    A Tory party full of infighting containing those "bastards" lead by John Major? A Tory party lead by Tory Boy "I drink 20 pints " William Hague? A Tory party lead by "something of the night" Michael Howard?

    Remember voter turnout decreased from 1997 with a low point in 2001.
    I thought it was up to 14 pints. Get your facts right.

      I'm all for benefits reform.

      But I would like to see the big corporates and super rich pay more taxes so that we can have more police on the street to fight terrorism, more teachers so that class sizes are kept under 30, and more carers to wipe the arses of the dribbling boomers who have most of the money.
      According to Korbyn and his kronies, you are the super rich.

        Polly Toynbee hits the nail on the head.

        The gruadian

        The non-ruling Tory party is riven so deeply within itself on Brexit that it is ungovernable as well as unfit to govern. The meat of this parliament is contained in eight Brexit bills, covering everything from customs, trade, immigration and agriculture to fisheries and nuclear safety. The “great repeal bill” has lost its “great”. The genuinely great question is whether any contentious Brexit legislation can ever pass through this parliament and these Conservative MPs. This is the impasse parliament.
        Whatever you think about Corbyn, the Tories are simply unfit to govern.

        I'm alright Jack

          A lot will realise this if he gets into power. Free everything for everyone and if he can't collect enough tax he can always requisition stuff. Just remember kids all property is theft.

            Not according to my accountant.

            By super rich - I mean top 1%.

              It doesn't matter what you mean (in relation to this). It'll be Corbyn & McDonnell collecting the taxes.

                Regardless if it was more than 3 he was lying.

                  I'm happy to pay more IF they actually successfully get the fair and decent amount out of Multi National big corps, and the super rich driving around in white AMG Mercedes.

                    It was a friendly jest.

                      So you'll be paying more personal tax _and_ your share of the tax increase on the multinational corps, which they'll pass on entirely to their mug customers.

                      And Labour will still manage to piss away what little extra revenue this brings in (for short a while, before the megacorps work round it).
