May Judges Public's Mood Correctly
Bizarrely, May might have actually judged the public's mood correctly (for once); namely that people are fed up/despairing over the continued uncertainty, and need this to be settled so that they can move on with their lives.Some really interesting results in Survation poll today re: attitudes to the Brexit deal:— Dom Walsh (@DomWalsh13) November 28, 2018
- Voters support the deal 41%-37% - a huge +10 swing from 2 weeks ago
- Voters, incl. plurality of Leavers + Remainers, want MPs to vote for the deal (Leavers 48-36; Remainers 46-38)
Unfortunately, May's deal (if it does pass) is but one step forward on a very long and winding road!

Austerity Is Over!!!!!!!!!
When Theresa May announced, in her recent conference speech that austerity was over, many in the media and politics dismissed it as BS.
However, I refer you to the news on the BBC today that say senior judges in England and Wales could be set for pay rises of up to 32% if recommendations made by the Senior Salaries Review Body are accepted.
The move aims to address low morale among judges and to compensate them for changes to their pension scheme.
The recommendations would see a High Court judge receive an additional £60,000 a year.
Crown Court judges would receive a 22% rise - taking them to £165,000 - and district judges would get an 8% rise.
Clearly austerity is definitely over, as there is no way judges would get such a stonking pay rise if others in the public sector didn't as well!

"No Vacancy" - But Here Are The Rules!

— Mark Pritchard MP (@MPritchardUK) October 11, 2018
The Duplicitous DUP
Sadly, because of Theresa May's disastrous decision to call and election and then botch it, the country is being run by government propped up by the DUP (who demanded £1BN for their support).This is extraordinary. In the event the DUP vote down the budget: “No10 sources also insisted the move would be a clear breach of the Tory-DUP confidence and supply agreement – meaning Ulster would also have to pay back its £1bn bonus from the government.” https://t.co/cgQiIiunRV— Labour Whips (@labourwhips) October 11, 2018
Now that things are hotting up wrt Brexit, the DUP is relishing its position of "power broker", or more accurately in this case "power destroyer", and is threatening to vote against the Budget if their Brexit "red lines" are crossed.
The DUP claim to want to be treated as the same as the rest of the UK. This is all very well, noble and commendable. However, when it comes to other laws (eg abortion) the DUP are "strangely" reluctant to follow the UK's lead.
Inevitably, as could have been predicted when the confidence and supply deal was brokered by May, this particular house of cards looks like it is about to come crashing down to earth.
As and when it does, I will be most fascinated to see how May gets the £1BN back!

Tories Whipping Labour MPs
Such is the bizarre state of British politics, that we have finally crossed through the looking glass, and are now in a world where Tory ministers are in talks with aaround 25 Labour MPs to secure Theresa May's widely despised Chequers Brexit deal.
Seemingly the Government’s whips’ office has spent recent months making contact with the MPs, as a back-up option for when May’s Brexit deal is put to a vote in Parliament in early December.
Methinks certain Tories will not be best pleased by this!

The End of "Austerity"?
May will have to find at least an extra £20billion to spend on public services to fulfil her pledge that austerity is over, according to the head of the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
Paul Johnson said even that amount of additional funding “won’t feel particularly generous” and would almost certainly have to be found through borrowing because the Government would “really struggle to get tax rises through” Parliament.
Basically, Theresa May shrouded her "end of austerity" in the cloak of "a good Brexit".
The reality is that we have, at this stage, no way of knowing if there will be a "good Brexit" and what, exactly, she means by an end to "austerity".
May has no grounding/understanding in finance/economics so it is very doubtful that she understood what she mean either!

