Current Affairs The Labour Party

Maybe Corbyn could have a word with the Venuzuelans and ask them not to drive tanks at their own people?

Getting run over by armoured vehicles is a true sign of living in a workers paradise, just ask the people of Budapest and Prague.

Corbyn himself comes across pretty decently (train gaffe aside) for most observers, but if the best he can do is to appoint the likes of Abbott & McDonnell then they are doomed not just to lose this election heavily, but to consign themselves to years in the political wilderness.

And people who write off Boris as an incompetent baffoon really have no clue.. he's one of the most astute politicians who knows that his scruffy hair and outward bumbling style are actually a part of his charm and the reason why people feel he is relatable.

Quite an interesting shortie.. gives you an idea of where Labour needs to be to where it currently is...

Didn't really make me like either of them in that video.

I'd like to say a big thank you to all the trade unionists that decided to ruin the Labour party. Well done.

That's not really fair, I'm pretty sure a large amount of Corbyn's core supporters are not trade unionists.

There's going to be a big split in Labour after next month's hammering.

I wouldn't mind if they were being beaten by a dynamic visionary force.

The sad thing is there was never a time when a Labour government was more badly needed.

How is someone who wants a fairer society for all, having those who can pay more tax pay more to help those less fortunate, ensure our nhs isn't sold off to the private sector, want to raise standards of living ruining the Labour party? If you are a labour supporter surely you want those things too right?

Corbyn isn't liked by a lot of his party because he shows them up as he is more to the true roots of labour then most of them are.

Could you stop peddling that myth please?

No because it's not a myth. They have already outsourced parts of the nhs to virgincare in the South West.

It's alresdy happening.

outsourced is not selling it off. If labour felt so strongly about it why didn't they reverse it when they were in power? In fact, why did they introduce the internal markets to the NHS leading to some ridiculous figures being paid for services? Why aren't they looking at the abuse of the 'bank' system by 'part time' nurses?

I'm sorry, but that's misunderstanding the health system.

Outsourced is the start of the privatisation process we both know it. It's why the government underfund the nhs in real terms because they want it to fail to give them the excuse.

Different labour party that was in power then and won't try and defend what they have done, I care about a fully funded fit for purpose nhs moving forward that isn't privatised or people need health insurance to access.

 

[ashwuk76]

Is it? Are parts of the nhs currently been done by a private firm? Yes. A private firm is only concerned with making a profit not providing a decent health care service.

That's still a podium!
