Remember this....

“As long as we are in the EU, we are not allowed to cut this tax.

“When we Vote Leave, we will be able to scrap this unfair and damaging tax. It isn’t right that unelected bureaucrats in Brussels impose taxes on the poorest and elected British politicians can do nothing.”

So now that brexit is 'nearly done', one party who predominantly wanted to remain, wants to scrap this tax and one party who predominantly wanted to leave wants to keep it, despite saying we can and should scrap it. Hmmmm
 
Labour now want to use flexibility of Brexit to remove 5% VAT on energy bills, which was not allowed to do under EU rules!
Yeah it was a bit bizarre Rayner saying that last week when she couldn’t accept the result and now it’s the way to go? <doh> Idiots.
Never mind I hear Jezza is up for a new party, splitting away from Captain Hindsight… that will end well.
 
I thought its whats not being said ellers, you cant have it your way all the time.
Sadly for Rayner/Starmer and Co who tied their colours to a Second referendum and then decide (like the oppertunists they are) to want to use benifits of Brexit... It may have helped if they kept their mouths closed for 5 minutes to see how things go. Sometimes it's better not to say anything... as sometimes what is not being said is more important.

As I tried to tell you the other day Bob, sometimes you need to look out for what’s not being said. It’s standard practice in politics when to talk and not. The fools in Labour (other than Starmer) seem to shoot there selves in the the foot quite a bit of late.
 
I will help you Ellers but only because we have been getting on so well of late. The answer to the first question is yes, the answer to the second question is no

Yeah you said that when labour didnt say they wanted a xmas lockdown which translated to they did want one. Does that same rule of thought apply to all parties then? Think you need to make another perfect cup of tea mate.
 
What frustrates you more, someone saying something and then not delivering or someone not saying something that they dont deliver on? What a bizarre thought process one must have.

Bob you need to buy yourself a copy of the Guardian and read up on some more anti government articles… you are slipping.
The good thing about being in opposition, is you can say what you want… even when the sums don’t add up. I still want my free broadband! <doh> Whatever Labour say this week they will change next.
