Morning refit

Typical comment on today's Fintan in the guardian --

UncertainTrumpet 25 minutes ago ---

When Sunak tells people in Northern Ireland that they have a great advantage by having access to the EU market as well as the UK market which is true, does he think people in England, Scotland and Wales can’t hear him? They do have the internet

Also enjoyed this in last night's Crace --

Jacob Rees-Mogg and David Frost broke the habit of a lifetime by not publicly rubbishing the deal.

[gilsey]

Sunak is an idiot.

[AnatolyKasparov]

I see that he has committed to us staying in the ECHR.

Even if his Brexiteer backbenchers are willing to swallow this NI deal, they won't like that. At all.

[frog222]

Watching without the sound is fun, he's so effing bouncy --

@voblat Replying to @AaronBastani

Starmer has been, very overtly, far more nasty in his politics than this guy.
Its all there to be used. And the people laughing as starmer does it now, will be calling it shameful when the media as one throw it back at him come lection time.
Because they will.

Easy target for the Tories ?

Andew Sparrow:
"According to the Sun’s Harry Cole, at his meeting with the 1922 Committee Rishi Sunak ridiculed a poll finding suggesting that people think Labour would implement Brexit better than the Conservatives



If Sunak was suggesting that this finding means the polls are implausible, then he may have been drawing the wrong conclusion. Polls do show that voters trust Labour (a party that opposed Brexit) more to get Brexit done than the Conservatives. Polls also show that voters think Labour would do a better job of passing a law to stop small boats (which Labour is not even proposing) than the Conservative party (which is proposing this).

What these polls really show is that, almost regardless of what the policy is, people don’t trust the Tories to deliver.

Or, to paraphrase Sunak, when chickens think even the fox will do a better job of looking after the hen house, then the farmer really has screwed up."

Not everything's sunshine & roses, in Labour land

[refitman]

Yay! Tax cuts! Even less money for public services. Guess we'd better get some more private companies in to run them.

[refitman]

So simple and so clear

[AnatolyKasparov]

Yay! Tax cuts! Even less money for public services. Guess we'd better get some more private companies in to run them.

Well, that is one interpretation of what he said. Others are available.

It might also be worth asking that given the overall tax burden is so high (and it is) why is almost everything so s***?

[refitman]

Which taxes are too high? Because it certainly isn't corporation tax

[AnatolyKasparov]

I didn't say taxes were "too high", rather questioned where all this tax money is going given the state of just about everything.
