Current Affairs The General Election

[Undisputed_blue]

You forgot to add Browns oft repeated excuse, “which started in America”......

You mean "I don't understand the financial crisis so I rely on Tory spoon fed lies to sustain my ignorance and keep up the myth that somehow Tories are financially prudent".

 

[Charlie Sweet]

I just don't understand how this isn't being talked about on every news channel and in every newspaper? If it was a leader from any other party, it'd be everywhere.

This.

Johnson is captured spouting obvious lies on the single biggest issue of the election. Labour should just have him on this time and time again.

How has any Labour government changed the lives of the people living ‘up north’ in Council houses. The Labour Party take these people for idiots to take their vote and give nothing back in return.....

Pete you cannot seriously be suggesting that the Tories do more for people that live in council estates and struggle on little or no private income.

Pete it is quite simple; the Labour Party gave those people council houses. The Tory Party takes the council houses away.

How can someone from a council estate from these places look at the likes of Mogg and Johnson and think they represent my interests? It's terrifying what Brexit has done to the country. I bet even the Tories can't believe people are falling for it.

As well as being in the Express it's a Brexit right wing outfit , it's in the Dmail.

Dmail and You Gov

Both owned by tax-avoiding Tories.

Nothing to see here...

It's an open goal for them. Unfortunately they are too occupied with internal wrangles to take the chance.

Council houses were being built before the Labour Party even existed, under a Conservative government, and decades before the first Labour Government. The Tories actually came to power in the early 50’s on a promise to build 300,000 a year and that is when building really took off. By the time the next Labour government came along in the mid 60’s they were pretty well built. So it’s a nice piece of political myth......

The Tories try to provide the basis for the worse off to better themselves and gain employment. Labour just wants to spoon feed it’s voter base....Again, what has Labour actually ever done to help those people in Council estates to improve their lives or better themselves.....

I believe it was Labour who began Sure Start.

Decimated since 2009

Sure Start centres 'big benefit' but face cuts

Early years centres have a positive impact on health, a think tank says, but they face cuts and closure.

First Labour Government was in 1924.....if you know your history.....

Have a look who Dr Addison was, how many council houses were built between 1919 and 1939, then we will talk factual history not what some Tory opinion journalist you are regurgitating...
