There’s been a ten year benefits freeze. Must have been a pretty lowly lifestyle if you’ve maintained it through that.

163 economists and academics back Labour's spending plans in that well known Trotskyist rag...
The Financial Times.
The Labour party received a boost on Tuesday when 163 economists signed a public letter offering broad support for its proposals for higher public investment to kick start growth and raise productivity.
The letter published in the Financial Times lamented Britain’s poor economic performance of the past decade, called for “a serious injection of public investment” and said Britain would benefit from greater state involvement in national economic management.
Although most of the signatories are left-leaning academics, their support for the proposals for radical measures will come as a boost for Labour at a time when the Conservatives, who have led the government since 2010, are attacking the party’s manifesto as likely to cause an economic crisis within months.
“It seems clear to us that the Labour party has not only understood the deep problems we face, but has devised serious proposals for dealing with them. We believe it deserves to form the next government,” the letter said.

In case you haven't noticed we are still in the EU, if Labour gets in propped up by the SNP we will still be in the EU so I ask again what are the changed circumstances?

Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, came out in support of the Chief Rabbi. He said: “That the Chief Rabbi should be compelled to make such an unprecedented statement at this time ought to alert us to the deep sense of insecurity and fear felt by many British Jews.” He called on everyone in the country to match words with “visible action” when it came to standing against antisemitism.
The archbishop added: “No individual or community in our shared society should have reason to lack confidence in their belonging or security, so parties must make it an absolute priority.”
Labour, he says, can no longer claim to be the party of diversity, equality and anti-racism. Its record on antisemitism in opposition, he says, left him asking: “What should we expect of them in government?”
He also received support from Baroness Neuberger, one of the Reform Jewish community’s most prominent rabbis, told Today on Radio 4 that under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership the Labour Party was plagued by “an insidious antisemitic tone, and an unwillingness to really face it”.
She warned that while the UK had until recently felt a comfortable place to be Jewish, “that is shifting and if Labour under his leadership come to power, it may be less comfortable and people will look for ways of moving to mitigate what feels oppressive, uncomfortable, dangerous”.

Sorry, who were the snowflakes again?
Jesus wept. You can’t be this daft.
We have not yet left the EU. We may well leave the EU because of referendum held in 2016. Leave won this referendum. At some point in the future we may leave the EU.
This is what has changed since the last Scottish referendum. It’s a major change in circumstance.
The vast majority of the people of Scotland don’t like that change in circumstance. The vast majority wish to remain in the EU.
The change in circumstance has made it desirable for Scotland to have another referendum as they don’t wish to get dragged out of the EU by England.
Please don’t tell me you didn’t know that?

The Scots also voted to stay in the EU by way of that vote the conditions have now changed. If you are being pedantic about once in a life time then the give that vote to those who have become of age since the last vote and I will lay odds a vote to leave the UK will be the majority.
Northern Ireland has not had that once in a life vote so you are ok with them having a referendum ?

The IFS has more to say on Labour's Freebies, specifically their £58bn Waspi pensions pledge ...
...it immediately breaks the promises they made in their manifesto just last week only to borrow to invest.
"So, they would need even more than their £80 billion tax rises if they wanted to cover that.
"The other, I suppose, is just a statement of priorities or decisive lack of priorities, because there's so much money for so many things, but they're not finding money, for example, to reverse the welfare cuts for genuinely poor people of working wage.
