That’s part of the debate. Some of the government want benefits and pensions to rise by inflation (the highest rate). Some want Pensions only to increase by Inflation - suggested to be 10.8% at the Rhine the decision needs to be made according to regulations.Some want both to be at 5.4% - average increase In earnings. None seem to want to to be restricted to 2.5%.

Hope this helps you. Supposed to be the highest of: 2.5% Rise in average earnings 5.4% Inflation 10.8% Boris and Sunak had confirmed it would be inflation. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/what-government-plans-universal-credit-25173255.amp

The Triple Lock promise on Pensions seems to next in line for a U turn. Choices are (approximately) Inflation rate 10%, Average Wage Rate Rise 5% or 2.5% Which is your money on?

It might come to that.

The importance of facts.

Excellent player with Saints. I wish him well. I could never understand how a man who hardly seemed able to walk when off the pitch looked so good on it. Scored some great goals.

As someone said - If Carlsberg did Scorelines for the SPL - then this would be one. Into third place on our own.

You win a coconut Exiled! Spot on. Maybe not in the way you envisaged it Nor me! COYS

As things stand, St Mirren, Livingston or Hibs could go third today. Naturally hope it is the Buddies.

I think I am right that should Hearts lose and we win then we would go into 3rd place. Winning would be great.

Those were the days 50s,60s,70s

A night at the casino for the PM and Chancellor sees them roll the dice.

I would go for all three and have some variety. Maybe even commute from one room to the other.

I expect a fiery encounter between two well drilled and fit teams. I hope to make it to my usual seat as part of my post op rehabilitation! Parking behind the west stand will make this a lot easier and the stewards were very helpful in getting me in when I had difficulty. Close match but hope for a win for Saints.

Our big guy will get another opportunity. Just keep playing as he is.

If we get those I’ll buy you a drink!

I’m a believer! But each game is going to be a battle

Great result, lots of endeavour and a slice of luck with Ukraine not converting chances. I’ll take that.

Ukraine on top. Made more and better chances than Scotland. Can’t get behind Ukraine. They might go a man down however with their very physical style of defending.

Signed up for Premier Sports to watch this tonight. Would usually watch online matches at the pub. Expecting a real scrap.

One view on the right wing budget

Very restful. Beautiful voice.
