Current Affairs 2017 General Election

He's better than Corbyn

Skinner would, absolutely. It is a just a shame he isn't twenty years younger.

For me, this is looking like a similar "who do I dislike the least" kinda situation that the US had.
Probably go for Lib Dems...jeez.

This labour MP makes a good point:

Kinnock today: "I dont think I'll see another Labour Government in my lifetime."

He condemned a generation of people to that with his two embarrassing defeats.

I mean, you wouldn't open your grid if you had that record, would you?

Just sit in the Lords, ginger, and have a sleep.

Like Moyes parting gift to us when he said "I don't think Everton will ever win leagues like they used to." Must be a ginger thing.

Two of them are nasty pieces of work. I dont know what the plural of Judas is bit it applies here.

3 labour MPs in the north east not willing to stand for Corbyn this time. Could well be many more to follow before the deadline of 5pm tomorrow

It's not about exploiting people, it's about accepting that there are a whole bunch of people whose expertise could improve the health of the nation, and the NHS should be a broad and open church that leaves no stone unturned in supporting the health of the nation.

I agree - its just I fail to see how training NHS staff, transferring them to the likes of Circle and expecting them to do more of the same work for worse pay, with worse conditions, with less facilities and whilst ending up paying more to run the service than it used to cost the NHS, achieves that goal.

Judiths?

 

[davek]

Judiths?

Judean front?

 

[roydo]

Judean front?

Haha!

Jedis, Judies.

This could get boring and result in thread bans for both of us!

Bit fed up with elections, if I am honest.

It will be interesting to see how Labour fight this election. Tories don't need to campaign on anything but Brexit, but will Labour go head to head with them and put all of their eggs into the Brexit basket? Or will they concentrate more on public services? The wider their focus, the weaker their message will be.

Just listened to a bit of Corbyn just now.

His big idea seems to be a Government investment bank to lend money to companies. Only a clip, but hardly got me racing to the polling station if I am honest.

He's genuinely going to try and say to the public 'we need another bank'. It's crazy.

Things Theresa May has done that Corbyn hasn't:

• Voted against repeal of Section 28
• Voted against gay couples jointly adopting children
• Voted for Benefit Capping
• Voted for illegal Iraq War
• Voted for bombing of Syria
• Championed UK withdrawal from European Convention on Human Rights
• Voted for Bedroom Tax
• Voted against equalising of Age of Consent
• Ducked out of Brexit debate (much more than Corbyn) before June 23 2016
• Championed the "Snoopers' Charter"
• Ducked out of Live TV debates for GE17

The woman is as repulsive as they come. She has to go.

Like I said, was just a clip, but, yeah, that was the bit I heard.

Would be better to fight on the ground they are comfortable with, nhs ect and let the tories/ libs fight it out over Brexit, they cant gain anything there as the northern voters want out mostly, and the big cities london, liverpool ect want in, so they cant win either way.
Lots to pull the goverment and the SNP up about, but are they getting it across to the voters?
Sadly i dont think it matters as people will not vote for the leadership in place , not just Corbyn but the lightweights he surrounds himself with.
