Politics in the UK is very poor.
Politics in the UK is very poor.Id wish Labour lost just to shake up the local party a bit. But the Tories Lib Dem’s and Greens locally are just as bad if not worse. Cov politics is very poor.
I'd actually like to see his views on this again after the last election. Isn't he all for scapping our new nukes?Corbyn is a dangerous terrorist who shouldn’t be put in charge of the military as he’s a pacifist.
I can. That is why I say for the first time ever I might not vote.That’s fine. But you can’t elect no one.
How many others plan what Farage says he wants?Farage wants election 'alliance' with Tories
Ah, that plan of the Tories and BXP not colluding lasted long.
And back in reality...Waiting for Corbyn and Abbots first trade deal. Its with Hamas, i believe.
We ll have more money tho as they re abolishing all armed forces, curbing any Police powers, allowing unfettered immigration and having the first ISIS member of parliament. Oh and the Monarchy and the National Anthem.
One, Donald Trump endorsed this leave alliance on Farage's radio showHow many others plan what Farage says he wants?
Is this parody or just casual racism... who knows anymore.Waiting for Corbyn and Abbots first trade deal. Its with Hamas, i believe.

So a pair of twats agree on something.One, Donald Trump endorsed this leave alliance on Farage's radio show

We ll have more money tho as they re abolishing all armed forces, curbing any Police powers, allowing unfettered immigration and having the first ISIS member of parliament. Oh and the Monarchy and the National Anthem.
And even so its not as if the average billionaire has their money sat in a standard current account or post office. They already keep their money offshore
Interesting, not least because BXP sent an email out last week saying why Boris's deal "isn't the Brexit you voted for".Farage wants election 'alliance' with Tories

NB I had the email forwarded to me - i am not a member of the UXB party, or whatever they're called!

Business tax cuts do very little, if nothing, for job creation.
Kansas in the US abolished business taxes saying it would lead to huge job creation. It didn't. It created none. When asked why the employers said "I've got as many workers as I need so why would I spend money employing people I don't need". So instead the state had a massive budget deficit from lost tax earnings. They've since repealed those cuts and are performing better.
Fact is some places see better economic performance and job creation after tax cuts, others don't. In scientific tests that would lead to the conclusion that there is no direct causality between the two or at best it is other related economic factors that make the difference. You can cut taxes all you want but if the market conditions don't require more employment then you ain't gonna get more employment.
More graphs. Real wage growth since 2008, only Mexico and Greece lower in the OECD.
No doubt someone will tell me this is also Labour’s fault

Didn’t know that about Kansas SBD ! Interesting example
The wider point I was making across various posts was that the economy is far from straight forward and there are a variety of factors. Whilst Kansas may not have seen any direct benefits from be removal of business tax’s, if a company needed staff but wasnt making sufficient profits to justify one, a reduction in business tax may help with this.
Wages are a resource cost.
ps also, nobody can tell me that a reduction in business rates wouldn’t help many businesses on the high st, thereby at least securing (even if not increasing) employment.
The main point with a lot of this argument is if a business isn’t profitable the state or its employees shouldn’t be subsidising it unless it has clear social value. The benefits of capitalism only appear if you allow bad businesses to fail.
High street shops are a good example. Consumer habits are hurting the high street, people have decided they’d prefer to shop online. Why should the state prop up something the market doesn’t value?
What to do with high streets and which businesses have social value is an important debate to have, and it may be that the answer is some for of taxpayer support. But that’s a very different conversation.
There’s also the issue of not all jobs are good jobs that allow employees to be active consumers and customers of other businesses. Retail generally is low paid with little progression opportunities. And as I say long term most retail jobs will be automated away.
If you want good jobs, you create an environment which produces high skilled workers with a positive regulatory environment and a healthy market of consumers with money to spend. That’s investment in infrastructure, education and research and decent pay. Which is Labours policy platform
Medical student 'pushed aside by Boris Johnson aide' when she tried to confront PM about NHS
Ha ha ha. Pushed out the way by an aide for asking a question.
Stick to the primary schools Boris, five year olds have less chance of asking you meaningful questions which means you’re in your safe environment of not needing to give meaningful answers.
I voted leave in 2016, and i still think being free of the shackles of federalism in Europe would be good for the UK as a whole. The problem is that Corbyn, Spurgeon, et al have only *opposed*, and while their suggestions of remaining in the single market and customs union (i.e. the European Economic Community that we signed up to in 1973) are quite acceptable to many, they have failed to work with the government to try to get that into a deal. I would certainly be supportive of that approach, but frankly i am so pissed off with the lot of them that i don't actually care if we leave or not anymore - just make it go away so the government can make decisions on frankly more important domestic and international issues!Seems his play is “Abandon your deal and well stand down”. Can’t see it working TBH. Great news for me as a Remainer.

The government have never given them the chance to have this as an option.while their suggestions of remaining in the single market and customs union (i.e. the European Economic Community that we signed up to in 1973) are quite acceptable to many, they have failed to work with the government to try to get that into a deal.
Can’t argue with most of that final para to be fair Shmmeee! Labour needs to ensure it is still encouraging business though...as without them, there isn’t going to be much employment going on !!!
The government have never given them the chance to have this as an option.
There were a couple that came close. The sensible option would have been to take the three most popular options, and debate them properly, try and find a consensus. Instead, government ploughed its furrow - mainly to appease ERG mentalists.I wish something more had come from the "indicative votes" a way back. I think that was the closest the House ever got to a sensible consensus, but there was never really any time given for meaningful debate on any of the alternative options.
Ironically, May would have probably still been in charge if she'd exerted any control over her own party!
