giving an answer, and totally embarrassing her party - by the way reducing corporation tax has fetched in an extra 8 billion to the exechecker as business want to then locate here, push it back up they will leave so will the jobs!

er - she was talking about (and this policy is based on) reversing the cut in Capital Gains Tax, not corporation tax.
 
To be fair, they could have announced the intention to hire an extra million police, it still wouldn't make any difference as they haven't got a cat in hell's chance of ever being in a position to enact it.
True , but if they came out with a few decent policy statements it might make it not the landslide most are expecting, myself included.
If they were fit for the job they could have played hell over the Tories election scandal, u turns ect but all we are getting is the Tories , who by the way aren't really putting anything out there just sitting back letting labour fall over itself with the likes of Abbott.
Should shut up for a week or so and let the light shine on the government for a bit.

I think Labour's campaign has been decent so far (even though I don't agree with most of the policies they've put forward), but unfortunately, with people like Corbyn and Abbott at the top of the party, this was always going to happen at some point.

As you say, the Tories are quite happy to sit back and let Labour do damage to themselves. I think they'll leave the big attacks on Corbyn until the last two weeks.
 
Pete reads what he wants to. It's called "selective tory perception". There's little debate on this thread, it's banal point scoring with dinosaurs set in their polarised ways. A good microism of politics in the U.K.

What's a microism ?.....

I agree with this. Corbyn is trying to get a message out, it's a confused message but he is trying. The Tories are doing sod all and the Libdems just keep going on about Brexit. Little from the SNP so far. It's all a bit quiet really, which is why the media jumped on Abbott. As you say the last week or two is when it will get nasty....
 
Murdoch is urging you to rip into Labour rather than set your focus on the tories destroying the weakest in society. Don't fall for it. All this encouraged objectivity is narrated by tories all over the media. Do you want to see your city ruined again?

Sorry non scousers I know this may not apply to you but you're likely dyed in the wool Tory so I really don't care about you.

This is what they keep saying, but one does wonder how true it is; for a start, almost everything there is about him has already been used by loads of opponents and we have had eighteen months of regular attacks on him by a fairly united political class and media - so there is unlikely to be the huge bombshell out there, and even if there is people are not going to be surprised by it.

This is after all what happened in the US presidential election where the media and the Clinton camp spent months having all manner of legitimate and illegitimate pops at Trump, to the point that [Poor language removed]-grabbing tape was released it had zero effect for them - enough people either didn't believe it (because of the clear agenda the media had in that election) or weren't surprised by it to the extent that they wouldn't vote for him because of it.

If the polls continue to narrow, I'd expect that the attacks will probably take the form of increased internal opposition to him - Blair's increasing visibility lately being perhaps a precursor.
 
Abysmal reading this. How can people have such a disconnect with the club and the city?

All the Tories have done is try to destroy us.

Ashamed to call some of you blues.
