How on earth has HMQ put up with all these dreadful politicians over the 60+ years?
In the last few years she's has the self absorbed Blair's, neurotic Brown, dodgy Dave, Calamity Clegg and that guy Ed somebody... Oh and now she's got totally bonkers Jezza to deal with as well.
How does the woman do it?
Who knows, her advice may have been heeded more often than not.

She gets plenty of practice given who her husband and relatives are...
It's hilarious to think that a couple of weeks ago the GOP establishment thought that an intervention by Romney and some jokes from Rubio would stop all of this.

Trump: "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour? Hell, Noooooo!"
So cliff notes is basally not 51% (not unless you formulate it in a particular way with caveats), but African American's have a higher unemployment rate.
If we vote to leave the EU I wonder what sort of trade deal we would get from a President Trump.
That's easy: we would get something that looked like the Trans-Pacific Partnership. This would mean we would be treaty bound to keep our intellectual property laws in lock-step with the US, and that the UK government's decisions would be subject to appeal under ISDS provisions in US based tribunals.
The US doesn't play fair when it comes to trade agreements.
By the way, the economic data - from everywhere on planet Earth except China - has been staggeringly good in the last week. Industrial and manufacturing orders last week blew away expectations in Europe. And today Japan machinery orders - an excellent proxy for capital expenditure - which were expected to fall 3% year-over-year, rose by 8%.
Maybe those negative interest rates in Japan are working.

capital spending includes govt spending?
living here it is truly amazing to see the amount of infrastructure/pork barrel spending (depending on yr point of view). No place too inaccessible to whack a viaduct over, for the purpose of transporting daikon or whatever. Must be great if you are a civil engineer...

Where is "here"?
shizuoka prefecture, japan
(sorry for being unclear)
No need to apologize, I presumed you meant Japan, just wanted to clarify, as PB seems to have posters located all over the globe and is hard to keep track.
If people are getting enough tax credits that they can afford to save £50 a month then they are getting too much in the way of tax credits. As it surely only exists as a scheme to provide people with sufficient income on which to live.
Giving people who are already receiving too much public money even more public money seems utterly, utterly stupid

You do have to wonder don't you....And it is also open to people on Universal Credit...now those people really aren't going to (or shouldn't have) loads of free income.
Also, it seems unfair on people who are on lowish wages, but don't claim / aren't eligible for tax credits i.e. young single childless individuals on just above minimum wage. Surely they are people who could / should be encouraged to put away a few pennies, rather than spend whatever free cash they have every month.

Encouraging saving is a great idea - but it shouldn't be linked to the benefits system. This is a bad, bad, bad idea

This could be a really good scheme to give 16-24 years olds a nudge to saving more*, especially those still living at home that didn't go to uni and also those straight out of uni on ok salaries. But these are exactly the people who will be excluded.
* Anybody who has had any experience employing this group will know that many have the attitude that a deposit for a house seems unattainable, so YOLO with what spare cash they do have. Rather than understanding the power of compound interest.
I understand from a Boundary Commission source that Broxtowe is slated to be one of the constituencies to disappear. Exactly how isn't clear, but if they treat the City border as sacrosanct (as they have in the past, for no good reason in my opinion) then it will merge into part of Ashfield, replacing a Lab and Con marginal by a Lab marginal on 2015 figures. The MPs are Anna Soubry and Gloria de Piero respectively - should be a needle match.
I didn't know the boundary commission had even started their work yet.
Ashfield is not a marginal. The Labour Maj is nearly 9000, and their main challengers - the Lib Dems - just imploded further.
The former Lib Dem candidate now leads "Ashfield Independents", and has been charged with sexual offences. He defends his innocence strongly.
Though to be fair, the Corbyn effect might help UKIP, but probably not the Tories.

I reckon that privately she despairs of the gutless politicians that have led us down this path.

Employees on in-work benefits, such as tax credits, who put aside £50 a month would receive a bonus of 50% after two years - worth up to £600.
