Renton 21114 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) How do you spell windfall tax? Was that "exceptional profits levy" I just heard from Sunak? These lot are so shameless and predictable. Edit, sorry, you spell it "temporary targeted energy profits levy".

Renton 21114 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Canny red wall bribe that like, £650 per household for 9 million qualifying for UC. Fair enough to those that need it I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Braverman in response to Thornberry this morning, in the commons, the birth place of democracyTM (Braverman has been leaking her legal opinions on NI to the press). Yop notch debating there Suella. Standard now from the conservatives. Yeah but they're all the same, Renton. I'm not really that into politics. I used to be, around 2017/2019 (I'm not sure which), but it's all a bit old hat now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree with you, ffs Labour, use this as a platform to get PR in. I know they won't. I don't really understand why, I never have.

There’s a fair few of them on there also still think Corbyn’s the answer too though so make of that what you will. Also, I don’t see any other explanation. Like Renton says it’s undemocratic. But as well as that history suggests FPTP usually ends up with a Tory majority. Do they occasionally want power or do they want to stop these lot from wrecking the country. Fwiw, I could see the logic of previous Tory administrations even if i rarely agreed with them. The stakes are higher than ever now though and it feels like a watershed moment.
