Can't they honour the triple lock and still have a signed death warrant?

Obviously it was floated to gauge reaction and quickly dropped.

I can't believe Truss was still going on about protecting people from energy prices when the protection's been cut from 2 years to 6 months.

No one picked her up on that, she kept repeating it as a victory when in reality we could be facing some horrific bills this time next year.

Absolutely doesn’t in my experience.

A few months ago I was given an agency contract to sign, by default I was expected to contract out of 48 hour limit, there was no option to choose it was just a standard term of the contract.

I didn't sign it and didn't approach the agency.

I'm not sure the experience of a senior financial services worker is as of much relevance to the Tories' evil plan as those of the workers at the bottom.

If people in finance want to voluntarily work themselves into an early grave because of their own addiction to their job or greed, that's their own business.
 
If this goes badly we might have a new PM by Monday.

There’s a lot of MPs who will lose their jobs if they vote in favour of fracking.

Personally, I think she went off script and went against what Hunt (and the Cabinet) wanted to do, which is keep all options open including pensions.

At some point they may have backtracked, but it makes little sense to box yourself in at this stage. It’s not as if the public can be any more enraged at the Govt then they are right now, so Hunt might as well take the heat for it early on.

That is insane. Can’t see this getting to a vote on these terms. The Govt may be barking mad, but there has to be a limit, surely?

…waiting for the inevitable reply :)

Lisa Nandy just handed Steve Baker and the Tories their arses, pity Perry Mason can't do the same.

Watched that and thought she was great. The BBC crew were shitting it as usual but Steve Baker needs to be watched to be believed. That is one scary mindset typical of the 'new' Tory party. No shame and no realisation of current reality ... Instead, quoting policies from 1911 and potential impact in 2044.... I kid you not...

I’m in mining these days mate, proper man’s work. Bankers can work all the hours god sends for all I care, the fannies ;)

I do agree that it’s there to protect those workers from unscrupulous bosses who have less options to tell them to poke it - and as such I believe it should remain. Removing it will have zero impact on GDP but could make life less enjoyable for a section of workers.
 
Govt abstained on economy responsibility, lost, so has to produce reports to parliament.
 
Rees Mogg's amendment on fracking is to delay further consideration until the government has worked out what they meant when they said it would need local consent.
 
I suspect Hunt has told Truss she’s not getting a second series, ala Alan Partridge, and will have to make changes, so she’ll be running around sacking people for ridiculous reasons: ‘and who left this coffee cup here?’
 





Shits going down tonight, looks like quite a few Tory's will be going against the whip and voting against fracking tonight. Senior tories too and I can't imagine Truss has the sort of backing to remove them.
