Politics should be the epitome of ethical.
It’s not.
But praising unethical people and calling them ‘Smart’ is part of the problem.
Be part of the solution. Boris isn’t being smart. He’s a duplicitous liar who is 99% of the way there In conning the people whose lives he will make worse, to vote for him.
If you think the right word is ‘Smart’.... you’re not Smart.
Nope... Because by now most people have also realised what Corbyn is like as well and judging by the polls whilst neither is massively popular Corbyn is much more unpopular
Leading Conservative Party elders plead electorate to #VoteForAnyoneButTheTories
Ex Conservative Prime Minister John Major says Don't Vote Conservative!
Ex Conservative Deputy Prime Minister Michael Heseltine, regarded as the 'lionheart' of conservatism during his heyday says Don't Vote Conservative!
Ditto ex Conservative cabinet Minister David Gauke says Don't Vote Conservative!

I reckon Corbyn generates the greater number of both "Hell Yes"s and "Holy Christ No"s. Boris just gets the preponderance of the much larger "Oh ffs, I guess if I have to choose" quota, and it's these latter that will likely make up the difference.

Corbyn seems particularly unpopular amongst the leaders
Yeah, maybe I'm wrong. Still unclear though - I'm saying that Johnson's approval is more "I like bananas" than "I fecking love ice-cream" whereas Corbyn's admittedly smaller base demonstrates the reverse. Meanwhile Hell Nos are probably equally ardent but Corbyn has more of them.
Bloody hell though I didn't realise Labour were planning to abolish Entrepreneurs' Relief.
Can't believe that hasn't been pushed massively by the Tories. A tax on Job/wealth creation.
I can't help but think with a more popular leader labour would walk this election
I think Jess Phillips for example would be looking at a huge majority in the country... But certainly wouldn't win with momentum against her in the labour party
Shame but hopefully it doesn't take another 5 years and another defeat for labour to see sense
I make it £71.5K too, tbf
He's quoting Nimesh Shah, partner at Blick Rothenberg. The writer is just a grunt, he has no idea what he's doing. He just called a few people up for comment and put them together in an article.
I used to work for a firm which merged with Blick Rothenberg. So, if I had never left:
1. I'd be much better off than I am now, and;
2. I'd be able to march in his office and beat him about the head with a stick.
Send him an email, but try to be polite, eh, @Ekkie Thump

Phenomenal.
My cousins husband is a partner at BR. Is it a good firm?
He was on fire in that one.
is there any more debates and interviews after tonight's debate?
Apparently the Tories are looking to reform it as well, so hardly just Labour leftism on show here.
Plenty of criticism that a lot of applications essentially take the piss insofar as they're often wealthy and basically want another handy tax cut.
Ask your cousin's husband
I hope Jerry is tuss enough to call Boris a lying cnut on telly...hell yeah.
There's a QT with an under 30 audience and representatives of the major parties, but nothing on this level that could actually change minds.
I disagree with the criticism. As someone who in the next 5 years may well invest a mid 6 figure sum in starting a business it would certainly put me off making that investment in favour of sticking with where I am.
This relief has contributed to several working class entrepreneurs that I know being able to have a solid and secure retirement.
Disincentivising something that is great for the economy, great for job creation, great for innovation and is also something incredibly risky for the individual in my view is stupid.
I'd have no issue increasing the share requirement from 5% to maybe 10-15% which would stamp out many speculators.
/Edit: it's also comparatively inexpensive at around 0.1% of GDP and in my view it more than generates its own revenue through greater investment
Bad start for Jez, fidgeting with his glasses as the cameras started rolling. 
Maidstone...how glamourous!
hopefully there won't be too much hollering and clapping and whooping
Haven’t seen him for 10 years.Ask your cousin's husband
Tory Nick has one weird ear.
Get Brexit Done
Oven ready. There we go.
Crap first question. Easy to bat away.
I'm getting deja vu with these soundbites
yep it's already just more of the same shit.
The quality of questions from all the debates has been dire - what was the point of asking that first? It doesn't actually ask anything of either leader, it's just an open ended question with no point.
Can’t be arsed with this. Sick of Boris and his pathetic catchphrase and the crap questions they get asked.
Did I hear that right from Boris :
Benefits of BrExit is reduced tax on tampons?! Is that what he said?
Benefits of BrExit is reduced tax on tampons?! Is that what he said?
Sort of just all more of the same at this point.
Yeah, shite so far.
Can they not just get industry experts, financial experts, economists etc. to scrutinise these two?
Cute and wholesome as it is getting average Joe to ask the questions, your average Joe knows feck all.

Don’t know how yanks put up with their election cycles. Ready for this one to be done with now.
