Just saying ....
Interesting Labour MPs following a line on 'in the 2010 Conservative manifesto'.......Cameron has a decent reply 'after four and a half years, Labour finally want to talk about the economy.....'
It's almost made me wish tim was back
Which is a shock, because I thought he would have to quit after crying at Thatcher's funeral.
I have this image of Ed Balls visiting the Mistress of Pain #CameronMustGo

It's all gone 50 Shades of #PMQs: 'He obviously quite likes taking it as well" says David Cameron after accusing Ed Balls of "Masosadism."
Urban Dictionary does have masosadist
A person who derives pain out of being humiliated or hurt, but also derives pain from inflicting pain on another being. a person who has more tendencies towards masochism, but with underlying tones of sadism.
A masosadist is a person who has more tendencies towards masochism, but with underlying tones of sadism.
"I like being punished more, but I will sometimes punish someone else."

"I meant to say masochism" David Cameron insists. #weirdestpmqsever #masosadism
Unfortunate payoff......
Poor old Ed - he nicks a question off Nigel and it gets washed away in smut.
Its politics Jim, but not as we know it.

"He obviously quite likes taking it as well" snigger snigger.
Yeah, language matters.
Well that might be good news for the next government.
Shouldn't we have forced the vile Hun to pay it.

Say what you like, I'm still holding out for some actual new policies here #AS2014
Why would you think he was sincere about gay marriage rather than doing what he thought was politically expedient?
He is suggesting treating Eastern European labourers as 2nd class citizens now, but I don't think he is really a social cleanser. He is just a follower of focus groups and opinion polls
"This is big news. Big multinational businesses will "pay their fair share." To stop legal tax dodging, a new 25% tax on profits generated by multinationals - but from their activity in the UK - will be introduced if they would otherwise move the money out of the country to avoid UK tax."
Lawyers / accountants toasting lots of extra work in the new year. Going to be interesting to see how this works / stands up to inspection and legal challenges.
New announcement: the amount of profit in established banks that can be offset by losses carried forward will be limited to 50%, and relief on bad debts delayed. That means banks should contribute almost £4 billion more in tax over the next five years.
"what he thought was politically expedient?"
Why can't you accept the blindingly obvious explanation, that he genuinely thought it was the right thing to do?
Okaaay
Excellent
I thought that was the SNP's job?
Arhhhh "Mansion Tax" by back door....£1 million properties are going to get hit for more money. Attempting to shot Labour / Lib Dem fox, and giving people a tax cut at the bottom.
The education policy has not changed.
But Tory right wingers are all the same - I despair. Fox could still be in govt if he had limited himself to his job and not tried to promote himself as well as some foreign policy guru - and do it so painfully badly. Then there is Davis who clearly thought it a bettter idea to promote his own interest rather than the party and the country. They could be in govt making their points and making a difference.
But lets be honest - I have little time for all this anti Cameron rhetoric - its way overdone and of course from the kipper perspective self serving. There is not a person in the country, the world, who makes a perfect political leader. If you want to complain you can - any fool can make an excuse to find fault where there are some issues which have no solution. In the main Cameron is doing a good job leading a coalition and trying to wipe up the mess made by Labour and cover for the absurities of his own right wing. You only need to look at the figures for job losses in the public sector to see where the govt are doing the right thing against left wing opposition.
Almost direct copy of John Swinney's stamp duty reforms in Scotland...
Scots will be rushing to move before the SNPs scheme comes in in the spring - ho ho.

What's your view on the FBU's response to the Autumn Statement?
Apparently they published it 90minutes before the *start* of Osborne's speech

So @KlassMyleene what do you think about 12% stamp duty on £2m garages? #AS2014
LOL

But that doesn't guarantee anything of course as anyone can edit it.
Do I pay stamp duty on my winnings ??
I presume the cut-off date relates to exchange of contract - if not, people could find themselves contractually bound to find an additional sum. As it is it will be disruptive in the short term.
The barracking of Balls is too OTT.
