I can't see 30p Lee being long for his job or parliament frankly. If your only message is forever trying to blame poor people, asylum seekers etc, eventually you'd imagine even the poor people who are often attracted to this kind of defective shite will realise he's talking about them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-64573457Another Tory with a terrible sniff...

People on here are generally very critical of Nicola Sturgeon. But she is far more sensible and progressive than the Westminster government. There is a cost of living crisis and she is today changing income tax rates to add 1% on income tax on income over £32k, and another 1% on income over £125k. She is also making small benefit changes.
The outcome will be average incomes falling by £210, the poorest tenth gain £580.
At least she is trying to help those who need it most. In my view it should be coming from a capital wealth tax rather than income tax rises for middle earners.

If that's the way he conducts all of his interviews he'll be gone by Easter, he sounds equally despicable as the thick pratt that unfortunately represents part of our city.

Has Dom been on the gear? Fuck me, that's scary! Probably all coked up like much of Westminster. Watching the total adulation and fangirling of Zelensky yesterday was pretty hideous viewing. One can absolutely admire Zelensky's efforts and impressive achievements thus far but there was something a bit creepy about it all.... It was very much what you'd expect from the "West", thats for sure. All it needed was Ellie Goulding to make another Kyiv esc performance and start shouting out about climate change.

Positive start, coming out swinging and not backing down. Clearly knows his stuff with that question about “Have you ever told a lie?”, pretty much confirming he is a liar but it’s ok because everyone does it - good message to have from the vice chair of the Tory party and that could well be their slogan at the next election. “Lying? It’s ok, we all do it from time to time” Smart to drop the wages point in about what he originally said - it was never £30,000 it was always “more” than £30k and £35k is definitely more than £30k (although £35k wasn’t originally mentioned but good to compromise on £32,500. Here’s the original tweet for context: Man of the People, knows his local area and it’s history - There’s a new sheriff in town!

As such a die hard remainer, don't you think her view of parting with the UK is a little hasty?

Is there not a fair question to be asked around why a nurse on 30k (or more) is using a food bank? Why are they claiming to use food banks? I know guys in the private sector who have a family on less than 30k who still live an incredibly fulfilling life, taking one holiday abroad per year or more and respecting their line of work. The average salary of the UK is around the 30k mark so that'd mean we have tens of millions lining up in food banks. Tell me why someone on 30k a year is using a food bank. P.s let me add.. 30k a year plus the perks that private sector workers could only dream about ie 20% off in super markets, pension etc etc.

The point was he’s now upped his figure to £35k when this isn’t what he originally said.

Does it seem likely to you that a whole cohort of people have suddenly decided, completely independent of each other, to start abusing what the food banks have to offer? Have to say it doesn't to me, but each to his own etc.

Well you must think it at least somewhat likely or you wouldn't have mentioned it. You don't think it's just more likely that given the appalling job this government are doing that more people actually need them? I can't understand why people who previously haven't seen the need to use food banks all of a sudden decide they do for no other reason than personal gain? Why now but not before?
