The Tory way of governance

Nicky Morgan stood up to May and look what happened to her. Not even invited to a meeting that she should have been invited to.

If only the Tories would do this.

It would solve a lot of the UK's financial problems, and specifically the NHS.

Meanwhile, in Scotland, squirming Ruth Davidson is left 'impaled' trying to defend the indefensible: -

NHS in crisis, benefit cuts, tax credit cuts , I receive a photograph of the labour leader wearing a baseball cap inspecting a train loo. I give up.

So sad that that's all you notice, Annie.

Not sad I noticed Jen, frightening that the Labour Party has such a damn useless leader.

Terrible that labour councils feel they have to do this. They are giving them 24 hours to accept the move. If they do not accept, they are said to be making themselves intentionally homeless.
It can't be right.

And Brent has three labour MP's yes?

Your point is?

My point is - there are three labour MP's in Brent

What do you expect labour MPs to do against a government that is intent on making poor people homeless?

Labour MPs don't run the councils, they can only try to exert influence.

May assumes too much if she thinks that her so called "Easter Message" will convince the UK to unit. Her party ensured that the country was totally split from top to bottom and between countries. What a feat that is in 10 short years. They have forced austerity on the poorest, brought the NHS to its knees, and there is crises in society everywhere you look.

Everyone can unite apart from those I set apart by setting up grammar schools. Good message of unity there.

Just read today that the school fees for Shrewsbury School are £33,750. Parents who send their kids there are really wanting to unite with the ordinary working family.
My sons went there once.

Went for one day ?

So it is not labour councillors who are forcing people from their homes ?

Good news for the Labour party, and Corbyn.

Annie, Corbyn inspected the train loo in a factory where they make trains. I would have thought you were all for jobs in manufacturing, just like Corbyn.

DJ these policies may have initial support but I doubt they will get much traction in the long run. A rise in the top rate won't collect much if any additional tax, and universal free school meals will fritter away a lot of money for the benefit of people that don't need it. The increase in the minimum wage to £10 probably won't be much more than under the Tories by the time we get to the next election. More telling are the polls which put the Tories up to 21 points ahead of Labour in terms of voting intentions.

Yes, I saw that in the news today Fitzy. You wouldn't think it from the posts on here, would you?

Also, even among Labour voters May is more popular than Corbyn.

I saw that, amazing isn't it? such is the popularity of JC, ahem!

"The polls add that Mr Corbyn being associated with a policy is less toxic than some observers have predicted, claiming that association with the Labour leader has little impact on the public’s perceptions of the party’s policy agenda. For example, 71 per cent of adults agree with the minimum wage policy attributed to Labour, compared to 68 per cent who agree with the policy attributed to Jeremy Corbyn."

It's a shame that some of you cannot manage to reada whole article.
Never mind.

I don't mind - at all! What an old crabbit you are, durhamjen!
