Closing all private schools is one - dont know anyone who really gives a shite on the subject in a negative way - Well I do all those people who want to give people a private education and it is their prerogative. We have hundreds of thousands at private schools and it would place huge pressure on the public sector
Getting rid of Trident. - not labour policy so not relevant - Corbyn wants it
A 32 hour working week! - a lot of businesses do this already we have a very diverse work pattern society - nonsense - who works 32 hours a week - utter shite
High Taxes on companies - as per firet one don't know anyone against this - higher taxes mean less investment and less growth = less taxes collected
Garden Tax - Never heeard of it - well read up on it then has been prominent on the news recently
Scrap prescription charges - A great policy and as it should be - hugely costly - so someone on millions should not pay for medicine? Can we afford this? Highly doubtful
Free movement of people. - not actually what has been proposed, but rights to people moving, residing and contributing here.
Right to buy - private housing tenants - aka theft - Actually it is siezing houses left dormant for years and reusing rather than them left to rot, again a good policy, don't buy a house of you don't want to use it. No it is not - Read Mcdonells recent comments
Hardly communism, and won't include starving the poorest, making people including ex servemen (600 last count) homeless and killing or driving to suicide the disabled or sick.
Apart form the fact most of what you have said is completely wrong - good effort

You said policy and your replies to my replies are your opinion on individuals opinion.
Not policy
On the two you did mention the pescriptions, the million comment is bollocks, the rich person will already have been taxed, a contribution which should fund free pescriptions .
Here is an example, Ventolin a much needed and used medicine for Asthma sufferers, all over the world it is pescription free to buy cost around £2.50 , here it is on pescription at £9.
I know that the NHS pays 76p to buy it but because other medicine can cost up to £16 to buy this much needed medicine is kept on the pescription list
It should not be for patients, payimg tax to prop up a fucked up drugs sysyem whre phamecutecals can charge ober the odds.
Labours stratergy to make these companies produce affordable medicines which the NHS can afford to buy would make pescriptions unecessary.
And I have seen the garden tax now, if your house is worth more you pay more? Not sure on that myself tbh not something I think that positively about, but it isn't policy atm and doubt it will be

With the current backstop in it?We would leave with May’s WA. We would call it the ‘Boris Deal’ but essentially it would be the same. The bulk of the Tory Party did vote for the WA. It was the lack of a majority that killed it. May knew she would have problems hence why she went to the country for a mandate and a big majority. We know how that ended up.

Johnson defeated afain in commons vote.
No recess for conference next week and his wednesday key speach will need to be re-arranged as he is asked to attend PMQs.
The fuckers are still coming to Manchester though as lobyist have paid for their tickets and tories don't want to lose the revenue.

So his brother couldn't stomach what he is doing neither can his sister,anyone blaming the female mp who was in the next constuncy(sp)to Jo Cox and is rightly fearing the death threat she gets needs to remove their heads from their arse,some things are just too much to use for point scoring,he is copying the orange **** across the pond,it is neither big or clever,they both have 24/7 protection so they don't give a shite,how has it come to this that these 2 are in charge
Rachel Johnson has said the language her brother - the prime minister - used at the dispatch box in the House of Commons was "tasteless".
Appearing on The Pledge to be aired on Sky News tonight, Ms Johnson, who has been a vocal opponent of her brother Boris Johnson over Britain leaving the EU, said he was wrong to suggest the best way to honour the memory of Jo Cox was to deliver Brexit.
The former candidate for The Independent Group for Change, was sharing her views on the changes in political language, after a fiery night in the Commons when parliament resumed on Wednesday.
Ms Johnson said: "A lot of this language was initiated in the tabloids, because we had [headlines] like 'crush the saboteurs', we had the judiciary and remain MPs being 'enemies of the people', words like collaborationist, betrayal.
"My brother is using words like 'surrender' and 'capitulation' as if the people standing in the way of the blessed will of the people, as defined by the 17.4 million votes in 2016, should be hung, drawn, quartered, tarred, and feathered.
"I think that is highly reprehensible.
"I hope today in the Commons there will be some sort of deal on all sides that this sort of thing is utterly dialled down.
"It serves no purpose."
On Mr Johnson's reference to Jo Cox, who was murdered in 2016, she said: "I think it was particularly tasteless for those who are grieving a mother, MP and friend to say the best way to honour her memory is to deliver the thing she and her family campaigned against - Brexit.
"It was a very tasteless way of referring to the memory of a murdered MP, who was murdered by someone who said 'Britain first', obviously of the far right tendency, which is being whipped up by this sort of language."
Ms Cox's widower said he felt "sick" after Mr Johnson dismissed the fears of Labour MPs over the language used against them in death threats
In the Commons on Wednesday evening, Labour MP Paula Sheriff raised Mrs Cox's death as she told Mr Johnson: "We should not resort to using offensive, dangerous or inflammatory language for legislation that we do not like.
"We stand here under the shield of our departed friend, with many of us subject to death threats and abuse every single day.
"And let me tell the prime minister that they often quote his words: surrender act, betrayal, traitor.
"I for one am sick of it. We must moderate our language and it has to come from the prime minister first."
Prompting a furious reaction from Labour MPs, Mr Johnson replied: "I've never heard such humbug in all my life."
After the incident, Brendan Cox tweeted: "Feel a bit sick at Jo's name being used in this way. The best way to honour Jo is for all of us (no matter our views) to stand up for what we believe in, passionately and with determination. But never to demonise the other side and always hold onto what we have in common."

Lewis Goodall said earlier one senior Tory said it matters not - Manchester is only 2 hours away. Obviously he has never used the M6 and thinks HS2 is already up and running. Furthermore even if it was only 2hrs that is still only one way.
