I do think they want to make it feel like we're still in the EU as much as they can.

So having sovereignty over our own laws but enjoying the huge benefits of being in a massive free trading bloc?

The absolute mentalists.

Yep, that's the entirety of their Brexit plan. Well done for condensing it down to one line without omitting anything.

So to recap. From the Tories we have A strong and stable government (as they've demonstrated thus far.
From labour we have: For those unclear, here's what the dastardly Labour Party will do if elected.
1. Build a million new homes. 2. Make all rented property 'fit for human habitation' by law. 3. End Privatisation of the NHS and restore it as a publicly provided service. 4. Integrate Social Care and Health Care. 5. Create a National Education Service that offers publicly provided education for all, both while at school and beyond. 6. Introduce a fair tax system by making those who are better off and multinational companies pay more. 7. Renationalise the railways. 8. Control the energy industry and end overcharging. 9. Stop companies registered in Tax Havens from getting government contracts. 10 Provide FREE school meals for all children. 11. Retain the pensions triple lock so the elderly are not penalised financially. 12. Protect the environment by promoting green energy and creating a low carbon economy. 13. Establish a National Investment Bank to revive our infrastructure and industry. (Think quantitative easing, but for the benefit of the people not the banks). 14 Create a million new real jobs through interventions by the National Investment Banks. 15. Raise the minimum wage to £10 per hour, to attack poverty. 16. Provide real protections for employees at work from zero hours contracts. 17. Repeal the trade union laws which protect emplotyers at the expense of those who work for them. Now, how could anyone live in a country like that??? It would be reducing inequality and exploitation and catering for people's needs.

Lies to the working class.

Most of what you refer to involves having a good economy and as soon as they would take over anyone rich is going to hide their money or bugger off.

Labour would ruin any chance of a good deal with Brexit.

They are next to useless for driving a good deal.

You need hard nosed b******s, not people who don't really believe in Brexit.

Is this the same good economy with growth slowing over nearly every sector?

This is a very good economy compared to most of the developed world.

I wouldn't trust the left with a savings account let alone the national economy.

We're still an economy propped up by personal debt and artificially high property prices. The slowdown in growth with inflation creeping up are not good signs.

Even though despite being given figures several times that Labour have a consistently better record on the economy than the tories.

I can't be bothered to talk about the aesthetics of leadership. I think it's a total red herring, and the reason we've allowed charlatans like Blair and Cameron in to number 10. So I'll just leave this here.

What does she look like the leader of, the undead?

You 'can't be bothered to talk about the aesthetics of leadership' but you make a jibe about Theresa May's appearance?

I'd say he's pretty resilient, having survived a constant attempt to displace him by his own parliamentary party almost since he was elected. I mean he's won the selection twice, survived sprees of resignations from his own shadow cabinet and a vote of no confidence - and still sticks to a strong left wing principle, despite the best efforts of the parliamentary labour party.

It might be a one man suicide charge of the Labour party but I don't think the man is in any way weak.

Cameron, lost a referendum and s**t the tory bed

There is a big difference between a stubborn fool and good leader.

Jezza was always going on hang on as leader as long as it takes to gerrymander Labour rules so that he leader is always a Momentum type.

Nothing to admire there.

No mention from Labour on small businesses. The sort of people who create wealth not rafts of civil servants and government workers.

You are a fine one to talk about credibility.

Labour better on the economy?....now there's bollocks and there's big bollocks but what you are talking there is planet sized bollocks.

What I have experienced is Labour leaving the country in a mess which the Tories spend most of their term sorting out.

Nope. Credibility lost.

The Tories since 2010 have created more debt than all labour governments put together.
Labour have a better record on paying down debt.


You seem to ignore this. Why? Because it creates confusion in your grey matter that all the BS you've been fed is actually BS and you don't like to hold your hands up and say you were wrong.

So you won't examine evidence.
Fair enough. Don't bother engaging anymore if you can't even be bothered to read something
