If there's one thing completely clear from this it's that the general public have no chance of interpreting the success or implications of economic policy beyond how much do things cost/am I employed/has my pay increased?

Theresa May had a giant incongruous Union Jack in the background of her 'tribute to Prince Phillip' video message, just like she has in the last few videos she's been in. One step closer to American politics.

I enjoyed this video a lot. Well delivered. And yes - that's not an official Labour twitter. It's momentum ran though?

These are pretty good measurements, though? Our economy has recovered in a macro sense since the 2008 crisis, but people are generally in less secure jobs working for the same or lower pay while prices increase. That's not good and it's a large part of why I think the stories are poor stewards of the nation.

Weird question here, but: I don't qualify for Irish citizenship as neither my parents nor grandparents (all of whom are now sadly deceased) are Irish. However, my great grandfather was, which presumably means my father qualifies. If my father got Irish citizenship, would I then qualify on the basis that my father is (now) Irish?

Not as in "back where it would be if the recession hadn't happened", the usual result of recovery. Anyway lads, I'm off to help out with my local CLP.

He would had to have already been on the foreign births registry and have claimed citizenship by the time of your birth for you to qualify

As this is heretical talk against her Holiness Thatcher and should be punished. Only thing I could think of is that they have been in a coma for 40 years so are unaware of the poo poo Thatcher did to the Tories.

Well yes but then people struggle for the explanation so we've been sidetracked with immigrants took your jobs and Brussels took your 350 million a week, what a big number, drat EU regulations holding back Britain's thriving cake export market.
