The Labour Government

Have we got any positives to take from this government yet other than it's nice to see a toolmakers son do good?

Well since they’ve been in Gundogan and Oasis are back!

If anything I always thought “death” tax should go up as you say house prices have significantly risen

Surely you mean allowances should go up? The intention when the £325k limit was introduced was that parents should be able to pass on their home to their children. So if house prices have risen, then the tax free limit should rise with it, as indeed it has done.

Unless there is a deliberate change of policy to say that parents should NOT be able to pass on their home to their children.

On average there are 41 knife crimes and stabbings in London PER DAY. It would seem that whilst bad for those involved, the carnival doesn't significantly, if at all, increase the normal numbers.

I think the proportion of stabbings in that overall knife crime figure would be useful to know.

Winner winner Chicken dinner.

His father's occupation is extremely apposite.

Bit too soon to suggest Labour couldn’t run a piss up in a brewery and they will waste extra income

It's a view I have of ALL governments. I am not making a party-political stance.

Absolutely, Tory scum out

I'm just waiting to see what he means when he says "The broadest shoulders" will take the biggest burden.

Looks like Tories out and Tories back in again, slogans and more slogans with no change whatsoever.

He has reaffirmed that income tax, NI and VAT will not be increased for working people

18% of the UK population are over 65 - 11 million pensioners - that's probably broad enough for his purposes.

As I said, no change then?

Would be interesting to hear what you think they could have done in such a short timeframe and whether you feel the Tories left them in a decent position

note "working" - doesn't include 'have worked all their adult lives and are now retired".

Not sure what your point is

Come on. Do you really think the OAP population can contribute the deficit?

So where's he getting the money from then?

I want him to be more specific as to who is going to suffer? There will always be a timescale and an excuse to be made.

We have already had claims of cronyism and Labour punching down, the Tories left them with shit yes but it looks and feels like this lying bastard is just carrying that on.

Not sure what your point is

There isn't any change but there's a promise that those with broad shoulders will shoulder the burden, who is it going to get tougher for?

Cut through the slogans, what does he mean?
