You can tell he's trying not to swear or lose it.
The fact we've got Zahawi releasing a generic press release in response and he's the guy who got us to heat his stables isn't a good sign is it? |  |

If you think the Tory are responsible for this world wide crisis , you are seriously deluded my friend ! |
They may not be responsible for the current situation in Ukraine, but they are responsible for the impact of it upon those living in the UK.
They are also wholly responsible for the fact that ambulances are piling up outside hospitals, and elderly people are waiting over 10 hours for urgent assistance. |  |

F**k the Tories, and f**k anyone who continues to vote for or defend this shower of corrupt, incompetent, sociopathic crooks. |
Turned on its head, that’s exactly how tories feel about the rest of society.
F**k anyone who doesn’t vote for them or defend them and f**k anyone who wants an end to corruption, deliberate incompetence and shameful self protection at the expense of the rest of society. |  | | |

We've got the worst inflation out of all the G7 countries. Yes it's bad everywhere but it's particularly bad here. |  |

There's a fag paper's difference between the two main parties on most of the big questions about the economy and public spending. And most of these are legacy issues from decades of underfunding and looking at short-term or pocket-filling measures.
I agree the Tories have turned a lack of care into part of their brand. But in practical terms an almost total lack of interest in changing the status quo will mean Labour aren't going to deliver much more either.
Unless we can find a way to generate energy from hand-wringing and the hot air of empty platitudes. |  |

This whole scenario is going to take a hell of a lot of tough decision making and balls to sort out and put country back on an even keel , I for one would not trust Labour to run the country , be careful what some are wishing for ! | | | |

I agree. This is the same labour party that bankrupted the country last time. Its a choice of incompetent Tories or incompetent Labour! Unfortunately 2 years of shutdowns have furthered the decline, backed by an unchallenging opposition who wanted to lock down harder and faster and then wonder why we are in trouble. Of course I must not challenge the narrative. | | | |

Define ‘the narrative’
So far, all you’ve done is rehash the tediously lazy & uneducated platitudes that plague this country. | | | |

Whilst Labour were at the wheel for the GFC, and most definitely could have done some things better including tighter regulation of the City, it’s staggering that people still believe that the Conservatives are “the party of the economy”.
On the Tories’ watch, we’ve seen the national debt absolutely balloon, stagnant growth due to lack of state investment in infrastructure, highest tax burden since the 1940’s, and not to mention had our sovereign credit rating downgraded. Economically illiterate. | | | |

How does a tax threshold rise help a state pensioner on £9,628 per year? |
By incentivising the lazy pensioner to work harder, clearly. Just because they are pensioners doesn't mean they can't pick crops, drive lorries or retrain as a nurse. |  |

If you think the Tory are responsible for this world wide crisis , you are seriously deluded my friend ! |
Please do elaborate what you think the Tories are responsible for.
Higher inflation than most other countries;
Corrupt Government spending;
Corrupt Government application of rules;
Higher fuel costs than most other countries;
Higher national debt than most other countries (and rising);
Labour shortages;
High levels of child poverty;
Greater differences in affluence across society than most other countries (even to the degree that they themselves pay lip service to a "levelling up" agenda);
Years of failed "austerity";
The Brexit referendum and all that entailed including the version of it they have chosen and applied and including the threat to the union;
Sewage being released into the sea at 25.5 times the rate it was five years ago;
Cuts to public services;
Strikes due to many of the above all on their watch.
Which of these things do you not hold the Government accountable for? Why shouldn't the Government be held accountable for governing? | |

Please enlighten me when this country was declared bankrupt.
Then tell me the level of debt at the end of the last Labour Government and the level now.
The twist of the Tory spin doctors is to get you to believe that they are better with finances than Labour are. All they are better at is cutting taxes and decimating public services and racking up debt as a result. | |

The trouble is they are clueless
If u give everything to the unemployed there is a percentage who just don't want to work better of doing nothing just take.
The people on low incomes
Single people get little help
What they should do is put the tax threshold up to twenty thousand
That would give people a chance
Average people in the pocket would spend more and a lot they would get back through vat
Going to be lots of hassle in the UK come winter |
This is a right mish mash.
Work out what it is you want to say and then consider how you would like to put it across.
Please. |  |

Don't forget they also have an 80 seat majority to turnover as well, has that ever been done? |
That's what worries me. Although we might see a coalition of say Labour and the Greens that encapsulates a chance to really react to these oncoming disasters. | |

Given I said nothing of the sort I'm neither.
I do blame them for killing tens of thousands needlessly, for undoing years of social improvement which Blair and Brown got right, for mass corruption, tax avoidance, for being soulless vultures who put a for sale sign on everything not nailed down, for laying and lying across the benches of parliament whilst calling us lazy, for trying to pay people in claps, for the terrible performance of this nation since Brexit in almost every measure, for demonising foreigners, the poor, the LGBT community and punching down at anyone to avoid scrutiny.
They're nowhere to be seen as the wave hits and that speaks volumes about these bastards. | |

Lockdown was more than justified, even if it was one of the worst things to happen to me in many ways.
The problem is, as with anything it didn't apply to your Lords and masters who carried on as they wanted whilst the rest of us shouldered the responsibility. Always too late to have been really effective.
By all means challenge the narrative, in fact I'd love to see the arguments you have and the facts to go with them. | |

That's the reality of being out of work not your other example. I suspect Guthers is correct and there could possibly be other sources of income with the family who have fake tans. It could be they're getting a nice tan from all of the lights in their loft? |
Quite.
It's bizarre how people like this poster acknowledge how little most people out of work receive before then inventing different amounts others get who are anecdotally in the same position.

We are 75th on the "league table" of inflation with countries such as Spain and Poland with higher %.
Higher national debt than most other countries (and rising);
Number 33 with countries such as Canada and France higher.
Greater differences in affluence across society than most other countries;
Not greater than "most countries", no. 98 on this list, although among the highest in Europe and the "Western" World. |  | | |

I hate this POV. I know people who vote Tory for this reason and it’s utter sh*te.
You’re affectively saying that you’ll continue to vote for the plebs who ARE screwing over the country rather than for Labour just in case they MIGHT do the same. It’s ridiculous. |  |
