That woman's journey fascinates me.

Corbyn must love the woman. But incredibly she gets to be a councillor after being a member of that outfit, cross party scoundrels who do anything for power.

 

[SWP's back]

How come so many are living in poverty?

Because poverty is now defined as not being able to go on a foreign holiday or take your kids to the cinema as opposed to feed and clothe oneself.

I'm putting party politics to one side; I'm talking about her journey. Absolutely incredible. She talks so frankly about her former life. Doesn't try to justify or dramatise it. I find that admirable. People can change.

We all have a different way of looking at the world, mate. There's no right or wrong way to do that.

Which is exactly right.

Relative poverty based on median household income is only non-stupid way of defining poverty.

Otherwise we'd be saying that having 1 potato means you're not in poverty like the 1300s.

If you had a potato in the 1300s, you were on a different continent.
