Why did George Osborne read the Guardian in the House of Commons?
Ed Balls did an article in the guardian last Friday about the 1.7bn.
George pointed out that not once did Ed mention the rebate.
Unlike the EU press release on 27/10/14
Which gave NO figures. Give it up - the public have spoken in favour of the government on this and Balls has been found out today by a cleverer opponent.
Which part of "Let me point out in this respect that the UK will benefit from the UK rebate for the additional payments in 2014. This will be budgeted in May 2015 when the UK rebate is recalculated." in the attached do you not understand.
I repeat - it gives NO figures - and that's why neither you, or more importantly, Ed Balls, UKIP or anyone else said a word about it till we got £850m. The British public know who to trust when dealing with money and it ain't the EdnEd show.
That Conservative block is mighty solid. The essence of swingback, in fact - those that still support the government after 3+ years are genuinely a solid block, and the government will [normally] only add to them.
If I were a Labour supporter, I'd goggle at the fact that 1 in 6 current Labour supporters in fact seem to prefer the idea of five more years of the Conservatives, never mind the state of mind of UKIP supporters and swing voters.
I wonder if, while scheming behind Blair's back in support of his Master Mr Brown a decade ago, Ed Balls ever thought that a few years later he'd be so completely out-thought - nay utterly outclassed - on a daily basis by his opponent on what he must think is his home turf brief?
I secretly shuddered when I heard the news of Balls's Urgent Question this morning. Balls should have kept schtum. There was only going to be one outcome. Sigh.
Like - we're on opposite sides but if only some of the other leftie posters on here had your insight into realpolitik..

Well most PB Tories felt stupid for defending GO over I have halved the Bill and actually admitted so when they saw this press release. You are special
As screaming eagles says, the hatred comes from UKIP. That you spout on about 'white' working class shows your prejudice and bigotry.
This kind of comment is the very thing Lord Ashcroft is annoyed about. The plain fact is that millions are either voting UKIP or contemplating it. The conservatives will need a deep reservoir of these votes to get anwhere close to the winning post.
In what world are you going to win someone's vote by labelling them a bigot.
Then the intolerants should stop coming out with their racial 'ting tong' comments. They should also decide what the priorities of hate are. Poles are white and have a strong christian work ethic. But UKIP hate them. Putin of course is a totalitarian atheistic dictator and kippers love him. I guess because he is a crude nationalist which Farage and other thick kippers associate with 'strong'. Just how do you argue with proponents who spout this rubbish (as opposed to voters who are subject to the propaganda) without pointing out just what they are?
I neither hate Poles, nor love Putin.
I can hear the kipper rhetoric and dog whistles and the inferences about Romanians and I can hear Farage praising Putin and Reckless praising Gadaffi. You may be totally incapable of joining the dots but I can.

Ha ha ha - not special, just right - did you not see the polling which backs Cameron on the issue? Try reading BenM post - you might just learn something. BTW - were you really counting up the PB Tory comments - how amusing.
I am sure it is just me but has Ashcroft's pollsters responded to the derision occasioned by the early volatility by the application of a thick layer of concrete?
Or is there some sort of technical reason why this might happen as they build up a bigger data base?
There were so many straw men in that post of Flightpath's it is untrue.

I'm not fooled by your pretence. I can hear the dog whistles. Kipper ideology is founded on hate and they are happy to peddle socialism when it suits them. The more I hear the less I like.
I noticed that the survey you took at the weekend showed marked Ukip tendencies. Are you a "shy kipper" by any chance?
Don't hide it any longer. Step out of the closet and say it loudly. "I'm a Kipper, and I'm proud."
The quiz was flawed.
The Kippers today have reminded me of why I'd sooner trap my manhood in the door than vote UKIP.
Forced deportations of immigrants was one such suggestion.
No one seriously believes in forced deportations of immigrants, I'm sure a few like the idea, you could find them in any party, especially if they'd had a beer or two.
Deportations of serious criminals, I have no problem with that.

My prediction is now getting close to it, after the SNP surge and the developments in Kent and the Midlands my forecast is now LAB 298, CON 252, SNP 31, LD 27, UKIP 20.
The difference from my last forecast is essentially 21 gains for the SNP from Labour and an extra 8 gains for UKIP (6 from the Tories, 1 LAB and 1 LD)

Many (perhaps most) racially derogatory terms had originally innocuous etymological origins. That doesn't make them any less offensive now.
Why did the Kippers at the BBC invent the racist character Ting Tong?
Why do you assume that the original use rather than the later use was racist? And why should kippers casually use and condone derogatory racial epithets, whatever their origin?

