Why do so many people insist on saying "The proof is in the pudding" - it makes no sense & it isn't even a real phrase. The correct phrase is "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" which does actually make sense, though people are either too ignorant or too bloody lazy to use it.

Thanks @Political TV. I'm not a reform voter and never will be, but the back and forth between reform and labour on the question of 'Who is suitable to lead the Conservative party?' really troubled me and underscored that, at least for the moment Labour are underestimating the potential pull of the Reform party. The whole interaction really just showed they don't understand the root cause of Reform's appeal.

[@chbuki]

I found the whole brushing away of Reform’s electoral prospects by the Tory peer completely ridiculous. Look at how many seats up and down the country had Reform in 2nd with the combined Tory-Reform vote clearly higher than the Labour vote. I get that it’s too simple to just say all Tory voters would turn around and vote Reform, but I 100% think it should be clear to Labour that their popular support is a much less solid than they are trying to portray to the public. I hope they can find it in themselves to be more radical in action. I don’t want to know how things will turn out if the Labour government fails and the pendulum swings even harder back to “the right”, or “Right/Nationalists” however they’d like to call themselves.

@@shelleyscloud3651 I respect your expertise in these matters and I did the searches you suggested (as well as some others) and found that yes we would have to abide by laws on state subsidies (which are allowed), competition laws and procurement laws none of that seems to prevent the creation of a new nationalised energy company it just means we wouldn’t be able to favour it above others in offering contracts. Which seems reasonable as if EDF can do it cheaper than BE then so long as it gets done the policy would have worked. I am also confused as in 2014 we renationalised Network Rail which surely would fall foul of any regulation that prevents new nationalised companies?

Why is it not obvious that every single problem with NHS, sewerage, power etc have one massive thing in common and that's far too many people suddenly requiring each service! We can't keep letting more people in without infrastructure which takes huge amount of time. NHS wastes too much money but also had far too many people using the service, water and sewerage infrastructure is mostly ancient with very slow upgrades and now with huge amount of people it can't cope, power again more people with more electric devices to quickly and upgrades to slow to keep up. Every problem stems to same issue, population growth is far too large for infrastructure and needs to stop then be balanced with what we can cope with. Just trying to pump more money into every service isn't the answer at all, yes everything needs money to upgrade but a realistic time frame needs to be put in place as all of these services took absolutely years to sustain population growth at a similar level for decades then boom we open borders and then people wonder why all our services can't cope? Just makes me furious when MPs keep saying it's lack of money what's caused the problem when it's impossible to keep up. All these parties angry at water and sewerage issues(quite rightly) but they want to build thousands of new homes for thousands of new people even though our ancient services can't cope now.

Gordon Brown rushed through Lloyd's takeover of HBOS without doing any due diligence, once it was finally done Lloyd's then needed bailing out as well because of the bad loans at HBOS. Let's not pretend they did everything correctly.

Gordon Brown de-regulated the banks and changed the banking rules so they could take more risks and make record profits. He then bankrupted the UK to bail them out.
