We should see the party manifestos soon
in 2017, that changed the election

So far, Tory and Labour have been competing for who can offer the most spending on the NHS

Labour have been giving tantalising glimpses of free dental care and free broadband

The Tories have been hinting at tax cuts, as well as public spending

The polls suggest the public like all of the above,
but also that Brexit is the most important issue

25 days to go, still all to play for

Too many also’s and bad grammar in that - but you get my rage

The only reason you would want Dominic Raab an Pritti Patel on your side or TEAM is that you think they are shite and they are the perfect stooges to deflect from your shortcomings.

That's interesting information sovietverloren.

ludicrously late PMK
I've had a horrible stomach bug for a week now
Looking at BJ last night didn't settle things, health wise!

Wow, someone has given Prince Andrew a real talking to

  • someone with enough clout to tell him to apologise properly and to stand down from public duties

Mum finally realised she had to put him on the naughty step ?

Tom Newton Dunn@tnewtondunn

Wow.
Royals don't grovel..
Until now.

Best For Britain have emailed me that there is a 8/10 chance of a white Christmas Shock. I think the point is to get teed up for postal voting in case.

tobee · 20/11/2019 18:52

Ooh that sounds horrible Room. There seems to be a lot of it about.

Yesterday we had a few minutes of hail ... I was outside and the sun was still shining brightly Confused
Rhine valley - all services will run as normal here if it snows !

We could hold a winter GE here without any problem;
however, a white GE in the UK could turn political turmoil into farce

My pick is Charles and/or William - we'll not Andrew - but to Queenie......

If you recall the summer of 97, Queenie is inclined to go rabbit in the headlights in a family crisis. This looks like Big Brother, who is known to want to cut the number of HRHs when he gets to sit in the big chair.

skwawkbox.org/2019/11/20/video-yougov-snap-poll-saying-johnson-won-debate-shows-time-more-than-1hr-before-debate-took-place/

A ‘snap poll’ published by YouGov has found ‘viewers split on who won ITV general election debate‘ and states that Boris Johnson narrowly won among 1.646 respondents polled.

However, the date and time on the page highlighting the poll result is one hour and ten minutes before the debate started at 8pm:

MockersFactCheckMN · 20/11/2019 19:01

...Well it could be a GMT/BST thing?

TatianaLarina · 20/11/2019 19:04

The question is why didn’t he just say that in his interview?

RedToothBrush · 20/11/2019 19:07

So Andrew won't be getting any royal perks then?

Oh wait...

I saw that earlier but couldnt rule out that it hadnt been photoshopped so I didnt put a huge amount of faith into it but not really surprising that the MSM are running with that one and not the countless others

ClashCityRocker · 20/11/2019 19:14

The fudge is indeed only for this year running - which is great considering we're nearly nine months through it.

I know a few who have come out of the scheme altogether this year.

I know several who have remortgaged their homes to pay the tax charge.

An awful lot for whom it has been the final push to either retire or go into private practice.

I've met with over a dozen consultants at our local hospital who have said they will not work any additional shifts and have cut their hours down to a minimum to try and mitigate the impact. I've also met some who are doing extra shifts in exchange for toil that they know they will never get to take, but morally cannot leave the shift uncovered.

One client had income of £110,090. That extra £90 would have cost him an additional £13k in tax.

The stress it is causing for those in an already stressful role is unbelievable.

Aren't the other 'polls' simply online polls where people vote?

AutumnCrow · 20/11/2019 19:18

The NI changes could mean a whole tranche of the poorest paid find themselves without the requisite 35 years contributions for a state pension. Unintended consequence or more Tory face grinding?

Can anyone say a bit more about this, and the LEL, please? Some of you are pretty awesome tax boffins. I'm not - but I'm worried about the implications of this esp for female workers on post-maternity part-time working.

ClashCityRocker · 20/11/2019 19:23

I can't find anything clear on it Autumn

Gove on C4 News now accuses reporter of doctoring Tory party website to make it look dishonest.

tobee · 20/11/2019 19:34

Hmm??? Mockers

chomalungma · 20/11/2019 19:36

It's the Gove interview.

Needs watching in full.

Interview with Ciaran Jenkins in a farmyard, as good a place for BS as any. Gove's persistent tone was indicates a premeditated anti-MSM message, accusing Jenkns of making campaign speeches when he was quoting Gove's own words back at him (about BJ not being fit to be PM, etc.)
