Ultimately it's the child that will suffer for the sake of a few votes, disgusting policy
If the object is to improve nutrition and diet over the longer term, a proper Home-Ec curriculum is where the emphasis should be.
I think you are right on the potential appeal for some Labour voters; there was a caller on the radio earlier today, who saw Eton as as being representative of private education generally.

I have not looked through the posts, but has anyone mentioned that charging VAT on school fees is a tax on education? It doesn't matter if the parents can afford it or not, taxing education is fundamentally, and morally, wrong.
To think some people will vote for this toad
Is there really any inconsistency there? When Trump was elected, he was elected on a promise of not meddling in Middle Eastern affairs with the exception of defeating ISIS. He's now changed that stance by targeting Assad, which people didn't expect of him. Farron isn't saying he supports Trump's Presidency or that he thinks we're particularly safe at all with Trump in charge; he's just saying that he supports this particular action of Trump's. Whether or not he's right is another matter, but it doesn't strike me as him flip-flopping.
Damn, I thought the Lib Dems weren't stupid on foreign policy. Hooray for Corbyn (for all the good that will do)
Agreed. The facts changed so he changed his mind. Don't see the problem here.
From the Yanks I heard interviewed in Time Square today it seems like this has been a political win for him on a domestic level. 'Not a Trump supporter but he has done the right thing here' was the gist of it.
Yep. I'm not even particularly sure if I agree with Trump's actions on this one because it's a far more complex situation than he'd ever admit in his simple-minded approach, but at the same time it's fine for someone like Farron to occasionally agree with the actions of someone he thinks is dangerous, and for him to be fine with someone he disagrees with when they've actively moved away from a previous stance.
How is it more fundamentally, and morally, wrong than taxing the very poorest people on gas and electricity?
What Britain needs is a principled, serious opposition, who's said he'd make another coalition with The Tories.
What?
Waking up each morning to discover Jeremy Corbyn is still leader of the Labour party is as depressing as I imagine it would be if we all woke up tomorrow and discovered Paul Daniels wasn't actually dead.
FFS
Wouldn't begrudge Daniels a good ol' death fake, seemed a nice bloke (future disclaimer - no allegations were known at time of posting). I had actually forgotten he was dead, and indeed had ever existed.
If the Lib Dems could be in coalition with the Tories and neuter the worst elements of them then there's worse that could happen. Don't get me wrong...I was no fan of the coalition and still think the Lib Dems were weak as feck for a party who found themselves in a very strong position, but since the coalition we've had the snooper's charter and Brexit. Stuff we probably wouldn't have gotten with the Lib Dems still kicking around. Again, far from perfect, but I'd much rather a party I've got mild reservations about working with one I actively dislike than the party I actively dislike/can't stand operating on their own.
This was the thing, they massively underplayed their hand and naively imagined that they would be rewarded for being cooperative.
Still, this was entertaining at least
I think that tweet is unfair. I am totally against another war, but we simply cannot allow cnuts to use chemical weapons against their population anytime they like.
I'd actually like to see a hung government where each policy is voted between all MPs and the LDs could side with Labour on some issues and The Tories on others. If there is coalition at least don't fall to the 'we got more votes we get more of a say' because undemocratically ignored all Labour and Lib Dem votes. The LDs agreed to pretty much everything The Tories in order to get an AV Referendum. They should have got some increase in taxation of the richest people, they didn't. They should have voted against some of the austerity measures, they didn't. They can pretend 'The Torries would have been worse without us' but in reality The Tories couldn't have got anything through without their power of veto so they had a huge bargaining chip. I'd imagine most of the things they veto'ed were positions The Tories were using as negotiating tactics anyway.

You're arguing a tax on education is wrong, what about other taxes for more essential needs?
What has that got to do with this?
Farron and people with his type of politics have been saying since the Trump election win that Trump is a sexist, racist, bigotry, stupid,unqualified, a danger to world peace and a Russian uncover agent. To the point where they are hoping for some sort of indictment or a C.I.A coup. In Farron case, he agrees with John Bercow that Trump shouldn't be able to address the UK parliament.
Yet where does Farron find common ground with a man that he can't stand to be in the same room with. Aye that's right, dropping bombs on the Middle East, thats all the strike was, a muscle flexing exercise which cost the lives of nine people, four of them being children.
If this shows us anything it's that people like Farron still haven't learnt anything from the past 10+ years(Farron almost always votes for ''intervention'')and that their problems with Trump were simply rhetoric based and not his polices.
But we watch Al-Assad shoot,bomb,torture, hang and starved men women and children to death everyday. This moral code on chemical weapons is bizarre, it's less of a red line and more of a line of what's acceptable.

More importantly in the rush to support trump from british politicians like farron, none of them say a word about Yemen.
In yemen, not only are civilians being deliberately targeted by bombs we sell the saudis, we have men on the ground as military advisers helping them do it. Where is the uproar for the deaths we are actively involved in from all these people?
Thats right, nowhere, because they don't give a shiny shite about any of them. Those in syria are used as an excuse to play politics, those in Yemen are ignored because the politics there will play badly for britain

Yet he hasn't ruled out going back into another coalition with the Tories.
Not sure that means he's giving tactic approval of more links to Saudi.
Oh the humanity, a politician said he might be willing to put his party in government if the parliamentary maths allowed it.
Theresa May is more dangerous than Donald Trump

I'm not a fan of May but there's so many ridiculous comparisons going on there and how he comes to the conclusion of 'fascist in chief, I'll never know.

Early election?
Though i suppose it could be something like giving an update on whats going on with the brexit negotiations.

General Election?
Imagine beginning a 24 month time limited negotiation and then surrendering 3 months of that to your own election.
Nothing is being leaked about what its about which is weird. Hopefully nothing serious and its not to do with ill health.
I reckon might be Duke of Edinburgh
Solidarity with the USA against North Korea? General Election? WWIII?
