We're all in this together

I think he communicated his plans very well. The problem for him is that everyone with any knowledge about or interest in the subject thought his plans were shite.

No, it's a matter of bad communication. It shows as you clearly don't understand the plans. Or why would you think that they are bad plans otherwise? ;)

Meme potential...

Ha, good one. We're all in the Lords together.

The more so because, as David Cameron has made clear, it isn't just about regulations, codes and rules. It's primary legislation too. The aim, he said in April, is "to massively reduce the number of rules, laws and regulations that, frankly, treat all of you like idiots." The key word there is laws. And sure enough, the Cabinet Office has put statutes as large as the Health and Safety at Work Act, the Sale of Goods Act, the Climate Change Act and the Wildlife and Countryside Act on the table. So too is the Equality Act. This isn't red tape. It is major legislation. Small wonder it isn't just the usual suspects like the TUC who are alarmed by what's afoot.

I agree with Martin Kettle that these acts contain 'hard-won, well-constructed and socially essential law'.

Hooray. All the best to a new 'university' largely for the humanities which appears to be being started with an extended session of woolly thinking.

Oh Oliver.

This is so disgusting that it makes you want to spit:

I don't have anything against him personally, but I really don't know what he's playing at.

A slightly different variation of the phrase, this time applied to political parties, makes an appearance:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/jul/08/ed-miliband-broken-omerta-old-monster

"We've all been in this together," he confessed. All the parties, "yes, including me", had cosied up to Murdoch, turning a blind eye to court political support.

At last a proper, honest use of 'we're all in this together'.

This Government give me the jimmies in the way they just don't carr. They really set the bar low, totally ungaryng.

The political and media classes that are debating 'poverty' have no idea of average earnings, never mind the cost of toilet rolls

I find it amazing that an article like this would appear controversial to anyone (I presume it is). There's so much rhetoric about poverty and unemployment these days, that basic sociological concepts like material and cultural deprivation read like a revelation.

Does anyone think they're alone in this whole coalition farce?

I honestly can't see them serving a full term, surely it's question of when and not if it will come to a vote of no confidence.

An excellent article.

The disgusting misuse of the thread title is alive and sick:

We're out of the double dip recession according to Dave - somehow I doubt it and kind of hope it spectacularly backfires on him. He really should have chosen his words more careful today.

What with a planet fast running out of space and resource there's a pretty good chance it will.

On the other hand if mood is lifted gdp grows.

Gotta try something right?
