Listening to Labour Minister for schools, Catherine McKinnel, flounder on Any Questions.
Struggling further with the question “What’s a working person”
Was asked “what is your definition of a working person”?
Didn’t answer the question, usual bollocks;
“you can’t tempt me into revealing the budget before time, it’s a process we have to respect”.
All true but nothing to do with the question posed to her.
Within 3 sentences she had swerved the question and started talking about some summit in London but she slipped her words and said Sunderland instead of London and then when corrected she fumbled a recovery by saying that the London summit had been good for Sunderland.
Absolute waffle and hogwash.
We’ve heard various definitions this week of what isn’t a working person;
Anyone who can afford to fix a problem in their life.
Someone on 6 figures
Landlords
Anyone who owns shares.
They shot themselves on the foot with that phrase and being unable to clarify what they mean.
What I suspect is that the wobbly phrase “working people” is going to be so weakly defined that Labour will cheerily get away with taxing the middle bracket to within an inch of our pensions.
They have brazenly taken away a payment from some of the poorest in our society. Don’t think they won’t come after your quality of life.
Brace for impact.
