General consensus would be Abbott will go in the next reshuffle. Do you guys think that as well? Will cement my vote if it was confirmed.

Without a doubt. Besides, the only way Corbyn can be PM is via a coalition so they could use that as an excuse to dump her.

I see labour are going to scrap the married persons tax allowance.

Think labour scrapped it last time, good tax should be on individuals , couples living together should pay the same tax as a married couple. Tax isnt for social engineering

just looked it up on - predictably - the Mail and Telegraph - it amounts to £4,42 per week less in tax relief if you take the £230pa net figure. The Mail makes more of the lowering of inheritance tax thresholds - coz obviously that hits the wealthy.

It has to be said its odd its taken so long for serious journalists to find this - maybe doing proper research rather than just mudslinging could catch on in the press and secondly it is in the Funding Document.............. May won't tell us who she is going to fuck over yet.

My concern would be that they have a long history and I'm not sure I would trust Corbyn to stab his mate in the back so to speak despite it being done to him several times.

Corbyn wants to give the elderly dignity, working people a wage they can live on and the young a free education to realise their potential. May wants to run through fields of wheat butchering foxes.

What he wants to give is fine and in a perfect world that'd be great, his problem which most of the left leaning side are ignoring is that he can't fucking fund it and is going to borrow borrow borrow to pay for it all.
It's always been the same with the Labour Party and will never ever change. Hopefully enough will see sense and accept we actually can't have our cake and eat it.


Apart from Yaya obviously.
