It's a literal horseshoe between who you'd think is the party the answers are for, and the actual answer.

I'm imaging literal horseshoing is a Green thing they picked up from an ideas exchange in Germany.

Finally a policy i can get behind. Lab work in the morning, 'desk based activities' in the afternoon. Great British Productivity.

Saying "Look, if you've got a passport we've already got everything we need to complete your driving license renewal - including the photo - so here's a bonus card that makes things much simpler" might pay off. Start adding "you'll use it for reporting potholes" then they've lost the audience.

I'm scared of heights. Also my strength was in my legs (as seen when I literally carried two of my schoolmates over the try line in PE)

All the way back to Alistair Darling raising the threshold in 2007/8 too
