Anyway, the Tory circus has folded its tents and heads into the night. Labour and Reform are in the ring now,

I was interested in what Sadiq Khan said yesterday re cannabis based on Charlie Falconers report. Possession of small amounts should be discriminalised, but will the Home Office do this? No. Depressing

I think the suggestion of a years salary as redundancy would go down unfavourably with a number of constituents

I don't know - if it was available to all workers, why not ?

However MPs like to claim it's a job when it suits them,.and a calling when it doesn't.

You'll be wanting evidence based policy next.

Oh you and your evidence base. Don’t tease!

No surprise regarding Reform here and I also agree with the Conservative councillor's comments.

You could have paid more if you thought they were getting such a bad deal. You might have got Brits applying for the clea ing job then. You could have employed a nanny at a higher wage than an au pair. All your personal decisions so don't blame other people.

I think you’ve got the wrong end of the stick here. I didn’t exploit people. I didn’t need a nanny and our au pair begged to stay when her time was up. We have our brilliant cleaners in our house right now. They’re a couple with a child who live locally.
I meant low paid people in general.

How have low paid people benefitted from being outside the EU?

You see! Unconsciously satirical

You can sneer all you like. I just describe my lived experience. I’ve been on here for years and never name change so I’m an easy target. I don’t understand the pleasure you and many others on here get from baiting.

the same with Farage sadly.

He’s a great communicator - the problem is what he says imo. But he can get people to listen and buy in and that’s what makes him even more dangerous than what he’s asking them to buy into.

I think it is possible the baiting works the otehr way. I have said it before, and happy to say it again- you only ever post when you want to offer a loudly rendered tut.

You do the sneering and baiting just as well but let's not get into a tit for tat argument.

Brexit has caused severe damage to this country, its not a thing of the past, we are all experiencing it.

I wish I’d spoiled mine.

Voting against Corbyn not only meant falling for Boris’ charm but also putting a tick next to Bravermans’ name in the box.

The second was hardest but the first is now a close call on my list of things I’ve regretted in my life!

Farming today

I think a lot of people did.

Are tuts not allowed on here? 🤣 Do you expect everyone to agree? As I keep saying I’m an old fashioned Tory Remainer. I’ll leave you to your bubble.

Don’t threaten us with a good time

😂

The thought has occurred to me that everything Farage says is satirical.

Would you have said in 1950 that everyone should get over the war, because it's been five years now and we should just get over it?

Brexit has been as damaging, if not more so, economically as WW2.

It is certainly utterly insincere.

There are plenty of Tory Remainers in this group. They post without tutting. Tutting is patronising.

Such a shame he was a Hitler admirer in his youth not afraid of the odd sieg heil. . Imagine if the guy had a conscience and a moral backbone.

Yes this bit of Farage’s background gets rather skated over. Though we may all have had interesting opinions when teenagers
