I'm not the one whining. You want more but have no idea how it's to be paid for. And it's not "they". The electorate, unfortunately are not prepared to pay for what they actually want. You want more, then put your hand in your pocket-oh no, you want your kids to pay for it instead.whine to Reeves not me matey.
I cannot stop what they choose to do.
She has come up with her formula that she thinks we can afford. Who am I to argue?
They are all cunts ....that's my opinion too.
I think it's under £35k.Reeves clarified the WFA will be for anyone with an income of under £30thousand, they don’t have to apply presumably as we already know by the amount of income tax paid, the inland revenue is well aware how much a pensioner exists on…..after trying to pull the worst possible stunt Reeves has relented.
The news reported £30k earlier but I checked it is £35k it’s more than pensioners could have hoped for, earlier the news reported 15% of people won’t qualify they must be the richest ones we keep hearing about.I think it's under £35k.
The lady is for turning. Revolving Rachel, it seems.
I assume you're referring to Chris Philp who, when asked at the weekend for an apology for Truss's budget, refused to do so despite being Chief Secretary to the Treasury at the time. I'm sure you'd agree that millions of homeowners paying £100s more each month on their mortgages deserves more of an apology than pensioners losing £200-£300 a year.It's not a u turn says Milliband it's a readjustment now she has found wiggle room, nothing to do with reforms gains at the locals, suddenly the money was found under Ray Ray's couch. They had coincidentally seen the light just after more people stopped voting for them.
My absolutely favourite bit of this uncomfortable car crash was the old politicians favourite get out clause(most would call it an outright embarrassing lie)
was when he was asked should they apologise to those pensioners who were very worried about not receiving this benefit:-
Well on the doorstep no one has been asking me about an apology. Yeah that's what you've been doing knocking on Beryl's door all day. Bellend.
I honestly don’t understand why she can’t just say I’m sorry, I fucked up and I’m recognising that by reversing most of the decision. She just ended up liking like a **** yesterday. Admitting you made a mistake and going back on your original decision isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of weakness to think it is.It's not a u turn says Milliband it's a readjustment now she has found wiggle room, nothing to do with reforms gains at the locals, suddenly the money was found under Ray Ray's couch.

They'd get a lot more respect from the general public if they did this.I honestly don’t understand why she can’t just say I’m sorry, I fucked up and I’m recognising that by reversing most of the decision.

Calm down, calm down! I have always said the WFA policy was poorly implemented. I happen to agree that politicians would get far more credit if they did say sorry on occasions, but unfortunately the press would just jump on it and it would be chucked in their faces for years to come. Sorry, but I didn't see the interview you refer to as the TV hasn't been switched on yet!No I was talking about Milliband Today on behalf of the current government on Breakfast but you knew that.
Laughable pathetic attempt at whataboutery to a green voter about a Tory who is no longer relevant.
Anyhow yeah he should have apologised and I would have said so if I had seen it or read it on here.
Anyhow well done on confirming you can't justify Millibands interview but rather than being honest you tried that desperate shit.
Score for you:-)
Ttfn
Very much. Another good thing to come out of it was that those who weren’t on pension credits, but were entitled, are now aware and claiming their due.So, a good decision to reinstate the WFA for those in need?
Might have been Chris Mason on Newsnight last night, but a BBC journo said that the unwillingness from politicians to say 'sorry' goes back to Nick Clegg. His apology over tuition fees was used as a very big stick for years, and no-one wants to go there again.I honestly don’t understand why she can’t just say I’m sorry, I fucked up and I’m recognising that by reversing most of the decision.

I remember Clegg getting pelters for the tuition fee u-turn, and I’m not sure the apology made those criticisms any worse. I think there was a lot of vitriol that he’d gone into government with the Tories which probably fuelled that. I don’t think the tuition fees was his biggest failure when doing the deal with the Tories. That was unquestionably his capitulation on PR which could have changed the game for the LibDems back then, and for which he’s never apologised afaik - although the result of the last general election might mean he was right all along!Might have been Chris Mason on Newsnight last night, but a BBC journo said that the unwillingness from politicians to say 'sorry' goes back to Nick Clegg.

Victoria Derbyshire seemed surprised by that, but it was presented as if everyone knows.
Was a bit odd. I don't know how much truth there is in it, but the comment in partial defence of Reeves seemed unusual. I agree with you that some things are best just putting your hands up over.

But by then it was too late. Article 50 was a timed process and had it not been for goodwill extensions then we should have left in March 2019 long before that election was even held.A nationwide opinion poll which the Tories ran with and did their own thing, refusing to listen to advice from others. That's how I remember it going down. Twas 2019 elections that gave Boris his 'mandate' to leave his way, not 2016. Lots of people forget that.
