And, relating to the small boats, Rwanda issue etc....

 

 

So this shit works. Quite why, somebody living in a shithole like land locked Stoke on Trent blames their circumstances on small boat asylum seekers is quite something. But the tories will continue to swhip up wedge issues and hatgred while the country goes down the pan. There are far too many stupid people. And it is blatently obvious to me that if 1930s Germany had happened here, the outcome would have been the same.

There’s a certain demographic, let’s call them - just about every white person over the age of 45 who still buys a newspaper. They all read the Daily Mail, they all believe it and they all vote. Slight exaggeration but you probably get my point

Let's get @Dr Gloomin here and kick the everloving fuck out of him about this. 

[Alex 35083]

Before it all came out I was suggesting this about the BBC before the last general election and I think most people on here were largely sceptical about the institutional bias. But the fucking scale of it is, well, off the fucking scale. If you look at something like Brexit, it’s still the biggest brake in a faltering economy and it still barely gets a mention. That’s if it gets a mention at all. In relation to everything from supermarket supply chain issues, to the NHS labour shortage and the massive knock on effects for overall productivity, exporters, manufacturers, etc., etc. The BBC have played a massive role in this gaslighting of the entire population and are a major reason why even a Labour Party looking at a potential 300 seat + majority are scared to even mention the huge problems being outside the Single Market is causing.

 Can someone explain to me how extending free childcare to 1 & 2 year olds will get people back into work?

 

Nurseries are currently at capacity. All the 1 & 2 year olds attending nursery have parents who are already in work. Yes, it's a bonus that they don't have to pay anymore, but it doesn't help the parents who gave up work as they couldn't afford childcare bills?

It’s the same as how tinkering with tax rules is going to stop GPs / doctors from taking early retirement. I.e. they’ve not currently doing it because they’re going to be a bit better off in the long run. They’re doing it because they can afford to and they’ve had enough. The changes won’t alter that. 
Re: your specific point, there’s a labour shortage and close to full employment. Any small changes aren’t going to impact the root causes 

[ewerk 30616]

I think it goes hand in hand with the plan to allow one worker for every five children rather than every four. That move should (in theory) boost capacity by 25%.

However, the theory doesn't necessarily take into account how much effort is needed to look after a one year old compared to a four year old.

That fucking tory tweet with Braverman's prologue is a fucking disgrace. It's overty fascist in my opinion, and combined with the blatant lying about Labour we have come to expect from this government. Sir Michael Take's mockery of it doesn't cheer me up, because most people won't see it and anyway satire is dead, he could well be a real tory back bencher like Gullis. It really shouldn't be legal for the home secretrary to do this, and yet they have the fucking brass neck to try and censor Gary Lineker. 

 

I think I officially detest Braverman the most of any in that rancid party, which is some stiff competition. From the day she came on the scene, she just struck me as evil incarnate. I had believed she was too stupid to advance to the upper positions of power but Johnson has normalised incompetence and here we are. Starting to despair we can ever get out of this now.

The tories are only doing this to give them the soundbites to cut off Philipson's policies imo. It'll help them in some interviews or debates but do fuck all to stop the rot.

I can start a match thread for the next general election, Rents, if you want to get a Labour win locked in now? Do not despair.

He's said something about it.  But not said he will take him on legally

He’s only 32  

 

An ex teacher, honestly if you were confronted by this fuckin strap on at a parents evening you’d put a safeguarding request in . UK & US both have cunts like this as lawmakers now. It beggars belief..  

[Gemmill 44894]

He should lose his seat at the next election and I would hope that he has zero chance of walking back into a teaching job after the way he's behaved. 

 

I can see Asda Ace in his future.
