I don't usually use this word (in this case because it's an insult to dogs), but: what a total bitch!

The fact she's our home secretary is my issue with it. Why are people with views like this allowed to run the country...this must surely be the most extreme right wing government in a very long time. Not good at all

Meanwhile, the weak pound means that housing stock is not only a safe investment haven, but now much more of a bargain for overseas buyers ...

Labour now 23 points ahead.

The tories will have to go some to pull that back to a figure that gives them a working majority.

The question is, though: just how much damage will the inflict on the country before they (one hopes) get booted out?

Unfortunately, I think there still plenty of entrenched Tory voters who would still vote for them even if they introduced a Logan's Run style death at 30 for anyone not earning at least Β£50k a year.

I think it depends on whose growth you're talking about. The EU at al probably did stifle growth for the rich elite. Must have been really annoying not to be able treat everyone as chattel.
