    They did but how they implemented it was so bad it didn't really impact us. 13 years labour had and they failed to kill our businesses. 2 years of tories and they have already brought ps contracting to its knees, and we know they have the private sector in their sights next.

    Vote tory. Get what you deserve. They need our money to pay for a hard Brexit. How much are you willing to pay?

      What odds can I get on Corbyn being the next pm. Is it worth a tenner of my hard earned cash?
      How about a tenner on Mrs Crankie? Labour / Lib Dem / SNP coalition with Sturgeon as PM to keep the Scots happy.

        Just because they were incompetent doesn't mean we have to prefer them to the Tories.

        With self employment & Ltd use growing then they have to do something. Someone has to pay for gratuitous New Labour splurges.

            They sat back and allowed the FTV scheme and a supposed "skills shortage" drag rates through the floor though.

            But I guess it is much less trendy to point things like that out, much better to just blame it all on the "nasty heartless Tories".

              A lot of the labour seats are in strong holds so unlikely to lose them. The tory seats are at risk from lib dems and labour - May will probably win but I don't think it will be the margin she wants and possibly even less than she has now.

                I hope the latter.

                I hope she gets a kicking like Zac Goldsmith, who also used Lyton Crossby, did.

                  Does anyone have a comparison between the who hold each seat in each constituency and which way those constiuencies voted in Brexit?

                  Because lets say you normally vote labour and labour are going to campaign to stop Brexit - do you therefore vote tory in the next election?

                  and vice versa?

                  or do you not vote based on brexit but based on which party you want in - whether they want to brexit or not?

                    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                      No idea - maybe the SNP?

                      Would Labour try and use it to gain more votes???
