for a number of weeks has directly resulted in this latest debacle. If you’re not prepared to selflessly come forward to be blamed for what might otherwise look like another Your Party shitshow, then what chance do we have?

Yes, but the biggest tax increases come from the ‘fiscal drag’ of the freeze on tax bands. Rachel Reeves strongly criticised the Tories when they introduced this tactic and she also said that she wouldn’t extend the measure any further, but she has. This ‘stealth tax’ is not targeting the wealthy.

The govt has slapped a relatively small tax on people with posh houses but otherwise kept well away from taxing the wealthy.

Surely there can’t be any £10m mansions in Leeds. But on a serious note, although I don’t have any sympathy for people with £2m+ homes, I’m not entirely sure the value of your home should determine how much council tax you pay. Surely income tax is the way…

You will hear the word ‘weasly’ used time and time again when people talk about Mason, because it’s the perfect word to describe him, and they’re the ones being kind to him.

Never forget that, to quote Lord Justice Sedley “beyond the everyday world ... lies the world of VAT; a kind of fiscal theme park in which factual and legal realities are suspended or inverted."

You are so right, Alex. Last night our 18yo son James made us an extremely good mushroom risotto.

Huge respect for 34% who voted for the person who lucky guessed his way to the final five but ruined his chances by being such a bellend that his closest ally turned against him.

Sad that Albert Molinaro, who played Al Delvecchio in Happy Days, died on Henry Winkler’s birthday in 2015 (although Al had lived to the ripe old age of 96).

My Mum bought these when she waved me off to Uni at Grimsby Station. She probably wanted to check I’d finally gone so she could have a rest from the extra washing and cooking. That said, she did once bring a food parcel for me to a Barry Manilow gig at the Apollo when I was living in Whalley Range.

Luckily for us, Lord Stockwood of Nunsthorpe convinced David that Cleethorpes was the place for him and here we are now, 3rd in League Two and still in the FA Cup and the League Cup. UTM!

His spell at Crewe turned out to be very successful, but he left after the club sold his best players following promotion to Division One. His time at Crewe was not forgotten though and after decided to return to football after a sabbatical, a number of clubs were still interested in his signature.

…Just looking back at the details of that day and it turns out that the day was a more significant day in the future of Grimsby Town than we could ever had imagined. A promising young coach called David Artell had just been appointed as Crewe manager the month before and this was his first win…

I thought people opposing Gary Neville were upstanding citizens with legitimate concerns. Shocked to hear that these stout fellows are members of a far right movement.

This is one of the most wrong opinions to ever appear on Anon Opin. Before we even start to consider the thousands of artists who have released better tracks than the two mentioned, even Tears For Fears and Crowded House have released better tracks. Utter nonsense.
