Are they trying to throw the election so that they don't have Brexit on their hands?

Nah, they're not that competent tbh. She's trying to make it purely a clash of personalities due to Corbyn's low approval ratings. It's taking the piss and it deserves to backfire but  I don't think it will

May has come out against Thatcherism... which suggests she is actually aware of the underlying issues. Which would be great news, had someone not in the Tory party stumbled onto this. FFS.

Why are the Tories suggesting a free breakfast rather than a free lunch at school?

Because they're cunts.

smart move from may to try to occupy the centre ground, calling for an end to ‘selfish individualism', saying the tories abhor social division, inequality and arguing they don't believe in "untrammelled free markets". this combined with the crackdown on immigration will appeal to a lot of labour voters that corbyn refuses to even try to speak to. they can often be bigoted, patriotic morons but labour can't power without their votes.

That's what Corbyn is saying but weaker.

If the brexit vote taught us anything, it's that politicians need to listen to voters' fears on immigration, regardless of whether they're idiotic. It's a vote winner

True, although that's just the scapegoat.

 

The lib dems missed the memo on immigration it seems.

If there was a realistic chance of the Lib Dems being anything more than a fringe party, they'd (have to) adopt a different tack on immigration, but as it stands, going hard on it would alienate what voter base they still have, so there we are.

Cutting VAT in neither manifesto. It's basically a tax on the poor.

 

In the right circumstances is can boost spending and energize the economy especially for small business.

 

I'd like it back at 17.5.

Income tax  on a £45k salary is less than 15% but a single mother on benefits pays 20% on her tampons.

 

Progressive taxation.

I've only read snippets so far but the headlines are suggesting the Tories are :

 

-taking free school dinners off kids

-improving mental health services with 0% raise in funding

-if your house is worth more than £100k you pay 100% of your nursing care costs! (£1000+ pm)

-cutting the winter fuel allowance

-bringing back fox hunting

-reducing pensions and raising the state pension age, again

-bringing back grammar schools

-fiddling foreign aid

-cancel the Leveson enquiry

 

Yet they are walking the election :throw:

It's why we left the EU iirc.
