Brexit negotiations Day 1 - EU owed UK, UK caved in

[motoukenin]

Perhaps what could be meant by May being 'a bl00dy difficult women' is that she doesn't suffer fools (gladly or otherwise)? Makes sense in terms of why they keep her at arm's length from the general public.

The stand off nature of May is due to her being an 'old style' politician, some of the older people on here might confirm that I am too young to have experienced it, but the modern way is to embrace the people make them feel as if your one of them, very powerful politics, as most people cant work out that the deficit will be making us go bankrupt in 25 years and probably don't care.

What the UK need is a leader with the emotional intelligence of Corbyn but the fiscal intelligence of May.

I'm not sure Corbyn was thinking about paying market rates. Anyway how can you say that - it's their right to live in that area.

It's my right to live in the area...

Oh wait

Agreed compulsory purchase on flats in Kensington and Chelsea for 200 - 300 people would be pretty expensive and not good use of public funds.

Corbyn's tax rises are cleverly targeted. He's not proposing a general increase in income tax, which is why he very nearly won the election. If the economy does well then the Tories might hang in there, but that is highly doubtful.

The Tories will have learnt their lesson. Don't advertise what are reasonable tax rises such as removing the winter fuel allowance for those that can afford it.

Corbyn just promises free stuff 'paid for' by some fairly obvious nasty taxes - like the garden one - and some outright dangerous bits - like stealing people's property. The first whiff of him in government and you can guarantee it'll be asset hiding a la 1970s style.

I'm calling a high water mark on Corbyn. In tax 'top trumps' threatening to pinch, sorry requisition people's property beats 'dementia tax' by a good distance.

Day 1 Cluster****: https://www.theguardian.com/politics...he-first-round

Next round is, I believe, 20th July although apparently May is there on Monday to put her twopence in...

That Bloody difficult woman will be coughing up a lot more than 2p

People are not pawns on a chessboard.

Of course they are. Politics is all about people.

And this is all politics.
