It shows how bad the state of things are in the UK, when the worst government in living memory (and I do remember a few!) manages to increase its lead over the opposition.

That being said, Labour should not be too downhearted, if the Tories go into the next election with May as leader she will undoubtedly erase the lead PDQ!

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. 

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."

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!

Some MPs clearly don't get or like democracy!

Labour's Fake Teacher

Seemingly his LinkedIn profile claims he is a poet and musician, but not a teacher. Oddly, the profile has now disappeared and he has deleted his Twitter account!

Labour's Cunning Plan!

New Labour policy.
Labour MPs will vote down May deal, cos it fails six tests, push for GE, fail to get one, and then campaign for a public vote in which the choice is solely between the May deal that Labour has already rejected and no deal/Armageddon.
What an offer.

The End is Night For May?

When the Tory leadership election comes you get the feeling it will be a mercy for her in some ways. https://t.co/3BXLQeJLlM
