NHS is going bust. I blame Tory mismanagement. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7716123/Jeremy-Corbyns-sons-firm-goes-liquidation-owing-100-000.html

P.S. the guy who put his pension money into this needs his head checking. Who does that???

Must have been 'high' at the time.

Well I woke this morning to a very nice bribe from Labour this morning. £15,000 - £30,000 if I vote for them. Does anyone have further details of when they will pay me? Only £58 bn.

Just done the calculations based on the news that they are offering £100 per week that waspi were “affected” and I’m due £29,700. Interesting that it cuts off women born after 6 April 1959. Luckily my three female friends start at Jan 1952 until July 1955 so we are “all right jack” I feel a nice summer holiday coming on in 2020 maybe a cruise to New York or one of those expensive train journeys?

And completely absent from their 'costed' list of proposals.
Hopefully someone will ask them on air why they think it will be fair that a woman born 31/12/59 should be given a £30k bung, no matter how well off they are, whilst someone born a day later deserves nothing?

Yes an unfunded £58bn, to try to buy the votes of the WASPI women(And their families).

Watching The Andrew Marr show this morning the distressing thing about them discussing this is that it is being pitched as “women have had their own money stolen by the government”. And No one seems to be challenging this view, no one mentioned that this was proposed in 1993 and agreed in 1995 and in fact the Labour government of 97-10 had ample opportunity to change it if they hadn’t agreed.

I wonder if Labour will allow WASPI age men to self identify as women and claim this pension payment!?

It sounds like Labour should change their mantra to ‘For the few, not the many’

Needless to say WASPI and backto60 are giving this announcement mixed reviews :rotfl: there’s going to be an almighty bust up between those who will benefit, and those who won’t.

Fear not my friend. As the polling numbers deteriorate the promises will get larger and everyone will get lots. What’s a trillion gazzilion budget deficit between friends? The billionaires are going to fund it once they move their businesses elsewhere.

A fact conveniently not mentioned by Marr.
The Labour rep could not answer one question, though Marr did little to interrupt her while she was talking.
Compare that with his discussion with Gove, embarrassing that as soon as Gove started to answer everything Marr was making noises and talked over him, and this went on for three or four sentences.
Shameful embarrassing interviewing by Marr usual.
A common trait of BBC interviewers is that they cannot help themselves interrupting and arguing with leavers.

I saw Angela Rayner get a good grilling off Tory today, Andrew Marr but couldn't watch Michael Gove as he makes me feel nauseous.
Maybe if you feel angry watching Marr, get Laura Kuensberg, Johnson's own personal interviewer to do it.
On Question Time last week Johnson got completely skewered by healthcare professional on the subject of the NHS.
He got a good laugh when mentioning honesty as it isn't his strongest subject.
There was the usual plant in the audience, a South African Tory.

Marr completely cornered Rayner. She did not have an answer for anything. Yes Marr repeated the question for her, but if he had enough bite in his interviewing as he did Gove, he could have finished off Labour there and then, but he didn't.
Not sure if I agree about Laura K. Spins her own story, tells us what we should be thinking. Rather than inform, a number of interviewers also try to influence which is totally wrong. Careful editing can sway a number of gullibles or those who can never make up their mind.
Never underestimate the power of the BBC and the impact they alone can have with the messages they want to feed.
