WITCH-HUNT!!!

I see another Tory has defected to Labour. He won’t be standing in the GE though so not sure what the point was other than to embarrass Sunak.

Saying it takes around 40% of government spending flatters to deceive, it’s a reflection of the state of government finances more than anything. Spending per capita is more accurate gauge, especially if you want to compare it to other countries that have more favourable outcomes of healthcare...

Clearly Labour’s plans to put VAT on private education is going to nudge the country into an apocalypse.

I agree. I say exactly that in the post you’ve just replied to.

1) not even remotely true 2) no idea 3) rebounding from Covid backlogs isn’t the issue, rebounding from pre covid backlogs are. If you drew a linear graph of pre covid growth in backlogs we’re pretty much on the same trajectory. That was a political choice not covid. They tell you it’s Covid...

In the interest of balance it’s worth pointing out that Boris cleansed the Tory of non believers in a massive cull and then replaced them with the moronic 2019 intake of nodding donkeys meaning that the Tories are currently swimming in cesspool of talentless chancers who wouldn’t have been...

I’m not contradicting anything. Any one making the argument for not putting VAT on private school fees put all the onus on VAT being the straw that broke the camels back with putting no weight on the cost of living crisis facing all working families including those that send their kids to...

It’s not just energy though is it. Food bills up something like 30% over 18 months. That isn’t going down, inflation might be coming down but prices don’t, they just don’t go up as fast so that 30% will always be that 30% uplift. It was actually their mortgage hike that broke them. It doesn’t...

I have friends who took their 2 kids out of private school when their energy bills doubled, their weekly shop went up 30% over the course of a few months and then their mortgage payments went through the roof. No one was blaming government policy for that. Maybe if the government didn’t crash...

Pretty sure people who don’t send their kids to private school are every bit as aspirational as those who do. It’s a bit patronising to suggest that only people who send their kids to private schools are aspirational. The government will raise £3000 a year on every child that goes to private...

Ha ha ha ha. At last, a Brexit benefit https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-labour-private-school-tax-raid-legal-challenge-b2553088.html What do we want? A sovereign parliament free from EU interference. When do we want it? When it doesn’t benefit the plebs.

Also why is all the blame put on VAT as to why they can’t afford private school? It will equate to about an extra £60 a week on average. How much has there weekly food bill risen in the last few years? How much has their energy bill risen in the last few years? How much has their mortgage...

I see Liz Truss’ grift to far right has took another leap. Appearing on Lotus Eaters a far right conspiracy theory platform. What’s the betting on her being the next leader of the Conservative Party. An observation that a commentator made yesterday was that all the Tories might have left after...

The weakness with Abbott was waiting until now to reinstate her given the inquiry was apparently completed in December and also the decision to not let her stand at the GE. It shows an inability to make decisions to have let it drag on so long when you clearly only had 2 options, either let her...

Latest yougov poll and a poll of polls The poll of polls is probably about as accurate as you can get at this stage which hasn’t really changed in months and has consistently had Labour with a 20 point lead. Of course the polls can’t account for what people do when it comes putting a cross in...

Sounds that way. Apparently the investigation into her was concluded in December. If you were being cynical you’d say that they were running the clock down hoping that she walks away from politics but have been caught out with the shock GE

Diane Abbot has been reinstated back into the Labour Party.

It’s almost as if Sunak is actively encouraging the young to vote.
