Unfortunately Hank, Sunderland is traditionally Labour, so anything but an absolute landslide on a poll like this is bad for Labour in general across the country in my opinion. They need to start winning seats back in Scotland to win a majority again I think.
On a serious note by the look of things on here the country is broke and well and truly up the swanny under the conservatives so where is Jeremy getting all the money to do everything he’s promising?
Voted lib dem in the poll, its the only realistic alternative to the sitting tory mp in my constituency, not fused with either party but can't have that useless twat winning round here again
Well he's not spending the £20bn on cutting taxes for rich people that the Conservatives are planning so that's a start. Taxing the richest 5% more and increasing Corporation tax will also be important. There are plenty of economic models that suggest spending your way out of a recession is actually the best way to stimulate the economy. Putting higher wages in the pockets of the poorer people increases their spending power and helps the economy grow. But most importantly, after the Conservatives proving for 10 years that they can't turn the country around, why would you want to let them have another 5 years at it?
How do you feed the people using the food banks?... Corbyns idea is to tax the rich more. What that will actually do, is drive the rich out of country, and stave off new potential investors. Once the investors and the billionaires have gone, so will the millions of jobs that they provide for the people of this country. And when the jobs go, guess what?... More people on food banks. What a fantastic plan.
I am no Tory but if as said they cannot turn the economy around you need to ask, who ****ed it in the first place? I won't vote for Corby McDonnell Abbott and Lammy...be better off with Tinky Winky, Lala , Po and the other one .
So when you accused rooch 3 on here about reading newspapers that’s exactly what you’ve done yourself, smacks of being alright for one and not for the other
I was going to vote Lib Dem but having read the Lyle Taylor thread over the road now I’m staunch Labour. The fact the Tories have managed to gaslight people from one of the poorest cities in the country into thinking they should be the ones to bear the tax burden is utterly ridiculous and I’m ashamed that some people from Sunderland think that way.
Seen the news today mate labour have paid no tax on the £650,000 profit on there properties but just say they pay what they have to, shame you haven’t realised yet the whole lot of them are a bunch of twats
I still think working class Tory scum voters are worse than normal Tory scum I dont particularly like JC but I'd rather him in charge Than buffoon Boris Never ever trusted the lib dems under fraud clegg
As a Labour supporter I will probably vote for them... as I think Bonko is awful and the current scottish libdem leader is a liar. However I do not like Corbyn... and I reckon a lot of voters in labour held areas will hold their noses and vote Farage
I’ve just read the story and it’s a complete non story. They paid no tax because there’s £1.7 million of losses from previous years to carry forward. It’s literally written in law that you can reduce profits in future years using losses made in earlier years.
