Authoritarians need the stupid. Bonhoeffer was right - the stupid are more dangerous because they give power to the malicious.

No. The commitment is to join the euro when the economic and political conditions are right. There is no timescale.

The Brexiters knew all of this but they didn’t care. They absolutely did ignore the consequences for their country-wrecking ideology and refused an impact assessment. Honda told parliament the SM was vital. May’s red lines ruled that out. Honda left.

Time to work with Burnham on this not score cheap political points when you know damn fine joining any of it will take some time. It’s a major change from Labour.support it! Instead why not say what you’d like at the November summit on the road back? Time to be solution driven.

“When we put this policy to respondents, a clear majority supported Burnham’s “hypothecated” reform to the Triple lock at a 49% net national support (64% support vs 15% oppose), including those respondents who will be most directly affected by the policies - the 55-64 and 65+ age groups. “

Think you’re right. When the changes to the triple lock, which Burnham is proposing, were explained properly the vast majority, including those affected, were supportive of the changes. This is from Survation. Tables follow.

💯 agree Sarah. Far too complex for a referendum👇Even MPs who had a training session on the Customs Union said it was v helpful but would have been better BEFORE Brexit. We have a representative democracy. Let’s see #Rejoin in Lab, LD, Plaid, Alliance, SDLP, SF & SNP manifestos. The terms are clear.

LibDems introduced welcome increase in the Personal Tax Allowance then Tories froze it & Reeves continued freeze. Should be ~£15k to allow for inflation. No pensioners on state pension alone will pay tax on £13k under Labour. Test is the £bns Tories squandered & Brexit @financialtimes.com

But because in eg 1970 only 8.6% got three A levels & only 8.4% obtained a degree there is a correlation with older voters. ~7x more graduates in 2011 than eg 1970. researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN...

Water Boards had vast assets including farms & farm land. It belonged to us but turns out the law’s against us too. Thatcher was an utterly loathsome person - sold off public assets to her chums & the gullible lapped it up, just as they now lap up ReFUK. We are likely doomed by the stupid.
