Hold the front page: Don’t divorce yet
In a shocking volte-face that left the good people of the central belt speechless, the Labour government has decided to start supporting married couples with the admission that “children notice” when their parents are married. As Chief Secretary to the Treasury says “I don’t seek to preach to anybody, but in an abstract way I think it’s better when children are in a home where their parents are married and I think children do notice if their parents are married or not.” errrrrrrr right!
However, there is a lot of members of the labour nomenklatura who have an ideologicaly aversion to marriage arguing that it diminishes single parents so dont expect Labour to support marriage immediately… there is another year or two until the next election, for god’s sake.
This wouldn’t be a tory policy would it.
