If GDP outweighed hope and the human addiction to feeling superior then the UK would still be in the EU. Nationalism doesn't seem to be dictated by economics but by emotion.

I'll say it again for about the 20th time on here, you need more information to be able to form that assumption. Something like 30-40% of people report that they change the party they vote for from...

Can't disagree with any of that really. I am not sure we are in that place where an event can fix it for the Tories though. Under Corbyn, any big event would yield the 'holy shit, what mess would...

I don't really know what you are expecting, people dancing in the streets chanting his name? Centre ground policies aren't going to excite people, economically left policies are political suicide...

Just a reminder, after 13 years of a labour government, Cameron couldn't get a majority. The dark arts of media training and pr were in his corner but people were generally holding their nose and...

Now I am not saying this is WHY you think it but it highlights one of the few successes of Tory comms in recent times. The Tories have systematically been pumping news outlets with 'theres no...

This is just confirmation bias. Taking local election results and projecting them nationally is about as flawed as you can get, you want to trust it because it validates what you have been saying.

No gifts, no jobs, no donations, no loopholes, funding for political parties comes solely from the public purse and is heavily audited. Implementation is difficult because it will favour larger...

It's good to see that the age group with the highest Brexit vote percentage gets away with not paying anything.

It's also not some sort of charitable endeavour whoever we are negotiating with. USA has far less motivation to secure a deal with us than we do with them and therefore, it will lean heavily in...

It's not about 'needing them', it's about what is best for UK people, business and jobs, we have made it more difficult to trade with the countries who are geographically closest to us in favour of...

I remember a clip of Owen Jones and Peter Hitchins and they both unequivocally agreed that nationalisation of natural monopoly's like rail and water was correct. I tend to think if two people who...

Well I don't think they will but people who automatically think things like trains naturally can't be an efficient publicly run service need to explain why all these other things are fundamentally...

Do we need a private police force or armed forces to ensure efficiency?

At least we've defined our roles now. I'm the person who is open to ideas and looking for the best way forward and you are the old codger saying 'in the 70..'

Clear sign that Pelosi has gone short on Hamas in the markets.

Well thankfully as you should be able to tell from my posts within this thread, I don't think in those terms. I want our elected officials to actually be in control of things and therefore...

Well surely if 'working from home has beaten them' we have nothing to worry about?

I am not sure the country should be making decisions based on what worked or didn't work 50+ years ago, we don't...

I didn't think the question is unclear or complicated in the slightest.

Philp is a nerd and is clearly un-coachable from a media perspective. This doesn't make him a bad person but they probably...

Some of the pricing is mental still and not because of being private/public. My base at work has recently moved out of walking distance and because of the way singles/returns are managed a single...

That's the only clip I have seen and I thought he looked like an idiot.

Like it or not, it is their most prominent policy coming into the election and he should be able to respond to a very simple...

I tend to think of transport as a tool to get people from places where they are economically inactive to places where they will produce things/spend money. Therefore I am not convinced the...

Thankfully arriva will soon be out of the mitts of DB and in the hands of a US private equity firm. If there is anything you can count on in life, it's that private equity firms owning vital...

Tbh your second paragraph is a bit off the mark. A significant amount of the operators are directly owned by foreign governments. The irony isn't lost that Pipster thinks it's somehow more...
