An MP with some principles, a rare thing. He's seeing further than the next election, which is all most of them are interested in.

Have you seen the catastrophic state of public services nowadays, open your eyes as it might enlighten you.

Unfortunately people only open their eyes when they or their family need those public services

It's all very well going on about the government's poor record.
But you lefties dodge any substance as to whether or not Labour can do any better.

So far as I can see, their flagship policy is VAT on private schools and they've allocated the funds they think they'll get to other educational spend. We all know what's going to happen - non-rich people who beggar themselves to put their kids into private school will have to go back to state schools, adding to government cost and smashing their stupid projections into vapour.

Labour will not be good for the country. Yet, I fear, that's what will happen.
