Haven't I heard that somewhere before?

[WTFH]

It's Stalinist when Milliband does it, when May nicks the same policy it's a brave new world. What a farce.

and it's not the first time:

If further example was needed, it is not the government or the people that control this country. What a truly great democracy.

Also Red ED is such a stupid nick-name for a Labour leader.

Some of TM's policies really are quite left-wing, maybe it's a ploy to neutralise Corbyn's ability to criticise policies he actually approves

Seems like politicians of all colours are hell bent on turning the whole of southern England into one giant slab of concrete and tarmac, like eastern Japan.

It's pitiful and shameful that a supposedly advanced economy like the UK should be relying on this "poor man's" stimulus to growth.

If the Tories take the centre and left ground, then Labour has to move further to the left. As the UK electorate is generally full of centralists that means Labour will never win.

However if you bother to look at the small print May's housing policy has no teeth so will achieve SFA. For example It is easy for a developer to merge with another so it isn't the same as the old company that land banked hence getting round the planning restrictions.

These are the policies of the LibLabCon. High immigration, wealthy land owners, and high house prices to increase interest payments to the banking elite. Keep the proles as debt slaves.

Doesn't the Left do just the same? Brendan Cox - sex pest - has begun his journey of repentance, and the left stood behind his bravery. Similarly Jared O'Mara. OTOH, Toby Young, Damien Green, Michael Fallon were simply hounded out.
