They're so economically restrained they didn't cost the manifesto. What a crock of shit.

An English Parliament more like. It's an issue which Labour has a total blind spot on at present.
So economically restrained that despite all of their cuts they still can't reduce our National debt. They're either economically restrained or fecking terrible at economics.At least they're not Scottish! What more do you want?
I forget what the fudge was that the Tories brought in a couple of years ago... aren't Scottish MPs excluded from voting on English/Welsh bills, or there needs to be a majority of English/Welsh votes as well as an overall majority?
Anyone want to check? I guess Parliament could just use a standard majority to change the rules back anyway?
Can't fecking believe they are going door to door talking about the i fecking r fecking a
Is this something youd like Nick?
They also brought in the fixed parliaments act, and scrapped it when it suited them. Labour and SNP would likely do the same.
Wasn't the Mail against Scottish Independence?
Theu haven't actually scrapped that. Its just misnamed
The mail's ideal Britain would be one that still colonised countries, of course they're against it.
So if they are still part of the Country then they should be able to vote on It's laws.
Well we certainly can't put the devolution genie back in the bottle, and the present system is a mess. An even distribution of powers across the home nations would, hopefully, solidify the United Kingdom too. I would also like to see the local referenda idea promoted, at the council/borough level. Labour talks about the 'regions' but rarely England, it is as if they are afraid of the mere concept.
Depends how you measure it. The deficit has come down, but low income growth is screwing it up a bit.
From the IFS.
Id be quite happy if you lot gave NI up..just say the feckin word pal!
The object would be one of prolonging the union, so i'll pass thanks. Should the citizens of Northern Ireland at some point vote to leave...well that's a different kettle of fish.
Demographic swing upcoming
Just watched the QT from last night. I don't agree with Corbyn about nukes but I'm furious that his campaign team haven't come up with a clear position for him on this issue which was obviously going to come up during the campaign. He looked weak and evasive on a question where he should have been able to look strong and principled. It was a sad reflection of the pre-election Corbyn that had so many of us worried. I really hope his team get on this ASAP and don't allow a moment like that to happen again before the vote.
But what would the uk parliament control? Should we cut it down from 650 to say, 100, if they sre going to have severly limited powers?
For me, increasingly it's less about Corbyn and Labour and (as some of us expected) just how intellectually poor May and her party comes across. Die hard conservatives and Brexiteers won't care but for those in the middle, it seems a lot of them have been put off by her since she called it.
That exchange with the nurse in particular was fecking shameful - how in God's name May got to be leader is beyond me, she genuinely needs a public speaking course or something. She doesn't even have the intelligence nor the wit to talk around the issue (to get herself out of it).

Why would multi-lingual suggest English isn't the priority and expected language?
Antonio Valencia disagrees. More people like Antonio Valencia than the leave campaign. Done.
That is fecking ridiculous if true in all seriousness (Valencia can't speak English). Fecking rude beyond anything else.
Nah, I'm sure he can speak/understand it to a decent level. I just think he's a shy guy.
Well yeah that would be different of course.
Apparently he didn't have a great education growing up in Ecuador. I wouldn't judge him to harshly if I was you.
He could probably still speak better English than anyone from Burnley.
Read that as 'public spanking'
Also has Labour + SNP on 308. Tories alone on 308.
And in which case, the Lib Dems 10 seats wouldn't give either group a majority
Assuming their modelling is in anyway accurate, this country is right on a knife edge
DUP vs Sinn Fein as the king makersRead that as 'public spanking'

Well look I'm not privy to his background, I just know he's been in England working for 10+ years. If he's got exceptional circumstances that's fine. I'm merely pointing out that in general, people in that scenario should have learnt the language by now and be speaking it. As another poster already said, it's likely not true anyway.
Sinn Fein wont go to Westminster.DUP vs Sinn Fein as the king makers
Can tell the election bods on twitter are dreading that result more than anything elseRead that as 'public spanking'

So assuming they got 4 seats again, and taking out the speaker, thats 5 seats gone.
323 needed for a majority.
Tories 307 + Lib Dems 10 = 317 ...... only 6 away
Labour 261 + SNP 47 + Lib Dems 10 + Plaid Cymru 2 + Green 1 = 321 ..... still 2 away
Who on earth knows how this is going to go
It's surely got to be Tory minority and another election in three months or so, if that happens?
EDIT - Or we just accept this democracy thing isn't working and return to absolute monarchy.

For the sake of the British public, it's just got to be a Labour outright majority - what with Brexit pressing and all.
