He looks like a corpse now, and thinks the Tories would do a dandy job for the NHS. How time changes a man.

The point is more that pockets of funding disparity cause stupid amounts of bureaucracy due to overreaction, which leads to less funds where needed.  So you spend more than enough to do the job, but it doesn't get done.

 

I see your point. I think that's pretty much the labour policy, to increase public spending at the level of service provision but to cut back on public sector bureaucracy.

If its such an injustice why  have they not tackled it already? They've been in power long enough!

I take it all back, that £100 will more than make up for living in a Banana Republic backwater, somewhere off the coast of Europe.

Labour still not named their candidate for north west leicestershire. Trying to find someone who can oust bridgen.

I didn't  like the energy price freeze when Ed Miliband proposed it and I don't  like it now. Populist bollox.

i dont get how they can enforce that anyway. they have no control on pricing for raw materials to make power.

It is economically illiterate, it was rightly panned at the time and should be now. This just confirms to me that the 'Conservative' party is another centre left party on economics.

Someone needs to work out whether May is stealing all Ed Miliband's policy or the most right wing leader ever turning us into a dictatorship.

 

No idea why but I thought Corbyn might resign after Thursday, he isn't the sort to do that though is he? I honestly think they'll be celebrating seeing moderates like Woodcock lose next month as it tightens the grip on the party which its now beyond doubt is the objective of those who have railroaded it.

Yeah, tbf those who think the Tories are really (rather than merely a fair bit) right wing ought to come over here for a while and get a look at how the pros do it.

I find it amusing that Hammond stole Ed Balls' economic policy and now May is stealing Ed Miliband's energy policy too. Meanwhile our negotiating tactic with Europe is to be "bloody difficult", but it's okay really because it's a strong and stable government putting hard working families first in the national interest.

It isn't an energy price freeze I don't think, it is saying to the energy companies "if you can sell at £600 a quid a year on your new customer tariffs you cant charge people who are not in a position to negotiate (the elderly, stupid etc) £300 more than that just because they are not paying attention.  On the basis that the market is not really working.  Still not sure how practical it is.

Clearly any team called Hammond and May would be expected to be quirky and original, not derivative and painful.
