Aren't we expecting an announcement today if it's to be on the 6th May as expected? Or is tomorrow when the announcement would be made? Wish they'd hurry it up so it's out of the way before summer holidays!

I don't understand why he's waiting until the last possible minute to announce it.

If I was Gordon Brown I think I'd announce it for the week later for no other reason than to annoy all the people that are "certain" it's going to be May 6th.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

We will get our day.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
