Current Affairs The Labour Party

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

What point ? The fact that once again the Tories had to undo the damage of a previous Labour government and turn the country from ‘the sick man of Europe’ , with out of date and ruinous unions, and turn it into a modern economy. Yes, we all went through that pain, and today, having spent ten years undoing the damage from the last Labour government, Employment is at its highest level in history and unemployment at its lowest point in half a century.

Now maybe you can address my question of what did losing an election ever achieve......

Honestly Peter, I'm sick to the back teeth of you Tories peddling these outright lies about the mess left to you by Labour, there was no money left because Gordon Brown had to step in and fund several banks, saving the financial system in this country from crashing, any government in power would of had to do it.

It is the biggest lie told to the public by the Tories in recent times, but it's hardly surprising, it's how Tories win elections, brainwashing the public with lies, 88% of Tory campaign ads online during the election contained false information one university study concluded, Labour 0%.

I wish Corbyn would stand up and defend his manifesto instead of wandering about like a ghost.
OK it was too ambitious but it did contain some proper Labour policies.
It woz his stance on Brexit and the Tory media wot won it.

Didn't Corbyn claim that Labour had "won the argument"? Surely that's defending the manifesto?

But I thought we were selling the NHS to Trump.....

Add to that a not much discussed, undisputed economic fact: that government directed more money from the better off to the worst off than any other in UK history.

But Tory Blair etc etc

And they continually decreased Vat on multiple things

Watch this Peter it's on ITV player online, the prep is well under way, the Tories have privatised the NHS by the back door since the 2012 Health and Social care act and the public has no idea they are doing it.

There are US consulting firms running the NHS as I type this.

A very respected and distinguished investigative journalist has done this documentary, nothing but facts are shown.

Pilger must be wrong. Johnson said it wasn't for sale to US health companies.

Corbs isn't doing himself or his party any favours by hanging around with a face like fizz. Hand over to Harman and go on your hols. You did your best.

 

[dead_soft]

Of course I do, that’s why I believe it important to win elections...if you are happy being the party of permanent opposition then good look to you....

Who said anything about being happy? Angry that the sort of man who thinks modern day Germans are a continuation of the Nazis has his party in power

Listening to the news today it featured Johnson in parliament and it balanced it with what Jeremy Corbyn was saying back to what Johnson was saying.

Only thing I could think of was, who gives a flying one what corbyn thinks about it? Losing his leadership and destroyed in an election? That's the last politicians views I want to know anymore.

Don’t be silly. Modern day Germans are not Nazis......

The very first privatisation of the NHS was by a Labour government in the Blair years - auxiliary services , like catering cleaning etc opened the door .....and the less said about his PFI idea of building PFI new hospitals have not been paid for even now......

The principles contained in the Labour manifesto were good. The deliverer was poor. The delivery was poor.

But it doesn't make those ideals go away.

One day people will realise that there is a need for those sort of policies and hopefully there will be a leader to deliver them.

Some of them, not the renationisation, were good and I’m in no doubt that Boris will steal their ideas......

Watch the documentary, educate yourself, it will show you where it all started under Thatcher in the 80's and how the 2012 Health and Social care act opened the door to mass privatisation on a scale never seen before and 5 more years of Tory government will continue the escalation of making patients being treated as customers to be shipped in and shipped out as fast as possible to make profits.

Labour PFI scheme built some hospitals on HP basically and it was a poor deal, we all still benefited from using them and still do today.
