The old system, the £23k doesnt include someone's house until you are are in a care home.
The new system, the house is included straight away. So it does make things worse for many people.

Jeremy Corbyn ~1984
Yep, for me it's Davis. It has to be a brexiteer, and there's no one more stable and respectable than Davis.
Yes it has.
A 24 point lead blown within 7 weeks. That's what you call poor campaigning. I voted for her, but two things happened during the campaign that shook my faith in her. The social care tax was a suicidal move, but what bothered me most was when Jeremy Paxman asked her repeatedly if she (previously as a remainer) believed that brexit was better than staying in the EU. She wouldn't respond with a yes or no answer. How in the world can we have a leader of our country negotiating something she doesn't even believe in? These negotiations will effect this country for years, and she doesn't even believe that brexit is the right move for Britain. How dumb can she get and still breathe?
In a rare defence of May, there was no one credible who supported Brexit who was willing to stand to the end to actually become PM. The only person willing was Gove and his pastime involves unknowingly taking the piss out of himself. Leadsom dropped out once she realised it wasn't the 1920s anymore, and Boris never believed in Brexit either.
George Osborne, whilst not an MP currently, surely will be looking to get into the Commons and stand for the Leadership in the future.
Jezza jezza sign him up, jezza sign him up
Give George some of his weekly acid and he'll be seeing the magic money tree in no time!
Burnt too many bridges now I think.
I also think his reputation is gone, considering he was Pigfecker's no 2, and hence part of the team that kick started all this mess.
At the time I thought she was ok, although a little disappointed that she was a remainer. It was the campaign that really found her out. She was so robotic, repeatedly talking about Corbyn being untrustworthy as a leader, going to manufacturing plants talking to a privileged dozen workers, and giving soundbites to the cameras about how her government was the only government that was strong and stable etc.... really really poor.
Obviously much of it was driven by her advisers, but she trusted them. Her reputation is shot. She will be a laughing stock everywhere she goes. For me she needs to resign I think.

I was thinking more along the lines of getting at least 1 more paper on side.
That's probably how George was thinking too.
Australia and New Zealand have an arrangement whereby Kiwis can move to Australia and back freely, can work and live there indefinitely, pay taxes, superannuation and all the rest, sign up with a local GP for healthcare, exactly like an Aussie. Everything is the same apart from being unable to vote in Aus elections. Of course, it works the other way too. Not a problem really.
Common sense does not exist in Europe
thank god Global Britain will soon be out of it. We'll miss the guidance only the likes of Theresa May, Farage and Boris can provide
Sackable offence that
Saw some ex-spooks talking this way in a conspiracy-theory kind of way a while back. Didn't think it credible enough for posting, but it's there at the back of my mind nonetheless.
Well, she could've believed it, for one.
Well I am now of the thought that THIS govt should not go ahead with Brexit, any other govt yes, this one led by may is worse than Cameroon and Osbourne and that's hard to beat.
I always knew you were pro-Europe at heart.
Who should lead the government instead? (Genuine question)
It's a strange world we live in.
Did the EU murder a member of your family or something?
Indeed. Although you've literally described all the reasons EU Citizens come to work here, which is why everyone voted leave. Apparently we're better off with some sort of Canada plus relationship
I'm looking forward to Global Britain. I've no idea what that means, but it's going to be great. Presumably it means reducing red tape between us and Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada. Red tape such as requiring a VISA to come and work here.
Yes Stanley!
Also @Stanley Road I'd love to see what would be in your manifesto.
You're anti EU, pro high-taxes, pro free-market?
The Tory party needs to dissolve, still, keep voting for them Britons. You get the Govt you deserve right?
No, just an observation of how oz and nz can work things out sensibly. Europe needs rules, regulations red tape, bullshit and Junk.
But then that's a problem for me, and not a defence of Corbyn's referendum position - I honestly think a stronger leader of the opposition would have been able to stop us from the hard Brexit we're falling into.
See McDonnell today - they don't care about single market access. This should have been the time to attack May's Brexit cause and argue for the Labour vision, but the current leadership isn't interested at all. The same was true of the post-referendum period. Before May became PM, no-one had given the public a picture of what the referendum results would mean. That's a failure of the Corbyn leadership, probably the largest to date.
But who should lead the talks?
If may fails with queens speech does this cabinet she has appointed stay as is and become the shadow cabinet assuming Corbyns passes? Or does she reshuffle again?
Where does he stand on the compulsary serving of asparagous at breakfast?
Get Dan Hannan, Boris Johnson and David Davis in a room with some Swedish university political students.
Then whilst they're concentrating on that, we'll revoke Article 50 and ask our good friends in the EU to negotiate a new Treaty moving our membership sideways
Pretty sure she'd have to resign, so there would need to be at least one person shuffled about as someone takes her place!
But shadow cabinets just do whatever they want anyway
he resonated with voters because he believes in what he was saying.
He comes across as a decent guy who wants to help people.
Think he will be the PM if there is a new election.
