Osborne Considers Approving EU Funds For Greece

George Osborne has signalled that he could allow the use of a controversial European Union fund to help provide Greece with a short-term loan - but only if the UK is protected from a possible default

This is how it starts, another climb down on the way? :hmmm:

A 94-year-old Nazi has been found guilty of 'facilitating mass murder' for his role in the confiscation of wealth from poor, vulnerable, politically-disadvantaged people.

I never realised that Iain Duncan Smith was so old.

Bad news everyone looks like we're have to keep our bio suites on, the government has ruled out water canons to wash away their BS.

Here ago again Tories back in power and wanting to stop workers rights....



Didn't the Tories only get in with 37% of the vote???, with 63% telling them to piss off....

Not long before all strike action will be outlawed then the unions, result this will put labour in the brown stuff.

You can tell the election is over.

Government must be running out of ideas to hide the real figures. Mine you they got four years to come up with new super ideas to loose the real figures forever.

Yes, but Sturgeon is playing the game too. I wonder if the Fox hunting bill was introduced as they knew what was going to happen.

However I sit next to a hardcore SNP/Independence supporter and everything is a conspiracy from the BBC, to any UK party. Gets tiresome listening to it. Mhairi made a good speech granted however I am distrustful.

I don't like the Tories, and I'm sure the SNP will run them close, but it is the politics of destruction which in the long run will cause more resentment. Of course then SNP are riding the wave but it is the politics of divisiveness.

It would appear Jeremy Corbyn is currently ahead in the Labour Party leadership race.

Quickest way to destroy a party and become totally unelectable to the British public...

Andy Burnham 5\6
Yvette Cooper 11\4
Jeremy Corbyn 7\2 (was 8\1 just under two weeks ago)
Liz Kendal 10\1

It's a pity, because I do like Corbyn, but he's just going to be cannon-fodder for the Tory spin cycle. :nope:

It could be argued that Len McCluskey is currently the most dangerous man in UK politics atm.

Relax baby Mr Big is here.....


I always wanted to do that. :haha:


Why is anyone getting so worried about Jeremy Corbyn? We all know Labour hasn't a hope winning the 2020 general election so if old Jeremy Corbyn is the leader he will step down and make way for a proper leader. Best thing for Labour if he wins as the end result they will finally understand why they are not electable and dump the backward thinking Unions.

The New LibDems Leader is...

Tim Farron is the new leader of the Liberal Democrats, the party has announced.

I just hope you LibDems will never ever jump into bed with the Tories ever again.


And now stinking news..

Quote:

MPs' salaries will rise from £67,060 to £74,000, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority has announced.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-33552499

This is so wrong. :nope:

BossMark 07-17-15 01:31 AM

Tim Farron is the new leader of the Lib Dems.

For those of you asking "Who?", it's a political party.

I think you're being a tad disingenuous old fruit.

Quote:

The pay rise would not cost any money because it was being combined with cuts to expenses, pension and severance payments for MPs.
Added to the above...

Quote:

In future MPs' pay would rise in line with average rises in the public sector.
Not the best timing when considering current austerity measures I agree but the writing has been on the wall for a long time now and MP's pay is not comparable to those enjoyed by politicians abroad, many countries with a lower standard of living than the UK.

Over to you Labour guys, does he have a point?
