Question Time

I don't know what Burnham was on about ("all TPE services from Leeds to Manchester cancelled this morning"). One early service cancelled, everything else ran.

Yes - I live in North Yorkshire mate - a Tory strong hold for years - everyone hates them - from farmers to fishermen who have been immensely let down to people who live in market towns where they grew up and can't afford to live there. In Middlesbrough tonight ( was in the old North Riding ) a Mitsubishi owned chemicals plant has announced its closing down - egg producers are fucked because those who are free range and they can't do that now coz all their birds are indoors and they blame the lack of vets to check flocks and pig farmers have slaughtered thousands of pigs for the same reason - safe seats here are toxic for them now. The Redcar Tory gets pelters daily as does the former Chief Sec to the Treasury Simon Clarke. I don't think that they will be down to 6 MP's as was possible on the numbers but the degree of the overturn of the 80 seat majority of 2019 - now lower than that - to what they will end up with will be historic

Well that assuring. Can’t wait until election night. Popcorn and enough whisky to get me through the night watching the bastards fall!

Also I was holidaying in North Yorkshire in Sunak’s constituency in the summer. It smelt of Toryism!

Tonight we are asking why are so many working aged middle aged people not working.

I'll tell you why Fiona from a personal point of view. I have worked hard for 40 + years - I have a house that I own outright because house prices were not a commodity to exploit for massive gain - I have 2 lucrative workplace pensions that provide me with a generous lump sum and a small but workable monthly income. I can get by and have no need nor interest to go back to work not least because I don't want to try and bale these fuckers out. I am a leftie who has benefitted from what were Conservative values longs since abandoned by the Conservatives and that were also supported by the left - workplace pensions and union representation are examples - the Tories have broken this country in 12 short years and why people like me should try and help fix their mess when they are hell bent on making it worse any way.

Same for me. I'm not receiving the state pension yet, but I have enough set by to stick two fingers up to the cunts that want me to earn £1 while they pocket thousands.

Due consideration should be given to a number of points raised by audience members, such as those that can't work because their conditions which prevent them from doing so are not being treated by the NHS, and the cost of child care prevents many from working, as it's cheaper as a couple for one of them to stay at home, but the failure of their policies over the last 12 years by grinding everyone down uner the mantra of 'austerity' has run its course.

It was interesting when one of the panelists said public sector pay had fallen by 30% in real terms since 2010, because that's an absolute reflection of the decline in the rate of growth of the economy since the tories took over, and as for the bloke advocating growth as the only way forward for people to increase their standards of living, he was a prime mover for Brexit which has had a devastating effect on our economy, reducing investment that will have long term consquences for all of us.

We are being led by idiots.
 
Question 1 - How do we get more economically inactive people inti work? Well stop fucking public transport so they can get to out of the way workplaces suchj as many of the farms that can't get cheap labour. I know that's a generalisation, but not everybody has access to transport.

Whilst agreeing with much of the above, I'm sorry but " Idiots " doesn't really explain the situation, as the Tories are just out and out liars and who refuse to accept the dreadful effect Brexit has had upon our country.

Ruled by the ERG these cunts are clinging on to the lies and propaganda which was the thrust of their leave campaign.

The cunts like Boris, JRM, Marc Francois , are the insidious centre of this terrible government and are ruining the lives of so many.

I suspect that many of them would be facing prison sentences for their un-descovered crimes if they weren't able to hide behind being members of Parliament.

These selfish and self-obsessed bastards are ruining the lives of so many for the sake of self preservation .

A decade of austerity, a pandemic, an aging population, and a long underfunded NHS have resulted in many people becoming economically inactive. Getting such people (many of whom are older and who have underlying physical and mental health problems) back into work, most likely part time work, will only help the Government massage its figures. It will not in itself encourage economic growth.
 
Olivia Utley - member of the Parish of GB News - allowed to push the idea its not funding the NHS is broke and needs privatising line but is unchallenged meanwhile Tory MP David T C Davies says he doesn't have any truck with the Anglican Church because its "too left wing" ????
