Who better to know the impact of paper, and drive for a paperless office through IT?

Yeah, that's what we want, this country and it's leaders to crash and burn. 

I know what we should do to spite them, let's vote to leave the EU and really fuck 'em over...oh, wait.

Cliché ridden handjobs who think they’re original by typing a post with the opposite view of what they think, then lumping in an oft repeated student Grant style political comment including “em” to sound like they’re not a pussy, followed by…oh, wait.

Long standing MP Diane Abbott returns from the wilderness.

What is this £630 tax rise? I've not seen that.

Nope, I think the bloke made that up. However, social care is needed and must be funded, so I think a tax / levy is inevitable. We'll see a nibbling of the welfare budget, triple lock will go, but there's no other significant room for manoeuvre unless vat goes up or something daft like that. 

I'd like to see all state benefits means tested as a starter. I know people earning good money getting DLA for their kids and just chuck it in a junior ISA, and adults who earn a fortune but get PIP and lob the cash in a SIPP. 

We need to sift the greedy from the genuinely needy.

Not surprising as Andy is very woolly on the whole issue of paying for his promises, other than reciting the words ‘fully funded’ as if it’s a prayer to a deity for assistance.
