    So Rachel Reeves has stated that "serious economists" do not believe that the UK is heading for an IMF bailout. This is a reference to economists writing in The Telegraph that increasing national debt caused by excessive public spending, particularly on welfare and increasing debt yields may...

    She has resigned as deputy leader of the Labour Party as well and as housing minister. The role of housing minister was not a nothing role, she was in charge of delivering one of Labour's key pledges and of a huge budget.

    We may look for a loan in January depending on how things pan out and who we bring in. If we revisit the Savinho/Lookman type situations for example.

    It will come. I have seen more and more lads at grass roots level like GB said. Still probably not enough in terms of being representative of the total population but its growing. I think it will take a trailblazer for kids to aspire to. And then you'll see more and more coming through. You...

    I came off social media a while ago. Best thing I ever did for my mental health. Only takes about an hour of looking through X, FB, TT and Insta for you to start thinking that human kind needs a good old mass extinction event!

    Not overlooking them, no. I said he was intelligent, successful and got a lot of things right in his life. Not that he was a good man that hadn't made mistakes.

    It is a good story, it is a bit odd that there aren't more English muslims that come into pro-football. Partly i guess many are of south asian background and cricket is a competing priority. I thought Hamza Choudary looked promising early on in his career and he played for England u21s but he...

    Well a few people on here have mentioned having high hopes for Polanski - the bar is low!

    I mean the fact that the new great hope of this forum is a guy who was previous mainly known for offering hypnotherapy to increase women's breast sizes is all you need to know!

    That's kind of my point. We end up with MPs that are MPs because its the only way on GHod's green earth they'd get a job paying £80k a year but then again the people you'd really want to be MPs wouldn't touch all the hassle, stress and public scrutiny for that wage as they can get a lot more...

    It is crap when you consider you're in charge of the whole country. The CEO of a large private company will be getting £millions

    Our politicians are paid like cr*p for the responsibility and stress. So nobody other than an incompetent narcissist wants to do it. E.g. Boris Johnson had to take a huge pay cut to become PM. He did it as he had dreamed of being "world king" since being a kid or whatever his sister said.

    I've just realised what you're on about. Yes i said 65-70% of households owned their home with a mortgage. The second bit of that is incorrect, more like 30-35% as you said

    That's for new advances only (I.e. new customers for the lender). Doesn't include re-mortgages, further advances etc.

    Most properties owned will have been owned via a mortgage at some point. But if you want mortgage % the total number of "households" in the UK is 28.6 million. 65% own the home = 18.59 million. There are 8.5 million outstanding mortgages at 2022. While thats increased since i'd say roughly...

    Boomers aren't the only people that can afford houses, that is a myth. It is 65% of households in Britain own their home. Not all of them will be mortgaged. UK Finance state members told them there were 8.5 million outstanding residential mortgage loans at 2022 and 2 million buy to let loans...

    Way off. Having checked properly it's 65% of all UK households own their own home. Does vary significantly by demographic though: - 70% of white British - 68% of British Indian - much lower for other ethnic groups with the lowest being mixed white/black and black other (down at 14 and 16%)...
