I watch politics live most days on catch up (watching today's right now in fact!) and I personally prefer a format like that which allows politicians the forum to move beyond the soundbite and articulate their arguments more broadly. To then clip part of that out of context isn't helpful imo - pretty fed up with debates taking place at the twitter/meme level which lack any nuance. I used to really admire the way we did our political business in the UK now it's like a punch and judy show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) What have we learned just on the last page? People in poverty don't need £20. MPs do need thousands of additional pounds over their £81,000 salary otherwise their lives are blighted. Isabel Oakeshott may be selective along party lines as to whether or not to report a hand wandering around her buttock.

BTW (open question, not meaning to quote only you here, James) - Could folk who get themselves red/pink in the face shouting about Boris/Trump also be described as gammon? You are a pest. If you are that bothered about gammon go and open a thread about it. You’ve dragged this thread way of topic umpteen times. I bet you think of yourself as an intellectual, you are in fact a bore.

I predicted on here a few weeks ago that I thought he would be gone by the middle of next year. Sadly, he is now such a liability to the Tories, I’d much prefer that he remained in No.10 till the next GE. I agree that he is already ‘Dead Man Walking’.

No doubt the English tax-payer in Berwick or Carlisle will be footing the bill for part of this London-centric farce that will do buggery of buggery all for them in terms of "levelling up".

Cade Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 HS2 was always an unaffordable vanity project. Bits and bobs of it are now getting cancelled as it's unaffordable. The point is that they're cutting the North bits, and keeping the Home Counties parts, which is only going to further entrench the geographical inequality in the UK. The whole thing should be cancelled, but they're determined to level up the already rich south at the expense of the north that were dumb enough to vote blue last time out.
