Dan Hodges @DPJHodges 7m7 minutes ago Greenwich, London I think one day all the migrants in this country should go on strike. Let's see how good our health and public services are then.
Not mentioned by Harry in his by election round up are that the 2 Aylesbury by elections are in wards part of larger CC divisions which were both won by UKIP in 2013 . The UKIP candidate in Sourhcourt is in fact the UKIP County councillor for the larger Aylesbury South West division
I think it's safe to say that there's now little chance of any Tory bounce from the Chancellor's autumn statement. On a slightly more cheery note for the Blue team, it would appear, at least so far as YouGov is concerned, that UKIP has lost just a little support over the recent past.
I'm not sure that the current polls are too bad when the Chancellor said in his speech it would be fiscally neutral in factr slight tightening.
Actually as well Osborne said ... ''The OBR report notes that the Office for National Statistics has reassessed the depth of the great recession. The fall in GDP from peak to trough between 2008 and 2009 was not 6.3 per cent, as previously thought – but instead was an even more staggering 7.2 per cent.'' ... there were claims as I recall that the recession was not quite as deep as reported.
But its when you see figures like that, that you realise what a mess we are in and that there are no easy solutions, indeed no perfect solution. One way or another we are all poorer. Well unless you move from the dole to work. The OBR are forecasting 400,000 new jobs this year (and in most of the country at a faster rate than London). Frankly I find the job creation incredible.
Note also that Osborne said, ''we will bring forward next year an updated Charter for Budget Responsibility and ask Parliament to support it. I can say today that government must ensure that debt continues to fall as a percentage of GDP, including using surpluses in good years for this purpose. '' Disobeying this rule is what allows Miliband to forsake running a surplus to spend it. Just like Brown.

Dan Hodges @DPJHodges 3m3 minutes ago Greenwich, London I'm sick of Labour's mealy-mouthed criticism of Farage on this. He's the leader of a racist party with racist policies. Just say so.
Not watching QT right now, but one of my main problems with Brand is that he clearly wants to be taken really seriously, but appears to have such a thin skin and then retreats into infantile attacks even more than an actual politician if people don't react in the way he wants. Didn't he once say those who criticised his overly flowery language were doing so because they think only rich elites should be able to be articulate (if he did not say that, I apologise to him), rather than the other likely explanation, which is if you overdo the flowery talk for no reason you sound like a prat? (I have reluctantly learned that lesson myself, to be fair)
Not going to lie, Farage hit the nail on the head before. One of the main reasons about how petty and vitriolic politics has become is, ironically, because of the fact their policies are so similar -- because they agree on everything (such as the deficit), they literally have nothing else to say apart from kneejerk tribalism.
Well it would be nice and reassuring if they did agree on the deficit. But they don't; Osborne wants to run a surplus and use it to pay down debt. Miliband wants to spend it.
You'd think that might be the end of it, but wait. Do I hear Mike Smithson's footfall below? Does he have news of Mr Wheeler's intervention? Does a seat have to be found for Hamilton, come what may?
The plot thickens....or does it?
"After all that, Ukip has chosen Kerry Smith to stand for South Basildon and East Thurrock, subject to Ukip HQ’s approval.
20/1 lovely...
He’ll have a hard time being as colourful a contender as Bolter and Hamilton – but he does have a very good chance of becoming an MP on 7 May 2015 if Ukip can steer clear of further roadblocks"
UKIP seems more prone to road bollocks. Or is that just Farage ?

Technically isn't pretty much everything frontbench politician's say carefully spun in an attempt to engineer a poll bounce? I suppose the AS and other events are slightly more substantial attempts though, being shapers of actual policy designed to engineer a bounce.

The path to those ends is pretty similar for several years at least though. By necessity perhaps, but I do think there is something in the argument the tribalism is at its worse when it comes to the minor disagreements, in an attempt to make trivialities seem like epic events that will stir up the base.

Hold on.
If doctors pay for their own training, then it's fine if they move abroad; they've paid for their own training.
If the State has paid for their training, then they are basically "stealing" from that country.
