Good for you...

Corbyn, patriotic!!!!...You sure?
With regard to the poor and vulnerable. What Labour tend to do is increase everyone's tax in order to increase benefits and reward the feckless. They do it every time, without fail, while those who should receive the assistance. Get jack ****. Which is one reason why Labour bankrupt the nation each and every time they are in power.
Saying you won’t vote Labour because of JC is like saying you won’t have an operation etc.....No relevance whatsoever
Voting Conservative because you don’t like JC is like.... FYI I've never voted Tory and won't be on Thursday.​
ps. What is MSM? You keep referring to it but I've no idea what it is.

MSM is where you get your views.

Labour don’t bankrupt the country the MSM just tell you they do.

We now have a National Debt over double what it was 9 years ago. Before the bankers crashed the economy it was in check & fine. £1trillion has gone missing from the economy since 2010. I’d like to know where it’s gone. The MSM don’t want us to know.

JC is more patriotic than all other Party Leaders. He loves the Country & the people who are part of it. I’ve heard him talk about it with a passion Swindon & Johnson haven’t got. I’m sure. If you listen to him it comes across very clearly. He cares passionately about the people, their jobs, their well being, their health, their opportunities, their futures. It’s the MSM that tell you otherwise,

Labour’s tax Plans are clear & open, costed & backed by 160 leading economists its the MSM that tell you otherwise.

The MSM don’t pay their taxes, either as individuals or as businesses,

The sad thing about this thread it's barely been mention.

But 1.6m food parcels have given out this year and that 14m people are poverty and 300k people homeless in the 6th richest country. But the last 10 years the richest 1000 people in the UK have seen there wealth rise by over 300%.

But politics of envy eh...

That's just so wrong on so many levels Steven.I have absolutely no problem with people earning in excess of £81k,in the vast majority of cases they've earned the right to that kind of salary.For example hospital consultants/dentists etc put themselves through years of financial hardship to attain the relative qualifications,so why should they be penalised in taxes? As for your Tarquin/Bransholme comment? This isn't class warfare and isn't really necessary!!

As long as you see tax as “being penalised” you’ll never understand.

Why do they get it?

Liam Byrne's note, while massively unhelpful to Labour, was a tradition and, perhaps more importantly, a joke. All chancellors do it, it stretches back to the times of Churchill. It isn't the burning point you think it is.

I fail to see why the date the NHS was set up is pertinent to the discussion.

Fair point.
Because harping on about something which occurred 71 years ago, is a bit desperate. I heard JC try this line on Friday night. I get the feeling people want to know what'is going to happen, not what happened. Which is a bit like some of Labours backward thinking.

I think the true figure is 3 million homeless and 4 million food parcels a week. Happy to oblige on the statistics of it all.

I was referring to all newspapers regardless of who they are targeting.

It is smearing if the intent is to damage the target's chances of winning whatever they're running for.

Here is a classic example. Same year, same newspaper, same policy.

Same sort of thing in the Guardian, Independent and Mirror. So?

Nothing wrong with tax. Don’t see why earning above a certain amount means you pay a higher rate though. You are paying more tax if you earn £85,000 than if you earn £25,000. It just fuels higher wage demands,

<laugh> Good one. Must've taken a while to think that up.


Fancy posting anything positive about the Tories without mentioning Corbyn yet?

Or will anything you say be too complicated for us gullible young people to understand?
 
Anyone else sick of the disproportionate coverage the SNP get? Why is Sturgeon given equal airtime to the main parties? Yorkshire has the same population as Scotland yet no one speaks for the North of England? I'd like to know what extra investment the Northern Powerhouse is getting?

Number of MPs?
Ironically she isn't even an MP.
 
There are more homeless in Brent, North London than people who live there officially. Must be true because their MP said so. “ You can’t walk down the street without tripping over them.” The figure of homelessness in this borough alone is 85,000.

If you’d said Farage’s Lot or to some extent Swinsons lot I may agree but the SNP are the 3rd largest Party in respect of MPs
