If Labour got in (still a big if) Hammond would be able to leave a note saying there's still no money and even more IOU's

If Corbyn were to win there's an upside for me; Watching all the lefties fume as it slowly dawns his combination of sending out the 'come to Britain' signal, boosting benefits and harming business will be a disaster for their personal finances.
Free money wasn't free after all, who woulda though it.......
I suppose its hard for a tory to understand that sometimes people vote for a party that isnt going to be of much benefit for their own finances.0 -

No need to squabble.
I see you and Mrs Abbott were in the same Maths class at school!
I'll keep it simple
Would more people rather a hard Brexit over a soft Brexit?
fact = yes
Would more people rather a hard Brexit over a no Brexit?

Er, what? "Yes," isn't a fact, it's an answer.
The polls I have seen show about 35% of people wanting a hard brexit, the rest wanting something inbetween that and no brexit, or answering, "don't know."0 -
