What a delight to wake up this morning to find the LP will not agree to the craze law Osborne wishes to get though parliament.

Not content with pushing the poor into deeper penuary, destroying the NHS he was asking the country to do what no family or business to do - never have a deficit even if it is to our advantage in the long run.

Well done John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn - they have put all the country first.

All five of them?

And of course the single Green Party MP.

Eight of them, actually. Every little helps, as does accuracy.

A petition to get the government to own up to what the cuts are doing to the disabled.

Interesting, this.

I am sure Osborne did not realise his dad would benefit quite so much - or did he?

I'm sure good old Giddy believes his Dad's worth it!

FarNorth, maybe Osborne's going to have to take his dad's money back, to pay for all those poor people's tax credits.
Do you think his dad will be angry with him?
