Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Because you are.

"Both the government and rebels have blamed each other for what they say was an attack involving chemical weapons."


So who are they going to bomb?

It has for Cameron.


Cameron seems to have disappeared following shooting himself in the foot.

PM questions should be interesting to-morrow.

Ps/

Forgot we have an overgrown school boy acting as a clown for a PM.

I wonder when the tories will dump him, before or after the election.


Farage is laughing in his socks.

Miliband needs dumping.

Fred, Yes a pint is overdue, will let you get the Portugal trip arranged and then we can make arrangements.

UK - YouGov/Sun poll: CON 33%, LAB 40%, LDEM 9%, UKIP 12%

Labour lead 7%.

Oh dear.

Camoron IS FRIED.

That's back to the polling figures before Syria vote. So it has done no harm to Cameron. It is beginning to look like Miliband will come out worse over the stupid Labour vote.

H/S,

Are you having trouble sleeping?

GMB cuts funds it gives Labour from £1.2m to £150,000

The GMB union is to cut the affiliation funds it gives Labour from £1.2m to £150,000 in the wake of a row over reforms, the union has announced.

The union said there would also be cuts in spending on Labour campaigns.

The changes will take effect from the start of next year.

Hays,

When you were a little boy, did you use to say "stupid mummy" when she said something you didn't like.

No effect for Syria vote except damaging to Miliband.

The GMB union is to cut the affiliation funds it gives Labour from £1.2m to £150,000 in the wake of a row over reforms, it has announced.

The union said there would also be cuts in spending on Labour campaigns.

The changes will take effect from the start of next year.

The GMB said its decision to reduce its funding for Labour reflected its estimate of the number of union members who would be willing to affiliate themselves to it individually following Mr Miliband's change.

At the moment the union automatically affiliates 420,000 of its members to Labour, at £3 each per year,

It estimates about 50,000 of the 650,000 GMB members would actually choose to affiliate with Labour. This figure is derived from the number who took part in the Labour leadership contest in 2010, it said.

The move comes despite Mr Miliband's plea to unions to campaign to get their members to sign up.

Now all we have to have is Aschroft and his cronies outside the country do something similar and the stench around tory party finances may improve.

It is amazing how Labour change their minds to their sound bites. Labour have been whining for a couple of years that the coalition policies would produce no growth and their policies were the only ones that would work. Now we have growth and yesterday the OECD estimated that growth was going to be even more, they say it is the wrong sort of growth. Labour are now saying that only they can bring sustainable growth.

Labour said public job losses would not be made up in the private sector. Of course, as usual, Labour is wrong again as over 1 million private sector jobs have been created.

Please stand back as Labour are flushed down the drain of history.

"over 1 million private sector jobs have been created"



If you call a 1 hour contract a "job".

H/S,

As you seem rather infatuated with all things Labour Party.. What's in the Mirror this morning then?

Of course it I'd a job. A 1 hour or zero hour contract is a job. People don't actually work 1 hour as it would be pointless employing someone for 1 hour. Flexible contracts are very useful for employees. All the polls taken of zero hour contracts employees has shown they are in favour of them. The contracts provide flexible working for parents and carers. Employers find the contracts useful to grow their businesses. Without zero hours contracts many businesses would not he providing any work.
