Corbyn - Stop dropping bombs in the middle east and fully fund our police and security forces to deal with any domestic threats. Scrap bedroom tax, scrap tuition fees, decent wages for Nurses and free training. Why would you vote against that?

What's the alternative? More police cuts, 24 A+E's earmarked for closure, pay for your own social care, tax cuts for the wealthy,social security cuts for the British Public, students coming out of UNI in debt just for wanting an Education, more zero hour exploitation, Kill foxes and scrap laws protecting Elephant ivory, Continue to sell weapons to Islamic regimes and sell off what's left of our public services to foreign investors.

 

Wow tough choice isn't it.

 

This x 100.

Lots of those things would be lovely. Sadly they want to pay for it with the highest peacetime tax raid. And still they won't be able to afford it.

 

They and I don't want to be passed by someone who capitulates to terrorism.

If Jeremy corbyn ever gets on to power. The job losses would be humongous. The interest rates would spiral out of control.

 

Just look at the nervousness on the markets and the drop off the pound.

I thought Corbyn was unelectable, I thought he was a poor leader. However as the election campaign develops, there is no question that Corbyn is demonstrating he is a much more rounded politician than automaton May. When he talks, he is actually in touch with the feelings associated with his words.

Theresa May is anything but strong and stable. She was so far ahead in the polls she thought she could get away with shafting working and middle class families by snatching their children's inheritance to pay for social care. The moment her ratings took a nose dive she U-turned. If she was truly passionate about the policy, she would stick to her convictions, not bring in a cap and then argue that black was white that the manifesto pledge had not changed

Theresa May's words are not in touch with her feelings, her words are in touch with 'being on message'. She is obsessed with damaging Jeremy Corbyn, because when she looks too deeply at the conservative record and their policies, there is much to cover up. Since 2010, the following has happened

(1) The overall tax burden as a % of GDP is the highest it has been for thirty years. Higher than in the mid-seventies. All the Tories have done is shift taxation from income tax to taxes on spending and increased it.

(2) You will love this one - The conservative party have spent more and paid less back into the treasury, over any period you wish to look at, despite the myth of labour profligacy and conservative prudence. http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2016/03/13/the-conservatives-have-been-the-biggest-borrowers-over-the-last-70-years/

(3) Collapse in the number of Employment tribunal claims since the fee to bring a claim has increased from £200 to over £1,000. (only 1% of 54,000 pregnant women who have been unfairly dismissed have claimed at a tribunal)

(4) Just about managing working families have lost on average £2,000 per year in tax credits cuts. Corporation tax cut to 19%. The lowest of the 'wealthy' EU states.

(5) Social Care - 40% cuts to Local Authority budgets.

(6) NHS - Real term cut in funding

(7) Real term cut in education spending

(8) Employment rights eroding away. The Tories have increased the time to two years before an employee can bring a claim. A refusal to regulate against zero hour contracts, when this is one of the single biggest causes of poverty and reliance on food banks

(9) An exponential increase in the use of food banks.

(10) A social security system that makes a concerted effort to make it difficult to claim. A sanctions system that is aimed at saving money, not helping the unemployed get back into work.

These ten points are the tip of the iceberg. If we want a cohesive and fair society, that will not result in economic collapse (stop believing the tory bull**** on labours record (see point 2 above)), then there is only one person and party to vote for. Vote Corbyn. Vote Labour.

just watched the andrew neil program with corbyn

 

that is why he will not be our PM. decent sound bites and slogans. Horrendous when the surface is scratched

 

I thought he come across a lot better than May.

 

Doesn't stand a cat in hells chance of winning though, he lost any slight chance of making inroads when this Manchester thing happened. Security is now a bigger issue and his IRA thing and perceived passivism won't sit well with the electorate. Labour will get a right kicking.

Trouble is, with the increases in corporation and income taxes he wants to introduce, all the high earners and successful companies will f*** off abroad, leaving no money for his fantasy reforms. D'oh!

Deranged. I've never said he hasn't met people from the IRA. Hundreds of people did. I've also never said he'll win. The BBC and the media billionaires have been working on that solidly for 2 years.

If you can't see their constant bias you must be deeply bias yourself.

it is because he is an idiot

the BBC and the rich are not making up his IRA love or his blocking of anti-terror legislation over 50 times. or his disdain for Nato. or his choice of absolute weirdos on the front bench

Quite funny though to see the brexiters here moaning about high taxes driving the bankers away, when the same bankers have said Brexit will drive them away. Sounds like you just want any flimsy excuse to attack the costed labour manifesto.

What he's "blithering" about is Corbyn's claim in the Andrew Neil interview that he'd never met the IRA.

 

Whether he was being disingenuous or lying depends on your political persuasion

I expect Corbyn means he didn't attend secret little meetings where he plotted the death of his own constituents' children and gave them bomb making tips.

So you admit there is" bias." Amazed you have these links, are you a fan of order-order.com too?

 

You realise there is such a thing as Google right? Not difficult to find.

 

I've been a Guardian reader all my life but also follow people like Guido on Twitter too. Because there's a plurality of opinion in the world, not the dinlow echo chamber you live in.

 

The BBC gets accusations of bias from both sides, which kind of makes you look like something of a plank again, doesn't it?

Ok, that must be it. Silly me, I thought the words " I didn't meet the IRA" meant he didn't meet them. I didn't realise that it actually means he didn't plan a bombing campaign with them.

Accusation of bias doesn't mean that at certain periods it's bias doesn't lean way or another through the years.

See I can use Google too:

That's what you right wingers obsession is all about though isn't it? It all boils down to a twisted implication that socialists somehow how hate the country (even more than Ed Miliband's father, and his cat did) and somehow would want all invading armies to be let in. It seems to go back to the language of the cold war and beyond, the paranoia of the communist enemy within.

He always does.

This one seems to be a proper academic article from the London school of economics:

LSE founded by the Fabian society and a long history of being a left wing institution? That London School of Economics? That one?

 

Stop blubbering and own it. He's your leader and he will succeed or fail on his own merits. Which are none because he has no merit because he is a blithering useless cu nt.

What are you waffling on about?

 

It was a very simple point. Did he meet the IRA, he said he didn't. You clarified this denial by stating that "didn't meet" actually means didn't get involved with planning their bombing operations. It's got nothing to do with the pony you wrote.

One doesn't need Google to know the LSE was founded by Fabians and is well established as a left wing institution. It's called being knowledge sweetheart.
