They ought to have called her 'FRY' not CADBURY' because her brain's obviously fried. Still this clip's not nearly as damning as a 3 year old clip of Farage talking sense about the NHS. Or is it?

Shows where they intend to go as to zero hours contracts, only lip service paid as to them and if they are given 5 more years in power,then more and more of these 'flexible' so called contracts wil be almost the norm.

Clearly no plans at all to address the real issue of zero hours contracts.

I consider Ian Duncan Smith the most vile politician there is in any party at present.

Scottish Labour Leader Jim Murphy to lose seat, poll finds

He won't lose it,I 'd put money on that not happening.
On the day,I still believe Labour will hold onto at least 15 of their seats in the end.

Still a really bad set of results for labour but I feel fairly sure a fair bit of the SNP support is 'soft' support, once voters go to the polling booth,that last minute pull to vote where they usually do,often gets too strong to resist.

Still a fantastic result for the SNP even taking all but 15 of Labour's seats however.
Also of course they will just about wipe out the Lib Dems,probably with the exception of Charles Kennedy and of course the last remaining Conservative MP in Edinburgh as well.

Surely Zero hour contracts should simply revert to what it really is..casual labour.
Then bring in laws as to how long you can employ an individual as casual labour, perhaps after 4 weeks they should be given a contract for guaranteed hours, same amount of hours each week even if it is on a rota.
Stop these bloody big firms using casual labour other than at seasonal times for a start.

Absolutely.
Also those on such casual labour contracts should not be included in the employment figures as being among those in full employment.

I have said this before but a supermarket near me, has put all its staff, except for management and supervisors,on 16 hour contracts and to date only a small percentage are getting more hours than that.
However, they cannot even work elsewhere in addition, 'just in case' they are needed at very short notice.
Unbelievable.

the labour zero hours policy will be circumnavigated by business in months

business works at least 2 years ahead of politics

their flagship policy is a bust

[empire]

its time cameron sacked duncan smith, his mind is stuck in the 19th century, the bbc audience where attacking farage, they don't want to face the truth, but to put there fingers in their ears, people who vote labour in grimsby should be ashamed of what they are doing, so if their are men and women in grimsby who are buggering your children, don't run to the ukip office, because you knew who you are voting for,

[empire]

one thing that pisses me off, is the media keep up with this, attack ukip, and it is every day they have being doing this, none of those people who work in the media would live next door to a group of roma gypsies, the younger generation or blairs generation as I call them, come out of university with degrees, and still have no concept of reality, of how tough life is, the media and students never boo the establishment parties, students say people who vote ukip are uneducated, that shows the huge insult to the british public, and to hard working people in this country,

Students would certainly boo the Tories and now the Lib Dems as well, admittedly not as much as Ukip but you'll find very few open Conservatives on university campuses

Looking at this: http://may2015.com/featured/election...es-keep-power/

It seems like it's going to be basically impossible for the Conservatives to form a majority. Even a Con-Lib-Ukip-DUP coalition is looking like it would be short of a majority. And the polls have been so static for so long that its hard to see that changing. I'm probably about 90% sure now that it's going to be a Labour government after the election backed by the SNP.

Blody hell.. I was worried that if Cleggy stuck with Cameron everything would stay as it is..but even if Farage joined suit..still no chance. Unless a massive change by the election I guess :S

My problem is, Labour would have to join forces with SNP and Plaid...who don't give a **** about the UK, only wales and scotland.

Edit.

If it wasn’t for the Lib Dem collapse, Labour would be polling below 30 per cent and Ed Miliband would not have made it to last night’s debate.

Without the Lib Dems, Labour would be on 27 per cent. Or perhaps 28-29 per cent, as some Lib Dems would likely have drifted their way since 2010. But they would not be on 34 per cent, and headed for power in three weeks; defecting Lib Dems account for 7 per cent of Labour’s 34 per cent vote share.

Wow..Clegg really has ****ed the Lib Dems over badly by getting into bed with the Tories

[MTVN]

Yeah Clegg keeps dismissing the polls and saying they'll do better than everyone thinks but it doesn't look that way, they'll need to do massively better than expected to renew the Tory coalition and they probs won't have enough seats to make that much difference to Labour either so I can't see how Miliband won't have to turn to the SNP :/

[empire]

here's the thing is that, ukip will take third place in may, nick clegg knows this, half of his votes and seats will go to that party.

Ukip will have about 3 MPs, at worst Lib Dems get about 20 more than that

I think UKIP are ging to be disappointed too as to seats won, they will do well in votes and come 2nd in many seats but fail to take that many.

I think the Lib Dems will fall to under 20 seats,they may just hang on to 20 but somehow,nothing is changing at all for them from the very low base they have been at for ages now.

I think I said this somewhere else,at present there is the expectancy of Labour and the Conservatives getting around 278 to 281 seats each with the SNP getting around 50.
If that really happened than neither Labour or the Conservatives could in any shape or form be able to govern without some agreement with the SNP, no matter what all the other smaller parties may get as to numbers of seats.
