I know the election result and TBH as far as i'm concerned it could be the worse result for the economy. If TM had fought a better campaign then we wouldn't be still talking about it. However she didn't and we've just got to make the best of what we had. Just remember, it was the Tories who called the Brexit referendum so if negotiations go tits up then they are to blame, no one else. If only they listened to peoples concerns not only before this election but before the referendum instead of their rich pals.

It is like bashing your head against a brick wall. Why do you think they reduced CT and the top level of personal taxation? They did it to increase the tax take - which - as unpalatable as it is to you - did exactly what it was intended to do i.e. tax take went up.

Why do you think reversing that policy will yield the results you think - oh yes its because all these companies are suddenly going to turn altruistic - and get the bigger picture!! you are truly delusional.

Do you really think there is an appetite for change - students came out to vote for their own benefit not because they also got the bigger picture. No reduction in tuition fees no younger vote. They were just reacting to a bribe if the Tories had offered the same they would have got the vote.

Do you honestly think there is an appetite for re-nationalisation, support for terrorists, great power for unions, increased borrowing to increase the salaries of public servants - possibly from the unions and the public servants?

May was a disaster but it should be short term, she makes Osborne look like a political giant - if Corbyn got in the detrimental impact of his strategy could take decades to put right

Although it does seem bizarre, I agree with you on "tax take" as the exchequer did receive higher revenues on a lower top rate.
However, you then go on to mention "support for terrorists".

Why is it ok for Mrs May to make "an agreement" with the DUP but not ok for Corbyn to talk to some of the people that he has allegedly spoken to in the past.

The DUP seem little different to Sinn Fein and yet, they will now hold the balance of power.
It, quite simply, is not right.

The current set up is clearly not going to last and the sooner that Mrs May has the sense to realise this and either steps down or, better still, calls another GE, the better for all of us.

THe Brexit clock is ticking and Mrs "strong and stable" May is now putting her own personal situation above the needs of the country.

It really is.

For your delight and delectation, rlhere are the facts,rl which I know you're not a fan of; it's a rather more nuanced picture than you desperately try to portray.

With regard to overall tax take, it's fluctuated between 35-38% of GDP since 1997.

And just a note on the myth that Corbyn's plans would plunge us into crippling debt; rlthis datarl would suggest otherwise.

I can't even begin to address the irony of your stupid terrorist comment, other than to remind you that Mrs May is now a hostage to the DUP. The DUP who, according to Wikpedia:

"During the Troubles, the DUP opposed attempts to resolve the conflict that would involve sharing power with Irish nationalists/republicans, and rejected attempts to involve the Republic of Ireland in Northern Ireland affairs. It campaigned against the Sunningdale Agreement of 1974, the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985, and the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. In the 1980s, the party was involved in attempts to create a paramilitary movement, which culminated in Ulster Resistance."

And for good measure, is:

"...socially conservative: it is anti-abortion, opposes same-sex marriage, and formerly campaigned against the legalisation of homosexual acts in Northern Ireland."

The DUP ladies and gentlemen

The only way out is through no deal - if you stay in the single market you can't cut individual deals.

Better just accept its the WTO terms try and agree a borderless Ireland and move on.

Trump and Corbyn...imagine that

In your rabid anti-euro world maybe, but the election result has put a massive hole in H.M.S. Hard Brexit.

It still doesn't make sense, how can you accuse someone of being a supporter of terrorism who is against violence? It's like calling someone a Commie Nazi.

If you want to debate Corbyn's economics or whatever then that's fine, but the whole 'pacifist terrorist' thing is a totally bizarre argument that TBH makes the people trying to use it look absolutely desperate and stupid. And trying to make out that he is somehow a bad guy for not wanting to nuke other countries is bordering on insanity.
