Rich is how much money you have, not how much money you earn. I'm far less well-off than quite a few of my colleagues who earn the same amount because their parents gave them a deposit for a house and paid their tuition fees. I'd vote for anyone who promised a wealth tax (particularly a property ta...

So Bojo says it would be hard to say no if the Americans asked/told them to support an attack on Syria.

:roll: OK comrade what am I delusional about? That everything is up for negotiation? Will they get a free trade deal or not? That post is from you: This 'hard brexit' lie is tedious.

Of course she would say that wouldn't she? I don't think they are saying give us the exact same access single market membership but pretty close to it. It's all up for negotiation.

Agreed. Even in London £70K is a very good salary and you can live comfortably and probably own a flat however you probably wouldn't be called 'rich'.

I've heard it said that there are no two countries on earth with closer ties than Australia and New Zealand. Is this true? What about the U.K.?

So what do we think of Labour's policy of pay rise to all NHS staff and scholarships for nursing students? It's probably a vote winner with NHS employees but I doubt the country can afford that much of an increase to spending without using more Robin hood taxes. I don't think it will be a net gain ...

they argued that rather than viewing a Macron victory as an "endorsement of the EU" and a mandate to push on with more of the same, it should be viewed as a brief reprieve and a "last chance" of sorts. the fact that two parties running on anti-EU platforms gained over 40% of the vote should be note...

Yep agree with. Tax policy should be flexible. I think I agree more with May's version of Conservatism than Cameron's.
