I know, but I doubt they congratulating them on a good campaign.
You seem to be unable to differentiate between negotiating with the IRA and supporting them.
Would you like me to explain it to you?

What I do see is the right wing media and Tories, trying to use last weeks outrage to drag up something from years ago to deflect from the day to day issues and their disaster of a manifesto.

What I saw was Corbyn immediately use the Manchester outrage to blame it on the Government's foreign policy and supposed cuts to policing, when all experts will tell you the two do not equate.

People are more concerned about the NHS

I must not be the only one who is sick to the back teeth of hearing about the NHS, a behemoth of a bottomless money pit, that if you gave it the entire nations GDP it still wouldn't be enough. Hard choices and difficult changes are needed in the NHS, it is unsustainable and more money is not the answer.
Again somebody has to pay for it. If you have the assets to contribute then you should. I thought the policy was a fine example of socialism in action. The Richest pay. Don't understand why Labour are against it.
Haven't read either party's policy on this, no doubt both will promise to build more houses. As some whose partner works in the housing industry, it's less about money from central govt and more about getting the local authorities to approve schemes. The LA's moan, but they are full of nimby-ists.
We all know socialism is the politics of envy, unless it's those with their noses in the trough helping themselves. Do as I say not as I do is the mantra of the metropolitan liberal elite labourites.
I'm all for lower tuition fees, and grants. But there needs to be a rebalancing in regards to who goes to university and what they study.
Subjects should be graded, e.g. STEM subjects, Medical subjects should be highly subsidised, degrees. Arts degrees should be charged higher.
Back in the 80's only 3-5% of the population had a degree, now upwards of 25% of kids want to go to uni, it's not sustainable to fund it all. To accommodate this increase there has been a rise in sub-standard colleges and sub-standard degrees.

The mud slinging and name calling isn't working, only 6 points between the parties in the latest poll this morning. That's a record increase for a party during a campaign, the more both parties are exposed without media bias the closer they get.

Still can't see anything but a Tory win. Labour won't do as bad as predicted.
