Most ridiculous extrapolation I've ever seen on newsnight. Andy Burnham might be antisemitic because his first interview was with Gary Lineker.

Just a thought, if you are saying that VAT off electricity and cheaper bus fares don't have a massive effect then maybe those policies aren't aimed at you. Some people will see those as huge.

The obsession with Governments having to name where things are funded from is getting silly. The bus fare cap uses £500 million which is 0.04% of annual spend. If that were a person on average income (£39k) then its like asking them to find 28 pence a week and say where they are saving it from!

Day 3 of no internet and if it's still off when the kids get home in an hour there's likely to be a mutiny. To be honest, I'm pissed off with it now too.
