UK tax receipts since 1963: full data There's a link to download some data there.

Only 30% of student debt is repaid and the Conservatives have previously sold student debt at 10% of its book value. One of the most accurate statements you've made on this thread :emoji_smiley:

Those that don't have a problem with the deal with the DUP would you also be fine if Labour had got the most votes and did a deal with Sinn Fein involving £2bn of taxpayers money?

Who was it?

But again on your logic every single thing in every parties manifesto or mentioned before an election is a bribe. That's clearly not the case. The deal with the DUP is very simple. They have been given £2bn, with it seems more to follow, solely on the basis that they vote in line with the...

Sounds like he'll fit right in.

How is it £30bn expenditure if its historical debt?

Kensington Council have banned the public and press from council cabinet meetings. Open and honest democracy in action.

The cheering was absolutely disgusting. Didn't take long after the praise being given after the terror attacks and Grenfell for the Tories to revert to type. Follows the news a few days ago that the children's ward at St John's Hospital in Livingston is to close for the summer as they can't get...

How would it be expenditure. Were they going to hand over more money to the students who hadn't repaid their loans?

What do you think of the Tories selling off the student debt book at a fraction of its value?

To be fair Andy Turner is generally a decent read. Just gets dragged down by the state of the rest of the paper and blocked access to the club due to other people at the CT stirring things up.

On that basis every manifest by every political party is a bribe. The deal with the DUP was very different. It was a direct payment in return for votes. It also clearly breaches the Good Friday agreement, which potentially has very serious consequences. The £2bn, which it has already been...

Interesting, although not surprising, that when you dig into this story a bit it turns out the only thing that's been said against the Conservatives is one tweet from one school. Everything else is factual and if the Conservatives, as the serving government, are concerned that people having the...

You've got schools looking at not opening 5 days a week as they can't afford it, schools asking for donations so they can buy the books needed and similar yet people act surprised when teachers express concern. Personally I think when teachers are telling you education is in a mess, doctors and...

David Davis:'We're not going to introduce ID cards. We're going to introduce cards of identification'.

About time. What was the Sheff Wed company secretary supposed to have done. Don't recall much mention of him in anything I've seen previously.

The 'independent' panel put together to 'make all public and private buildings safe as quickly as possible' will be chaired by Sir Ken Knight who has previously said sprinklers should not be fitted retrospectively due to cost. The panel also includes the Chief Exec of BRE, that's the company who...

I had to pick him up from the airport once, there's was certainly no chance of missing him head to toe in hi-vis gear!

An improvement on some of our signings in the past.
