TheRat posted:School spending to fall by 7 per cent if Conservatives win election, Institute for Fiscal Studies says I'm a bit confused about the maths on this one. quote:The Conservative manifesto said: “We will increase the overall schools budget by £4 billion by 2022, representing more than a real terms increase for every year of the parliament.” quote:In a new paper examining each of the main political parties proposals for education spending, the IFS calculated school budgets in England could face a real-terms cut of almost 3 per cent by 2021/22 if the Tories win the election. How can their manifesto claim a real terms increase, if its a real terms cut of 3% according to the IFS, or is this just an easily falsifiable claim in their manifesto?

Prince John posted:I'm a bit confused about the maths on this one. It wouldn't be the first massive error in their manifesto Experts have analysed the Tory manifesto pledge, billed at a £60m cost, and found it could be more than five times as expensive than first thought. Academics from the think-tank believe the true cost of the programme could be between £180m and £400m – the higher figure based on a 50% uptake.

With a majority of six, I'm holding on to the possibility that they lose their majority altogether. Now that's a comedy option.

Prince John posted:I'm a bit confused about the maths on this one. I haven't done the maths on it but I assume the Tories are using real term to mean they've factored in inflation, whereas the IFS are also measuring funding per pupil instead of just the total funding pot. Because pupil numbers are projected to increase, what looks like a sight increase actually means a real terms cut to per pupil funding.

If Labour loses by 1% you can't go "well if there was another leader they'd have gotten 5% more votes!" because the timeline would be completely different.

I'm not getting my hopes up on the strength of a couple of isolated polls, but lol @ May's ineptitude that it could even look this close. And if we do somehow go two for two Tory PMs calling on public opinion in the arrogant belief they can't lose and getting their hides tanned then lol forever. Serious, responsible, grown up politics.

Former home secretary and Labour MP reveals he has a bizarre historical worldview. Referring to Corbyn linking Western foreign policy with terrorism, he says:quote:Asked whether Mr Corbyn was right about the war on terror, the Labour's former home secretary Charles Clarke told BBC Newsnight: "He's simply wrong. Yes, that's right, I'm sure Al-Qaeda was formed spontaneously to stop young people going to events like Manchester, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Western foreign policy or the financial and military support that was provided to them.

"They hate us, because they hate us." Is my favourite take on why terrorism occurs. At least the freedoms line has an incorrect analysis.

I really like the official Tory version of May's decision to call the election, that she was on a walk in the countryside. Just strolling through a field dodging the cowpats, when she stumbles across a herd of sheep. She stops a metre away from a grizzly old ram, its tupping days mostly past but still ornery. It turns to look her dead in the eye, and right then and there, pierced by the ovine gaze of its rectangular pupil, she makes her choice. "Baa", says the sheep.

The hottest take is from the Mail, who have decided to put a fresh spin on 1920s American yellow papers. Since when did they start calling it marijuana in the British press? I've seen it in local papers too, just as the US seems to be moving towards the more value neutral cannabis. They're literally trying to reboot reefer madness, UK edition.

it's not a success for Labour if there isn't a change of government but it is a success for The Corbyn Project/parliamentary socialism if the Labour vote is strong enough to have justified the last few years. The latter is more important to me. I don't care about Labour, I want to wake up and feel vindicated how many more people got out and voted for a left platform than predicted.
