This Brexit thing was our chance to reverse the last 50 years of creeping socialist social policy.

Boris has had his chance and ,exactly like all the other tory leaders, has blown it and condemned us to a very poor future.

There will never again be a Farage. We had our chance..and the tories have just blown it for us.

Readmission to the EU as soon as the Labour/Lib dem government comes in in 2022.

The foreign aid budget is £14? billion per year.
We are going to spend 5 times that on the white elephant HS2"

I'd cancel BOTH.
And our EU contribution. c £14.5bn net pa post rebate,set to rise as well.

In fact I'd take a hatchet to welfare as well.
No Child benefit/child tax credits for Foreigners, nor for British after FIRST Child.
And I'd be deporting all the non British parasites.
British parasites would be forced to work for their welfare payments unless bona fide disabled. And plenty of those claiming disability could work in a call centre from those I have met.

they'll be here regardless. you can thank Boris for that.

[pooroldboy55] 24/10/2019 14:12

Just think all those nice 1.5 million who went to GERMANY once they get an EU passport can come here in a few years if we haven't left by then .

[grahamite2] 24/10/2019 14:05

Cancelling HS2 is one of the easiest decisions anyone ever had to take! Agreed on that.

Have you noticed, when the subject comes up on QT, the audience is against it, the non-politicians on the panel are against it, but all the politicians are for it regardless of Party? There's just got to be something crooked going on there.

We all know Peterborough was an electoral stitch up compounded by the totally bent Electoral Commission...but you may be right,Graham...but having the BP as the enemy aint too clever when all these remainer alternatives exist out there for the voting public.

Keep up CtR

[grahamite2] 24/10/2019 14:02

mr.elbee, I am paid up with The Brexit Party. You and I are very much on the same side.

But Peterborough came as a profound shock. If TBP can't win there, with so many factors going for it, I believe anyone expecting great things from them come the next election is doomed to be disappointed. Half a dozen seats would be a good result.

That means the practical course is to go for the least worst option. That's why I paid to vote for Boris rather than one of the clowns opposing him.

willoicc, nobody's stopping you giving your own money to overseas persons in need. There are many charities that specialize in this. But the government has no moral right to give taxpayer money away overseas while there are still terrible problems at home.

If Boris committed to cutting foreign aid by half he'd get all the Brexit Party vote back and sweep the country"


Only in half?

This country is up to its eyeballs in debts, which rise every year..

We cannot afford any Foreign Aid at all, nor to be the second largest net contributor to the EU.



"Wtf are we giving aid to a country with its own space programme?"


Precisely,because we can't afford our own Space programme for starters.

[mr.elbee] 24/10/2019 13:50

you have answered your question already Graham.

Boris doesnt want to lose the socialist/liberal remainer vote and will not be relied on to do the bleedin' sensible.

He was repeatedly offered a friendly deal with the Brexit party, and in return his Government ignored Farage ,just as they did before the referendum.[Look where that got the great and good.]

Well they have screwed it up right proper now. Farage has had enough and is targeting....with BP candidates...any MP that votes for this treaty.

Oh,in case you didnt get that..NOT ONE news channel is carrying this story.

So that is every tory seat up North...and there are quite a few...finished...and it is all of their own colossal arrogance. People told me years ago to never trust a tory...and I know that is true of the opposition in all its wonderful flavours...but now it appears the whole lot are a complete waste of space.

"No one said we don't need immigrants.
All countries are benefits from immigration but what we witnessed till now and all over Europe it's bad management of immigration.
Control means proper paperwork, numbers and time limit."

K38,
This is a standard Remain LIE.

Leavers want no Immigration.

It is blatantly false(and they know it) but the gullible still believe their lies.

Just to confirm the above, announced 9 Sep

"... the Group [Lloyds] now estimates that it will need to make an incremental charge for PPI claims, in addition to the provisions to 30 June 2019, in the range of £1.2 billion to £1.8 billion in its Q3 Interim Management Statement.

The estimated range amounts are preliminary and unaudited. The Group continues to process PIRs and the final PPI provision could be above or below the range provided."

Alan JoycePosted October 24, 2019 at 8:59 am | PermalinkDear Mr. Redwood,Whenever economic policy and / or spending is debated in the House, we here cries from the Opposition benches of 'Tory Austerity' or 'Tory Cuts'. On many, many occasions, this has simply gone unchallenged by Conservative MP's.I doubt very much that the public knows and understands that the 'Tory Cuts' were in fact EU-mandated cuts. Still less that the UK has to comply with debt and deficit reduction rules even though we are not in the Euro.

[k38] 24/10/2019 13:50

Do we all agree that..Brussels means corruption. Brussels is not Europe.Europe is not Brussels.Brussels sure represent Germany butBrussels does not, can not, represent Europe for sure under this conditions.

[willoicc] 24/10/2019 13:49

We should NOT reduce foreign aid to people in countries where there are terrible living conditions.

We SHOULD be far more careful where the money goes to, ie it should go to help the people, not to the politicians to go and buy fancy Mercs etc.

It would be even better if the money went to infrastructure projects to harness the huge volumes of rain that fall in rainy seasons to help to irrigate the land during droughts.

Money should go on projects to provide electricity so that people could spend their time producing food to eat and things to sell, rather than spending their days walking miles carrying water on their heads.

It really appals me when people want to stop trying to help the world's poorest people.

If we help to make life better for them where they live now, it might reduce their desire to come here.

CtR...Let the cat out of the bag and do tell us how?

[ladeside] 24/10/2019 13:44

Mike, totally agree on Ronda, it's a cracking little town with a special atmosphere, the likes of Joyce and Hemingway apparently got lots of inspiration there and you can easily see why.

I don't know if you took the train up or down but that in itself is a fantastic experience with the feeling your travelling through different continents and of course it's great seeing all the old style stations which were built by British Engineers.

The last time I was there they had opened a McDonalds and a KFC which I felt spoiled it a bit but that's the modern world for you...........

The natural reaction - I will not vote again.
My thoughts also - but my wife suggests that this is just what the neerdowells want.
They may be empowered by a tiny vote.
You have the right to vote - dont waste that right"

Plenty of ways to skin a cat.
Voting has shown to be pointless.

Suspect more and more people will come to the same conclusion.
