It's 2 billion to retain her legacy ultimately. This country is nothing but a CV entry for her and she'll do anything to preserve as all of her recent actions and decisions show. People can say what they want about Corbyn, lot of it valid, he ain't perfect(Show me a politician who is) but his interests are in the country, not himself. That's something the Tories can never take from him while they're on self serving.
Yeh mate the labour are not good by a long means
They are all as bad as each other.
But it's clear to me that we all would be better off with labour
That's just my opinion.
The better of all the evils
 
I feel the torys look after the rich or even the want a be rich.
However if you have worked and saved and have a little bit money
They tax you and give you nowt in return.put the prices up and the money they take off you they get to the less well off.
Subsequently make the less well of on par with you.
The rich and the want to be rich don't get touched as bad.

Look at the Commons voting patterns. Tories vote for the party, Labour vote for their constituents. This is the main difference for me. They're still politicians at the end of the day so none will ever be close perfect. But so long as they have different ideals and philosophies about how the country is ran different parties will always deliver more to different types of voters and their needs. What baffles me is what the Tory voters who aren't part of financial elite actually get out of the Tory government?

People still vote for Tory based on Blair and Iraq ffs. Love to know which planet they live on. I'd like to sample some of their natural herbs <laugh>

Well this is what I'm saying about different parties being right for different people. The Financial elite who do actually benefit from a Tory government who vote Tory fair play I say. Don't understand the others tbh. Find it very strange.
 
Yeh in theory I would imagine there more less well off than well off
So the wanto be well off vote for torys.
I'm assuming that's the way it is
Should the labour really get the most votes
I'm confused ???????????
 
They used to say it was the wives of working men who voted Tory, and this was true in my immediate family, the men were labour and all the women Tories. <laugh>
 
As this is to keep the Tories in power and so only they benefit then this should be paid for by the Tory Party, no doubt one of their loaded donors could cough up the money. Instead the taxes paid for by the working people are used so the Tories can continue wrecking the public services the majority of those tax payers depend on.
 
Am I being thick over this. Just don't get it. Surely it's using other peoples money (over which they have no control) to bribe others to join your gang so that you can keep your power. ? Should we form the Northumberland and Durham party, mop up all the constituencies within and in another election,. offer our support for £1b investment for the NE ? One day we could also have the Devon and Cornwall party, the Black Country party, the East Anglia party etc etc --- then an election with 150 Tory seats, 100 labour seats and about eight parties with 50 seats.. Then sort that one out.

As expected they've struck a deal with the Loyalists who look like they've won the lottery.
So Fester Fanny now has a majority of two. <laugh>
The DUP have clusterfucked her & like a little lap dog she sucks them off.
Who would have thought it, the British government in bed with an organisation with terrorist links. <doh>
She's being right royally gangbanged & there's **** all the whore can do about it.
Strong & stable. <laugh>

In theory only a small number of Tory MPs needed to demand their 100m for their constituency and when It's refused, leave the party, force a bi election and if re-elected as an independents hold the Country ransom in exactly the same way.

In a word yes!
This is possible and why not.
If our region didn't reel fairly represented then a 'local' party could always be created and to be honest I'm surprised someone hasn't tried it before.

Well said. <applause>

It's always easier to mock when you are opposition but by God she hit every nail on the head here, this government are a disgrace. Everyone in the country should be annoyed with May and Co including her own supporters as she has made a right mess. I mean I couldn't imagine how Brexit could be harder to negotiate but by eck our politicians can achieve even that miracle!!
