    Can’t argue with that. Trust in the “powers that be” is very scant.

    I understand. I’m not quite there yet. I’m keen to see what they deliver in the upcoming budget and beyond. Labour are on a handicap as people lost so much trust in government through the Tory shambles. A bit like someone dating again after being in an abusive relationship, you’re going to be...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Although it’s irks me to admit it, I did rather well under the Tory government, in some respects. But I never trusted them on wider matters. I want to believe in Labour and as cheesy as it sounds, I don’t mind being a little less well off financially if it means our public services at least...

    I’m going down to that area next year so I’m going to try and get along to a match. If only to compare the catering.

    Ah. I think we finally have their definition of “working people”……themselves. Who would have thunk it. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has said "working people" would not see higher taxes on their payslips following Wednesday's Budget. Appearing on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg...

    May have found my new underdog to cheer on… “Perched on a hill overlooking the tip of Cornwall with the Atlantic stretching far beyond, Mousehole AFC is a world away from top-flight football. The most westerly club in the English leagues is staffed mainly by volunteers, is financed by a...

    That’s certainly one interpretation of it. And makes sense. My beef isn’t with the upcoming policy. I have an idea of what a working person is. But unfortunately so does everyone else. And they don’t always marry up. The issue I have is the lack of clarity. Labour themselves have...

    Complete nonsense of course. You have no idea of whom Labour have in mind by saying “working people” than anyone else does. You can say “we all know what it means” but you’ve failed to explain it and given yourself a get out clause by trying to make the question seem ludicrous. Nonsense.

    Ha! Well the problem as I see it is that they keep failing to really explain what they mean. We all know the clamp down on winter fuel payments is actullay sensible idea to means test a benefit that is being paid to wealthy people as well as poor people. But Labour was so bad at explaining...

    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...

    I will wait and see which groups in society he targets. If he starts taxing the wealthy properly and makes life easier for struggling ordinary people, I’ll start to think about trusting him.

    To be fair that simply won’t be stopped overnight. We have to repair the damage with our EU relations to start cooperating on both sides of the channel and into European mainland. And we have to deal with the backlog. The Tory’s deliberate sabotage of our asylum process is squarely to blame...

    16 yr old German “soldier”. Captured by U.S. troops after being forced to fight in Hitler’s futile total war.
