Pure nonsense! The BBC news website had the pound crashing as their main headline last night. The current main headline is about Labour saying the tax cuts benefit the top 1% of the population.

Perhaps you should check it yourself, rather than believe what someone is saying on Twitter? 

He’s not wrong though there isn’t anything on the front page about the pound crashing till you get to the paper section.

Don't post on here often, but read it every day. Can't sit by and watch @Ozanne getting picked on for doing little other than make a polite 'point of order' request without my saying something. F

Obviously horrible news. But I think pointing the finger at Rayner is not only unfair to her, but also serves to help silence critics of the Tories. Don't forget that over the years, BJ's words h

There was last night when the news broke!

I’m sure there was, but there wasn’t when that screen shot was taken and isn’t now.

It's old news, because it happened yesterday. You don't keep the same story up as the main one for days on end (unless it's the Queen!).

It’s the top story on Sky News and they lead with it on their TV channel too. It’s not old news as the pound has crashed and is still like that.

You said the BBC is "propping up the Tories". They led with the story yesterday. Today they are leading with the story about Labour calling out the tax cuts. Can't you ever admit you are wrong?

That guys tweet wasn’t wrong though, your point was about it not being there now and checking it. I did check and that guy was correct.

If it makes you happy, I was wrong.

Re-read my post. I said it was on there last night. I never said it was on there now!

Anyway, I'm off now to compose an email to the BBC, asking why the Titanic sinking isn't on their news website! 😛

You said to not believe someone on Twitter which would indicate that what he’s saying isn’t true, it wasn’t clear you were referencing my comment, apologies.

More policies from Labour.

You’ll face an inescapable choice come the next election either vote for Labour with this very encouraging green agenda or the Tories who want to start fracking again.

      made a last minute decision to go to Belladrum festival.   it was absolutely wonderful.   never been before, to be honest I think I was expecting a stage in a field and a burger van, but its nothing at all like that.   the site is beautiful, its small enough to get around, but big enough that there are things to discover round each corner, there are a good number of small stages tucked away.   you could quite easily convince yourself you were in Glastonbury in places.   I may have only been one time, but already learned a valuable lesson - the site itself may be Glastonbury like, but the "general camping" campsite is very much Reading like! as the morning mist rises... its a view like the Do Lung Bridge scene in Apocalypse Now...   so if you are not 15 years old, go to family or quiet camping which is fantastic.   its a real family friendly festival to - loads of families and kids of all ages running round and stuff for them to do.   I would 100% recommend it, and I really can't see any reason why I wont be going back next year!   🙂

      No not, yet but it should be any day now, hopefully. I'm sure I saw something about them arriving this week, somewhere, but I can't remember where I saw it....
