was so close.I also wonder to what extent the sluggish performance of the German and French economies is as a result of their big UK market not having a pot to piss in.

I voted Tory in 2010 I really didn’t realise in the noughties how good we had it.The brass neck of the Tories 15 years ago claiming that 'Britain is broken'. I'm by no means Blair's biggest fan, but New Labour left behind robust public services and significant growth. The only achievement I can identify with this lot is that unemployment has remained pretty low within a no/low growth regime. And then you consider the downsides they've inflicted upon us: public services on its last legs, local government heading towards bankruptcy, Brexit, redistribution from poor to rich, no/low growth, and much more.
Those that have put an 'X' alongside one of their candidates need to have a long, hard look at themselves.
Well done for 'fessing up. I forgive you, because you won't be falling for it again.I voted Tory in 2010 I really didn’t realise in the noughties how good we had it.
I got conned by the Labour crashed the economy card by overspending, it was utter nonsense.
Roll up, roll up, last chance to buy yourself an honour…

The right wing smear campaign on Starmer (and as a result, defence lawyers) is going to cost a lot of money.
In essence, the Mail and others must convince the uneducated majority that Starmer and by proxy, defence lawyers, are inherently evil and corrupt and have no issue with the crimes of the defendants they are representing. It’s part of the whole ‘lefty lawyer’ campaign and is high risk indeed.
Meanwhile, a lot of that money could also be used to fund the super injunction protecting the identity of Boris Johnson’s half sister who was given a seat in the lords by him.
To an extent, yes. But this is the Home Secretary. One of his main roles is law and order and keeping people safe - including women. It's in the 'private' moments when people's real character comes out. He thinks that mild (and illegal) use of a date rate drug is 'funny'. That doesn't make him, in my eyes, the best person qualified to be Home Secretary.Non story. Just a twat making an unfunny private joke with his wife and friends.
He’s Home Secretary … he doesn’t have a private life and that goes way beyond ‘an unfunny private joke’. This lot need to remember that they are public servants paid by the tax payer to do our bidding.Non story. Just a twat making an unfunny private joke with his wife and friends.
It's not even a private joke though. It was at a Downing Street receptionTo an extent, yes. But this is the Home Secretary.

Indeed. A ‘work do’.It's not even a private joke though. It was at a Downing Street reception
I'd struggle to keep my job as well. He effectively said it to clients.Indeed. A ‘work do’.
Told to a group of women apparently.
I’d get sacked for the same.
