Went to the polling station to vote today. Very quiet, and, strangely, a lot of school kids there.

Denmark have said today they want access to UK fishing waters in the UK-EU trade negotiations. BJ wants a quick deal, will he roll over (as he did with the border in the Irish sea)?

Having chosen to go it alone, we're about to become the junior partner in a negotiation with the EU and the junior partner in a negotiation with the US.  And Japan.  And Russia.  And China, probably.  We're about to become everyone's bitch.  #takingbackcontrol

Another one said that people that need food banks should be more careful with their money, and that they should consider getting a payday loan if they are struggling.

I don't know if he was voted in. But he was tory.

Wasn’t Mr. Tomlinson was it?

JT's line is that they should take in a lodger.... he might have recommended the lodger using Wonga, other payday loans are available.

There was another one that defended an article that said disabled people should be paid less because they should be happy for the opportunity to work and they don't understand the value of money.

I don't know if she was voted in.

I'm not sure you are quite quoting it correctly, it related to a sub set of disabled people.  People with learning difficulities, at the minute some won't have the opporunity to work (as they are competing with people who don't have LD), however they still contribute by volunteering etc.

But if you reduce the cost of employing people with LD's then they would be more likely to be employed.  Whether in practice it would work... I'm not sure.

I did not vote for the tories but I understand the point being raised, rather than just the headline.

LABOUR PARTY DEBRIEFING:

"I just don't get it, we've spent the last 3 and a half years calling working class people fascist scum, nazi pigs, Little Englanders, Brexshitters and morons and then when you ask for their vote the bastards vote against us."

She argued that some people with disabilities should be paid less for the reasons given. That is what she said.

That is fucked up. Very, very fucked up.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Jo Swinson yet

No reason too. She must have still been smoking those Caribbean rizlas to think she was going to get 300+ seats to be PM or anything meaningful to cozy up to another party to power share on a ticket of two fingers up to 17.4 million voters with no redress. I’m also surprised no one ever mentioned that there must have been Lib Dem’s who voted Brexit. Equally Lib Dem’s who shuddered at the prospect of Corbyn in No.10, tactical voting can work in more ways than was being espoused in the run up.

Have you actually watched the video? She clearly states it's about people with learning disabilites... I like how you have read the mirror headline and not actually watched the video.
