Yer clutching at straws methinks.

So nothing about his policies for a fairer britain, just that he got paid for appearing on a russian tv channel.

The comment about Russia was in regards to a specific point, he is against the west intervening in Syria and has marched alongside Stop the War but he (and they) appears to have lost his conviction when the Russkies are the target.

I have no problem with a fairer society, it just happens to be the definition that we disagree on.

Oh and speaking of Corbyn and being paid by foreign states, has he proved he used the Iranian money for his constituency like he has been asked?

As for the Link, it is hard to tell from that one picture but their are potential issues there. The only "name" was Malcolm Rifkind, a now discredited MP.

Why don't you find out and let us know either way. I'm not your PA.

Interesting to hear on this mornings today programme that Philip Hammond is planning to borrow £2 billion to invest in a housebuilding programme. Strange how Corbyn was castigated for suggesting such a thing. Of course it's yet to transpire whether Hammond's plans are for affordable social/council housing...

The £2 Billion is part of a £5 billion spend on a Housebuilding Programme.Corbyn and McDonnell were castigated for their overall spending policies.But they can say what they like, they will never get elected to put their plans into operation.

You'd rather the issue of soldiers coming back with prosthetic limbs and not very well looked after not be highlighted? I really think you've got the wrong end of the stick here. The artist worked with a veterans charity.

That said, I can see why people would see it as crass.

Edit: If I thought the stuff was taking the piss, I'd be right behind you and say it was wrong, but I don't think it is. You stated the stuff sold was selling mugs with comments like maim a British soldier and free an artificial limb It was a bit different to that.

Soooo Nick where are the proceeds going to, of the highly offensive merchandise ? are they going to any veterans fund ?

It was rhetorical, he hasn't.

By the way, whilst I grew up during Maggie and I am a fan of hers (yes she had her flaws), I am not a Tory per se, I consider myself more centre right. My family had a long tradition of liberalism long before Jeremy Thorpe was hiring hit men. My Grandfather worked for that pillar of society Lloyd George

I don't know mate. One would hope so.
It's a crying shame that veterans have to rely on charity - 6th richest nation in the world and all...

There is no source, because there is nothing to prove he has. This is spite of him saying he will prove it.

The onus is now on him

Hammond has effectively stopped the government commitment to cutting the deficit - he's kicked it indefinitely down the road.

That is a big story.

It either shows that the Tories can't be trusted to try and balance the books any more. Or it shows that the Tories this they are sufficiently trusted compared to the opposition to abandon their commitment to cutting the deficit.

Either way it was not a fully costed spending policy. It is borrowing or taxing to fund this spending.

I'd argue that Hammond's invest for growth, and it's not just in housing, should not only be welcomed (depending on the issue of affordable social housing), plans show that Corbyn is an effective leader as it was he that brought the issues to the fore. That's not to mention other tory policies that have been reigned back.
