I’m not contradicting anything. Any one making the argument for not putting VAT on private school fees put all the onus on VAT being the straw that broke the camels back with putting no weight on the cost of living crisis facing all working families including those that send their kids to...

It’s not just energy though is it. Food bills up something like 30% over 18 months. That isn’t going down, inflation might be coming down but prices don’t, they just don’t go up as fast so that 30% will always be that 30% uplift. It was actually their mortgage hike that broke them. It doesn’t...

I have friends who took their 2 kids out of private school when their energy bills doubled, their weekly shop went up 30% over the course of a few months and then their mortgage payments went through the roof. No one was blaming government policy for that. Maybe if the government didn’t crash...

Pretty sure people who don’t send their kids to private school are every bit as aspirational as those who do. It’s a bit patronising to suggest that only people who send their kids to private schools are aspirational. The government will raise £3000 a year on every child that goes to private...

Ha ha ha ha. At last, a Brexit benefit https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-labour-private-school-tax-raid-legal-challenge-b2553088.html What do we want? A sovereign parliament free from EU interference. When do we want it? When it doesn’t benefit the plebs.

Also why is all the blame put on VAT as to why they can’t afford private school? It will equate to about an extra £60 a week on average. How much has there weekly food bill risen in the last few years? How much has their energy bill risen in the last few years? How much has their mortgage...

I see Liz Truss’ grift to far right has took another leap. Appearing on Lotus Eaters a far right conspiracy theory platform. What’s the betting on her being the next leader of the Conservative Party. An observation that a commentator made yesterday was that all the Tories might have left after...

The weakness with Abbott was waiting until now to reinstate her given the inquiry was apparently completed in December and also the decision to not let her stand at the GE. It shows an inability to make decisions to have let it drag on so long when you clearly only had 2 options, either let her...

Latest yougov poll and a poll of polls The poll of polls is probably about as accurate as you can get at this stage which hasn’t really changed in months and has consistently had Labour with a 20 point lead. Of course the polls can’t account for what people do when it comes putting a cross in...

Sounds that way. Apparently the investigation into her was concluded in December. If you were being cynical you’d say that they were running the clock down hoping that she walks away from politics but have been caught out with the shock GE

Diane Abbot has been reinstated back into the Labour Party.

It’s almost as if Sunak is actively encouraging the young to vote.

Outgoing Tory MP for Telford is endorsing the Reform candidate to replace her.

This is why they won’t to open coal mines again. They want 3 year old kiddies digging coal… and 4 year old kiddies… digging coal as well as the 3 year olds.

I mean why not bring back national service. The tories have already brought back scurvy, rickets and a whole host of other Victorian era illnesses. Fuck it, bring back workhouses too. So long as the plebs know their place.

I do wonder if Sunak is doing everything he can to lose his own seat. What’s the betting if he does win his seat there’s a by-election within a year due to his resignation as an MP.

James Cleverly doing the rounds this morning. If you dont do the military aspect of national service and take the civil aspect the civil aspect is unpaid. It will be compulsory to do national service but it won’t be a criminal offence to refuse to do it. It’s got more holes than Swiss cheese, a...

He’s gone full scattergun. Throwing enough culture war bullshit hoping it sticks. It’s like he’s gone to a gammon convention and asked them what they think should happen, got out his bingo card and ticked off what the loudest frothers have shouted out. I wouldn’t be surprised if national service...

So you’re voting for the only party with a rejoin the EU policy. Interesting. How long have you been a bregreter?
