Who was the interviewer here? His level was pretty much facebook comments debate.
General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
It was Adam Boulton.
Never heard of her before watching that, but she did come across very well on that interview.

Very good interview, disarmed the stupid questions immediately and kept on message.
The only thing i know about her is she resigned, came back and that she has a caution for domestic abuse of her ex husband. Strong but maybe not stable
What return? It never left in practicality
Automation is just a fact of life, it's going to happen, just as the industrial revolution changed the World. It's progress, impossible to stop by any political party and will be the big conundrum of our times.
But fox hunting is a barbaric "sport" for the rich, much easier to tackle & May's stance is as expected, digusting.
your kind of highlighting my point ones a massive issues that will effect all probably everyone in the country within a decade (at most 2), that no one has answer to, that desperately needs highlighting and debating. The other is just a disgusting backwards activity obviously carried out by a few obviously backwards individuals.
Yet which one do people care about the most? which one is getting the most coverage? ........
The one that is an immediate problem and is a quick fix. Its no surprise these issues receive more coverage.
Had Sky News on in the background this morning whilst "working" from home.
Twice they've spoke over women or ignored they were on. Long-Bailey and Rayner weren't labeled and their speeches were only on whilst waiting for Corbyn.

its not surprsing but its wrong!
If we all spent all day talking about the big fundamental threats to humanity we'd never progress on the smaller stuff.
Your automation example is peanuts compared to climate change or disease control/antibiotic resistance

Might have been last chance of a proper swing, ach well.
agreed but when you talking about what should be one of the biggest issues at this election how the population of a society supports itself when it takes less people every year to run a society, an issue that is going to effect pretty much everyone in the country over the next decade or so getting less coverage and provoking less intrest then a few neanderthals wanting to engage in a backwards activity, then their is a problem.
Take a look at this. More ridiculous rubbish from the Lib Dems

I think you can infer they mean on an annual basis working 37.5hrs a week
Means less than min wage at full time hours, doesn't it?Take a look at this. More ridiculous rubbish from the Lib Dems

Yeah, probably. I.e. less than £16k a year.
But then should just right "We will take those earning less than £16k a year out of income tax" rather than the rubbish they've written
A lot of people don't know their exact earnings, but they'll know if they are on the NMW.
A bit of fuss about nothing
I suppose the lesson here is never to explain a policy that's defined annually with a law that's defined hourly.
Also, they've written "no one should pay tax if they earn less than the minimum wage". Does this include Council Tax, VAT, etc?
What they should have written is
"no one should pay tax on the part of their earnings, less than the minimum wage". (Maybe someone can write that more clearly).
Now that's a policy I think people can get behind!
Still, the Lib Dems remain the only sensible party

Apparently Labour are going to scrap tuition fees.

Never going to happen, but good that it's back on the Agenda
May will trump that by scrapping tuition.

Teach us, oh wise ones.
Sounds like there's another lesson to be learned there.
You joke, but I wouldn't be surprised if May would love to see the number going to University drop by two thirds.
Once that's achieved, she can increase the number of government bursaries available to the top students (most of which will happen to come from Private and Grammar schools).
And then we're back in 1984
At that point she'll peel off her mask and it'll be Margaret Thatcher who managed to fake her own death. Genius. A proper Scooby Doo ending!
What mask?
Does anyone have a link to a PDF of Labour's manifesto?
Exactly! It's almost like the gap year never ended. But such was the culture created over the past decade or two.
If they actually intended to specialise in their field of choice, particularly areas in which the country has a need, the debate would have more validity.

Isn't one yet, but here is the reddit post with all the parties info so far

Thanks. I looked earlier but came up empty, guess that's why.
- Legalise weed
- Soft Brexit
- Take the lowest earners out of tax
Just need to put "triple lock the NHS" in there, and they've cracked it

Don't be ridiculous. Shirley Williams didn't stick her name on a bill designed to get the NHS to breaking point, just so some no mark can some along and make sure it sticks around.

My main problem with universities isnt the fee's it's whats been taught and the quality of the education received by students.
I have a student loan, my girl friend has a student loan, pretty much everyone i know has a student loan, does it make a difference to my life at all ? not really, the extra few quid ever month would be quite nice but it its hardly noticeable. whats more noticeable is the fact i spent 3 years on a degree ( i got a 2:1 in history) that that basically counts for nothing these days.
i honestly can say the amount of people i know who went to university who have 1sts yet arnt earning enough money to even start paying back their degree who's bosses didn't go to university is in double figures.
the problem is simple, in the past the fact you had a degree counted for something, now unless its a specialised subject where you need a lot of training(eg: Dr, Nurses, Engineer) then the degree is basically worthless and its experience what counts. Yet we arn't telling our kids this in school, and their all going of to uni, studying things like Media, Drama, History, Music...... and coming out of university with a degree that serves no real purpose, with few transferable skills, and basically 3 years behind in experience to their mates who didn't go to uni.
plus the actual courses themselves are laughable, you basically get around 8 hours of lectures, seminars a week, a library card and some assignments. Im heavily dyslexic and am very slow at writing and reading, but i had more then enough time to study, work near full time and drink far more then is healthy, and the amount of work i was set on my course was actually quite heavy compared to my house mates studying media.
yes it would be lovely if education was free, but id rather the mess that is our higher education system be sorted out before we start worrying about fees that don't really effect peoples lives.

Don't think I have a comeback to that
I think people complaining about students going to university willy nilly are 5 years behind.
- Tories have introduced, and are introducing and promoting NVQs. That is, qualifications designed to get people into work.
- Tories have increased tuition fees considerably, and these are increasing every year (because the repayment threshold isn't rising when it should be).
