I got bored after yet more of the slimey Labour spin doctor refusing to answer a yet another straight question
Soldato
Sorry did I miss the question Boris answered?

How come there's been such a massive swing on this, the most Tory or forums?

Oh for goodness sakes, don't go introducing facts into the middle of a "won't someone please think of the starving children, only Jeremy can save our babies" drama...
So if i've read it correctly the tory policy it would mean ALL children get a free breakfast and those from low income families also (continue) get a free lunch. Presumably this would also provide 30mins or an hour of additional free child care for working parents in the mornings.
Given that I must be missing why all the wailing and gnashing of teeth... Have I missed something or is this another one of those labour throw away lines which looks good for a bit of drama and hand wringing as long as you don't bother to look at the actual suggestion?
The conservatives have budgeted 7p per child and not included the cost of dinner ladies.
Have they rather sensibly budgeted for predicted numbers rather than 100% attendence?
No idea, like I say after the Labour spin doctor set the tone in the first few seconds with repeatedly refusing to answer a straight question with a straight answer preferring instead to trot out his script of patronising waffle I got bored and gave up watching.
Exactly - how many yes / no questions did that slimy whiny Labour drip refuse to answer lol.
No wonder Boris got frustrated having to deal with that.
Some people are embarrassed about their search history becoming public, some are worried about having to look after their elderly relatives rather than rely on the state to do it and some believe the fantasy lottery win we will all share in...

Listen to his interview today, whatever 'win' he supposedly had last night has been eroded with that car crash interview that was so bad it was headlining on the BBC 6 o'clock news. The SNP will rout Labour in Scotland again and the UKIP masses will gravitate back towards the Tories. I'm struggling to understand who it is Corbyn, Abbott and McDonnell are supposed to appeal to? People who don't remember or don't know about the 1970s I'm thinking.
No because it's an impossible fictional scenario, just like a Brexit deal that could possibly be worse than no deal.
If only there was an alternate reality where we could enjoy a labour win and the ensuing car crash without it actually destroying the united kingdom.
SO its alright for Boris to just make stuff up then instead? Both of them behaved like kids and both needed taking over my knee and spanked IMO

I sent my vote this morning.
Polls seem to be showing labour falling now slightly.

No more terrifying than who we have now.

I have no figures. It just makes sense to me though.

So do we think there a tangible mood shift among the voting public? I am beginning to sense it but am not sure it will be reflected in the election.

Debt/Defecit, whatever you want to call it has been MASSIVELY increased by the Tory party. Strong and Stable? I think not. And this is while cutting services left, right and centre!
I know it was a few pages back, but my god the misunderstanding.
You say debt has increased MASSIVELY by tories i.e. 2010 to end. Looks to me like 85% in 2015 compared to 71% in 2010. 85/71 = 19.7%, so over 5 years that's just under 4% per year as a function of GDP.
Now lets look at the previous 3 years over Labour govt: 71% in 2010 compared to 37% in 2007. So that's 71/37 = 91.9%, which over 3 years is over 30% PER YEAR.
That will be done by HUGELY increasing the DEFICIT, which is what was inherited by the conservatives in 2010. In order to have that debt graph to anything but keep ballooning from 2010 onwards, the conservatives (rightly) started to peg back the deficit as fast as was practicable. I think this has largely been accepted as definitely the right thing to do, and although they haven't been quite as successful in reducing debt as they aimed, the alternative (less austerity) is just laughable.
And yet still we have people trying to claim that the Conservatives have somehow mismanaged the country's finances. Facepalm in the extreme
