And my pension pot increased by well over 10% last year not counting payments, obvs.

Maybe you should consider a low cost tracker?

If you are honest you know that by far the majority of normal EU residents don't give a monkeys about the UK & they are neither laughing nor cheering. That from someone who travels the EU on a regular basis and with French family.
I politely suggest that you try not to let your personal stance turn you into a forum pariah.

Women and middle-aged voters are punishing Theresa May following controversies over the “dementia tax” and school meals, an exclusive poll reveals today.

The Ipsos MORI research for the Evening Standard reveals significant shifts to Labour among women and the 35-54 age group — the “pinched generation” juggling caring for ageing parents and their own children.

Oooops - down 10 points in 14 days - are we heading for a hung parliament?

the laughable point i find is that the conservative party ramble on about labours debt and so do its followers, yet they fail to acknowledge that we all live in a debt based economy. Without the debt we would be like our grandparents.

Yup, this next week will be an interesting one for sure.

But here's a piece from Auntie Beeb on polls, published just a few hours ago:

However, there are big discrepancies between recent polls which make them extremely difficult to interpret. Polls always need to be treated with caution. The current variation makes this particularly important.

So much to be excited about

• Diane Abbot as Home Secretary
• John McDonnell as Chancellor
• Rebecca Long Bailey as Bus Sec
• Angela Rayner as Ed Sec

Yippee. Can't wait.

there was a poster somewhere that said "lets spend the £350m on the NHS instead", which I took to be a suggestion, not a statement of intent, I'm not really sure why anyone would

Quite often my friends say "lets go to the pub", it doesn't always mean we end up there, it was just a suggestion

Enough please.
Anyone who spent anytime thinking and talking about Brexit BEFORE the referendum must be living under a rock if they were NOT aware of the BIG RED BUS with the slogan painted on the side
"We send the EU £350 a week let's fund the NHS instead vote leave"
Boris Johnson toured the country in it together with a number of high profile Brexit people including Farage.
It was on the news and written about on numerous occasions.
Anyone who did not think it had an impact probably believes that advertising does not influence their buying habits.
"The Red Bus" will be a case study in business schools for years to come as will the remain (failed) campaign.

Thank you, thank you. I am in catch up mode 4 or 5 pages behind and thought the "honestly never heard or never saw" during the Brexit campaign" clap trap would go un challenged.

Repetition.

You've posted this rubbish before. And I answered.

Are you starting to feel guilty by any chance? About the massive amount of debt your party is going to get us in to ???
