Trying to fix 14 years of Tory rule will have many more speed wobbles.. If they're given time that is.

They don't have the support of the left of the party who want endless spending, look how they got in when trying to tackle the welfare bill (and it was only footering round the edges).

Is it just me but should there not something be done about the huge profits some companies are making in the UK, maybe increase the tax levels on profit at a certain % of revenue.

The reason for inflation the last few years was not over demand by the consumer it was greed by the energy companies and supermarkets taking huge profits.

The UK has a very progressive tax system. What people don't understand is that if you tax these companies to the hilt they will just leave.

Tesco would leave?

BP, Centrica and National Grid PLC, EDF who are all foreign owned would leave the UK?

I don't buy that shite.

Dick Cheney

The man who approved CIA interrogation of thousands of innocent Muslims and the one of Israel's biggest supporters in the the White house.
His legacy is nothing but abhorrent.

Meddled in the Middle East for decades from the Iran/Iraq war, right the way up to the invasion of Iraq and beyond.

A real war monger who sent many US soldiers to their deaths as well as the 100's of 1000's in the countries he was "liberating"

Lined his pockets along the way.

[The current crop of politicians playbook is to spend until the money runs out, refuse to make any tough decisions on anything and then have a phoney principled row/decision in order to pull the house down until someone writes a cheque and/or pressure gets too great and they go back in. Rinse and repeat.]

What is the dup game with this Israel visit ? They blatantly knew the furore it would create. Are they trying to bring the assembly down?

Judging by the increased number of councillors and mla's (of all parties) doing photo opps in constituency I'd say an election is on the cards next year.

The giveaway is the number of political reps showing up in Gaa club social media comments who couldn't find the pitch with a Sat nav.

There will be no more repeats, if Stormont collapses it will not come back. Rachel Reeves will say that the budget will be the same as the North-East of England and she'll tell Benn to start talks about the right time to have a border poll. You have to wonder why the DUP want this.

+1

The DUP are chasing the hard liners as they see gaining the votes from the TUV as their way of maintaining their dominance within unionism, they care not one jot about the wider community, never have and never will.

The key to winning, is know/think who the traitors are, stay aligned with them so they don't kick ya out and then vote them out after the last murder...

Sounds easy lol

The celebrity traitors has been great. I must say they have done well I really hope Alan wins but he made a mess of it the other night when he started laughing when saying he was a faithful. Cat has been a bit annoying not really doing much she was very keen for Alan to have to risk the plain sight murder again also she was very quick to play the ADHD card about the one and only time someone grilled her. Joe and Nick are very smart and makes me think why oh why were they not murdered ages ago instead of the likes of Kate and Lucy who were clueless

That Kate Garroway one is annoying as fúck...

ditsy is being kind to her, dumb springs to mind and her a "journalist"

More physical, good press and a must win attitude only worry is wurz when he came on, jaysus the lads confidence is on the floor.

The wee gift from Martinez was greatly accepted by Salah, but Villa had hit the post earlier and did cut through the Liverpool press a few times to make chances.

Once the goal went in Villa lost confidence in their tactics and Liverpool grew 10 foot tall.

So the better team lost you think. Salah was handed a gift but all the stats don't back up your analysis.
Maybe if you said Villa persisted in playing out from the back and invited the press when other teams who beat them this year were going long and Liverpool struggled with those kick outs. Emery got his tactics wrong and played into Liverpool's hands.

To an extent it's a bit of both.

Villa's tactics worked when they got it right, but they didn't get it right enough to persist with it when it was obviously hurting them with giving up goal chances of their own.
Villa started well but that Salah goal and even the earlier offside goal from Ekiteke was an early warning they didn't heed.
Better team won, but Liverpool are still work in progress defensively as Villa were able to expose once in a while.

Na Piarsaigh let them off the hook early on. A load of missed chances when they could have built up a lead. William O'Donoghue was a big loss for them.
There's always a bottle job ready to break out in Ballygunner!

Yeah, they do seem to fail to deliver every once in a while considering the team they have.

Mahony was also missing for Ballygunner, but no doubt Will O'Donoghue is a big loss also to Na Piarsaigh.

The tippy tappy hurling gone for a wee while as NaPairsigh and Ballygunner get horsed into each other.

The debate for Crowley at 10 has been settled beyond any doubt.
Only 2 of those Munster 23 players are in the Ireland squad. Time for Farrell to pick the team based on merit and not what the South Dublin rugby writers tell him.

P.S. Leo Cullen is doing a great job, leave him there!

To be fair - that was a one off game.
Leinster have been streets ahead of Munster for years.
One result in a run of the mill league fixture isn't going to suddenly convince Farrell to make wholesale changes in personnel.
The likelihood is still that Leinster are going to be a big contender for the Champions Cup whereas Munster won't be.

Ireland with the very heavy Leinster contingent were also very flat in the 6N's this year, so there does need to be fresh blood in these Autumn internationals, but it seems that Farrell is going with the tried and trusted yet again.

Calls for Andy signs  to be replaced

It's  sure going to be a  long sign if they put 'Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Way' on a sign . More costs for cash strapped councils

Man fighting allegations of paedophilia and sex trafficking decides to put Mountbatten in his name.

I'm not sure who's advising this moron but that is a poor decision...

I fancy Liatroim to give Glenariffe a right good rattle tomorrow in Loughgiel with the winners of that being favourites to come out of Ulster.

Burt should have too much for Castlewellan, they make up the biggest proportion of the Donegal county team who have improved immensely in recent years.

Poor Chiesa, did his best but ploughing a lone furrow.

No only did they win the U-14 A Camogie Championship. They won the U-14 A LGFA Championship. I think this is the first time this has ever happened in Down.

I think Clonduff may have done similar in the recent past.

Dunloy won't have the inferiority complex inbuilt into Antrim club football and won't be phased by the occasion as a lot of those names have played in an AI club final.

Defensive systems don't win hurling games, attacking does though.
