So if "everyone" had these well paid jobs who would do jobs like carers etc that have never been well paid yet are vital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He now claims he advised against the Newsnight interview - but he was Prince Andrew's PR officer, in charge of the great attempt to resurrect his tattered reputation. These people are serial failures who go on to succeed through bluster, rewriting history and reinvention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain... Posted 2 October 2022 Share Posted 2 October 2022 4 hours ago, StanSP said: Quite a simple question, no? It's these sort of questions that lead to politicians not trusting the media. It's a stupid question that is trying to get that gotcha moment. It's stupid question because everyone knows the correct answer and nobody watching should be surprised that nobody has voted for a thing that nobody has had a chance to vote for. I'm no Truss supporter quite the opposite, but when you ask these sorts of questions you're just going to end up with interminable interviews with interviewer and interviewee shouting over each other. Fair play to Truss for asking for clarification on such a stupid question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 2 October 2022 Share Posted 2 October 2022 Top rate tax cuts and slashing benefits. They can do what they want for 4 and a half years because once an election is called all their mates who own all the papers and news websites will post a picture of Starmer gurning and that's an election won. Isn't it depressing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnaldo Posted 2 October 2022 Share Posted 2 October 2022 1 hour ago, Daggers said: It's a perfectly legitimate question. Agree with Captain personally, it has the basis of a good question, had it been “You were voted by your parliamentary peers and party members, do you think this justifies such a departure from the 2019 manifesto this term was elected on?” It actually gives scope for an answer and further questions, and quite frankly you’d assume she would make a thorough embarrassment of it. As Captain said, we know the answer to who voted for her, as would anyone bothering to watch the interview, it’s a fairly low-form gotcha and gives Tory hardliners an excuse to say she was ‘ambushed’. The regional BBC presenters did a much better job of thorough lines of questioning. Goes back to what was discussed before about presenters interrupting guests; if you give it time to breathe you can dissect more from their arguments, if they bluster THEN you can interrupt and take control of the conversation, ultimately quips and gotchas don’t really serve a purpose. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...there are quite a few folks on the right in the US who have power who hold such views, but are simply better at dressing them up and gaming the system to their advantage to apply a little bit of them rather than rallying in the streets and making it obvious. Probably not "typical" as such, but enough to cause real widespread problems, the last six years have been evidence of that. Edit: of course, such isn't "typical" in the UK.

If she makes the comment that no one voted for this whilst asking a question about for example how can we be sure that this growth plan will work then fair enough but in the end its more of a statement then a question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In real terms with the rate of inflation minimum wage and benefits are being cut every day. But in literal terms its all over the news, they are planning on cutting benefits, unless of course you're an idiot or a troll. Likely both. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
