The new May government are producing a green paper on the WCA not that they will be ending more curtail on sending for people with long term illnesses, Cancer, parkinson's , etc etc something Gideon would not do he sent for people on their death beds a blanket assessment of everyone, i.e. they were all cheating the system utter disgraceful.
straight away the new regime is hopefully seeing the errors of his ways it does not affect me as I have adequate pension , but the horror stories the cost of these medicals taken by push button IT firms fetched in under Labour then abused by Osbornes ideology disgusts me!
Even IDS walked out on him!
In fact imo it was just a publicity stunt causing a rise in actual benefits /housing benefit while massive contracts to ATOS and now Centrica - the new bill is in progress -lets wait, and see is supposed to be more sensitive to cause less stress to claimants on sickness, and disability!

How about the majority of labour party telling us to stay in the EU - along with the tories, etc?

People got fed up of being told what's good for them by people with few differences in policy. Self-serving politicians were as much a factor in people sticking two fingers up at the establishment as other factors like immigration, poltical union, etc.

How do you think Trump's got as far as he has?

And by the way, Corbyn was Labour party leader when the vote was taken...

I'm quite certain that there are (finally) quite massive differences in policy between the two major UK parties.

Joey, don't kid yerself that the Imbecile Dummkopf-Schmitt walked by virtue of any altruism or concern for the people he'd driven further into penury. Nor that the rest of them give a toss about the welfare of the poorest today, tomorrow or any other time in future.

Not while the labour party's still full of diet-tories. That's the only place you'll find the difference.

It is of course, but that won't be the case forever.

No because Labour will have less seats!
Boundary changes, Corbynism, etc

You're for some reason suggesting that Blairites will be disproportionately affected by boundary changes? That's one hell of a study you've conducted.

Because people who study things may have been wrong once, we don't need to worry about studying stuff in future. Didn't you get the memo?

Doesn't look like the tories are gonna be.

Yes we got the memo Bruce you want to see the country crash over Brexit that's the future you want not even dare see it!

The Labour Party will be disadvantaged by boundary changes without having Corbynism who by the way will use deselection to his advantage not for his chances of ever being PM!

Yada yada, but how does that affect the proportion of Blairites left?

He doesn't have a right to deselect anybody, that power lies with CLPs.

Ask his PLPs who have had bricks trough their windows!

Unfortunately the media impression tells a different story. The perception of similarity is manipulated by showing/quoting likeminded representatives of both sides on particular topics, despite there being variances, more in approach than policy. Until the PLP itself is purged there is always ample opportunity for this to take place.

Ireland’s prime minister has warned that Brexit negotiations between Britain and the rest of the European Union could turn vicious.

Enda Kenny also predicted that Theresa May might respond to pressure from within the Tory party and trigger article 50 to eject the UK from the EU before next spring.

Kenny told an audience of politicians, business leaders, trade unionists and community organisations in Dublin on Wednesday that May has agreed with him that there would be “no return to the borders of the past” after Brexit.

Speaking at an all-island conference on Brexit’s impact on Ireland, north and south, Kenny said he had an assurance from the British prime minister that there would be “no hard border” between the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland, and that the retention of an open border was a critical element of negotiations.

On the subject of hostility towards the UK, he said: “The other side of this argument may well get quite vicious after a while, because there are those around the European table who take a very poor view of the fact that Britain decided to leave.”
