At such an important time for the country as this, all partisan party considerations should be shelved and agreements found in the national interest. Article 50 has been triggered and the clock is ticking. This matter is paramount and there is no going back, future generations will all suffer and never forgive us if we don't get this right.

I don't put any store by what either Corbyn the wolf in sheeps clothing and puppet of 'Momentum' (the new name for the Militant Tendency) or smarmy Osborne with his supercilious grin have to say .

I guess we'll see soon enough
I think another GE next year is very likely - the DUP and Cons are at odds on so many issues, plus partnering with the DUP makes Irish Peace talks almost impossible.

Another General Election could well be another no win. even more chaos.
Social Justice is a fine thing Azz.
I have repeatedly said I do not mind paying more Tax or losing my Winter Fuel Allowance, I am not going to starve.
My issue is this, I can add up and Corbyn's Plans simply do not.
If I do pay more tax and lose my Winter Fuel Allowance, I want it to go to those who genuinely cannot work.
I want more money to go to Carers, those who choose to look after their family rather than dumping them on the NHS.
I want more money to go to Mental Health Services.
It is a complete disgrace that so many of our Ex Service Personnel are homeless or suffering miserably.
I have no objection at all to paying the Tuition Fees of Doctors, Nurses, Engineers, any one where we have a skills shortage and they work for 5 years here in the UK.
I have every objection to paying the Tuition Fees for useless Degrees.
In particular I have a serious objection to paying Benefits to a fit active 22 year old who has a degree in a subject they will never get a job in locally but who refuses to move to get a job.
The problem is Corbyn would pay for everyone, with money we do not have, instead of targeting those in need.
The world does not owe you a living.
