It's called triangulation, Bill Clinton and Blair's tactic of occupying your opponent's traditional strong ground. Remember Blair's "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" conference line? She's doing exactly the same here. A smart move with Labour infighting and in pieces.

Is that what they call it now, it used to be called telling lies.

Particularly Johnson. She has given him Foreign Secretary but taken away Europe and trade, Number 10 deals with international emergencies. It doesn't leave him a lot that he can damage apart from himself.

@scaramanga Just had a quick read up on Tyrie, very impressive. 'He has been described as the most powerful backbencher in the House of Commons'. I also like that he has rubbed up Call Me Dave the wrong way on multiple occasions!

edit: seems to have done some good things for Chichester as well.

Does not tip taxi drivers


also did not back the bypass which along with Arundel and Worthing is much needed.
 
we need to think big and stop fighting amongst ourselves for relatively narrow wealth.

Mine the mid Atlantic ridge and the Antarctic.
Build Boris island.
Rebuild and modernise swathes of our housing stock.
write off significant private debts
Monetise public sponsored medical and Scientific research.
Frack the Weald.

Let's get our brick together.

The government pushed up inflation/prices by giving massive handouts to those in and out of work. Once costs got high enough, Comrade George pushed all the cost onto businesses.

Our country is already uncompetitive due to over regulation, adding labour cost is ridiculous.

Except it is government's business when they are subsidizing businesses staff costs through welfare payments. The alternative to no minimum wage or welfare is a return to Victorian conditions for many of the low paid. Btw Osborne cut corporation tax to help businesses pay for the living wage.

Then they should have stopped doing so

The alternative is to not push up inflation by subsidising wages - if wages are lower, prices are lower.

The socialist ratchet just makes everything more costly and our exports less competitive.

That only helps for businesses that don't require large amounts of labour. Those that require next to none benefit massively.

You can't balance a direct cost against a cost that comes off the bottom line - that just doesn't work at all. The end result is that you just end up discouraging employment. Companies that can, will just reduce labour and those that can't won't survive - the end result is a disincentive to employment, which I think we can all agree is bad.
 
Finding employment isn't hard. Anyone can find all the work they can handle at any time...but getting paid a decent wage well that's another matter.

It's just a shame, that when Tone's GHod came to him and said it would be okay, he didn't add that it were on condition
that Tone and his son Euan go to Iraq and do some liberating too.
