Current Affairs The General Election

[sbbefc]

Your a joke......both main parrties with 80 percent of the vote had manefesto,s of the 2017 stated they would carry out Brexit..

Labour pledged to leave with a deal retaining access to the single market and staying within the customs union. That would have almost certainly have had happened if they'd won the election. The fact is the Tories were not willing to compromise. Blame your beloved Tories for this mess.

According to Indeed, an Amazon warehouse packer gets £8.99 an hour, which is (apparently) 11% above the national average (presumably for similar jobs). I'm not sure what taxes have been cut for them, but they do appear to pay lower than the standard corporation tax, which would seem to be more a case of collecting what should be collected, unless incentives have been provided to base a facility somewhere (as in the beauty parade for the 2nd HQ in the US). Not sure really what you mean with wages seeing poorer people have less money as they seem to pay not only above the minimum wage but above the industry standard wage.

As for Facebook and the other tech giants, you'd imagine that most of their employees in the UK are developers and other pretty well paid people.

I'd imagine a mum and dad earning 9 pounds oer hour will be hit by a variety of measures imposed on the poorest under this government. At the same time the wealthiest have gained wealth at an exponential rate. I'm not sure any of the above can really be queried from a point of accuracy can it?

That's the wider point here, you ask people who want better services expect others to pay for it, but if we are making sweeping generalisations surely the reverse is also true?

500 mps did not vote to leave the EU in the brexit referendum

384 more than 50 percent what went wrong?

Those terms are staying in the EU...
Let's see what the electorate choose....

They would have technically carried out the will of the 17.2m people though...

Pity there never did though...

If that's the case Joe, surely 40% of Labour voters voted to stay in the EU at the last election?

This is how it was in the Victorian era. Not sure we want to return there, although I’m aware many Conservatives think that child Labour and the spread of cholera is a ’good thing’ and should be encouraged to keep the underclass in their rightful place.

Child labour , Cholera....dear god what about the Black Death or Spanish Flu....do you have any realisation how stupid you look......

Stephen Twigg is standing down for West Derby so don't know who the next Labour MP will be.

I genuinely do fear Diane Abbot, Jess Philips and David Lammy having any power.

Over 50 MPs gone already and many more who put two fingers to Brexitirs likely to bite the dust too on either sides too some of the swamp has been drained new faces will appear from all parties which hopefully will be a good thing with a hopefully new impartial speaker ....... I will respect any result democracy should be king.......

You didn't respect the 2017 GE, despite 'the will of the people'.

Why Jess Phillips?

 

[Tubey]

Why Jess Phillips?

Yeah was thinking that myself.

Lammy and Abbott are two of the worst politicians this country has ever produced - Phillips doesn't belong in the same category.

You genuinely have no understanding of how democracy works It's a shame because you've repeatedly had it explained to you but you refuse to engage or listen

 

[dead_soft]

Why Jess Phillips?

It'd benefit most to ignore @Monster Ultra and Roganites like him
