Approaching 2.2 million already.
I don't know what you are referring to, but I don't like people who are running the country finances which are liars and incompetent.
As she will be directly responsible to mental health and deaths, if she screws up the economy, fortunately it hasn't been too cold yet this year.
She is a emotionless robot, within the growing communist state of khans London.

You said you watch GB news....

Sadly, most of them probably voted Lib Dem.

When you vote tactically, all you get is another snout in the trough.

They're all the same.
They are really not all the same, bad this lot may be but they have a long way to go to be worse than the shower of shit you kept voting in for 13 years.

How anyone can think otherwise is totally beyond me. I guess someone is telling you lies and that is why you kept voting them in.

Seems Kier has been getting hammered by the right wing for being out the country too much, woke activities like the G20 summit and COP.

Surely by now he should have fitted in a holiday or two by now, isn’t the PM holiday residence in Mustique available?

From what I am hearing, the Lesser-Spotted Rachel Reeves doesn't need to overly worry about writing 5 years' of budgets.

In other news, the ever-impressive and omni-present Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Darren Jones, who, it would seem, would go to the opening of an envelope if Chris Mason was going to be there with a microphone, has been seen expanding his tie collection.

Should probably book a flight to go and tongue the President-Elect's wrinkled brown-eye, follow in the footsteps of the Rt. Hon Member for Clacton.

Imagine the Prime Minister of a country with a figurehead Head of State going to global events to represent Great Britain. Whatever next?

And for those of you worried about these things, here's some good news that I don't think got much coverage recently:

The anti-immigration offensive of Britain’s Labour government has seen a record number of deportations of asylum seekers since it came to power in July.

Home Office data reveals that 9,400 people have been deported to their home countries since then



And if you prefer your news from GBeebies, here you go:

Processing peoples claims and deporting those that don't qualify as refugees. Exactly how the system is supposed to work, now why didn't the Tories think of that? (or follow the guidelines of the refugee convention).

My God, if they carry on processing the backlog there won't be any need for spending millions on putting them up in 5 star luxury hotels and upsetting the hard of thinking.

How did they ever come up with such a scheme?

Next they will suggest opening up other routes and taking more refuges so people don't have to risk their lives in dingys. Crazy ideas.

When did I vote Tory?

Pray tell.

I simply see the present liars going back on manifesto pledges...they're all the same.

No idea PotG, I was referring to you as the electorate rather than you personally.

Point still stands though, they have a long way to go before they are the same as the previous shower of shite. The fact that
you (personally this time) and so many others refuse to accept this is a huge problem for the UK and will stifle any improvement in the shit you can vote for to govern you.

Never gone Blue in my life.

This time, Blue is the colour. Sort this wretched Brexit out properly, also consider the Red or Yellow alternatives :facepalm:

Best of a very iffy bunch.

:dunce:

Then, after a few more further denials and another GE

Utter claptrap.

Using Skinner and Corbyn as role models is odd at best. As for Johnson, I've never voted Tory in my life.

The problem is when a discussion turns into 'you think this, and you're wrong. I'm right'.

I am a little old fashioned in this respect.

When I voted (don't anymore, live in a very blue constituency), I voted for the Party, not any individual. In my days in the Young Socialists, couldn't bear Kinnock but that was where my interests lay.

Just been to plant my 'X', reassuring that the rain doesn't seem to have deterred the wrinklies at my local.

:dunce:

And here you are ironically moaning about 'liars' :lolol:

I would wholly agree and accept the second one. Which is why the first one was strange. I'm afraid I put it down to ill-considered drivel. The CBI won't have believed it any more than I did.

Simple really, they have a resource of tax income and she has stated that taxes and borrowing will not rise. However, if there is growth then that will generate more revenue with our raising the level of taxation. Also, you can have a certain amount of income and how you chose to spend it now may well be different to how you chose to spend it in 5 years time!

It’s just amateur hour really like so much of it, to be honest I’m not particularly bothered too much about the amateur stuff.. it’s the policies that are scary. Using the wording working people- leaking the WF announcement… saying you won’t raise taxes again- then walking it back 2 days later. None of it is overly important and to be fair it’s hard to be a professional outfit when you are all new to the job. There really should be someone there in the background saying “don’t say ‘working people’ as it’s open to interpretation- change the wording”

She is simply walking back the incredibly rash statement that she made 2 days earlier.. and shouldn’t have made in the first place
