1. It's £22,000 after factoring inflation,
2. You are counting income tax and NI in 2010 whilst only counting income tax in 2024.
Either a basic mistake or a wilful misrepresentation of the facts.

Two ways to look at it:
1. A BAME child of immigrants becomes Chancellor. Exceptional achievement.
2. Guy who went to Winchester & Oxford and then worked as a banker before becoming Conservative MP is Chancellor. Clichéd.

Isn't this a photo taken of a house?
In Milton Keynes.
An entirely new city that was built to help deal with massive national housing shortage?

It's the house that gets me.
One of, if not thee, top English footballer of the early-mids 90s living in your standard new build middle class detached house.
@CrowtherSim
I don't know why it's surprising though.
A working class girl brought up by a single mother in a deprived area of Newcastle who got into Oxford and is now a Cabinet Minister at 40.
Frankly 4 A's is the minimum she would needed.

I've asked around various friend groups on WhatsApp and 90% of people had a granny which had one
Must have made a clean fortune.
Second only to the lad that took and sold pictures from a helicopter of bungalow in rural Ireland in the 80s and 90s.

I'm the same age and by my reckoning I'm on my third "once in a generation" crappy economic thing in the last 13 years.

Wasn't there a Daily Mail headline years back on the contraceptive pill.
"Scandal! Millions of women use it. Its suppose to be 99.9% effective.
But why are hundreds of women still getting pregnant whilst on it?"
@lukerobertblack
So his dad then ran a tool workshop/factory and Keir went to a grammar school?
Why, as a Tory, do you dislike small business and grammar schools?

Cocktail sausages to the right of him.

Balloons and party poppers thundered
Into the jaws of the party plodded Boris
Interesting part of the 2005 election Question Time when the audience were having a go at Tonty for the 48 hour target for GP appointments meaning they were being forced to book appointments sooner than they wanted them...
@PetreRaleigh
There will be almost certainly no Presidents born in either the 1930s or 1950s.
First time since I believe the 1810s that this has happened.
@pptsapper
I still think it's mad that there were perhaps 250,000 Irishmen fighting in the American Civil War. About 4:1 in favour of the Union.
Not second, third, or fourth generation, but men actually born in Ireland.
@WeHaveWaysPod
It was brilliant until at 26:32 when the B-17D on screen did not have adjustable cowl flaps on the engines which as everyone knows was an addition this varient of the B17 so the show is now the worst thing ever.

It is the self-confidence that you have to admire.
If that was me I would be too embarrassed to show my face for getting so many calls so badly wrong
@drjennings
My pet peeve has always been Boris being described as a great campaigner. He got only 300k more vores than May.
It was the collapse of the Labour that always helped him.
@Robert___Harris
Jim Callaghan was called by the Labour Party prior to the 1997 election asking if he wanted to be a bit more more active in politics.
" Well, I was a Labour Prime Minister. What more can I do?"

Own goals are generally mistakes in the heat of the moment or an unfortunate rebound.
This was akin to spending an entire game smashing the ball into your own goal from 40 yards away.
@JamesDAustin
I am always shocked that squash is not an Olympic sport.
For football perhaps 5 or 7 aside?
Although for golf, it's the only real opportunity that golfers have of representing their own country outside of the US golfers for the Ryder Cup.

Here he is a 32 y/o actor looking 50 whilst playing someone in his late 30s in the first episode of The Sweeney.
It was an episode that also had Brian Blessed and June Brown.
@BadSocialism
But more than anything else it shows how deep the rot spread.
You would at least expect some denial or repentance for what happened. But to double down and say they deserved it. Christ.
@fesshole
I'm in a complete time warp of thinking about someone who is now an adult being able to look backwards in time to when they were 7/8 and scratching their Dads Xbox game.
@marketsneil
So you think it was sustainable that the average British would continue to have 40x the income of the average Chinese or Indian person?
Those 27 years meant hundreds of millions of people in India, and China came out of poverty

Lenin also spoke English with an Irish accent. This was noted by both HG Wells and James Connolly's son Roddy.
He learnt it whilst in London. His teacher was from Rathmines.
