Just more examples of biased opinion which are in no way based upon facts. A bit like the Ambassador's comments in the first place.

No, because in the end, we will get a deal - either a modified withdrawal agreement or an Article 24 agreement. The 'no deal' scenario is leverage - something a lot of people don't seem to be able to grasp.

What about the rest of his list that he read out yesterday afternoon? Anything there you disagree with?

It's hard to disagree with more police, more social care, lower taxes, more spending on education and all fibre internet for every home. That's not policy, they're just aspirations. Anyone can promise more stuff for less money.

How is he going to do it?

Conservatives do not leave the economy in bad shape. That's what Labour does, it is their speciality.

If you are so worried about how Boris will find the money, which he will, why are you and other socialist-minded people not concerned about Labour's plans for our economy? If Corbyn had made the speech Boris did last night, you would have hailed him as our saviour!

Not something you need to worry about, Damien. Boris is not going to spell everything out in detail so people can take pot shots at him and trip him up.

Cutting taxes leads to complex results, but one thing is for sure - it encourages business and money will come into the country. Investment will thrive.

It's a far better way than Corbyn's plan to simply print money, which will simply raise interest rates exponentially and bring us all to our knees. Just like Venezuala.

If it's like the recent public sector pay rises, it won't need to be paid for at all. With the pay rises, the money is coming from existing budgets, meaning cuts will need to be made elsewhere in each departments budget to cover the costs.

We've been through this before. I don't support Corbyn and have been critical of him many times on here. I didn't vote for Labour under him or Ed Miliband. It is dishonest of you to keep trying that deflection.

No, Den, I am simply highlighting the hypocracy of those who try to pull apart Conservative spending plans arguing they can't afford it while applauding any amount of spending Labourproposes irrespective of whether the money is there.

Conservatives do not blow budgets but Socialists do. I thought we all knew that.

My comment was relevant. However, if you are not a socialist, my apologies.

I'm more interested in what's going to happen with the Iran situation.

Holding hands to block a road is not terrorism.
