The UK Labour Party

The Greens seem to have stumbled upon a leader saying all the right things and taking the Greens to a wider audience.

It will be interesting to see how the media deal with Polanski in the future.

Well he did say a woman can have a penis so they will probably be laughing at him

Oh don't worry he'll get the Corbyn treatment if he ever looks like being successful.

Follow the money/shekels for their motives.

Completely different period of labour history and I'd say not what Armagh18 was on about

Corbyn should have known better. England is a centre right country. Always will be until someone proves there's a better way.

If he had have learned to hold his tongue until he was in power, he could have changed that. Not in one swoop, but over time.

But he couldn't hold his tongue. He didn't have the patience to wait for term when he could smooth things in, then another term where he could show himself to be right (or wrong). Hence he is reduced to being a lefty political footnote.

Keir Starmer. He could be doing good now. But he's neither willing nor interested in change. What a ****. A complete ****.

I am more than worried about this forthcoming budget. When my wife & I started working, the deal was women got the state pension at 60, men at 65. We both had to wait till 66, so it has cost her £72,000 & me £12,000 already.

The plan to switch 2% from National Insurance [which we are now exempt from] to income tax will screw us over.

The proposal to reduce the cash ISA limit from £20,000 to £10,000 will screw us over.

If the personal allowance remains frozen @ £12,570, that will just about cover the state pension next year, so every penny of our occupational pensions will be taxed @ 20%....screwed over.

Don't even mention the farce that was the Winter Fuel Allowance last year + it had been floated fairly recently that the free senior bus pass would be ended locally.

Add in the fact that the public sector occupational pensions were wrecked in 2015 & it seems like pensioners have been targeted for various hits all along.

It's starting to look like you get fleeced all your working life & then you get totally robbed in retirement, just because these idiots in power cannot sort out the finances. Rather than keep in with pensioners [as they're usually keen to go out & vote, as a demographic group], they seem to have decided that we all have stacks of surplus money, which needs to be taxed to the hilt.

Life expectancy has risen by 6 years in the last 20. This alonh with the baby boomers reaching retirement means the pension bill has sky rocketed.

[Munchie]

The EA are spending £40 million a year on getting precious to school in taxis, no wonder you can't get a taxi at night they don't have to work - society is fucked, the perception is everyone is owed, free prescriptions, free water, a bit stressed and you are off work getting more money that folk bursting their holes going to work 6 days a week.  The only way it will end is if benefits are addressed ffs luxury cars for DVLA ridiculous.

If the NI payments had been ringfenced (which they were supposed to be), and invested properly, then we wouldn't be in this mess. You're not Keir Starmer in disguise, are you?

You're only half correct.

The only way this can end is a realignment of the housing market so that housing cannot be traded as a commodity.

We have reached a breaking point in the value of working for a living. All caused by the trap whereby man and wife both have to commute and spend 40 hours a week in an office just to earn the right to have a roof over their head.

Can we really blame anyone for thinking there's a better solution whereby they get a roof over their head for not working?

[Munchie]

We can blame those in charge for facilitating that solution.
