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.
@DanNeidle It’s approx ten percent in most civilised European countries for a reason . Hospitality is labour- heavy and most supplies are zero rated thus little or no input tax . I’ve owned a very successful restaurant for thirty years and it’s never been so hard to break even
@DanNeidle And what is the cost of the accelerating wave of hospitality closures and redundancies ? How much extra tax would be brought in if these businesses could stop folding and start hiring ? You don’t understand hospitality which has massive overheads other businesses do not have (1)
Utterly disgraceful & disrespectful behaviour from the new SNP MP for Arbroath & Broughty Ferry. She added a preamble to the loyal oath indicating she didn’t accept it, then read the actual words holding up crossed fingers, presumably to signify she didn’t believe it. Awful.
Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.
The electorate has had enough of 'the media'? No, Gordon, they've had enough of an incompetent government which, to quote Pat McFadden, taxes them to pay benefits; of an economically illiterate Chancellor destroying businesses and increasing unemployment; of a police force that thinks racism is a worse crime than murder; of judges who refuse to jail teenage rapists who filmed themselves degrading their victims. They've had enough of so-called progressives telling them women can have penises and had it up to here with Islamists and other useful idiots mourning murderous mullahs on our streets. They've had enough of being branded "far right" by actual antisemites. But most of all - they've had enough of denialists like you pretending that none of this is happening.
