If Cameron's not going to cut tax credits or child benefit then why doesn't he legislate to confirm he won't? The reason is, because the Tories WILL cut tax credits and child benefit...the party of non doms and fox hunters are going to fleece the working poor.0

It's not just Jews who are horrified by his "Islamophobia" pledge. Anyone who believes in free speech rather than its suppression; anyone who does not want to dance to the Islamist agenda; anyone who does not want to give (inadvertent) succour to terrorists and their sympathizers and appeasers; anyone who does not want to give rocket boosters to those who think their religion should excuse them from any scrutiny or criticism at all - all such people and others are - or should be - horrified by such craven politicking.SeanT said:

I don't understand what people keep going on about with the Fixed Term Parliaments Act changing anything. As far as I see it, if a vote of no confidence is passed, the government falls the same as it always did.

SeanT said "Basically Sturgeon can block almost any legislation proposed by Labour", You have not been paying attention during debates if they are progressive , helping low paid, disabled, kids, NHS, zero hours contracts, food banks etc., - she will not oppose just as PC or Green would not. She like many others would not want another election and the Scots would punish her for that. Like nearly all European societies we have to evolve our politics in a multi-party context.0

The demon of nationalism. In our own country. Sad.

Labour pal who's with Miliband in Glasgow was chased by SNPers. One put a finger in his face and shouted 'You English fucking cunt'