Hammond Is Financially Illiterate
As per The Spectator:
"There are some in the cabinet who still loathe Brexit and regard Chequers as the UK’s opening offer. Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, is expected to push to stay in the customs union and makes no attempt to disguise his concerns about Brexit.Philip, economies are not just supply sided they are also demand driven. Market forces will sort out the imbalance of low skilled EU workers, one way or another!
In cabinet meetings this week, he complained that a restaurant in his Surrey constituency can’t hire enough staff to wait all the tables — proof, he said, that the UK needed low-skilled immigration.
But as one exasperated cabinet minister put it to me afterwards, it didn’t seem to have occurred to the Chancellor that maybe the restaurant should just pay its staff more. And that the balance of power between workers and low-wage businesses might be precisely why so many voted for Brexit in the first place."

The Times reports that Jeremy Corbyn has been summoned for a personal briefing by the head of MI5 on the terrorist threat to Britain amid questions about his approach to national security.
Andrew Parker, the director-general of the Security Service, is expected to give the Labour leader a “full briefing” on the threat from Islamists in Britain and Isis jihadists returning from the Middle East to plot atrocities on home soil.
The MI5 boss also wants to prime Corbyn on the extent of hostile Russian espionage activity and the growing threat from far-right extremists.
Corbyn had been asked to attend the briefing yesterday, but he has had an attack of cold feet and postponed it.

Corbyn Wants To Teach Zionists a Lesson In Irony
I hereby expose Corbyn saying 'Zionists' have 'no sense of English irony' and need to be taught 'lessons, which we could perhaps help them with'. This was a conference alongside many extremists, advertised by Hamas' propaganda website. https://t.co/OdXjqEqTtI

MPs' Dilemma - Walk To Work or Have Speicial MP Only Lanes?
Presumably MPs would then have to walk to work. Or would they have a special access lane? https://t.co/2uYKkhLnJ5— David O'Keeffe (@djokeeffe) August 15, 2018
Tories Turn On Themselves
Brandon Lewis and May have a lot to answer for by causing this.Formal complaint also calls for investigations into Brandon Lewis, Anna Soubry and Ken Clarke. CCHQ announced that they were automatically investigating Boris after they received a complaint – will they be pursuing these with such public vigour as well? https://t.co/G843o4w6TU— Guido Fawkes (@GuidoFawkes) August 15, 2018

Teatime!
via GIPHY
It is quite amazing how certain elements of "society" so loath certain politicians, and their views, that even the simple act of offering a cup of tea enrages them.I'm going to stop using the c-word for a bit on here, as I have been over-using it recently. But before I do: the way he over-says "some tea" here, so absurdly convinced of his own lovable posh maverick-ness, is just unbelievably cunty. https://t.co/m0KbdqRity— David Baddiel (@Baddiel) August 12, 2018
So much hatred and anger cannot be healthy.
I wonder what these people say/would do if someone were to lay a wreath for a group of terrorists?

Rowan Backs Boris - #BurkaGate
Exc:
— Sam Coates Times (@SamCoatesTimes) August 9, 2018
Rowan Atkinson backs Boris Johnson, calls letterbox comment funny and says he should not apologise https://t.co/D1atMrJmez
Those who disagree with Mr Atkinson's views will have to communicate to him in the old fashioned way (by mail), as he doesn't have a Twitter account.
That of course means that many of the retards on the net who spew abuse at all and sundry will be somewhat stymied, as they cannot be arsed to get off their backsides to walk to the post office.

This was Anna Soubry on Question Time in 2013 after Ken Clarke called the burka a “bag”. She had no words of criticism for Clarke. Instead she backed him and said the burka is a “peculiar concept”.... https://t.co/xVVA3nPJAo

Where Are Our Leaders?
The voters know this, and would vote "for anyone but Corbyn or May". The trouble is there is currently no one for them to vote for, this makes for a very dangerous situation as political vacuums are often filled by very undesirable elements.
The solution?
Both Tories and Labour must ditch their respective leaders before it is too late.

A Government of National Unity
1 The national unity governments of the 1930's failed and led to war.
2 The main political parties are at war with themselves.
3 The last government of national unity had Chamberlain has its leader, and failed.
We need a Churchill, not a school mistress or aged anti-semite leading us, thus ruling out the need for a third rate government of national unity.!
