David Cameron is coming back (which is more than we can say for Piers Morgan). The leader of the opposition will be logging on from The Tory party's spring forum in Gateshead this Friday pm, at 3.30. Come along and pose him a question about an issue relevant to you, or if you can't make it on the day, you can post advance questions here.
Best,
MNHQ

Thank you David.

when can we get Gordon on?

PrincessPeaHead · 14/03/2008 16:38

scotland gets paid a much higher percentage of the money earnt in london and the southeast than the english do, Kanga

god knows why. I don't think they deserve it.

JustineMumsnet · 14/03/2008 16:38

Yes! Freudian slip

And we're trying with Gordon honest. Last time I asked he said he preferred to "blaze his own trail rather than follow in other's footsteps" but we'll keep at him...

cos us saps in England pay for it RKT in the money that goes to Scotland

PrincessPeaHead · 14/03/2008 16:40

haha

how about ruth kelly? she would be interesting if she'd let herself IYSWIM

RTKangaDYSONMummy · 14/03/2008 16:42

So the English taxes are paying for the fees etc for the scottish children to go to Uni

While the English children have to pay for themselves cos there isn't enough money left?

How can that be fair?

I was asking the question on beahlf of my sis and her DSs {hence why I don't know all the facts}

Princess - am wounded! (you could always just hand over the North Sea oil revenues, keep your cash, and we could shake hands and part as friends!)

rebelmum1 · 14/03/2008 16:43

Improve education
Stop taxing fuel
Reduce the substantial tax burden on hard working families
Introduce accountability for the billions wasted, stolen and mis-spent by Government. Stop the final salary pensions that Gov employees recieve. We can't afford our pensions because we are paying for yours.
Stop increasing the size and lateral inefficiency of bureaucracy. Isn't it time Government was streamlined and more efficient.

rebelmum1 · 14/03/2008 16:44

bugger he's gone, ah well

Habbibu · 14/03/2008 16:44

FWIW, as far as I'm aware, much of the extra cash in English univs is going on additional things, like extra bursaries, facilities etc. Scottish universities are not as well-funded as English ones - that's the flip side of not paying fees, I guess.

bossybritches · 14/03/2008 16:47

Thanks Justine & team- bey that was a frantic half hour?

Ledodgy · 14/03/2008 16:48

I'm rofl @ 'I always do it on a wednesday to try and get some energy up for the bizarre ritual of PMQs. And - no - no car following behind. I have massive panniers.'

weebleswobble · 14/03/2008 16:50

Somebody had to bring up the massive panniers....I just knew it

Monkeybird · 14/03/2008 16:51

'massive panniers'! Someone tell Private Eye!

he's a bit overconfident in his cojones isn't he?

bossybritches · 14/03/2008 16:51

Thanks Justine & team- bet that was a frantic hour?

< Passes MNHQ large cuppas & choccy hob-nobs to aid recovery>

PrincessPeaHead · 14/03/2008 16:52

since he was in gateshead and justine was in london I don't expect it was TOO frantic

bossybritches · 14/03/2008 16:53

bossybritches · 14/03/2008 16:55

tatt · 14/03/2008 17:00

good publicity for mumsnet / daivid cameron and a bit of fun - but does anyone really believe it serves a useful purpose?

runs away before princesspeahead attacks me again for not grovelling.......

lilibet · 14/03/2008 17:01

It will serve a useful purpose if I get my answer!!

Smurfs · 14/03/2008 17:31

what about my question David?

Conservatives get my vote every time even though he didn't answer me

Desiderata · 14/03/2008 17:32

I don't know what point you were trying to make, Tatt, but I don't think you acquitted yourself very well, tbh.

PrincessPeaHead · 14/03/2008 17:38

I didn't attack you for not grovelling, I told you to stop saying the SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN because it was boring me.
why don't you at least declare your interest as some minor labour party apparatchik while you are at it
