General Election 2017

[Blue3]

Torres what a mess with their proposed death tax but appear to be unwilling to say what the cap would be Mrs May is making it up as she goes along and not talking to the rest of the Tories

 

[Eeyore]

Caroline Lucas has a decent majority,but how safe is she to hold her seat ?

Current local polling has her on 47%. Basically a landslide.

 

[Eeyore]

The tories can't cost their policies until Paul Dacre tells them what they are, a process that's still evolving

After the election it's only him she is answerable to.

Let's cut foreign aid for starters

Do you not think with all the 'soft power', respect and prestige our international aid budget brings, that perhaps now with Brexit it's needed more than ever?

If you care about the NHS whoever you vote for make sure it isn't Conservative!

Why??
I worked on the big extension on Worthing Hospital in 1995, the Tories were in, i worked on Crawley hospital last year, the work is on going, i have just finished on the Eye Hospital Shoreham, Kier the builders are at present on Worthing and Chi, Tthe Royal Sussex has around 6 years work ahead of it.....all under this government.
Meanwhile in the Labour years i was on the Childrens Hospital, the Queeen Alexandria Pompey was going up, work on Southampton etc......all funded by PFI and payback to owners over 30 years, staff and toilet rolls the lot. Same with 3 Crawley schools i worked on.
Labour can not be trusted to fund the NHS properly.

Voted Green on here (the environment is the main long term issue that needs tackling) but given the electoral system that renders a large % of votes (incl mine) redundant or pointless I am considering vote swapping ... https://www.swapmyvote.uk/. Anyone else?

These are Green as well.

Yeap we need all the friends we can get right now. Cutting International Aid is purely UKIP nationalism.

lol... Is that even legit? Looks like a Photoshop or something. If not then it's an extremely ultra rare occurrence and not sure why you would bother to use as an example?

I have to be a bit concerned that Labour are basically offering bribes for people to vote for them. Vote for us and we will scrap next years tuition fees, vote for us and get 4 extra days bank holiday (well the bankers will-= most others will have to work in shops, bars, restaurants, cinemas, and basically everywhere else), Vote for us and it doesn't matter how much money you have, we will pay for your winter fuel (completely right for those who need it, unacceptable for the wealthy who do not) If it works I am really looking forward to seeing how its paid for- and no-it isn't costed whatever they like to say-they have omitted halfd of the costs. At leat with the Torries its basically what we have now

Just saw it, why would you bother to reply, it is probably an extremely rare occurence as you said.

I'm no fan of this policy as it may well affect me, or more accurately, affect my children, and not in a good way. It is driven by the ever increasing number of old people in our society needing care, the increasing cost of providing that care, and also by the fact that medical science is keeping more of us alive for much longer, in many cases with medical conditions which a few years ago would have killed us off.
The number of old people staying alive and being in need of care would not be any different whether we are in the EU or out of it, so this nonsense about it all being due to Brexit is frankly idiotic.

Brexit isn't helping with the staffing shortages and costs though. I've lost count over the last few years how many care homes in the Hastings & Bexhill area have closed and despite that, I know there's increased vacancies for care workers and qualified staff since last June. Someone I know who works in recruitment locally hasn't ever seen as many vacancies as this before. Qualified RGN recruitment in The NHS from The EU has gone from 1000 a month to 100 a month since the vote, it's the same in the care home sector with both RGN and care assistants now. With the tier surcharges for non-EU workers going up, I don't know what the answer is because there isn't the money available in care home and NHS budgets to increase salaries.

lol.. Ok

Labour can not be trusted to fund the NHS properly.

So the manifesto of the Tories pledges an extra £8bn over 5 years as opposed to £30bn over 5 years from Labour.

I see yet again you are spot on

 

[nicko31]

Osbourne increased the national debt higher than any time in Labours 13 years. The "strong and stable" slogan is utter bollocks.

Also, the people slagging off Labours front bench need to look at who our current Foreign secretary is. If Boris was in the Labour camp the MSM would be tearing chunks out of him daily. Funny how it works, eh.

Yes piled on more debt than all the previous, just hoping to inflate their way out of it

Labour desperation.

At 10pm on 8th June, the exit polls will reveal that the Momentum/Corbyn Marxist project has been rejected by the UK.

More flip-flopping from May. How hard would it have been to focus group this shit policy with some normal people?

Whilst I think today's U-turn show May is essentially gutless, the dementia tax IMO was correct. Its the kind of thing they need to be strong on to sort out public finances and avoid the burden the old are placing on the working population.

There is so much property wealth in south England, but lets face it, its unearned wealth has occurred purely out of circumstance of changing demographics, more relaxed lending etc. It also helps address the massive wealth gap.

If you bought a house in 1992 in Brighton you got lucky, in Burnley you may as well stuck your money in the post office

You appear to have pasted your cv instead of a political argument. I hope you haven't doubled up by sending one of your UKIP rants to a prospective employer by mistake.

I think this might be the equivalent of a golden goal.

Instead of copying and pasting from sites you want to believe, with in many cases NO actual experience yourself, i happen to have put down MY experiences, and my opinion.
You keep speculating, back and forth, the Labour party are the saviours etc etc......shall i give you the names of the firms that built and own the PFI sites i was on?
Carry on patronising.
