It would appear so, yes.

The only way we can have any certainty is to ensure a single term Labour government and see what their successors do.

I’ve already said that basically I was “triggered” recently. I didn‘t generally follow politics that closely, didn’t have the time. I imagine you have this sort of stuff in mind. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/12/tory-policy-young-people-britain-wellbeing It will all be so...

Just seen this. “An internal impact assessment last week revealed that removing the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners could push 100,000 more into poverty.” Edit but at least the millionaires aren’t getting free money!

May be. But too little too late,

Many civil servants aren’t though. And those that do should get a maximum of 60%. Many/ most in the hotels have arrived here illegally and then claim asylum. So they are firstly illegal immigrants and then subsequently claim asylum.

As I have said, I personally didn’t need it. It’s the way it was done and a genuine shock that a Labour government would do it that really angered me. Also the enormous anti-boomer sentiment- just turned me right off. There are people on here who have really shifted me politically to the right...

Are you really that diminutive?

Every cloud has a silver lining, thanks goodness for global warming.

Only because of a piece of Tory legislation which limits a governments freedoms to call an election

Big Issue no longer being sold by British homeless.

6 seconds isn’t subjective. And we are talking about trying to stamp this out in the professional game.

That tired old argument again. Im not a millionaire and I don’t avoid tax. If only I could. Its not free money, I am paying for it through my still significant sums in income tax. There are lots of things I would rather my tax not being spent on. Putting up illegal immigrants in hotels being...

Organise a petition to show that most people support it. In your bubble, may be. Not in mine. At least when I say most people don’t support the Labour Party, there is some evidence to support me,

They didn’t do an impact assessment in advance of the change. The child benefit thing is more complicated than that, isn’t it. I thought they give it to everyone, and then take it back in tax if one of the parents earns more than ?£60k. I paid hundreds of thousands of pounds in tax and NI...

Isn’t it the very inconsistency that we complain of to not enforce a rule one minute, and then enforce it the next? Enforcement to the letter of the rules from minute 1 would soon stamp these behaviours out.

We will find out just how incompetent this lot are soon enough,

To be clear, I used to get it but frankly didn’t really need it. I will get my £10 Christmas bonus soon, which equally I don’t need. However, introducing the change at such short notice really made me really angry, along side the failure to acknowledge the potential impact it will have on many...

Air ambulance services tend to be under the control of the Ambulance Trust (or did when I had involvement some years ago), who in turn are “under government control”. Not entirely convinced that core government funding would change that very much, if at all.

He certainly isn’t behaving in a manner morally or politically superior to the previous government, he does look very nice in his freebie suits and specs whilst he is piling on the carbon as he jets around the world though.
