Think you've just swung the opinions polls a bit more Ken ! I predict a U-turn over social care in the next week, just like there was over national insurance. Theresa isn't that strong and stable after all. At least the manifesto will pulp well....
labour has just upped it's game

Labour says it would bring forward its pledge to scrap tuition fees to include students starting university in England this autumn if it wins the election.
The party also says students part-way through their courses would not have to pay for the remaining years.

That's a crafty tactic they do all the time. think of the worst and then water it down considerably or do a complete U-turn on it.


Works everytime.

See. Even George knows what they're doing.

Re: June 8th General Election

As opposed to weak and unstable on the opposition benches. Just take a look at Corbyn - I'd say that still stands albeit in relative terms.

The cap is a good idea and it's either a change of policy in response to widespread anger or it was a cock up in the first place. Either way if it yields a better, more equitable, solution to a very difficult problem it's welcome IMHO.

Re: June 8th General Election

More thought should have be given to it in the first place as one hears that some cabinet ministers were not consulted at all before it was announced publicly.

Wow, it didn't even take another week, the lady is u-turning already !

Theresa May has said proposed changes to social care funding in England will now include an "absolute limit" on the money people will have to pay.

This represents a complete U-turn. The cap was ditched last week with the Tories briefing they wanted to set a "floor" not a cap - hence guaranteeing everyone in England will be able to keep £100,000.
You can call me Mystic Meg You can call Theresa weak and unstable...

It most definitely still stands. Who wants idiotic Terrorist sympathisers, communists and unpatriotic imbeciles running the show?

This is guaranteed under the IRAbour Party.

Re: June 8th General Election

Still relying on polls when in previous elections and even recent ones - the actual result has blown these polls apart.
