May Vs Corbyn

PMQ's time..

Not much to say, dull.

May 1 - Jezzer 0

As for the budget, it did not look like much apart from racking up personal debt again as they dangled the debt choc bar under the noses of the young.

Hey, is it true old Jezzer blew up and lost his coolness responding to the Chancellor?

This one is for you Mrs May..

^ to be fair it is not Mrs May's fault. She was not for brexit, but now has to deal with what should have been the work of Nigel Farage, or Boris Johnson. They should sit through this mess.
But as we all know they ran away as soon as they got what they wanted

She's the PM...Just.

It seems a week can not go by without this and that bringing her a headache. She is unfit to be PM and to be honest they all are!

Its all going to the dogs, oh wait I hear the dogs are leaving the country. Its all going to the cats, oh wait they are to busy crapping on my lawn...mice?

Oh just to add from the budget lets give the government a clap for bringing down the waiting time to claim UC from six weeks to five.

It would appear Australia and New Zealand have awoken to the potential reality on a post Brexit trade deal.

The UK should/must not turn its back on the Commonwealth.

Australia has criticised the UK's post-Brexit trade plans to split quotas of food imports from around the world.
EU rules allow for a certain amount of goods to be brought in from countries outside of the Union without charging full tariffs.

^I wonder how Farage will re-act to that one?

Jimbuna · 11-25-17, 08:24 AM

I doubt he cares anymore having achieved (almost) what he first set out to do.

Warning...when you join the Labour Party you run the risk of dying from pornography, we recommend you do not watch any pornography what so ever.

I'm not particularly a fan of Arlene Foster but somebody had to get the message across.

Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Arlene Foster has said Sinn Féin must choose between making a deal with them or having direct rule ministers in place.

Agreed, wonder if SF is up to something.

They'll just keep going back to the ballot box because their vote seems to increase every time.
