Standards are standards regardless of the amounts in question. If we start to maintain standards based on whether people are deemed working class, or the amounts involved are more than somebody else's in past government then where does that leave us? Even a dyed-in-the-wool red can see her position is untenable - please take your blinkers off.

Imagine picking two examples of people that lost their jobs off the back of a ''scandal'' to back someone else justifying not losing their job.

Not for me and you, but if you are a lawyer advising the deputy PM it is.

Not jailed but she should resign. She's got to find another £40K too

She's admitted it and falls back on legal advice - this is straightforward conveyancing - she should publish the advice or resign.

Surprising from the Guardian to even run that story. She isn't popular and this coming out will make her popularity nosedive. Begs the question, how can she afford an additional £800K property on her £160K a year salary - which she's only been on for the past 12 months? Maybe she inherited it.

Hope @Bilo doesn't read this thread, he'll blow his top from all these people making money off others hard work, it's not fair!

We have a difference of opinion and for the sake of derailing ''general news'' I'll leave it be.

Let me get my head round this - so anyone who inherits money, the money comes from their parents or grandparents either being ''lucky'' or ''exploitative'' - so, in your world you can only accumulate wealth through that method, but if you are self made it's also luck, with some acumen and hard work of other people?? What if your ancestors had acumen and hard work, does that not count? I'd agree with you wealth is passed down, and a proportion will as you described, but this just sounds like politics of envy

So the latest stick to beat people with is, if you didn't vote for labour you're thick? I'd like to see a breakdown of the degree's or higher education, anyone can get a degree in Cruise Management or Ethical Hacking from a poly - doesn't mean it's a measure of intelligence.

The school breakfast clubs are also taking an age to roll out - you can announce something but it takes time to implement. The extra childcare hours was also a Tory policy @Voll Blau which Labour have agreed to maintain. My interaction with the NHS has been terrible, and again these things take time and I think We Streeting despite a shaky start is one of only a handful of ministers who has his head screwed on. I agree workers rights bill will only lead to less people being employed, and with a combination of the Ers NI increase you can already see payroll numbers falling month on month. So if you were on a zero hours contract then you have struck gold, but if you are looking for work or staring down the barrel of redundancy it's not as helpful.

Interesting to hear the direct benefits for your and your family which are directly linked to labour policy?

Who said greta thunberg was fit - I’m sure someone did in this thread

Hinckley looks like we’re in the World Cup final at the min. They’ve even whacked a few right outside the Turkish barbers.

Even being more “centre right” he’s managed to aggravate the centre, right and some left - and become more unpopular than an Asian PM - many of which some far right activists would of hated because of his skin colour, wealth and background - some going that.

Yawn

I can’t see many of the flag boys doing a shift at Christian aid tbh

Rishi yes, the other two are worse than 2TK

Likely it will get messy - it just shows every month that goes by this country is at boiling point and it will only get worse. Good job we have a strong PM that will guide the country through any difficulties

Probably see them as a threat to overtake them in popularity

I didn’t have time at the time so he got the short version

No, it’s about picking examples to fit an agenda, but that’s just my opinion. Not too fussed either way, I think most agree saying stuff online to encourage any kind of violence is daft - not sure anyone is disputing that.

Can’t think why.

Told everyone in the internet to kick trans women in the balls - discussed in other thread.

Betis could of bid £1m for all we know
