We’ve clearly got different tastes
Think it’s already known that she’s not all that.
A blip I think.
Also not sure it is completely correct to spin it as Corbyn’s first victory either. There was significant cross-post concern about it, and I believe that it was a Lib Dem motion in The Lords that has sent it back to The Commons. I’m sure it will (and perhaps should) be spun as a Corbyn victory though.
Ironically, if the vote had passed it would have been more damaging to the Tories; making the hard working poor, poorer. But as much as I’d like to see the Tories out of power, I’ve got to welcome something that will stop people from worrying about how to pay bills.
You’re obviously into beards…
My observations for all this:
The current proposals go too far in the sense that there should be some sort of transitional process - You can’t just turn off the tap.
All changes to the tax credit system were going to be unpopular - it the tories had watered them down from the off, they would still face opposition. Maybe they went for the worst possible scenario knowing that they had room to gve a bit and still get what they wanted whilst taken a bit of flak now.
Labour should have been murdering the Tories over this - I think they have given the Tories an easier ride than the tories could ever have hoped for.

Quite. If they can phase in or limit policy because it helps business ( e.g. minimum wage increases ), then they should be doing the same for people.

I don’t agree with the principle of Tax Credits. Employers should pay a full living wage to anyone 18 and over. What we’ve got is a gutless government that has had its policy rejected by many of its own members.

What else should they have done that they didn’t do? The issue has been campaigned for since it was raise. The Tories just lost.
For me it’s not even the subject matter, it’s the fact that the PM can blatantly lie to get votes and thinks that no one will notice.
Thatcher did it, Blair did it, and the voters still herded into Polling Stations to support them.
And sadly, this uncaring attitude to the weakest in society is what most people voted for.
It’s called democracy - but it isn’t pretty.
Don’t get old, don’t get ill, and whatever you do, don’t fall on hard times.
Are they bollocks they are a shower of cunts, they are the cheap brass at the end of the bar with a dose.
Best looiking girl at the bar maybe Cherts, but as we know, the best loking are to often leave you dissapointedm as they tend to be a narcistic, self absorbed and generaly the beauty is superficial, often with a vacuous or mean-spirited core…
Enough about me lets move on…
Thats what comes of doing late night stints - the Mps don’t have time to go home and get changed before they go out
Sickening and I hate the bastards, whilst benefits should not subsidise cheap labour there is no gaurantee that the market will pick up the difference, in fact why would they when the economy is shrinking, labour fucked up but these bastards are doing it for ideological reasons, utter cunts.
Why do you think the economy is shrinking (still)? IMF forecast is for 2.5% growth in the UK.
Well growth is lower than forecast
I prefer the IMF in the Mission Impossible films. They save countries, not fuck them up.
Not shrinking though
