I see the sectarian pacts have returned to Northern Ireland for both sides.

Farage is now beginning to annoy me when we need to get this done in the hardest brexit we know is possible, which is as hard as Camembert. But then ultimately I remind myself that the effects of EU membership or links to the EU will be limited, apart from now and then or when I hear of more people losing the chance of a decent life because of freedom of movement not long before automation and the financial problems that will bring.

I'm leave, but quite relaxed that some may have a problem with the withdrawal agreement - it is not possible to please everyone. Messing around just delays the trade deal process, which to me is Brexit.

Successive Conservative governments have failed to deliver a single new “starter home” despite promising to build 200,000 by 2020, Whitehall’s spending watchdog has found.

The party’s 2015 manifesto committed to building the homes across England to be sold exclusively to first-time buyers under the age of 40, to help young people take their first step on the property ladder.

The National Audit Office (NAO) said that, to date, no such homes have been built because the government has not budgeted for them or activated all of the necessary legislation.

You could do better yourself buying some bricks and windows.

Staggering incompetence.

I also remember George Osborne banging on about reducing the deficit. That seemed to go away, surprisingly too. I'm starting to think Mr. Fawkes was onto something

The loony Liberal leader made a rather daft comment yesterday when she was complaining that ITV had excluded her from the party leaders debate as she said that young girls needed role models and needed to see that women can become Prime Ministers. Has she forgotten about Theresa May already?

The budgets are there and they have built some part own part rent on some of the land.
A lot of time has been spent on another subject in the HOC.
I think incompetence might rear its head slightly higher above the parapet if labour get in.

It's a tricky one because it's not much different to the deal from May that was derided for by all of sundry, so in a way I can understand what he's saying and he's right when it comes down to it. Though at the same time, I get the argument that voting for the Brexit may not exactly be helpful in this election. So there's a difficult balance of principle and practicality and I can see both sides of it.

.... let alone Margaret Thatcher! Who could forget the Iron Lady - now that's a role model.

The frustration over certain party politics is that it seems to set out to help the minority.
Ie lib dems going on about the 1 in 5 families in poverty. Which if you compare to real poverty isnt but that's IMO.
Labour going on about the 'working class'
about 1 in 7
Anyhow what about the other 4 in 5 not in 'poverty'
Or the other 6 in 7 not working class
Dont they count. Policies and changes affect all of us.
Not just these groups.
The perception seems that if your not in a certain group you dont matter?

I find the Swinson woman extremely entertaining on the news. The thought of any semblance of power has put her in a delusional state.. Why do the LibDems always seem to attract oddballs?
