David Cameron to give a statement to the house tomorrow

Osbourne isn't in the house , expect he is busy on a building site

Think 3.30 whitewave

Thanks pen

My earlier reply was to lilyflower

roses I have not become more and more unpleasant. I have responded to posts but I have been polite and not personal. I am a left winger.

Cheers graces

Whitewave I have just had a look and can't see the time. The Guardian on Line says:

David Cameron is preparing for a Commons statement which he will try to use to repair some of the damage caused to his government by Iain Duncan Smith’s resignation and by the budget U-turn over disability cuts. His statement will be mostly focused on last week’s EU summit, but he will face questions from MPs for more than an hour and Number 10 has indicated that he will use it to insist that he remains committed to One Nation Conservatism. Duncan Smith suggested in his resignation statement and his interview with Andrew Marr yesterday that the government was now only acting in the interests of its own supporters, particularly the wealthy and pensioners.

Apparently Osborne will not be there.

Anybody got any idea what time is the statement from DC?

..... Lilyflower read the excellent post by Day6 on the other thread( what is positive by this government.) It says it all.
The left wing on the forum are becoming more and more unpleasant in their posts generally as time goes on.

Who was that said to pen?

Try putting 'Corbynites' in there too or any group!

The right wing media, and some individuals too are as voraciously ranting against ' Corbynites'. It happens in both directions. Don't take it personally it is politics after all!

If a person takes a strong stance they should expect a strong riposte!

lily I was talking about Westminster MPs and if you knew me you would know I didn't mean Tory supporters on GN. That simply isn't my style.

He'll bells, how sensitive can a person be, I have been classed as a member of the loony left by several tories here , I don't squeal

Ed Milliband is a .jew by the by

Kippers are UKIP members Lilyflower not Conservatives (which I presume you do find acceptable). I seem to think they used it first to describe themselves. "Tory" has a long history and has often been used as shorthand for Conservative - from about 1830 apparently.

Do you think you may be being a tad over-sensitive? If you associate yourself with politics which some abhor you may feel the comments are personal but that happens to those who declare themselves in favour of any political party surely.

"No one can do back biting and unpleasantness and inuendo like the Tories".

Substitute for 'The Tories with 'the Jews', 'black people', 'Muslims' and so on and see how acceptable that sentence is.

I seriously think that, even with all the kerfuffle with the SNP and Miliband's 'Edstone' one reason why the left was quietly trounced in the last election was the invective of the left. I heard with my own ears and saw in the press and on Facebook Labour supporters calling Conservatives 'fascists', 'racists, 'bigots, 'Kippers' and 'Tories' (uttered in tones of loathing.) These same Conservatives being nice, kind, moral, responsible, pleasant, well mannered, hardworking, taxpaying, charity-donating, volunteering, decent people. They never answered back. They just voted.

Fascinating to read your contributions on this link and also on the one about lies or spin.

It seems we live in interesting times

If Osbourne moves to the FO surely he will stop wearing those hard hats....

I think you'd need hard hats anywhere in the Middle East at the mo. I imagine the FO job might involve going there at some stage....

Of course it very much depends on the referendum outcome. If is out then GO DC etc are sunk without trace.

If Osbourne moves to the FO surely he will stop wearing those hard hats , who would become chancellor?

Talk of Gideon being moved to the FO post referendum.

They will find a way to wiggle and lie their way out of this whitewave, bet there is more than 'oh dear' being said though. All this - I have great respect for Ian , through gritted teeth , so funny , such lies

Is GO expected in the chamber today or is he in hiding?

Obviously whitewave!

One of the BBC reporters said that what we are hearing from the various Tory bids trashi g each other is nothing like what is being said away from public view. She said it would make your hair turn blue if you could hear them.
Personally I would prefer red

Here we go again, remember when Oliver Letwin put his foot in things and then couldn't be found , it became quite a joke like where's Wally, the press were asking where's Letwin. So I ask, where's Georgie ? He should speak out, doubt he is skiing with Boris , perhaps he has gone ahead to Lanzarote to wait for Dave .

The Mail is backing IDS
