I dont accept that any of those things are true, but, if they were, how do any of those impact on poverty, which is what the original post was about?

I dont believe that the poverty policy differentiates
Are you suggesting trans children need more, or less, money?
Or that they are somehow more likely to be poor?

I am a little unsure but if poverty is always defined as a percentage of mean income (or median, average, or whatever) then it is impossible to eradicate
As the mean increases the line for poverty goes up.
It does not necessarily indicate that poor families cant afford things

As someone who likes a crease down the front of his jeans, a fashion not seen since the eighties, I believe you may be 69th

No, they suspended people for voting against the government

If you get elected on a manifesto and then decide that manifesto is wrong the honourable thing to do is resign from the party anyway

Pheww good job Farage kept away from any events that celebrate racism and Nazis…

Doah 🤦🏼‍♂️ Hold on a sec👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Make sure that post isn’t shared for Gawds sake.. so schhh 🤫🤫

thank you for that, but it does actually say that just having PR would not necessarily increase voter participation without other measures

I havent done the research but my gut feeling is that fewer people vote in the elections that use PR and it would no different in a GE
rather than encouraging people it would work the other way
Quite a few of the ones that dont us FPTP end up with unstable coalitions

That should be crowdfunding not crowbars!

Forgive me, I have discussed this with several people on here who thinks its dead easy to rejoin!

PR is just so messy!
First you have to figure out which one of 9 different systems you want, then put that to a referendum, then. If you are lucky, implement it
If you fail to get a positive result the subject is pretty much done forever
Nb 'Yourparty' used FPTP to pick their name

It is a condition of joining but getting 27 countries to agree to let us back in when the polling suggests the next govt would be some form of anti EU coalition would be some feat anyway
Even starting negotiations would be difficult

I rarely contribute to crowbars funding but this could certainly persuade me

We would, it is one of the conditions for new members

Me too, but i think not being able to set interest rates is a biggie

Because i like the pound and getting rid also means getting rid of the bank of england and our own interest rates, doesnt it?

I would turn it down if that was the case

Why do you think an unholy alliance of lab, libdem, greens, snp, and anyone else would be a success?
I dont believe the polls, but if you do you will see that an alliance of tories and reform would still have a majority anyway

That would have been a labour government?

How exactly?

He keeps suggesting he will go up against a well known name
The reality is that he will look for a safe seat, if the greens have one, so he can be in the commons
It would be farcical to have a party leader who is not an MP and he would have to go (see Jo Swinson)

I am not sure what people expected when they called for an enquiry
What new information did they think would come out?

Is Farage still facing scrutiny over his partner’s £885k Frinton home.

Is it aggressive tax avoidance? Has he misled voters? Where’s the transparency? What’s happening?

Just asking questions.

i used to start a book and if i managed 10% i forced myself to read to the end.
Nowadays i can get 50% through it and say
'no, this is rubbish' and stop reading
is that a sign of maturity? old age? or discovering my inner child again?

Dear Hacks,

Neither the Chancellor of the Exchequer nor the Prime Minister’s credibility are not in question. Collectively, you on the other hand have further trashed your believability ratings. Resign

As for the cabinet minister briefing that they’ve been misled, you are duty bound to resign.

Now that the budget is done, can we get back to checking on Nigel Farage and who paid for his house?

Also, can we get on with investigating Reform members' association with Russia?
