The next election is shaping up to be a seriously interesting clusterf*$#. You have the forever purse lipped and slightly clammy Dave, spooked by the scotland referendum, middle east reigniting and defections and Tory votes going to UKIP. Farage has become much more than just an annoyance. He's still reliant on the Lib Dems for power but the past coalition and the terminally ineffective Clegg have been disastrous for that party.


Daves announcement of income tax cuts for the squeezed middle without any indications as to what will pay for that is a cheap last ditch vote winning ploy given the current budget deficit. More will follow in the autumn statement in December.


Meanwhile poor Labour. Whilst all of the above holds true re Milliband, the thought of him as PM is laughable. Never has it had a leadership that lacks such backbone and conviction. I can see only one outcome - a toothless interim coalition, further public disillusion and the left moving further left and the right move further right.


And Boris?......seriously???


Never have I been less tempted to use my hard won right to vote.

It may be cheap, but it ought to do the trick.


Nothing says 'vote for me' quite like someone stuffing a fat roll of fifties into your top pocket.

    • I have a couple of large boxes, if you still need some.
    • Farmers aren't being gifted anything; Their heirs are being gifted millions of pound worth of income generating assets by chance of birth (in most cases). An estate that they have done nothing to earn. Most farms worth under £3m will still end up being passed on tax free. Those that do have to a pay inheritance tax will do so at just 20% on that part which is over the threshold (rather than the standard 40%), and they'll have 10 years to do so (usually it is payable immediately). So it is still preferential terms for those being gifted a multimillion pound estate So to repeat my previous question... Why do you think people coming into a massive, unearned windfall shouldn't pay any tax, but a nurse who works hard for everything they earn, should pay tax?
    • We recently used Jan at Silver Fern for some fencing and driveway works, he also built a side return shed which is now a water tight space for storage.    Would certainly recommend speaking to Jan for gardening or landscaping needs. http://www.silverfernlondon.co.uk [email protected]        
    • And the latest shocker, Inflation this morning was 2.3% up from 1.7& the previous month, a 0.6% increase in a month, that is dreadful. So Robber Reeves plan is already working (NOT). Inflation has begun to increase and will continue to do so, I predict the next set of unemployment figures will show a rise. Neither of these things can be blamed on the last Govt, it's down to the inept budget and impact it is having already.
