Iain Conn, the chief executive of British Gas parent company Centrica, said "the facts do not support that the market is broken," claiming his firm's average bill had only increased by 3% each year since 2007.


Iain Conn, there. A bit of a [LIFTED] by the look of it...

I've long been a good judge of character... And that dude can't help himself. What he thinks are trivial sums are a small fortune to everyone else, and he just keeps dishing out the figures!

PMQs: May and Corbyn set out election 'choices' - BBC News
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39717866

The fact she has to bring up terrorism and a useless nuclear deterrent tells you everything you need to know about May. Ironically, she has no clothes.

General election 2017: Labour leader a 'mugwump', says Johnson - BBC News
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39727489

There will already be Twitter pictures of Corbyn as a supreme wizard.

And Boris can go shag some desperate tart, frankly.

I wonder how many Sun readers will look up that word.

Quote:
mugwump
noun North American
a person who remains aloof or independent, especially from party politics.

ORIGIN
mid 19th century: from Algonquian mugquomp ‘great chief’.


From the dictionary built into my computer.

The first definition could certainly be said to apply to Corbyn. I suspect however that Johnson really wasn't going for the second one though.

Almost certainly Johnson didn't actually know the dictionary definition of the word, he just knows it's a derogatory term of a.. quaintness that it fits his public persona to use. Plus whatever it was saying it got him on the front pages, which he's been finding quite hard to get to recently.

Either way, if you decide which way to vote based on Boris Johnson's opinion you're a bloody idiot given recent history. Especially given Boris Johnson feels absolutely no requirement to stand behind any opinion he may have expressed at any point in the past.

Aye, right. Who's paying the legal fees for all that if we even got a fcuker into court?

Truly independent people there... Once again pensioners are merely election fodder for all concerned.

General election 2017: May says Tories would not raise VAT - BBC News
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39761740

This is from the woman who oversaw a u-turn on a manifesto promise on NI rates, and said consistently she wouldn't have a general election...

Party leaders to take part in BBC election programmes - BBC News
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2017-39845685

Quote:
David Dimbleby will host the programmes in which Mr Corbyn and Mrs May, the Conservative leader, will face audience questions consecutively on 2 June.


Remember, strong and stable leadership! That's what's being displayed here...
Quote:
There will also be a live debate featuring senior figures from seven parties on BBC One on 31 May.

The debate from Cambridge, moderated by Mishal Husain, will feature Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, SNP, Plaid Cymru, Green Party and UKIP people.


So once again the leaders from NI don't get a look in, but UKIP does?

It's a fcuking disgrace that it was ever allowed to happen.

Immigration: Tories to keep 'tens of thousands' target - BBC News
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39840503

I hate that woman more passionately every day, but there's no doubt she knows how to play English voters who need to have a fcuking word with themselves if they want to have any sort of state services whatsoever... I believe they call it dog whistle politics these days. Every arsehole is at it, using backward nationalism to rekindle the fire snuffed out by bland answers and constructions such as 'I am clear that...' and 'Strong and stable leadership'.

Besides whether you actually LIKE the tories or not, they've made that same promise twice before and not only have they not met it, they've not even come close to meeting it. How stupid would you have to be to believe the same promise a third time?

General election 2017: PM vows to end 'rip-off' energy bills - BBC News
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2017-39852119

'As I sit here in trousers that cost more than your part-time job makes you in a month, I often think about the high energy prices...'

I said this months ago, she's shrewd enough to be frightened of, and act on, the slim chance of Labour gaining ground with economic populism.
