I thought it might be a good exercise to list the successful and positive things this government has achieved, as I am struggling at the moment to feel anything but utterly gloomy.

I will get back with a contribution to the list once I can think of something.

So can mps vote on a budget that doesn't balance?

If the answer is yes what is the point?

They have a majority of twelve so will have to get everyone in for the vote

roses I am at a loss to see what has made you go. My political views are nothing to do with why I think we need to talk openly and often about mental health, what alleviates it and what can trigger it. In this case there have been reported suicides where a person's situation has deteriorated due to the additional worry about the impact of political decisions on their circumstances. It is a fact.

Just keep clicking on the image as it comes up, and eventually you will get one big enough to read.

Are you going to it, whitewave?
