You tell yourself what ever helps you sleep at night pal :thumbsup:

In 2017, the median hourly wage for women working full time was about 9.1% less than the median hourly wage for men (excluding overtime). That’s £1.32 less per hour. I will say that the issue is a multi-pronged problem (as pointed out in the article posted earlier) but to claim it simply doesn’t...

I never claimed it wasn’t complicated and there were outside factors such as choices, both personal and professional, but the fact remains that men are typically paid more than women who are at a similar stage in their working lives...

And I’m not arguing with an arrogant, patronising tool.

Nice deflection on ALL the points I’ve made. I suppose when your argument is falling apart it’s easiest to ignore everything and just hurl verbal diarrhoea at your opponent in an attempt to try and make yourself feel superior. Your argument obviously lacks evidence as, if it was the case...

If the ‘schools’ (emphasis on the plural) are irrelevant why bring them up in the first place? ??? I didn’t say female employment (reading isn’t your strong point is it?) I said gender pay gap, something which has stalled under the Conservatives. They’re still making some progress (I’m not...

And those schools are? You know there’s more the economics than GDP right? There are lots of different ways to measure the health of the economy, but they should not be viewed in isolation. That being said, Labour has a better record in a variety of categories. Such as, but not limited to, GDP...

Does inventing hypothetical Labour dystopias help you justify the OPs comments? It’s ok that the country is going to shot because it might be worse under Labour?

And what school of economics did you graduate from? ??? You can sneer all you like, doesn’t make you any more accurate with your incredibly blinkered ‘Labour = bad economic policy’ view.

It’s a myth perpetuated by people who are politically and economically illiterate. And if Labour’s economic policy is such a ‘wank fest’ why did 129 leading economists sign an open letter prior to the snap election? The letter articulated full support for the investment-focused economic policies...

Ah yes the myth that Labour policies are bad for the economy even though historical evidence suggest the exact opposite...

Pesky lefties opposing the privitastion of the NHS, the rise in food banks, cuts to cooperation tax meaning cooperations pay less tax than their employees, spectacularly missed economic targets and the longest fall in value of wages since records began began! *shakes fist*

Reads more like an attempt to deflect away from the issue at hand. I agree that ANY MP should scrutinised as such but a rebuttal of ‘yeah but Labour MPs do it too’ is hardly constructive.

What has that got to do with this particular Tory MP? ???
