I think you've answered your own point. If any batsman gets to the point where they decide such a thing they are definitely getting themselves out.

quite spoilt my day - up early to go out touring N Yorkshire. Watched opening overs of England's 2nd innings - left feeling the target would be met easily, despite Cook & Strauss not being entirely comfortable. Then stopped in Whitby, checked the score and B*****.

      I hate cooking and I can't cook. I live on stuff out of the freezer which I cook once every six months. I exaggerate only slightly.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment rates going in the right direction at the END.

      Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse.

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.
