Almost 60, how did that happen?

@meganekenyon @NewStatesman If you think Greens have been on easy mode you have not been watching what has happened over the last few months. Relentless attacks on Polanski, even the Met Police chief making political points on national media.

New Stateman looking increasingly irrelevant.

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@meganekenyon Or maybe he has looked out of the window and seen the country is on fire?

Journalists have to carry a heavy weight of responsibility for the damage that has been done to this world by studiously ignoring the science for the last 50 years and just listening to whoever pays most

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@implausibleblog if these are going to read out on national television, the name of the person making the comment should be clearly stated

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@implausibleblog was it really shared by Zack Polanski as reported?

@lukerobertblack London is the world capital of corruption and money laundering. Not a suitable place for government.

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@WestminsterWAG @andyburnham Because it's important to get government out of the corrupt money laundering cesspit that is London?

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@KEdge23 Lol London person upset that not everything is about London

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@Stephen38765337 @paullewismoney Insurers go bust and even if they are still solvent when the claim is made they will try to get out of paying use of tricksy wording.

Therefore insurance is not a viable solution and it has to be at national level

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.

Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.

Leave him to me.

@LHP_CEO @johnmcdonnellMP @bbcnickrobinson No the BBC is a public service so should make some attempt at factual accuracy and balance. This is just a love in.

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@joecguinan But the heartbreaking thing is that there was a big majority to allow real change and this has just been squandered for a generation.

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@JeremiahDJohns Taking infrastructure into public hands is also very popular and would provide either a lot of money to the treasury or vastly reduced prices.

All to be transferred back at £1 due to the excessive, possibly illegal, dividends taken out and past price increases above inflation.

@AndrewRoy70 Pensions are not welfare. Pensions are a statutory entitlement to income from decades of contributing national insurance. Pension should be completely separate

Breaking: Jeremy Corbyn has got hold of 451 pages of unredacted documents related to US/UK trade discussions. Labour leader says: "We've now got evidence that under Boris Johnson the NHS is on the table and will be up for sale."

@Adeniyi1111111 @DERCONOMY @DanNeidle @RobNoLastName So you would have to buy something a little cheaper.

This might calm down the crazy property market leading to price reductions which would help younger people

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@Adeniyi1111111 @DERCONOMY @DanNeidle @RobNoLastName Buy for 150,0000 and sell for 200,000 then 50,000 is a profit and maybe taxed at 20% so £10,000 tax. This leaves 190,000 to reinvest.

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@labourlewis I think it's your party that has been guilty here. And therefore you are responsible for this.

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@DERCONOMY @DanNeidle @RobNoLastName It's not distortionary. It is taxing a real profit

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@DanNeidle @RobNoLastName I know I will be shouted down but I would take away main residence exemption and tax all gains as income with a top slicing relief so the gain is effectively spread to avoid unfair amounts of higher rate taxes

[Stephen Poole @ArtfulDipper]

@clivetaylo65495 @shearernorthern Lucas hid in her cosy comfort zone instead of backing Corbyn. This has hurt countless thousands of people who could have had a better life had she not been so cowardly in the face of spurious AS smears.

I'm sorry about her hurt feelings but I care more about those she let down.
