Quite funny!

Identity politics, because you don't signal like them, you are not one of them and therefore the enemy.

Urgh what an awful piece of apologist crap!

"My friend... if the allegations are true..." allegations? He admitted it!

She should be ashamed. But I was thinking more about the prominent Labour politicians who publicly vilified the Tory transgressors while publicly supporting the Labour ones.

I'll cross Amanda Platell off my Christmas card list. She has a history of such blatant crass hypocrisy, e.g. (forgive me for linking to the Huff)

Government is just a civil service blob with their dead-at-arrival policy units and an almost bottomless pit of our money to waste. Almost no semblance of any principals amongst them, which is not surprising as most of them have never had a real job outside government.

We are not going to get good governance until we drain our swamp.

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.

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.

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.

HTH BIDI

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

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.
