He wanted to know if he was one of the people you had on ignore.
-
Labour aside, there's well-known negative connotations attached to that rag that mean it will be looked at unfavourably. I'm sure you know that anyway.
-
Also from non-racist Labour voters up north. Source, people I know who aren't racist.

Is Wales a Sovreign Country? No. Is Wales a Constiuent Country? Yes. Is Wales classified as a country by the IOS? Yes. Anyway, I really need to stop talking about this and sleep 😂 If you need any more info, Google is your friend. Literally just Google "is Wales a country?" and see what comes up.
-
Close enough I suppose
-
So mad to still be debating this, but bringing up principality status is at least more relevant (but still wrong) - Wales was classed as a principality by the International Organisation of Standardisation until 2011, when it was reclassified as a country.
-
Yep, same classification as Wales, Scotland and England
-
I just know that it is a country now - it is a constituent country of the sovereign country of the UK. That is what Wales is. You can call it a nation as well, but it is also a country.
-
That doesn't say something completely different - it actually confirms Wales as being a country, since there is a Welsh Government 😅 The UK government refers to the UK as a country of countries.
-
Sovereign Country is a specific title, which refers to the UK. Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland are the 4 Constituent Countries that make up the UK.
-
Pointless has long established that only Sovreign Countries are acceptable answers when they ask for countries as an answer. In real life, Wales is by definition a country.
-
Yeah that's incorrect, Wales is one of 4 constituent countries of the UK (which is the sovereign nation/country).
-
I thought that was a satire account at first, but its actually him isn't it
-
Bet you Labour still get a Majority
-
56% Lab, 20% Tory I was messing around with the parameters and noticed that in all of the combos I did, Postgraduates were more like to vote Tory than Undergraduates. I assume its something to do with more people from certain backgrounds doing Postgraduate studies, rather than the more concerning inference that smarter people are voting Tory.
-
These results further support the suggestion of a Labour Majority come GE. If anyone still seriously thinks it'll be a Minority, you can get 11/2 on it now.
-
Yeah for sure this is a mild/shallow recession - its not media spin, its what analysts are calling it (and what it is relative to other recessions). Of course that's still not a good thing, but it is a factual description. It would still be called the same under Labour.
-
"The Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, placed a large portion of the blame on the Bank of England’s interest rate hikes." Looks like someone agrees with you, Ozanne 😉
-
Put another way, anyone with a salary of £60k or more has paid more of a proportion of their income as tax than the PM (assuming they are not also offsetting with ridiculous capital gains). (It's possibly even as low as £50k, which I know is a big salary - but not as big as £2.2m).
-
I think maybe what he's going for, but its actually just an indictment of the tax system in the UK - I'll sound like a broken record, but this is why CGT needs to be higher. He's paid around 25% tax on his income sources, which is obviously a lot lower than the 45% rate he would be paying if all of the income was a salary.
-
You're right, the point is being disappointed with Labours constant backtracking and purpling into Tories
-
The saddest thing is, backtracking on the 28bn is one of the easier to swallow pills compared to some of the other things over the past year. Must be a pretty hefty back catalogue Labour have got now.
-
Saw that coming
-
I'd be interested to see the figures on impact to the economy. I'd guess it doesn't make much difference, but you never know with these things. The optics are big though, and removing the cap in first place was regressive, not to mention encourages the wealth divide.
-
Correct, also reduce IRs to 0% again so poor old George can afford his mortgage please.
