She sounds remarkably like the lead of my offshore team.

Made sure we were all up early enough to beat her to the breakfast buffet

That's the only one I could think of. Apart from Brexit, when did a politician last keep a promise about something important?

Depends what you think is important and whether the person making the promise actually has the power/authority to fulfil it.

David Cameron and the not so trivial referendum?

And proof to some that promises are best when broken. Surely no one believes politicians' promises anyway?

She's a politician, when was the last time a politician kept a promise about something important?

But she made a promise!

You need to see if she keeps to it.

I'm a permie now, I don't care about IR35 any more.

You should write her a reminder.

I've met her a couple of times, she seems very nice. When IR35 kicked off I emailed her about it, but didn't get a reply. When she was campaigning a while later and knocked on our front door I mentioned that she hadn't replied to my email, she apologised and said she was aware of IR35 and ensured me that if the Cons got into power they would repeal it.

Still waiting.

You may as well not bother though some people are so thick they can't work out you never directly voted for any PM unless you live in their constituency.

When government starts meddling in industry, you know what that's called?

Facism.

[LondonManc]

The difference between a socialist dictator and a fascist dictator is pretty close to zero.

It's a complete wraparound spectrum
