How will raising the iheritance tax threshold to £1 million help the 'ordinary families' you like to talk about?
How can this policy possibly sit with your claims to be the party of the poor?

just read the Times piece. I think mn shoudl replace that guff about being the UK's favourite meeting place for parents with "Like the Glasgow Empire, with emoticons." absolutely marvellous.

Is the phrase "ood, tough self regulation" an oxymoron?

Discuss, with especial reference to the need for masochists only to apply for roles that require good tough self regulation

what is glasgow empire,never heard of it,feeling nebby now

'They sound like a bunch of bimbos. Surely they cannot have seriously expected someone in his position to be concerned or knowledgeable about every little item supposedly allowed to people. Why on earth is our social security system defining how many nappies people can have anyway? A better system is a cash allowance allowing people to figure out and support their own needs.

Why do people think its the role of the state to know everything about their lives and cater for it?'

Reckon this is Mr Tweedie?

Well done kate L whoever you are!

That's from the linked Times article by the way.

Mirror leads with Mummy Dummy

at Labour-orchestrated Ambush in the Daily Mail

I don't care whay sterotype they call us, he wants our vote and he came to get it and failed.

I'm certainly not a bored, city housewife.

I came on to read the thread wanting to find someone to trust and offer hope for the future and I did not find that at all.

I emailed 'him' well his minion - you know he ain't gonna read it and may have mentioned that he didn't answer a single question with any meat on the bones just sound bites. Also, it might well be a good idea for somebody who wants to run the country to do a bit of forward planning and get some of the already posted questions, answers before he came on. Proper answers to mind not that pulp he spewed forth here.

I am an undecided voter and right now the only decision I've made is I won't be voting conservative based on this and the fact they don't actually seem to have any firm policies.

Riven I know you're busy but honestly, contact The Times and don't let him off the hook. He should bloody answer your questions he wants your vote and you can't be the only mum/parent in your circumstances! He made a promise to come talk to people in Bristol, if he can't honour that promise he's going to do cock all in power.

As for being middle class? I was raised in council flat and my parents were a lorry driver and lolly pop lady. Hardly the stuff of the middle classes!

Riven go for it! I'm sure there's some way to protect your anonymity[sp?]. You should get bloody Gordon Brown on the case as well.

Riven
go for it, it is a great opportunity to raise the issue of the lack of support for parents of children with SN.

The nappies issue is just an example of the idiocy that you and others face EVERY day.

It is not about the nappies, it is about the total lack of support.

What have I missed about Riven and the times????

Oh....I made the Times too....I am sooooo elated!

Arf at missing 'arf'. So that's where it went from the beginning of the sentence...

Should be DM article

Lol at Labour orchestrated ambush!

Don't they know that we are equal-opportunity ambushers, and savage equally, regardless of gender, ethnicity or political persuasion?

Plus - shock - some of us are labour supporters without even being orchestrated or paid for it! Yes, it is possible to change nappies and simultaneously hold political beliefs, hard though that is to believe, apparently

rivenathotmail would protect anonymity
