You been on the wine halcyon..

As opposed to many on here who are slightly to the left og Genghis Khan.

halcyon days

why not David Miliband ?  Far more intelligent than his brother, and more to the right !


wakey wakey,

you are only 3 hours late compared to me being 12 minutes late earlier

Sorry info, been in the garden all day... never read your thread !

The centre's boring sparrow...  unless you're Christian Benteke !

sparrow Genghis Khan was probably one of the greatest Warriors ever..

In the day if you held views to the left of him you would have been sliced and diced..

On the other hand sparrow you that hold a political view that is slightly left of Bono are feted...

Not sure that you are a fully functioning individual sparrow..

Read that again - the dog biscuit that is bono is not my hero...

WHERE DO THEY GET THEM FROM..

And that pacifist Atlee the founder of all known scroungers was a well known half wit that has saddled us with an NHS that has become too hot to handle..

Its not a new leader they need, they have to understand, that the Robin Hood, policy of taking from the so called 'rich', and please define what is 'rich', and giving to the so called 'poor', who have iphones,ipads, sky tv, xboxes, and have never done and have no intentions of doing a days work, simply dont cut it with a huge number of people.

As opposed to a reverse Robin Hood and taking from the poor and giving to the rich?

And who told you the poor have iphones, ipads, sky tv and xboxes, The Sun newspaper?

A mansion tax on houses worth £2m plus, a top rate of 50% tax and an energy price freeze and some people were wetting themselves as if Miliband was a fking communist.

Labour are now banging on about being on the side of 'aspiration'. Are people out there really against a mansion tax just because they would love to have mansion? Is the aspiration really so attractive that people are willing to basically side with the 0.1% who are fking as all over? Are good, accessible public services no longer an aspiration? I read somebody in the paper today form Helensburgh (near Faslane) saying he voted Tory as a tactical vote due to the SNP policy of scrapping Trident. He was only worried about negative fking equity. Didn't care about the £100bn. Didn't care if they were needed. Didn't care about the number of people that would be vaporised if we used them. He only cared about the value of his fking house. Is that what we have become?

Wages haven't risen in line with productivity in 30 years. The idea of 'getting on' is a fantasy for many. The wealth concentration is obscene and cannot continue. The acceleration of this through QE is mindblowing. Nevermind any of that. Nevermind that the top 1% have nearly half the wealth but pay 25% of the income tax. Nevermind the tax taken from corporations has plummeted relative to what individuals pay. Nevermind that the only hope of being hit with the mansion tax is a lottery win - somebody down the road doesn't work and has an ipad. Fk me.

Good point john. Not many people realise the top 1% pay 25% of the income tax.

I would gladly pay the mansion tax knowing that I was in a financial position to even be asked to, not that I actually need to be living in a £2m mansion in the first place but you can bet your life the very same people like Mylene Klass (net worth estimated at £11m, who laughably tried to suggest it would hit little old grannies who just happened to live in a property worth £2m) are the very same people who support the bedroom tax, which hits people far more unlikely to be able to afford to pay it than the 100,000 or so owned households worth £2m and above, who can easily afford it.

People like for example the CEO of Centrica/British Gas Iain Conn (aptly named there too) where they choose at 4:00PM on election day to release to the press that he has just been awarded a £2.4m bonus on top of his you can bet already substantial salary, for doing a job that basically consists of sacking staff, hiking prices and giving pensioners hypothermia. It wouldn't even be so bad if it was his own company that he started and built up himself but that was all done anyway with the use of taxpayers money before sold off at an undervalued share price by Margaret Thatcher.

Oh and I know somebody who doesn't work but owns an iPad but he bought it when previously working, having been made redundant by Shell after working there for 17 years and again by FedEx after 13 years and was then told he was only entitled to a pittance of something like £12 pw in benefits, due to having a pension from Shell, a pension that was basically his own money he paid into anyway.

The answer to the OP's question is Liz Kendall.

seriously?

I vote for dianne abbot and lammie as president and vice

ABBOT and LAMMY?

FFS, has to be a parody account…

Starmer has created a second Tory party. Emphasised by the defections and expectation that Tory voters will switch to Labour. Problems down the line with those who actually remember the original version. Doubt Starmer can suppress them all.

They are voting Reform out of desperation having got it wrong for 14 years.

Agree Reg sadly and in our area, Libdems will get a few seats purely because voters don't like Conservative or Labour.

Tessa is the only one any of our area have heard of. All of the others were unknown until a week ago and I still have no idea of their backgrounds. Good luck in Bridgwater.
