I thought you Tories believed in means-testing and 'targeting' support on those most in need; are you saying that all pensioners should receive the winter fuel payments, even if they have 'gold-plated' occupational pensions?

I do find it amusing that Tories (mainly) are so adamant about defending inheritance, when they also complain constantly about too many people getting 'something for nothing' due to other people's hard work. If I inherited a £ million, what have I actually done to deserve or earn it? I've been...

True, but for all the Reform UK 'defectors' they would probably win back, they would lose more moderate, 'liberal' or One Nation Conservatives to a centrist Labour Party, or the Liberal Democrats.

"And, Bibi, that hole is much bigger than my brain."

And that the people who are so angry about IHT or VAT on private school fees never seem to be angry about how many people have become reliant on Food Banks due to inadequate incomes. The motto that so many people seem to live by is "Love and protect the rich, hate and punish the poor."

World of work has changed. Millions of people do work hard - they have to in order to keep their jobs and hit 'performance targets' - but their wages and salaries don't increase to reflect their hard(er) work. The only people who benefit from you or I working harder are our bosses and/or...

Yet if she didn't laugh, they'd denounce her as a humourless ball-breaking feminazi. Trumpian Republicans really are utter w@nkers.

'Average' earnings tell us nothing; millions of ordinary working people have had below-inflation pay rises for over a decade, but pay rises in boardrooms and City banks have been in the six/seven-figure range. Two years ago, Sainsbury's shop-floor workers had a miniscule pay rise linked to an...

This is why I actually thought it would be a good thing that he got elected - everyone could then see what a lazy, skiving, self-serving, slimy, gurning little sh*t he really is. He won't serve a full 5-year term as Clacton's MP. Too much hard work and nitty gritty dealing with local people's...

You're a much more tolerant guy than me. If they were my in-laws, I'd tell my missus that she would be going on her own in future, because I would not be prepared to give up my leisure time to be in their house listening to this crass stupidity and bullshit from people who clearly get their...

Your criticisms about the BBC and NHS sound absurd. If you think the BBC is politically biased, then watch GBNews - I bet their political bias doesn't offend you. Your comment that "I have heard he [Starmer] is partial to a nurse simply sounds unhinged - or malicious; you've 'heard' - but have...

And rape in marriage deemed a husband's 'conjugal rights' (until the early 1990s) 🤮

Yet so many of the damaging and divisive policies of the last 45 years have been introduced by a Conservative Party obsessed with the free-market, privatisation and rewarding corporate bosses - and before you say "What about Blair?", yes, he was in thrall to Thatcherism, sadly, and so continued...

Trump would lead a mob chant of "Lock him up, lock him up."

Yeah, Jesus would definitely be denounced as Woke in today's political climate! And let's face it, the people who support Trump are not keen on things like compassion, and concern for the sick and the poor - even though many of them claim to be staunch or born-again Christians.

And calling anyone with any decency or a social conscience 'Woke'.

Tories go Green - they're recycling rubbish :lolol: https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/iain-duncan-smith-tipped-to-become-interim-tory-leader-as-sunak-eyes-quick-exit-379087/

I'm interested to see how long Farage serves as Clacton's MP. He'll soon get bored of the nitty-gritty of dealing with his constituents' day-to-day problems, and their requests for advice: "Dear Nigel. The Home Office are threatening to deport me because I apparently have the wrong skin...

Trump is the leading proponent of using derogatory terms and insults to smear or ridicule his political opponents and critics. The narcissitic Man-Child loves insulting people, and pandering to his adoring supporters at public rallies (he is a typical demagogue who likes whipping-up emotions...

I think Lammy is correct in his description of Trump. I bet you love it when Hard Right politicians make controversial remarks about their political opponents - "They're saying it like it is", "Free-speech is sacrosanct", "Good on 'em for defying Cancel Culture" - but can't bear it when a...
