Well, let's enjoy this few of weeks of complete National Whataboutism, before we get dragged back to the reality of the complete clusterf*** which awaits our newly crowned victorious leader.

I'm so pleased that we are not wasting this extension to membership that the EU have granted us :facepalm:

This is proving a scary 'race to the bottom' to court the tiny electorates of 330 Tory MPs and then 124,000 party members. The latter have an average age somewhere between 57 and 72, depending on which source you take. A majority favour a No Deal Brexit which, in employment and pension terms, they perceive themselves to be immune from the problems of.

Johnson has clearly been planning his strategy. The tax cuts he proposes will particularly favour rich pensioners, as they'll be funded in part by increases in NI, which pensioners and those with unearned income such as property don't pay. So, the rest of us will be further subsidising higher rate taxpayers, including, of course, MPs.

A bbc journalist was interviewing a tory at Westminster, sorry can't remember who but someone from the 1922 committee I think, he said Boris' tax plans were not for the rich at all and would favour long time nurses and long time classroom teachers. I am pretty sure nurses don't earn fifty grand and I know no classroom teachers earn anything approaching that. Classroom teachers, even with responsibility points usually earn at least ten grand under the threshold. They are either clueless, or they are lying.

Boris , action not words :wink:
regards
DR

Yes.

His action today was to promise £10 billion in tax cuts to the wealthiest section of society.

His primary aim, though, was the 120,000 Conservative members. A number of whom fit, or have relations who fit, well inside the category.

So to get elected he is willing to screw £10 billion pounds from essential services to get to where he wants to be.

That is just f*****g sick.

And if you can't see that, less endorse that, then, well...

The path to Boris is the path which will confirm that the reputation of the country descends yet further into self-parody. It's as if the history of Britain was being updated by the guys who gave us Spitting Image.
This. Sadly.

Tory leader gets elected July 22nd.
That gives them a week before they all F off on holiday for August
So after that, eight weeks to renegotiate Brexit.
As it took two and a half years for the first “deal”, doesn’t look promising does it?

He probably meant the teachers at his old school or the senior nurses at his 'local' private hospital (not the likes of Bupa or Nuffield but the ones which the hoi polloi can't afford). My wife's a matron after 30 years in the profession and still isn't on £50k!!!

I didn't see the interview you are referring to but what would annoy me is if the journalist didn't challenge that answer by the member! If they don't challenge these statements then idiots will believe them to be true.

Haven't the policies so far been top draw, managed no deal with no payment to EU, scrap VAT, nice tax break for £50-80k earners, plus lots of waffle and chasing unicorns...
