Will people please fuck off with entertaining the Boldon Dome.

And while we're at it, McDonnell saying what you guys want an 'effective' opposition to say:

This morning, Philip Hammond may have performed a U-turn on investment spending, admitting that the failed ‘long-term economic plan’ never really existed, and he still intends to go ahead with cuts to in-work benefits and local authority funding.

Labour is now the only national party with a fiscal framework that supports patient, long-term investment in our economy, and it’s clear that Phillip Hammond is now borrowing from Labour to invest in his own speech. As well as abandoning their own fiscal charter, this was full of the same empty promises George Osborne made, only with worse gags.

The chancellor should apologise today for the failed Tory approach that has meant he has had to abandon the failed economic agenda of the last six years, an approach which has seen them dragging their heels on tax avoidance, an increase in child poverty and housebuilding falling to its lowest peacetime rate since the 1920s. The dangerous divide in society the chancellor mentioned has come about as a direct result of the policies he has voted for since 2010.

That's fair enough. Though I look forward still to Corbyn ko-ing May in the next PMQ regarding this.

[Renton 22230]

It's not, it's like me coming to your gym and asking people to stop laughing at you for having an anal prolapse on the leg press.

Great, now I'm mentally scarred.

Well, we'll have to see I guess. Fingers crossed he does a good job of it.

[Rayvin 5441]

Believe it or not, I do think CT adds to the discussion in here. As infuriating as it is to argue with him (as he moves around, changes his mind depending on which way the wind is blowing and refuses to concede any point, ever) he does add a different viewpoint which I think is important in avoiding echo chambers.

 

I would prefer a less infuriating version of CT, but still

The national debt increases by about £1.4b a week and hit an all time high of £96b in April of this year (i.e. for the previous financial year). This represents a 'decrease'?

You're confusing national debt with the budget deficit. Very different things

CT lite

 

Never

every board needs its wind up merchant - a figure to poke fun at - or it turns into a ghost town. 

[Rayvin 5441]

For a board of our size, that may well be true - although we're active enough I reckon. Something of a niche community, but it's the right size IMO.

it was dead one summer when CT flounced. the alternative to CT's wummery is even more terrifying to some. remember fish's questions of the day? 

[Rayvin 5441]

 

I do - they weren't so bad tbf, but there was a lot of criticism too I guess

Listen, let's not get too distracted by the Ginger twins moaning about me in a thread I delivered into this world 6 years ago.

 

That's right, like a 19th century missionary in darkest Africa, I created a sanctuary for political deliberations.

 

It's also a bit rich when the moaners are people who usually have very little interest in politics.

 

Would I wander into the guitar thread and mock Toms chords or set foot in the cricket thread to comment on whatever happens in there. Of course not.

 

Back on topic please.

Aye and look what religion has done for Africa. Full of AIDS. Like this thread.

Now that he's out of the cabinet we can finally get to know the real Michael Gove. And he's much worse that we thought.

[Rayvin 5441]

 

I'd forgotten about Gove. Really pleased he isn't in the cabinet actually, he's an appalling human being.

[Gemmill 46749]

Him and his wife seem like they would leave a residue on any surface they touched.

[Dr Gloom 22343]

That is literally the worst thing on TV at the moment

Surely we can all agree the extra 1500 a year medical places is good?

It'll be nice to have an extra 1500 bodies on the picket line against Hunt.

[Gemmill 46749]

Aye. Fucking hell he is a stupid cunt. Alienates the next generation of homegrown doctors then announces he plans to curb the number of imported doctors. Sounds like a great plan perfectly executed, Jeremy, you arsehole.
