    And in other news, you do realise that they have taken gullible out of the dictionary?

    If he said that those new taxes come in for next 3-5 years, or just said honestly that more money needed from those who got, rather than peddling this lie about "archaic" regime and (most pissing me off) that he cut down corp tax, so now he takes it back (more than he cut it down), ffs what a double faced piece of tulip he is!

    Compare how much notice he gave BTL folk with gradual withdrawal of completely bonkers tax subsidy with increase in tax on dividends, only worse would have been to put up dividends tax on the same day of budget.
    Well his second name is Gideon which means "Destroyer," "Mighty warrior," or "Feller (of trees)", take your choice

    Ban recruitment agencies from hiring only from overseas.

    Crack down on rogue recruitment agencies by extending the remit of the Gangmasters Licensing Authority where there is evidence of abuse.
    Couldn't see that in the Tory one....

    If there is a God, please make Corbyn win this leadership contest.

    What's that God? Yes I know he is a ******* idiot, but think of the laughs.

    Policy failures don't matter. Getting elected matters, and you don't get elected by looking like you are just the same as the other guy.

    You may jest but I have paid my £3 and he will get mine. Cooper and burnham are Ed continuation candidates, they can't see what went wrong.

    That £3 should then give me true entertainment Corbyn or someone I could almost vote for Kendall

    It will cement them firmly into second place. And as we all know, in politics in particular, second is just the first loser.

    He'll move Labour back to the left and make a clear distinction between them and the Conservatives. That's largely how the SNP did so well in Scotland. A clear platform that differentiated them from the Conservatives and actually gave people a clear choice, not just a bunch of confused ideas that were not much different from anyone elses that left peolpe unclear what they were actually voting for.
