“The Labour manifesto states they want to raise £80billion in tax revenue and that all of that will come from companies and people earning over £80k a year. That’s simply not credible. You can’t raise that kind of money in our tax system“ Paul Johnson, Institute of Fiscal Studies Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So it’s the same then? Cue the lefties explaining why it’s different Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They do Only slightly different. The Tory one had ; CCHQ in the bio CCHQ in the Twitter handle CCHQ in cover image Labour's fact-checker: Doesn't tell you it's Labour in the name or handle Doesn't tell you it's Labour in any of their branding. Other than that, and the “fact” they started it in Sept, as opposed to Nov, they’re similar. No doubt you’ll be consistent and be critical of Labour as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where are all the black & ethnic minorities, at the back of the bus? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is you who has the problem reading. Those 7% are catered for by a free electoral id scheme . As quoted by C4 fact check here. As you’re keen on The Electoral Commission maybe you should read their report of Dec 15 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At the moment there is a check to ensure people don’t vote twice. So the principle of the state regulating a check is already in place & a given. Bearing that in mind, what is the appropriate check? Someone giving their name and the polling station taking their word for it, or somebody showing their id. I think we all know the answer to that one. No I do not believe there is widespread electoral fraud (maybe 2 or 3 seats) , but that shouldn’t stop us legislating against it. If your argument is we shouldn’t legislate because it doesn’t happen much, then plenty of laws wouldn’t exist. It does go on, there’s no doubt about that, and if it changes one seat, that’s one too many. If there’s one example, that’s one too many. If you’re against the principle of showing Id for anything, that’s one thing. But for labour to demand it to attend events (I doubt there’s widespread attempts from people without it, to attend), then surely the right to vote is more becoming of id than to listen to Diane Abbott’s pony for 2 hours. There can only be two explanations, they’re opposing it for the sake of it and playing political games, or they benefit from it not being in place. I know which one I think it is. Anyway, it’ll now be down to the people to decide. Not you, and certainly not me. If Boris wins, it’ll happen , if he doesn’t it won’t. That’s democracy for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

God, how many more times. The Government proposals (rejected by labour) included this: “Anyone who does not have an approved form of ID will be able to apply, free of charge, for an electoral identity document from their local council” I presume you now back the proposals, or will you find another excuse.

The Government were proposing this exactly. A free ID card to enable people to vote for those who claim they have non. People could even use it to attend Labour Party meetings. We all know why labour oppose it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why would I read anything published by the BBC, and as for the ****ing electoral commission, they’re just as bad. Political appointees, part of the Blairette blob we’ll be clearing out eventually. The simple fact is, everybody has id in this day and age. The most important and fundamental right the people have is to vote. Anyone who doesn’t believe you should prove who you are before doing so is only taking that position because it benefits their side. When the Labour Party make people show id to attend meetings, but argue against it for the vote you know they’ve lost the argument. It’s a very very simple and straightforward question. Should people prove who they are before voting? I can’t think anyone would answer that question , no. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dear god, quoting the BBC as some sort of independent body. As an earlier poster stated. Nobody can really argue with the fact that you should have to prove who you are when voting. I doubt there’s one person eligible to vote who hasn’t got id. However the Government proposals also involved bringing in a new free ID card to use when voting. No doubt the young, poor & ethnic minorities somehow won’t be able to apply for that as well. After getting his WA through, let’s hope voter id and equalising constituency sizes are next on Boris’ agenda. Both of which distort our democracy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So the young, poor & ethnic minority’s don’t show id at post office collecting a parcel? The young don’t show it to buy fags or ale? You have to show it to attend Labour Party events, they must be a party of rich older British then, as the young, poor and ethnic couldn’t get by the id checks. What a load of pony. Id is shown by everyone in the modern world, it’s been shown at NI elections for years and nobody is disenfranchised. Perhaps they’re all rich and old. The reason labour don’t want voter id is because they benefit from voter fraud, pure and simple. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Why won’t labour accept voter id then. Bearing in mind the things we do need id for it’s unbelievable that any reasonable person would complain about showing it to vote. We all know why, including you. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It’s not students that are the main issue, it’s certain “communities “. Chicks told which way to vote, community leaders organising fraud & the buying of polling cards. When you need id to pick up a parcel, and to attend Labour Party events it makes you wonder why they oppose voter id. Well actually no, it doesn’t make you wonder, we all know why.

It’s not just ITV, I had to turn off radio 2 the other day when they had the ****ing idiot singing all day. The dumbing down of political coverage was summed up by that pathetic “debate” last night. If, and I don’t want them, you’re going to have debates then someone like Neil should present them. Ask questions, probe a bit, then get out of the ****ing way. People should watch UTube and see Peter Shore, Barbara Castle etc, taking on Heath and other EU supporters, that’s the way to debate politics. This X Factor type pony, followed by the “spin room” is a ****ing joke. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Awful format. What is the obsession with audience participation and the host butting in every few minutes , it’s made QT unwatchable and these debates are a joke. The stupid Xmas question just about summed it up. Suspect this won’t change the polls, which is ultimately good news for the Tories. But the sooner these debates are binned the better all round.

It made complete sense for the previous HOC to elect the speaker. Apart from one or two exceptions they had all served with the candidates for the length of the parliament. They’d all seen their strengths, characteristics and behaviour. The new parliament could contain 150 newbies who wouldn’t have a clue whether or not Lynsey Hoyle or one of the others would make a good speaker. They would also be under pressure on their first day, without having to pick a speaker. Yet again Soggy fails to see common sense. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
