I don’t think was never planning on being involved in that Tony. If it’s anything like the shouty mess of previous party leader debates probably a good call. Very little to gain when you are likely to be shot at from all sides

Also I see both major parties embarrassing themselves again. Tories childishly linking labour manifesto and hundreds (or more) students being illegally registered to vote in labour marginals I mean WTF ?!!

The plans aren’t fully costed though. It’s suggesting the nationalisation plans are fiscally neutral and so are excluded and from what I’ve read so is the transformational fund (450bn - 250bn over ten years and 150bn over five). I do like some of the proposed policies though such as increased...

I was bringing the accusations people are making regarding both individuals together Clint. I’m saying people will have their views and make their decision. In terms of anti semitism, I have to be honest and say I’m not close enough to the Jewish community to know what they might or might not...

Agreed Tommy. Also a poor format. Needed to give time to both to answer properly and be challenged (probably needed two hours with a proper debate on 4-5 key topics....not asking what they would buy each other for Xmas and thoughts on Prince Andrew !!!!)

The first one is accurate, it depends which half of it you want to believe. The below also suggests here’s not exactly always clear with the truth either... In October 1984, two weeks after an IRA bomb killed five at the Tory Party conference in Brighton, Corbyn invited convicted IRA...

He said the institution of the monarchy is beyond reproach. Unusual choice of words but he’s a royalist. He didn’t defend him

Let’s be honest its a tight call.... Corbyn - either terrorist sympathiser/anti semite or someone with appalling lack of judgement Johnson - calculated liar/untrustworthy leader or just plays the political game for personal gain. You pays your money you takes your chance. It’s impossible to...

Great TD by miami on the kick off return !

I actually think that could happen

Benno is not quite as silky on the radio as he was on the pitch is he ?!! Good, hard fought, win today, especially when you consider the number of players out Only annoyance was some bloke a few rows back slating Westbrook in the last few mins when the lad had run himself into the ground...

Fair point about the pensioners just saw that in the article Strange that there’s a rebate for nhs but not other services (schooling etc).

I always thought that was holidays but think I’m wrong ! Crazy how it’s calculated though...basically we were getting fucked !

0.3% isn’t much (although £300m doesn’t sound so insignificant), that’s from just direct health tourism in 2012/13 on a nhs budget of £91bn, not wider costs of those that may not have ‘contributed into the system’. Figure would obviously be higher now as well. Without getting onto the whole...

Is that you really BSB ?!! ;)

To some extent you’re probably right BSB ! But for a posh boy to get the type of (current !) support from the working class, there must be a something more.....one is undoubtedly he’s not corbyn. Labour should be wiping the floor in recent years If there is more middle/upper class support for...

understand. I was just saying that there are various factors behind the headline, one of which was the GP contract (that is still a factor as practices are still closed evenings and weekends). Other factors could/will be increased population, ageing population, issues with wider social care (not...

Agree, it’s bizarre !!! He’s just one of those characters I guess I think the party situation is more a reflection of where labour currently are to be honest. There is no way the Tories should have that sort of lead across the ‘working class’

agree and that’s also relevant in relation to a lot of areas in ‘real life’....MPs from all persuasions just don’t live in the real world ! cash is not the sole solution for the nhs though SBD. More obviously helps, however, with an ageing population and greater genuine calls on GP practices...

https://www.england.nhs.uk/2019/01/missed-gp-appointmentscosting-nhs-millions/ 15m missed GP appointments....its disgraceful ! people abuse the system because it’s ‘free’. Whilst cutting that out doesn’t solve the problem people have got to start taking personal responsibility.
