  1.  @kimwit1307  Interesting! How do they square their "Britannia rules the waves, we're a world leader" rhetoric with being a pariah kicked off the UN security council?

  2. Rather than obsess about small boats, let's stop the yachts!

  3. @well well  it is to some people - they say we should have a healthcare system like France or Germany. You then reply "so we should pay similar taxes like France and Germany?" and suddenly they didn't mean what they said about being like France and Germany!

  4. No, and apparently that makes us bullies, for wanting the person who turned up to talk Brexit positives, to be able to say something positive about Brexit 🙄

  5. 🤞

  6. More austerity? No thanks! The way out of recession is to borrow and invest, not cut

  7.  @philiphaley5414  not that it doesn't matter, but that it's credible to believe it's an oversight If you paid half the normal rate, nobody would believe you didn't notice anything odd, but you could easily miss 1k in all the large figures that are involved in property sales, especially if all your brokers and agents say everything's ok

  8. So true. There should be two choices - do you want to see it privately before you announce anything (and it stays private if plans change) or it's published publicly with the policy announcement No other choice should be on the table

  9. and at the risk of reopening angry debate, we did have global influence when we had seats at the EU table...

  10. The common ground between McVey and Cameron is this - they are there for superficial appearances, but will actually do little to nothing

  11. Liz Truss: Hold my beer!

  12. Having a different point of view is not bullying
    11
  13. Looks like the invisible hand is giving the public an invisible finger...

  14. ​@jamjam2833 so let's play along with your idea that the EU is collapsing The Brexit "benefit" is we get to collapse faster than they are? 🤔

  15. @John Russell  Their payback is awfully decent really - coming here and being key workers, and paying taxes. Rather different to what the UK did the other way around!
    11
  16. ​@TG-ts3xn why? If you want to work long hours for low pay, you can volunteer for that without dragging the rest of us into it!

  17. It's obvious that they were hiding and hoping the problem would go away It's only when they realised they could be days away from the most horrific and tragic headlines that they panicked themselves into action
    11
  18. If you have this vital evidence, why aren't you taking it to the police?
    11
  19. ​@chatham43 they have a plan, however it's (rightly) not a top 5 priority
    10
  20. Yes! Let's raise the best of all of us to positions of responsibility and influence, rather than restricting ourselves to the best (least worst?) of the 1%

  21.  @bugcatcherwade9048  normal countries are part of their local trading bloc. By leaving ours, we're the most un-normal country in the world right now!
    10
  22. Definitely peanuts when we are talking house prices 😮
    10
  23. Obsessed with standards on strike days, but only vague jam tomorrow ideas about the travesty on normal days 🙁
    10
  24.  @johnsinclair2672  it's why they don't want to increase wages. They don't want people having any money beyond bare sustenance - gives ordinary people too much freedom

  25.  @llewev  If you can't run your business without subsidies, it's not a business! If it's an essential service, then it should be run as a public service without shareholders, and if it isn't essential then you need to accept it's a hobby, not a business and stop expecting the taxpayer to subsidise your hobby!

  26. But Tories love free markets and competition, don't they? They should be proud to see their ideology in action 😆
    10
  27. I look forward to Labour agreeing completely, and renegotiating/dropping them as fast as diplomatically possible!
    10
  28. ​ @Neilhuny  if they laugh at Dorries, my regard for them goes even higher!
    10
  29. Rishi did, but unfortunately the Tory membership weren't listening 🙁
    10
  30. so Nurses aren't allowed hobbies or breaks 😳
    10
  31.  @Tao_Tology  she was asked what she would do, so she whined and played the victim The actions are the answer!
    10
  32.  @Truerealism747  There is no way Labour would ever do anything close to the Kamikwasi mini budget!
    10
  33. Didn't they expand the exemptions for small businesses? If you're small, you're exempt from 5k's worth - that will be raised to just over 10k next year
    10
  34. ​ @Lee_303 if people are only Tories to line their own pockets, then it says it all really
    10
  35. From the Tory perspective, the only value Truss has, is as a scapegoat to load all the blame on Expect the Tories to blame Truss for as much as they can, up to and including the weather!
    10
  36. Upvoted and commented for support. This needs to be seen by as many people as possible!
    10
  37. We should shut them down. Not by banning them, but simply by ignoring them til they go out of business
    10
  38. Is it softer than the rusty rebar barely holding up the school roof?
    10
  39. ​ @arthurharrison7675 most of us want a brighter future than turnips and cap doffing. When did our great nation of explorers become so timid and insular?

  40. This isn't an endorsement, but at least the boat gangs are competent and able to deliver on their promises!

  41.  @luckystripe672  Let's talk cost of living. There's going to be some tough choices made in government soon When Boris says "I have done all I can to ease the cost of living" does he really mean it, or does he mean "I briefly looked at it before disappearing off to play dress-up at another photoshoot then spend the night getting bladdered" Trust is important when someone is telling you there's nothing that can be done to keep the heating on next winter!

  42.  @mathewgurney2033  how far back are you thinking for that traditional functional state? Victorian workhouses maybe?

  43. ​ @richardgallagher4880  Free markets work pretty well. Shame capitalism keeps corrupting them
    9
  44. ​ @BrockSamson-i1i well, anyone who voted for Brexit on economic grounds is bad at economics - truly Liz Truss levels of bad
    9
  45.  @tonyb9735  so we really need to raise the average!
    9
  46.  @stephenglasse9756  If Liz and Kwasi are such experts, why is the economy on fire right now?
    9
  47. It's a terrible false economy too. Today's children are tomorrow's citizens. What kind of country can we hope to have if we cut corners on education?
    9
  48. ​ @chrisj9700 so we need to encourage more hospital staff, teachers and builders to come here?
    9
  49. The quiet bit is if you have done a lot wrong, you do have to hide. They live by that principle all the time!

  50. and this was one of those unelected Lords! The cheek that he calls the EU undemocratic
