Just watched it and it's very embarrassing considering she is the shadow education secretary. I'm sure all politicians are guilty of this at some point during interviews but this isn't doing Labour any favours whatsoever.

I agree but given abbotts performance only last week on this programme you think labour would make sure she has all the figures to hand. again - just whinging it.

a professional party would have all this managed and under control.
 
If you want to talk about unprepared have a look at Angela Raynor - the shadow education secretary, doing a Dianne abbott this morning on the same radio station with the same presenter.
Just listened to it.

"I don't know the exact figures of how many children this will effect and i'm not going to pluck a number out of thin air"


You're the Shadow Education Secretary, it's your JOB to know, especially if you are using class sizes as a means to persuade voters.
 
That's going to be news to people in Ireland.

Well - that there is talk starting in some quarters about whether Ireland should consider its future in the EU is a simple statement of fact.

I have in recent weeks come across a number of articles raising that question against the background of the impact of Brexit on the Irish economy

I know that there have been a number of pro-EU polls recently - but that is not what I was referring to

And to think they are going to produce a costed manifesto all in the space of a few weeks. Remember that the tax dodgers are paying for everything, I'm assuming Labour has an army of people right now investigating thousands of companies to ensure they arrive at the right figures...

Labours policies on anything involving economics make as much sense as raising corporation tax by 10% equals £500bn does. Corbyn even said the other day that after all of their spending they will STILL be reducing the deficit...

I like the bit about him giving the number to her and saying that is because he has prepared for the interview by making sure he had the figures to hand and, well, she , ......

So it's a trade question concerning Brexit then and fuck all to do with being contributors?

They're just so amatuerish, this 'shadow cabinet'.

I also noted towards the end her slightly aggressive tone when it came to Labour "being in power"! It's at the forefront of their mind, power, power, power, we want power. Not to govern, we want power over people.

She doesn't come across as someone I'd want teaching my child let alone someone that is in charge of the education system.

Although the same could have been said of Jeremy "homeopathy is useful" Hunt a few years back, but at least he doesn't actually sound thick I suppose.

No you are wrong on this and I am not sure why you are getting so exercised

Articles I have read recently were talking about the impacts of brexit on the Irish economy and how they could be so severe that Ireland will need to review whether it might be in their interest to leave the EU.

Certainly the fact that Ireland have just moved from being beneficiaries to contributors was raised in these articles.

Don't shoot the messenger - just a simple statement of fact and as I say I don't know why you have to get so exercised
 
I came across this and loved it and I thought I'd share with all the Tory lickspittles....

In May's world of extremist right wing myopia, moral bankruptcy, cognitive dissonance, stereotypes, hack clichés and intellectual mediocrity; her mendacity replaces truth and is made real - bankers are maligned victims not responsible for the "crash", and like the tory party are really benign philanthropists above self interest and duplicity, who are working for the benefit of the country. Corbyn's labour party wants to steal their "magic money tree," - which the tories stole from the people(along with the public assets) of this country, to give to their corporate pimps anyway.

Corbyn's Labour party is "left wing?!!" Who are responsible for the global economic recession, a stalking horse for Marxism, dupes of the unions and middle-class Islington lefties. Public sector workers are a fifth column with gold plated pensions who receive billions in bonuses, unlike bankers and corporate whores, who live in penury because they are overburdened with regulations, taxation, er!! When they choose to pay it. The NHS wants to kill you and private health care wants to cure you - money is a mere incidental, as long as you have it. The (castrated)unions are conspiratorial red masons who control the labour party and wish to bring about the destruction of our capitalist utopia. Modelling herself on Goebbels and the Mother of Christ, May is a much maligned compassionate mother of the nation blasphemed against by the left.

Exploitation by the tories, finance, business, landlords, is freedom(socialism for the rich): a more equitable society, well resourced universal NHS, welfare, education, public services, jobs with a living wage/employment rights and decent conditions is slavery.

Facts and statistics are flexible, 'Doublethink' is de rigueur, 'Newspeak' the official language with Murdoch the Daily Mail its loudest most vociferous voices and now the Guardian. '1984' is seen as an operating manual by the tories rather than a critique. The disabled, poor, sick, unemployed, the low paid are unproductive parasites, surplus to requirements in a world divided between "scroungers and strivers." Western Europe, the EU and particularly France(the perfidious Johnny foreigner) is a hotbed of indolent communists who are jealous of our neo liberal paradise.

The tories are nothing more than verminous, parasitic, sociopathic trash. Reductive whores of Social Darwinist, voodoo economics, who wish to reduce every aspect of humanity to mere units of production, they despise ordinary people and see their only value, as an entry in a profit and loss account, to be exploited by the human garbage that this sub-strata of humanity are, and the workhouse capitalism they serve.

There exists for right wing tory dupes a neo-liberal dystopian holy grail; a kind of Somalia with fish and chips, vindaloo, obesity and better drainage; ruled by neo liberal tory warlords, Blairite kapos, Ayn Rand inspired gangsters, funded by London stock exchange parasites, with UKIP as the Sturm Abteilung (SA). Remember the fascist war cry as they went into battle against Republican troops during the Spanish Civil War? "Death to the intellect! Long live death!". How appropriate?!! Maybe May could work that into a revised tory version of 'Land of Hope and Glory.'
