Quote Universal Credit has now finished being rolled out across the UK. This means that in every area, almost all new claims for benefit will now be for Universal Credit instead of tax credits, Housing Benefit or out-of-work benefits like Income Support, Jobseeker's Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/help/Universal-Credit-Pilot Pedantic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to make ludicrous comparisons between perfectly legal tax avoidance and totally illegal benefits fraud but to start making comparisons with tax avoidance and the Birmingham Six incident from more than 40 years ago is absolutely beyond the pale. Are you on the sherry? Telling someone volunteering at a foodbank he's virtue signaling is beyond the pale. F**k off scumbag.

Aufc Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Labour's policies only look mad when put next to Tory or lib dem ones. Their programme is a standard northern European social democracy like Denmark or Sweden or Holland. The fact it has some scary price tags for it is just a reflection of how overdue much of it is. More to the point, the SNP supporting Labour on a vote by vote basis will moderate their plans and again make us more like a standard northern European country, which is what we should be.I reckon a lot of people will vote tory because the alternative is labour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reluctant Hero Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 About 4 hours until we start to get an insight into how this election might go. I couldn’t really care less who wins the race to be the first seat to declare. It is going to be between Newcastle Upon Tyne Central and Houghton & Sunderland South. The winners of the seat themselves will probably not be all that exciting either as Labour should be able to hold on to both of these pretty easily. The real interest in these early results will be in analyzing the share of vote for each party. This will especially be the case in Houghton & Sunderland South. They voted 62% to leave in the Brexit referendum in 2016. In the 2015 GE, UKIP got over 21% of the vote here, so how will the Brexit Party get on? And if they do well, who will they get their vote from? Labour or Tory? This will give an indication of how it might play out across the rest of England and maybe Wales. Then there are other interesting things such as the turnout. Typically, Houghton & Sunderland South polls at 8-10% less than the UK turnout. Newcastle Central also polls below the UK average, although the difference has been narrowing over the last few elections – from a 10% difference in 2010 to a 2% difference in 2017. So, although the first couple of results may not appear exciting on the face of it, there is plenty to look into! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
