I'm obviously also her carer.

    And in addition to all this I'm still a successful contractor

    See, if you try hard, against all that life throws at you, success can be achieved. Instead of being a dick why not try and live your life more positively, you never know, you may actually feel better about yourself

    Looks like Labour will be throwing their weight behind Common Market 2.0 this evening. If this goes through it becomes law on Wednesday if it is confirmed.

    Mrs May will then have to enact it whether she wants to or not.

    Apparently Labour have decided to throw their weight behind this option precisely because that would most enrage the Brexiteers in the ERG.

    Meh. Happy to pay my taxes. No mortgage. No other debt. Limited outgoings. Wife pays all the bills and more. What I earn is icing on the cake. If I get taxed a bit more, so be it

    If only brexidiots hadn't voted out eh? Oh well, if brexit delivers a Labour government and destroys the Tories well, it's what they deserve for pushing the leave vote

    If you want cheap debt, get it now!

    Just make sure you can still repay it when they want more back for it in the future.
    Debt is only an issue for those that need it. No mortgage here ... I see only the upside

    Not really thought it through have you? No change there.

    Looking forward to a Corbyn led coalition with SNP, LibDems, Greens et al. The Kippers and gammons will explode, so win-win

    It'll cost the country, but as they say about Brexit, it will be worth it
