Really??!! :confused:

Just the other day I heard Dianne Abbott on LBC's afternoon show with Shelagh Fogarty claiming that they'd just held a wonderful shadow cabinet meeting and the highlight was Tom Watson's motivational speech on the importance of unity within the party...

:rofl:

In a move which may disappoint some on here, Theresa May has ruled committing to keeping the state pension’s “triple lock”. Jeremy Corbyn confirmed Labour would retain it. annually.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7702721.html

and rightly so people need to know what makes him tick

Re: June 8th General Election
 

I think she's refused to commit to the triple lock :erm:.

Re: June 8th General Election
 

The triple lock is rubbish policy anyway. I am guessing with the state of the opposition and the scale of their impending victory they're confident enough to give themselves more leeway on the budget.

Re: June 8th General Election
 

I think a lot of pensioners would forego the percentage increase if it meant those in public service, who have had pay freezes for years, would benefit; such is the altruism of our senior citizens. A double-lock would suffice anyway.

Re: June 8th General Election
 

ludicrous policy; it meant one section of society wasn't 'all in it together' with the rest of us ! Also the chancellor, wisely, wants to be able to raise taxes, which he's going to have to since the debacle of the national insurance climb down. They sound confident ( too confident ;) )

However the announcement on diesel cars has been postponed till after the election, wonder why ? 'Purdah' my backside !

ohh heck the partys full of them - lets hope there are no homophobes in the party that need sacking
Liberal Democrats
Tim Farron sacks Lib Dem candidate for 'offensive and antisemitic' remarks
Party leader bars former MP David Ward from standing in Bradford East because he is ‘unfit to represent the party’


The Liberal Democrats have barred the former Bradford East MP David Ward from standing again for the party, after Tim Farron said his comments about Jews had been “deeply offensive, wrong and antisemitic”.

Ward’s local party had chosen him to stand in Bradford East, the seat he held from 2010 until 2015 when he was ousted by Labour, but after criticism from Theresa May in the House of Commons and a meeting of senior Lib Dem officials, Farron said: “I believe in a politics that is open, tolerant and united. David Ward is unfit to represent the party and I have sacked him.”

A serious case of hypocrisy.

Re: June 8th General Election
 

Agreed; a Christian cannot deny the teaching of the Bible. But the Bible also teaches that God loves the person committing the sin; it’s the sin God hates, and he wants everyone, with His help, to turn away from those sins and find forgiveness through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.

Given that, Christians have the right to say what the Bible teaches about Homosexuality (or any other sin) but they have no right, whatsoever, to express any form of hate towards people practising Homosexuality. After all, Christians are also sinners, saved by the grace of God through faith in Jesus.

Oh dear, seems the Govt. will have to tell diesel drivers the unpleasant truth before the election. Unless they can find some other legal loophole/excuse to delay the bad news. The courts seem to be providing the only opposition to the Govt. these days.

Re: June 8th General Election
 

Presumably all the parties will have to put forward a strategy of dealing with this problem and they'll all be unpopular with diesel owners :shrug:

Re: June 8th General Election
 

It's more the act of trying a hide a major policy decision which is going to affect a large section of the population until after the election. Unsubtle and beneath contempt. They are taking the electorate for muppets.
