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.

Laura Sandys’ damaging parting shot shows even Cameron’s own MPs have lost confidence in his leadership

Responding to Laura Sandys’ warning to David Cameron that the ‘economic recovery is not just about the centre of London, or even rich Canterbury’, Michael Dugher MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office said:

"David Cameron and his party are running scared of UKIP. This damaging parting shot shows that even Cameron’s own MPs have lost confidence in his leadership.

"On the issues that matter to working people, the Tories have let the country down. They are haemorrhaging members and David Cameron is increasingly pandering to his right wing.

"Laura Sandys has laid bare what hardworking families know already: in the real world there is a cost-of-living crisis and the government is failing to improve living standards for all."

Hazy one.

I am glad you have a job, I hope it is zero hours one.

======

What I want the present bunch of liars in the cabinet is to state the number of Doctors, nurses working part time in the NHS.

Also, the lying b.s can also state number of hours worked rather than those said to be employed.

Also, the number of self employed actually earning a living wage.

I hope after the next election there is an enquiry into the false presentation of figures and statistics produce by the present clowns in charge,

As far as the middle class paying higher taxes, it depends on which sector of the said "middle classes" you are referring to.

I think taxes should be graduated according to earnings and incomes!

UKIP will fade into oblivion.

Good points you have made Fred, Ill go through them and put my thoughts at the side of them, ohhhhhh her indoors wants a bottle of milk from the shop. perhaphs tomorrow..........

HAYS.......I am glad you have a job, I hope it is zero hours one.

Hays laura Sandy doesnt think so in fact she says Camoron has lost his rank and file MPs. OUCH.

•Man who run in front of car get tired.

•Foolish man give wife grand piano, wise man give wife upright organ.

•Man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to Bangkok.

LOL he he.

Haystack, you are scratching round for solace, there isn't any...


Cameron is a loser, he couldn't even win against Broon, not that Comrade Millibum is any better.


It's just that Cameroon is useless, and people can see it, and wont vote for a loser.

Clegg wants cancellation of bedroom tax.

Up yours IDS and Cameron!

Cameron is looking more confident by the day.

If any of this is true, it wont matter anyway.

This just goes to show why you can’t trust a word the Lib Dems say - it is clear the only way to cancel the bedroom tax is to elect a Labour government next year - Rachel Reeves

Rachel Reeves MP, Labour’s Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, said:

"This is unbelievable hypocrisy from Nick Clegg. The Lib Dems voted for the bedroom tax. There wouldn’t be a bedroom tax if it wasn’t for the Lib Dems. And in February when Labour tabled a bill to scrap the bedroom tax, the Lib Dems were nowhere to be seen. This just goes to show why you can’t trust a word the Lib Dems say - it is clear the only way to cancel the bedroom tax is to elect a Labour government next year."

Rachel Reeves ‏@RachelReevesMP 2h

Labour will look to call a vote in parliament on the #bedroomtax. Lib Dems could cancel this cruel policy now by voting with Labour.

Fat chance of that no doubt Clegg or one of his fellow hangers on will water down what was first said.

They always do as they have no balls.

It really must be the silly season.

Shocking employment numbers. The government seems to have boosted the economy by throwing open the immigration doors. Over 900k jobs were created in the last year (full and part-time) but, of the 739k full-time-equivalent jobs created, 39.5% went to people born outside the UK. That's 292k full-time-equivalent which means the actual number of non-uk born people getting jobs was probably close to 400k. This suggests that UK GDP growth is coming from immigration rather than increasing productivity. GDP per capita could be falling. This is reinforced by average total earnings which only rose from £476 per week to £478 in the year to May. (May CPI was 1.5% and RPI 2.4% so real weekly average total earnings fell.)

And where would we be if they were not blowing a pre-election housing bubble?

film investment tax avoidance
like most if not everyone here, i thought these schemes were very aggressive and no more than just a cynical wheeze to shelter from tax.

however, on reading further this morning, it may well be that HMRC is not on such solid ground after all.

a good few years ago, the gov't of the time (labour as it happens, but it's actually not important) promoted this concept as a way of supporting and encouraging the british film industry.

one of the major promoters for whom HMRC is gunning actually invested in a good number of films that were genuine box office successes, though of course they must have their share of duds as well

it may be, and it's not for me to judge, that the company in question made the avoidance "aggressive" by the way they leveraged investments from individuals.

nevertheless, there seems to have been no suggestion over the years that the scheme was sailing far too close to the wind.

so not quite as black and white as first appears
