I wonder how many of the 160,000 conservative members who will choose our next PM stand to personally gain from Boris's tax cut offer? Might this be a good reason for his tactic?

Some will, but plenty of none Tories such as myself would benefit too.

Tories generally believe in low taxation and a small state and it has worked well for them electorally in the past - notably in the 80s. As a tactic for winning elections I suspect it has probably had its day, for the moment at least.

This is exactly the reason. He is wanting MP's to support his leadership bid and how better to do that than make sure if he gets the leadership they will benefit financially.

Can't buy Corbyns vote but he benefits on his £160k per year.

A huge dollop of scaremongering there by you and Farage. What you say is substantively not true. The law is in place as much to protect employers from false accusations as workers from discrimination.* In reality its about companies having their policy and processes documented and in place. Acas will not move a case forward, or a job candidate wont win a case, for the simple reason they are on the discriminated list and did not get the job. Employers are well protected by the law.

This is more evidence that Farage and ERG have a bigger agenda to dilute workers rights (employment law, health and safety at work and minimum wage) to make the UK a low cost deregulated market. Leaving the EU opens us up to this change.

["The Equality Act 2010 is an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom with the primary purpose of consolidating, updating and supplementing the numerous prior Acts and Regulations, that formed the basis of anti-discrimination law in Great Britain."]

Once again you miss the point he was making. I am not going to try and explain this to you because you have already made up your mind that what he was saying is a racist comment which could not be further from the truth but I guess you know best.

I don't think what Farage is saying is racist in any way. The question is whether it is a far right political idea in that it favours the native country and discriminates against non natives. That doesn't make him a racist. Just suggests he has some ideas/policies/sympathies that could be defined as far right.

It has never been far right as you say to look after your own first.

Good grief.

Just to clarify. I was replying to your post (to confirm - the comment you made). Can you not understand that.

And hold on just a second Big Lad - please show me where I referenced Farages comment as racist?
