Going back to the original opening post, I've been quite impressed with Ian Duncan Smith and Ken Clarke so far. Cameron is weak, and Osborne appears to be reviling in the cuts and enjoying himself enormously.
I agree with that, William Hague should be PM he is the best statesman we have
Hague was hopeless when he was the Tory leader, his whole election campaign was based around his one policy to save the pound.
As Lord Tebbit said of him recently "naive at best, foolish at worse" Best Statesman we have...LOL.

But it's alright though because the bonus pay-out is still lower than last year's total of £7.3bn. Always remember, Banking is 10% of this country's GDP, the big banks can easily relocate to singapore, Hong Kong etc. Alot of that bonus is taxable so perhaps the way to look at it is £2-3Bn extra tax revenue, everyone's a winner.... |

I am sure that I will never be able to afford to buy in Oxford the city of my birth.
Witney will be nearest I get to moving back, only if it is an old house and not one of those horrible new ones with postage stamp gardens.

I would make those useless bast**** sew bags as well.
I wonder how many people in the public service industry will be sleeping so well after hearing that their gold plated pensions will no longer be protected? At least the taxpayer will not be footing their pension bills in future

"Together, this new generation of Labour will work together to reject the pessimism of this coalition government as we set out our vision of what Britain can achieve.

I am not. I just think that house prices falling are a bad thing because they are linked to recession, and the risk of a double dip is greater

It was always going to wasn't it.
I would be surprised if David Milliband does not express his views from the benches. He was the most talented member of the opposition, and won over his party but not of course the unions. But then again he is only a Blairite puppet.
It doesn't matter who gets in as the EU rule anyway
