They talk about Tories living in the past. Corbyn's world. WOMEN KNOW YOUR PLACE. Dixon of Dock Green is an accurate representation of crime fighting in London.
Watson has a perpetual frown on his face, it hasn't changed in his master speaks.
Look at Osborne's face. It is a ghastly mask. What is wrong with him?
Has he just realised that he's backed himself into a corner with the upcoming Autumn Statement and now realises he's about to kill off the UK IT industry?
An interesting dilemma for Labour ... do they oppose Jezza when he talks about security and tried to lose even the most committed supporter, or do they shout him down and look like a divided party? I suspect the latter is less damaging.
The best option may be a shoot to kill policy on Jezza.
It seems to me that there was a certain degree of coordination in yesterday's questions designed to undermine Jezza. I think they're probably waiting for a trigger event to attempt a coup. Could be the Syria vote, or losing Oldham, but after yesterday I do think the end is likely to come quite soon. Certainly hope so.
What route do you see to the end? If Jeremy Corbyn doesn't want to go, how are his opponents going to make him? If he's directly challenged by the Parliamentary Labour Party, he'd explicitly run against them and in all probability win. If they try to exclude him from the ballot paper 1) they may not be able to 2) even if they're able to he may in practice get the necessary number of nominations 3) if they succeed in excluding him, the membership will correctly see this as a contempt for democracy.
I'm not sure the parliamentary party care too much if the Labour membership see such a move as contempt for democracy. They mass nominated Gordon Brown to the exclusion of all others, and imposed him as PM on the rest of us without any vote whatsoever.
The key thing is excluding him from the ballot paper.
Could Corbyn find 35 MPs to nominate him again, or just be stuck at his fan club of 20-25?
Michael Howard was imposed on Tory members without a vote by MPs after IDS
After IDS resigned. Correct me if I am wrong, this is supposed to be a betting site for experts on politics isn't it?
Wrong, IDS did not resign he lost a vote of No confidence amongst Tory MPs. Even though he won 60% of Tory members votes in 2001 the Tory Party did not split apart when Michael Howard replaced him though a few members went to UKIP
So we have Red Ken mocking somebody who has suffered mental health issues and Dianne Abbott doing her Christmas Cards during a meeting centred around the small matter of 130 people slaughtered on the streets of Paris by Islamist terrorists.
Imagine what they will be like back in government.
TBH, I thought the Corbynista patronising attitude to women was more cock-up than anything else - but it's happened so often that it's a definite pattern of behaviour.
This Ken thing is just bizarre - he knows nothing about defence, isn't anything other than Jezza's mate and he gets to boss the ShDSec about on Labour's policy?

In other words ... after IDS resigned.
No IDS was sacked by Tory MPs he did not resign but stood in the no confidence vote

It shows that those whom we assume are Corbyn's acolytes are really the ones pulling his strings. He's not very bright.
Out of interest is Livingstone currently an elected representative and if not who pays his wages?
Given his "companies": Family-Tax-Credits....
Sorry I don't follow. I'm not being sarcastic, I'm curious who/what Livingstone is these days
He'll have a decent pension as a former MP. Presumably he has another pension as a former Mayor of London (though I don't know about that for sure).
Yes that makes sense, I'm always surprised how the same people keep turning up and where they get the money from. Thanks.
Don't forget his earnings from his media activities. And IIRC that sort of income goes through a shell company so that he can avoid paying income tax as far as possible!
Everybody hit the floor and I stood there thinking 'Is this what French people do when they hear fireworks?'
'Next thing my husband grabs me and uses me as a battering ram to get to a fire exit.'
Miraculously the husband and wife were unharmed but Mr Sanders suffered a broken collarbone.
The trio were among a group of seven pals who attended the concert. Two of the group - Frenchwoman Karen Bourdillat and Londoner Mark Backwell - were shot but survived the massacre.
@PickardJE: Cameron to police: "If you have a terrorist threatening to kill people, you can, indeed you must, use lethal force."
On 'shoot to kill' there's a difference between shoot-first-ask-questions-later and shoot-with-lethal-force-to-defend-against-armed-person-who-represents-clear-and-present-danger-to-life.

Putting it through a shell company doesn't exempt income from income tax ( you still pay tax, just called corporation tax until you take over the higher limit at which point you pay the higher rate) It does however mean that the income is not considered for NI.

Kill off the UK IT industry? I am not surprised if that is true Cameron and Co seem quite content if industries die because of their policies such as what passes for an energy policy in their eyes. However, I wasn't aware of anything new going on the will affect the IT industry. Care to elaborate, Mr. Barber?
Yes, of course it is. Perhaps you disagree (I suppose it depends what one means by 'vital'). Fair enough. I don't think you are being duplicitous in disagreeing with me. We just disagree. The difference is that for some bizarre reason Kippers can't seem to have a discussion without throwing around barmy accusations of dishonesty.
It's a very curious psychological phenomenon, which I don't understand.
Since we don't have access to polygraph data on every political statement, I'm not sure what it would take for you to doubt the sincerity of a politician, let alone of David Cameron or a member of his inner circle. You seem quite keen on accusing the alleged victims of high level child abuse of dishonesty, or indeed policemen who accuse Government Ministers of calling them plebs, but favour high level Tory politicians with a sort of masonic wink of assumed innocence.
Like 90% of your output, your posts on this offer an eloquent style, but zero substance or credibility, because you are transparently a Cameron fanboy.
The election of Jeremy Corbyn has finally shown the world the nature of the glue holding Labour together - hate. It used to be Tories were the object of that hatred. Nowadays, a Labour colleague is a far juicier target...
Alex Bell, who quit as head of Alex Salmond's policy unit in July after two years working on his independence strategy, said the first minister was failing to present a radical, daring vision for Scotland and so was facing defeat in next year's referendum.

“The flexible labour market is at stake here. That same flexible labour market has helped us keep unemployment at record lows. The tax system should reflect how people in the UK work, not how HMRC wants them to work. This kind of measure could have a dramatic and devastating impact.”

Thank you for that. I agree it sounds like HMRC is making a silly mistake but on the other hand I well remember the prognostications of doom when IR35 was introduced. So I doubt the effect of the new rules will be as bad as people are making out.
Dear god just catching up with the DP interview with John Woodcock.
Seems a decent enough bloke and you have absolutely got to feel for him and it showed how uncomfortable he was and how honourable in trying to do the best thing in this super-100% bonkers can't f**king believe it Labour Party.

The London Laboursaurs.
Even at PMQ's - Corbyn's question about the police was about London policing. Forget everywhere else.
There is no territory of any interest between inner London and Beirut for Corbyn.

Self employment is an excuse to use expenses to pay less tax. The central question should be how many firms provides you with your income ? If only one or two, you are not self-employed.
A self employed BBC newsreader is a joke ! He/she does the same job as a salaried person.

Jezza can't sack him...

He appointed him knowing the character of the beast. If it starts biting, whose fault is that?
Does Corbyn understand the difference?

In any case, it's before the White Paper was published, so it still confirms Ruth is lying.
You are in error she lies.
I don't think anybody realised just how great it would be.
So ken remains in post...
