To be fair that's not a one off saving of £4bn.

I think they've pressed on with it so pigheadedly because there are another 4 and a half years before the election, and they calculated that there was enough time for the anger towards the policy to dissipate so they could try to get their most ideologically distasteful stuff through now.
I'm certain they didn't intend for it to have to become an issue again, obviously why there's so much anger towards the Lords and renewed threats of reform, particularly from Osborne. It sets their plans back, presents a huge PR issue for them and particularly for Osborne whilst he's putting the wheels of his leadership campaign in full motion. The HoL has potentially badly harmed his hopes of being PM.
He only got the job because he went to Oxford with Cameron and they're best mates. Gideon always looks off his head all the time to me,look how he has a vacant look in the commons when he's not speaking.http://www.theguardian.com/business...ount-deficit-osborne-no-plan?CMP=share_btn_fb
Worrying that the Chancellor doesn't have any kind of qualification in economics or business. He does have a degree in modern history, though.

I don't agree, corbyn is providing an alternative to the conservative government and has energised the Labour Party and the left in general. I'm a labour member but have been generally apathetic and depressed with the direction the party has taken until the election of corbyn. I now feel motivated to campaign again for a labour government especially in the face of a increasingly aggressive Tory party who are following and implementing an attack on the poor which would have made Thatcher blush. It won't be easy especially in the face of a hostile media and hostile party members who frankly should probably leave the party but corbyn is definetly not unelectable.His general point is right though. Who cares if the party membership has soared, the same has happened with the Lib Dems and they're hardly in great shakes are they? Labour are unelectable.
"Dear David,
Thanks for your message.
I assume you're writing in response to the coverage of my discussion with students at Cambridge University? If so, it might be worth reading the write-up by the student who was at the presentation for some fuller context, which you can find here: http://www.varsity.co.uk/news/9147
As you'll see, Tom made clear that I closed the event "without the tensions or antagonism that has characterised the post-Miliband Labour party" and also said that we need to "serve the Corbyn leadership".
The piece also makes clear that my remark about the current state of the Labour Party was in the context of having just suffered one of the biggest defeats in our history - which was the focus of my talk there.
You might also be interested to see the comment I issued to the media who covered the report of my remarks:
“My message to the students at Cambridge was clear: Labour has a mountain to climb if we are to recover from our defeat in May, and as the next generation of Labour activists they are absolutely central to our efforts to renew.
“I am confident that – with the support of committed Labour activists from across the country, and from all walks of life - we can build a strong, credible and forward-looking movement that promotes the interests of the many, not the few.”
I hope that clarifies things somewhat, and want to reassure you that my overriding priority is to serve my Party so that we can be returned to power in 2020. I hope that you will feel able to vote for me in future - and perhaps even campaign on behalf of the Labour Party - but either way I will fully respect your decision.
Best,
Tristram"
This was the reply I got this morning. Probably sent from an adviser. The next time he's around I'm going to speak with him face to face. I want proper answers.
It is abundantly clear he doesn't support Corbyn and that is fine; but his politics are far too Tory Lite especially for the constituency he represents.
TBH the constituency is probably perfect for a Tory Lite MP. You look at the 90s modernisers: Hartlepool; Darlington; Sedgefield; Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath. It's not your Islington or Manchester Withington-type demographic. It's the working-class "I don't care who the bloke with the red rosette is as long as he beats the Tory scum" type characters. Often poorly educated, these people tend to stick to the (formerly accurate, now somewhat less clear) principle that the Conservative Party doesn't act on their behalf and the Labour Party, in whatever guise, is a better bet."Dear David,

That's fairly damning he's absolutely right thoughHere is an AAV article on Hunt http://anotherangryvoice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/tristram-hunt-labour-1-percent.html?m=1
That's because of his MP's behaving like a gang of 12 year old public schoolboys, the way they shout "More" is embarrassing,anyone know what time the commons bar opens? Seems to me some of them are pissed for PMQ's.Cameron caught out making comments about how PMQ's is taking longer and longer.
Well I'm sorry it's such an inconvenience, Mr Prime Minister.
Can really tell he's getting uncomfortable.
It was worse than usual. Bercow was far too weak. He should have stopped the Tory backbencher a shouting Corbyn down.I watched PMQs this week for the first time in a while. I expect it to be tribal, but is it always so rude and obnoxious?
I'm afraid it is.It has become a shambles and a disgrace to parliament it's time Bercow kicked some of the loudest hecklers out of the commons so they can be shamed live in front of the public,might make thedm think again about their boorish behaviour.I watched PMQs this week for the first time in a while. I expect it to be tribal, but is it always so rude and obnoxious?
