I wrote that about the GE as a tongue in cheek remark. It's ok to close a school so people can be voted in to f*** up the education system but not ok to close a school to defend the education system.

What about the children of the parents whose education will suffer a lot more if action isn't taken against the proposed staffing cuts?
Here's details of one of the strikes.

Having been involved in the campaign, it's fair to say that there is a lot of support from parents and the wider community.

So now the "fact" you stated that the nasty tories are selling the NHS to the Americans...link please.

All this stuff about growth. Is the man on the street really seeing the effects of this.

More people employed than ever before. That may be so, lots down to more self employed, loads due to zero hours contracts (I know it suits some people). But no one ever mentions (when talking employment figures) that there is a bigger population, hence the increase in people working.

As i think Stirling said, they are not inherently bad, they just need working on. The gig economy and rise in internet businesses has changed the way we need to work as well as legislate (taxation etc). A lot of governments across the world of all political persuasions seem to be struggling with this. The answer isn't banning them out of hand but making sure that there is an element of protection too.

The initial projections assumed that the Tories would have the balls to initiate clause 50 early, but they delayed a year. Just the £52 billion pound bill for leaving the EU will dent the figures, £52 billion I don't remember mentioned when we were giving £350 million a week to the NHS.

BTW another May flip flop this time on IHT.

I take it its the independent article (dated 26th January) where it clearly states the NHS will be free.

The question put to the British people on the 8th June is:

For Chancellor, choose between:
- a PPE Oxford University graduate or,
- a BSc in Government and Politics from Brunel University

There are no other parties in this race for governance. So as snobbish as you sound (and lol, economics isn't exactly hardcore itself), the people essentially have this binary choice.

If it's all the same to you, I'll take PPE over MaoDonnell and his little red book.

Thats odd the new PM can choose anyone he/she wants her new cabinet can be entirely different.
