Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Green party doesn't really have a record of domestic terrorism does it?

Love it .Like to think Cameron was bobbing his head to that.
It's just a song Nick no need to deconstruct it, he's just calling the tories greedy gits.
A lot of doctors, at least here in Oxford, have been carrying placards saying "No Safe Not Fair" as a criticism of what's asked of them, I thought that was a good summary. Can't believe Hunt still has his job, he couldn't be more of a shithouse.
Problem is when he eventually is ditched, he'll be used as a scapegoat and the Tories will probably get away as a whole with minimal criticism.

Unbelievable.
Signed.
Didn't see a problem with it when it was announced as part of the budget and don't see the issue now.
The freezing of repayment thresholds is a much bigger issue that isn't getting the attention it deserves and this only detracts from the lies that tories made on that.

The dude who runs Moneysupermarket or w/e it's called is apparently trying to mount a legal challenge on that.
General election opinion poll failure down to not reaching Tory voters

They talk about the lowering the age to vote. They should also talk about stopping those over 70s from voting.

Or we just need more young people to get off their arse and vote to make sure politicians have to take more notice of them even if they think all politicians are the same.
Multi-millionaire Martin Lewis loves a bit of attention.
Does come across as a bit of a berk but he's done a fair bit of good.
He's attempting to save face on this one as he was heavily encouraging lower income households to forgot about the debt. He clearly hadn't factored in the tories changing the thresholds although I believe his point still stands.
A guy I used to work with is one of his editors now. Apparently, he can be annoying and hyper, but has unbelievable energy and passion in what he does.
Not sure about his advice on the debt either, but I agree that he is generally a force for good and well-meaning.
Holocaust Memorial Day.
Criticising Corbyn for meeting with a "bunch of migrants".
Stay classy.

Don't think he was critical of the meeting....more to do with the open invitation for them all to join us in the UK.
It's amusing listening to the bleating from Labour re the Google tax payment when the Labour Party actually set Google up to pay zero tax.

DC destroyed JC today!
Not something I've read up on so perhaps you can expand on how Labour set Google up to pay so little tax?
I wish the goverment would make up there minds on what their responsibilities are. One minute they're parading the deal as a goverment victory the next thing we have Cameron saying it's on HMRC independently...oh but not when Labour were in charge presumably as it was on them then?
Some folk suggesting it was a "dead cat on the table" trick intended to stop people talking about the (genuinely embarrassing for the government) Google tax deal, similar to getting Fallon out during the election campaign to divert from the non-dom issue.
Grisly trick, but one that works.
I thought he did well to resist spitting on the carpet after saying the word migrants. The moonfaced cockwomble.
I guess all governments share responsibility for not chasing up tax owed. It does have to be remembered that Google etc are doing nothing illegal. It is SO easy to limit corporation tax. Corbyn seems to have forgotten it but Labour when in government did feck all to collect any tax from the likes of Google.
Yeah possibly. It's certainly true that it diverts attention from an issue almost everyone agrees on (Google should pay more tax, and ideally the same rate of tax as UK based company would) to one as divisive as immigration. The left is outraged at his choice of language meanwhile plenty of the electorate agrees with him and don't see what the fuss is about.
Well Corbyn did state the review into Google started under Labour, no idea if that's true or not though. I personally think it's on the industry and HMRC as the staff regularly go from there to other tax advisory roles in the city.
I'd also remark that only the tits in Westminster care about the petty arguments of who did what in the past. The person on the street just wants multinationals to pay there share and for the current goverment to ensure that's done.
Just saw the video. I love the silence after he said, it sounded like a drunk relative at Christmas.
Yeah not a good idea to bring up Google .All Cameron had to do like he always does is avoid the question and remind his party when Labour was in power.
I think people give politicians far too much credit at times. Every cock up these days seems to be claimed by someone to be an orchestrated distraction from something else. I blame TV dramas...
Well given that it was a known tactic of the Tory election strategist Lynton Crosby, and people are now talking about this (doesn't hurt Tories at all) rather than Google's tax arrangements (does), it's not exactly a stretch.
I think the idea that whilst a bit wound up David Cameron let his tact slip seems much more likely.
I don't actually see how it works, in this instance. People are still talking just as much about Google (and indeed bedroom tax).
Nah that whole segment was scripted, he even looked awkward whilst saying it in a way that you don't when you're saying stuff in the heat of the moment.
BBC are doing a good job of staying on Google, but a quick look at the homepages of the Guardian and the Times and the main headline is stuff about migrants, with Google relegated elsewhere.
