General Election June 8th

He's a very charming man.

Good schooling as well.

I like Gyles. I wouldn't have a bad word for the Westminster Wankers if we had 650 Brandreths filling in the bloated expense sheets.

Well just over 12 hrs till the polls open is there any real incling if you constituency will change hands.


Heard today Ivan Lewis could lose his seat in bury south, but bury north could swing from blue to red.
Here in gorton the libs seem to have given up and are putting everything behind winning whithington instead.

Hopefully they spell the name right.

I know you're not a fool, that body swerve was well executed, but it was a strawman and you know it.

The single biggest factor by a country mile likely to dictate a persons life chances are the circumstances of their birth, and these last few decades it has got worse.

The right wing might play divide and rule and noises off, as you're doing, but the elephant in the room will not go away. The bank of mum and dad will lend their children £6.5bn this year.

If you're not born to parents who are members of the bank of mum and dad, tough luck pal, you're on your own.

Only because you've personalised that to me and the fact I had no bank of mum and dad, I'm going to say that I don't agree.

Although if you're saying there was a greater level of social mobility when there were more grammar school then I'd agree. Is that what you're saying?

However knowing the left, are you suggesting taxing the bank of mum and dad? May as well. Won't affect said bin man from earlier.

They are, sort of, by abolishing the married persons tax allowance.

It will if you take the money and build a council house.

Quality post there pal. Punctuation, spelling, weight of argument. You're doing Labour proud.

I am not sure I agree with they above, but in any event, the reality is that most people are greedy. Irrespective of political allegiances.

It's apparently dreadful to be well off and to wish to do the best for yourself and your family. But if you are less well off, this is perfectly fine, admirable even.

Just look at the 10,000 who turned up in Gateshead. What are they campaigning for? More money for themselves. Directly in terms of pay and pay rises, and indirectly in terms of benefits - schools, policing, NHS etc - that they want other people to pay for.

I wonder how many of the 10,000 were very wealthy or even moderately wealthy and welcoming paying more tax out of principle? If it's more than 1% of the crowd, I'd be astonished. 99% are there to seek a better deal for themselves, and that is their prime motivation. Not some noble egalitarian principle.

And you know this how ?
