It seems there was always an upper limit on Social Care charges..... but it was a secret shhhh . . . U-Turn... I see no U-Turn
She'll have to sack Jeremy **** now, he said last week that a cap was a bad idea. S&S Leadership won't stand dissent.
She as nearly blubbing when Andrew Neil grilled her! It seemed impossibe for her lose this election but she is giving it a good go! Majority now n the region of 40-50 make another clusterfeck and its game on.
Car-crash performance by Mrs May. She must now be hoping that Andrew Neil is equally adept at skewering Corbyn.
I keep hearing about how useless Corbyn is, and from here it's hard to argue. Nut this week has shown how utterly unfit to govern Teresa Mayhem is. 2012, the home secretary cuts 1000 armed police officers. The police advise that they are losing their intelligence capabaility, that community policing (Manchester was specifically cited) was disappearing and that we would end up with a sort of paramilitary police. All of which May shot down as scaremongering. Fast forward to this week and the government are reduced to putting 1000 soldiers on the street, precisely the number that woman cut from the police. Is she Katrien Meire's long lost sister? And Corbyn advised that cutting the police would gravely predjudice public security. And the press want to paint the picture of May as strong and stable, and Corbyn as a terror apologist. Utterly shamefull.
It was eerie yesterday listening on LBC to a senior Manchester Police officer telling the then Home Secretary the reasons why he was resigning, because he didn't feel able to do his job properly because of cuts in policing numbers, which was compromising the fight against terrorism. She gave him a ticking off for scaremongering. Corbyn is about to make a speech today saying that the War On Terror hasn't worked. It was the brainchild of that trained chimpanzee Dubya, and hasn't worked, but you can bet your life Lynton Crosbie already has the soundbites ready for Mrs May to portray Corbyn as an apologist for terrorism. For that reason he should steer clear of the subject. They've already tried the old IRA trick, and that fell flat, so he should leave well alone.
Yeah. His quotes keep coming up that he made ages back, and seem very prophetic today, but that won't help when the press cherry pick today's speech and present it as some sort of terrorist attack. May should thank her stars for the Mail and the Sun, as her record is as bad as Daisy at the Valley, but even her Demetia tax didn't get the lambasting it deserved in the media (cost her a few votes though). Considering the gap to begin with, Corbyn has done well to turn this from an avalanche into a race. But like Brexit, I think there will be a small minority of Conservative voters wo don't get involved in a debate, and just vote on election day, so the gap is probably wider than it looks. But if Corbyn can avoid serving up open goals to the press, who knows, because May has a track record that Katrien would be ashamed of.
Given Labour's track record of shooting itself in the foot just before an election, today could be the day. He has a track record of making the right call on foreign policy, but this is the wrong time to make it an election issue. Apart from the police cuts, I wouldn't really find fault with the government's intelligence-led approach to combatting terrorism. Not to say no improvements could be made, but it should be a cross-party approach.
Yes, totally agree. The problem lies in the cost cutting. After that, the security forces seem to be doing a sterling job, but you have to give them the means to do it.
Squeaky bum time for the tories - another week and Labour have somehow closed the gap by another 5 points. Shouldn't have even got to this stage. Still a few weeks for May to **** up more.
