A majority who post regularly on here are on the left to some degree. It’s  reflected in the parties they support. It’s nothing to hide but when people who are on the left say their views generally reflect the centre, that’s when it goes wonky. 

 

Merry Christmas mate.

A climb down is akin to u turn. Announcing it after parliament ended is poor form too. 

They haven’t climbed down though have they? They have just adjusted the level at which it kicks in. They haven’t ditched the bill.

This would have been the U-est if U-turns had the previous government did it, yes?

There will never be a u-ier U-turn than the previous govt u-ey u-turn in COVID, when they insisted on kids going back to school in January, only to change their minds after ONE day, this ensuring not only a damaging lockdown, but also that it went on longer because everyone had a day to sneeze and snot on each others kids before sending them home to their parents.

Lethal consequences for some too.

So it's going to take something more than adjusting a limit on some tax before they get close to u-iest.

The argument isn’t that the current Government is good. It’s now an attempt to say the current lot aren’t as bad (by opinion) as the last lot. The shift in terminology says enough about how things are going already. Things will definitely get better in 2026…….