Are really defending the use of that term because it was on a subversive(ish) sketch show?
They had a sketch where a WI woman puked all over some children because she realised the cake she's eaten came from a little asian girl. Does that mean a kipper vomiting because an 'ethnic' touched their food is perfectly ok and not in any way a sign of their racism. FFS.
The top 1% now pay 27.5% of ALL tax in this country.
Don't the top 1% possess even more wealth than that? Why should we be grateful to them for paying that tax, when they've only earnt as much money as they have in the first place on the backs of the rest of us?
I earn a reasonably high salary, I struggle to see whose backs this is earned off though, please enlighten me.
I grew up on a council estate and have worked hard and put myself out over many years to get to where I am today - comments like yours are just frankly pathetic simplistic rubbish.

If that's what you believe, then you should be disgusted by Janice Atkinson's casual use of the term. But UKIP have just selected her as a Parliamentary candidate in one of their target seats.
Why did George Osborne read the Guardian in the House of Commons?

That's a very clear and concise reponse from the commissioner and shows as I have said all along that Britain was always due the rebate.
Osborne probably didn't know and probably had this pointed out to him at ECOFIN. Spotting the opportunity he merged the two items together and came up with this "halved" announcement.
What the whole episode shows is the clear ignorance in Britain of the EU and how it works. OK, I expected a rebate to apply (didn't know exactly how much), but then again I'm a pointy headed pro EU type.
Still, it misses the essential political point that after Osborne fluffed it on Friday by scuffing the ball towards his own goal with the keeper beaten, Balls has managed to lash the ball against the bar and look on forlornly as it rebounded back towards his own net with Osborne smashing it joyfully home.

If you manage workers what is the ratio of your salary to theirs? How does that compare to 30 years ago?
First reaction? SNP & UKIP look like buys, possibly LDs too. It follows that the big two are sells, but the balance between them could tip a lot over the next six months, and hard to tell which way, so probably best left alone for the moment.

Poor Ed Balls. The matrimonial gloating over the dinner table tonight is going to be unbearable.
Have you married your "partner" yet, antifrank?
Not yet. I would have had to dissolve the civil partnership in order to marry him, which seemed like a chore. They're sorting that glitch out by regulations.
There's always the possibility that I might be turned down, of course. I can't take such things for granted.

You castigated TSE for being "clueless about betting" the other day, so I'm most amused to see you think you'll win this bet. You may like to think the LibDems are done and dusted, but that's your personal opinion talking, not your objective reasoning. Look back at the last 30 years of voting and watch how adept the LibDems are at amassing their support where they need it. And now look at the last 30 years of UKIP voting. Oh, wait a minute …
Innocent_Abroad, if you're around I have just seen your post this morning about Mrs T. Brilliant post: from my own memory you're spot on. She was NOT liked in 1978/9 and had there have been a strong male leader the Tories would have thumped Callaghan after the freezing winter of discontent. I remember being in a Conservative constituency planning meeting in early 1979 and almost no-one present was supportive of her. There were a lot of kipper types: old little-England farts grumbling at how things were changing for the worst. As it happens, and in a way, they were of course correct. One thing Margaret Thatcher was most certainly not: a conservative.

What the whole episode shows is the clear ignorance in Britain of the EU and how it works. OK, I expected a rebate to apply (didn't know exactly how much), but then again I'm a pointy headed pro EU type.
Still, it misses the essential political point that after Osborne fluffed it on Friday by scuffing the ball towards his own goal with the keeper beaten, Balls has managed to lash the ball against the bar and look on forlornly as it rebounded back towards his own net with Osborne smashing it joyfully home.
My sides are aching.

I RECKON ABOUT TO WITHDRAW
First reaction? SNP & UKIP look like buys, possibly LDs too. It follows that the big two are sells, but the balance between them could tip a lot over the next six months, and hard to tell which way, so probably best left alone for the moment.
The spreads are big, so trading in and out won't be easy. Betfair is better for that.

There's always the possibility that I might be turned down, of course. I can't take such things for granted.
Innocent_Abroad, if you're around I have just seen your post this morning about Mrs T. Brilliant post: from my own memory you're spot on. She was NOT liked in 1978/9 and had there have been a strong male leader the Tories would have thumped Callaghan after the freezing winter of discontent. I remember being in a Conservative constituency planning meeting in early 1979 and almost no-one present was supportive of her. There were a lot of kipper types: old little-England farts grumbling at how things were changing for the worst. As it happens, and in a way, they were of course correct. One thing Margaret Thatcher was most certainly not: a conservative.
Is that better Malky, you tartan cockroach?
Its the BBC attacking racism in a very crude way, you fool. They are also having a dig at the WI as well, possibly associating it with Whitehouse (Mary) perhaps.
