    The average UK mortgage for a 5 year fix increased by 1.06% in the quarter before she became PM.  In the quarter after it increased by 1.09%. https://www.statista.com/statistics/386301/uk-average-mortgage-interest-rates/

    The overnight 2% increase was actually over 6 months.

    The issue also affected a small number of people since it only affected those coming out of a fix that wanted another fix.  People that were in the middle of their fix or on a variable rate saw no substantial increase as a result.

     

    Most people on mortgages go from fixed to fixed.  Hardly a small number.  Of course people on fixed rates saw “no substantial increase” - that’s the point of fixed rates.  .  The increase of 1.09% wasn’t inevitable.  She absolutely did f**k over millions of mortgage holders.

    It seems clear to me Clarke had a look at Turnbull and didn't really fancy him, hence him basically disappearing from squads of late.

    A bit like everyone else.  
     

    The Armstrong news is slightly concerning, but either with him or without him Turnbull most likely can’t be under consideration.

    I'm watching out of habit but there really isn't anyone shining through as a missed talent.

    Yeah. The vegetarian woman seems probably the best but I don’t think she has the range of a finalist.  There’s nobody you’d say ‘sure fire final three” at this point.

    He's a Stuionist - he jumps on whatever will get him the best chance of being abusive to as many people as possible while feeding his monumental ego. He's been like this since he was a teenager; there's a reason he had a mid-life switch to blogging about politics.

    Someone pointed out that this is literally the second hit on Google UK for 'politics forum', which is terrifying. Most of them are probably completely unaware that this is even a football forum before slamming their faces into the keyboard a few times.

    Presumably the one who disappeared so quickly is one of our frequent fliers, though. I'd guess the Falkirk bigot.

    He’s a right wing grifter.    Lawrence Fox without the budget.

    Tell you what, closet Unionist (I suspect, anyway, it would explain much) and screamy Nicola-hater Wings Stu will be thrashing about in an ecstatic onanistic frenzy over this. 

    He’s not a unionist, he’s just an unhinged babbling imbecile who, somehow, cottoned on to the absolute brain mush that is Twitter.  See Jim Spence for another case.  
     

    But youre right.  If he slings about enough shit, some of it will stick.

    I wasn't sure the Mets would see .500 again this season after the start but they may not be the shambles I thought.

    Not as good as they thought they were, not as bad as everyone else thinks.

    Q: Was Eli King's assist for Sims a deliberate piece of skill to evade his marker, or a fresh-air attempt at a flick followed by a chase? I instantly thought the latter, but now I'm not so sure.

    Looking at the “exclusive special angle” provided by the Club, I still am none the wiser.

    I think my favourite blink and you’ll miss it player (although he was there for a few years) was Franck Escalon, just oozed class.  The thing about all Coopers teams was they were just built to attack, you just never knew what you were going to get.  Well apart from when we played Caley and it was always going to be 3-0 with Iain Stewart scoring.

    for some reason cooper insisted on playing him at right wing back, but when he was fit and on midfield he’d go into my all time favourite team.  I can remember a game away to Dundee United and at an absolutely freezing lesser Hampden where he was on a different planet to anyone else.

    Willie Irvine of Alloa still gives me nightmares.
