Have a look at that study they just did into the views of voters, party members and MPs. Tory MPs are absolutely batshit, like 18th century Dickens villains. They just aren’t cut out to recover the economy.

Sorry I was wrong, it appears the "new deal" is actually the same amount of money but stretched out over a longer period.

Not enough capital spending and tax increases.

Depression here we come

Why do you want to lockdown for the next 50 years.

Hahahahaha haha Tax increases!! Austerity in the middle of a demand shock. Fuck me. I’d genuinely trust my five year old more with the economy than this lot.

Lads! 0.2% of GDP as capital spending, tax cuts and deregulation will see us through the coronavirus depression!

New deal my arse

He could always take a real leap and legalise cannabis like FDR ended prohibition of alcohol as part of his new deal. Let’s face it, the war on drugs isn’t working, we need a fresh approach and this could be part of managing it and through legalisation we could take money from criminals hands and add it to the tax pot, pun intended.
Just for some scope here’s an article on the illegal cannabis trade and what it generates The UK Cannabis Report: legal cannabis market to reach £2.31bn by 2024

Great news, nice one Boris. He has done the country proud again.



No idea what it means, just doing a Dom impression.

In another example of the rules don’t apply to us ie the Tories, Andrew Brigden calling for the Labour mayor of Leicester to resign after admitting that he broke the lockdown rules. This is the same Andrew Brigden who said Cummings must stay and it’s a witch-hunt.

It isn't just about economic recovery, there needs to a fundamental paradigm shift.

Nah, paradigm shifts and revolutions are overrated.

WHAT DO WE WANT?

SMALL INCREMENTAL CHANGE!

WHEN DO WE WANT IT?

WHEN THE SOCIOECONOMIC INDICATORS SUGGEST!

But in all seriousness this is a once in a lifetime chance to make big changes to the country for the better and set us up for decades to come, just like post war. This lot just don’t have the ambition or the competence to do anything. Look at them blathering on about dualling the A1 like it was the NHS. Losers.

The fact we can’t beat this shower is shameful. Heading in the right direction though. I think you’ll see some Tory voters break in Jan when it hits home Brexit has properly happened and no one can stop it.

I know this isn't the Brexit thread, but this Twitter thread about some pig ignorant Leave voters who, it turns out, didn't know what they were voting for is relevant to your comment and is comedy gold

On cases, maybe maybe not:


Do we know if they’re reporting Pillar 1,2 or both in the briefings?

Also one more death than this time last week. Concerning.

Edit: yep looks like they’re only reporting around 20% of cases now. Of course they are.

I honestly don’t believe that’s real. Seems too much like a Remainer caricature. But then I used to think all the Brexit morons in comment sections were bots sooo

The figure of 690 includes both pillars:

Number of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in the UK

It's not the easiest to find this information just by googling it or going on the BBC. Kind of a pain when you're just trying to find out 2 numbers
