Not really as some Labour voters would never ever vote Tory - yet would vote for the Brexit party......

So why are the jobs advertised in the left wing Observer ?......

Mmmm, being a rabid momentum loon I'll have a go and answer. Same reason jobs are advertised anywhere, because there is vacancies, arrrgh I'm left wing nut job..

Not really as some Labour voters would never ever vote Tory - yet would vote for the Brexit party......

Think you miss the wider joy of Farages U-turn, that he is indeed in bed with the Tories, and now fully signed up to Johnson Brexit deal (Mays Brexit deal with a blond wig). Despite telling all listening on his radio show for weeks, it was a dog's dinner and he could not accept it, as its Brexit in name only.

Which candidate did you have in mind? And which constituencies?

About 650 tbh.

And don't get me started about my own. It's the safest seat in the world probably lol

What has Clinton said other than 'Russian interference is bad'?

Can I just make the observation that the scroungers on the welfare state are by and large those with money

• Tenants have not benefited in the slightest from housing benefit - it is a direct subsidy to landlords
• Similar benefits like Working Tax Credits enable people to work only because employers are subsidised with top ups to the low wages they can get away with.

Just in the interests of balance....

This, basically. It also applies to things like PFI, part privatisations and a whole host of other things the taxpayer is on the hook for.

It doesn't matter though. I mean that appalls us, but you look at Trump and absolutely none of his numerous indiscretions and un-statesmanlike behaviour have made the slightest dent in support from his base. They don't mind that he lies and cheats, because they believe he's lying and cheating on their behalf.

Farage. Man of the people



Ha

 

[twoblue]

says a lot about Labour....

which was the point

 

[abelard]

The standard of candidate being offered up by the two main parties is pretty sad tbh.

It is much more a reflection of the fact that whereas social media did not exist before the 2000s, it now does.

We deserve much better.

We really don't.

Farage couldn't find time or resources to locate and vet 650 viable candidates for the Brexit Party. If he had put candidates up he would have been inundated with individuals that had numerous skeletons in the cupboard that would have come out throughout the election campaign, undermining Farage's future employment opportunities.

She has also commented on the report delay.

Should either Trump or Clinton be looking to intervene like this? Clearly the answer is no.
