anyone who has supported the Russian line they have responded to western aggression has been lambasted for that view. does Abbott deserve some sort of pass because of her background? she gets more coverage because she is more willing to come out on radio, TV, newspaper and internet to say so.

though you link to story reporting criticism of her gaff. start a thread and we can all pile in on her incompetance too. plenty do any way.

no, thats just an excuse for several occasions she's lost it on numerical matters - or does hypoglycaemia only affect numeracy? she has her own view on issues and very willing to do media, prone to giving an honest, off message response rather than something prepared by the commuications team.

you're just transfering pupils from one state funded school to another, from one budget to another. im not in favour of grammar schools, the policy is to lift a ban on new one and dont see there's any announced of funding for them. in practice i would expect most "selective schools" will be...

think you're overlooking grammar schools are state schools.

not going to dispute your numbers, but you recognise that the education budget is larger than ever. you've higlighted a number of factors why comparing national budget to spend per pupil isnt such a great idea. doesnt really account for the supposed drop in spending per pupil though, so what...

what's false? their manifesto wants to borrow £250bn on nothing specifc other than "infrastructure" with no plan on how or when that might be paid back. their policies may appear costed, but the costings don't stand scrutiny (assume ambitious and immediate tax rises) and then they go and bring...

a pathetic defense. she was poorly briefed and couldn't recover the error with a simple line "its a changing picture". if it was 100 when she checked why does she think its 50? she doesnt get "hate mob", she gets ridiculed when she goes out to bat and has a howler, just like every other...

yeah, about that, its not true - worth not even a 1/100th of that - and you're just peddling tired old memes of conspiracy theory world.

he had the bearest minimum of nominations, many of whom stated it was only to "maintain a debate" and expressed regret for doing so.

let stop dressing up Corbynism as some sort of new "popularist" movement, he's an old school hard left Socialist who is very popular with a very small proportion of the population. all the blame placed on the media ignores that most of his own MPs oppose him. that's not down to media but...

for a pendant you dont follow what you wrote yourself: you say we can create rules to prevent falsly inflating cost to hide profit. i say we do have those rules, the issue if that they move where those profits are recorded. a company cant just say "items x cost 8 per unit" when they cost 5...

we do, you're being drawn into popularist mis-conception of whats going on. they are applying accountancy rules, they move the profit elsewhere. you focus in on Starbucks who milked the system and i dont care for their practices, however in practice it little different to say Samsung selling...

something could be done but you've just gone and ruled out the current best, nearest hope. and you're even spotted why it wont work, its not in most country's self interest. the point is that these loopholes are generally using the deliberatly created rules to deal with taxing companies across...

how do you tax companies where their production or value adding work is carried out abroad? or if they dont actually book a profit anywhere? we can tax their revenues (essentially another VAT, paid directly by the consumer) or as being mooted by some on the left have global taxation whereby...

the only fair way to change inheritance tax is to remove it completely and treat and inheritance as income to the recipients. problem of course is that anyone with any tangible assets, property, land, shares etc would have to sell it all and distribute the cash to the beneficiaries. farms...
