The Politics Thread

[Hoboh]

Nicky Morgan - Tory Education Secretary...

"What was really noticeable on Monday during the EU statement was that Jeremy Corbyn's top button was not done up, his tie wasn't straight,"

Dave Cameron - Prime Minister... (quoting what he reckoned his mother would say to Corbyn)

"put on a proper suit, do up your tie and sing the national anthem"


is this what the level of political debate has come down to?

back benchers are always going to heckle - that's bad enough - but from the PM and front-bench cabinet members? labour is as bad as Tory in this respect - except - not Corbyn... despite sustained personal attacks and jibes, he has remained relatively calm and not retaliated in kind as far as I have heard...

Don't talk wet!

It's because he hasn't a clue in that scruffy old head of his what to say unless the 'brothers' programme him first!

You tell 'em Hobes, you big bully boy you! oh you!

What? you don't think he represents us old tramps?
In appearance anyways.

The agenda of the loonies in education is getting fecking ridiculous, and the Nazi attitude of the SS police needs investigating.

If that story is accurate, that's outrageous

I expect there must be more to it. The father, an UKIP supporter, may have exaggerated. The school may have more than just that to have called 101 (never heard of that number before). However, on the face of it, it does appear outrageous.

101 is to take pressure off 999. Doesn't work properly of course.

Didn't take long for Labour to feel left out by all the skulduggery going on did it?

[thebish]

meanwhile - UKIP are busy storming the bastions of power at what should be the a high-point of their appeal - the midst of an EU in/out referendum ...

Another council by-election result, following a recent pattern of big percentage gains for The Labour Party in the North West:

Bloomfield (Blackpool) result:
LAB: 57.6% (+12.8 )
CON: 19.2% (-0.6)
UKIP: 15.1% (-10.0)
GRN: 4.1% (-4.6)
LDEM: 4.0% (+4.0)

Woo I'm getting a tax cut I don't need feck you disabled people! Cheers Gideon.

Osbourne's budget looks pretty good to me. Only smokers appear to be worse off as a result. I quite like that the upper tax threshold will rise from £42,385 to £45,000. Well done, George.

Anything I get to keep from what I earn works for me. I still think that the UTL is set way too low though.

It's been lowered over the years which when you take inflation into account is some major fiscal drag, plus I'll be a few hundred quid better off as a result. However, I would rather he kept it if it meant not cutting the disability benefit by £30 a week.
