I find Ed Davey the most likeable and human of any of the leaders. 

Shame our system will only allow one of the big 2 to be PM

Not sure he came out of the Post Office scandal too well.  Beware of personality politics.

The absolute AUDACITY.

No doubt he’d win the Prem with Man City’s resources.

I got married under the Conservatives

Had two healthy children under the Conservatives

Had a couple of lovely holidays under the Conservatives

Learned some great guitar riffs under the Conservatives

Had some smashing puddings under the Conservatives

 

Yet still I hate them

[Daggers]

We’re an open minded and even handed bunch here in the main. 
 

I’d like to apologise to any Tory voters who are upset by Bellend’s terrible attack.

There's nearly 3 weeks to go, they may yet win me over

Because who isn’t voting for a candidate who will work hard to preserve good community pub fights?

I went into a community pub once,   it had a flat roof and everything.

Those who feel they are morally superior and really good at being *****.  People who cannot even spell Israeli should probably stay off the internet.

That think-tank hasn't factored in that labour in power will be able to buy MRI scanners at a quarter of the price that the Tories can.

 

I assume they will also be able to employ doctors for £5k a year or however their calculations stack up.

I mean more what they've not accounted for is the current line (see John Harris' weekend column in the guardian) that Starmer is actually just lying to the public to get elected and will be far more progressive and ambitious in government. not beyond the realms of possibility, the man does have form for lying to get elected (how fast did those 10 pledges get dumped?) but still naïve - when someone tells you who they are, believe them.

People will talk about disinformation online then screenshot Patrick5064515's tweet to prove their world view.

So much to unpack here. Yes, there’s the whole UKIP thing going on, plus why would someone do that - but mainly it’s finding out that @Tommy G is really a “local comedian” who works in a pub with links to organised crime.

I wish someone had told Ed Davey that watching football on TV is much better when the screen is facing you.

I wouldn't say he is lying, but he is omitting certain facts.  If they want to actually change something they are going to need cash, so they will have to increase taxes somewhere beyond those they already mentioned.  I do think they manifesto is deliberately non ambitious, and once in power they will push to do more and tax more to get there.
