If the Tories are so great, why have nurses voted to strike for the first time ever? Not really an overwhelming vote Nick: NEWS HEADLINE. The nursed pay scales are as follows: The teachers pay scales: I think both scales prove that they get a good screw and better pay than a lot of people on this website even. True they have to work for it like EVERYONE does these days and the wages are not as bad as both sectors make out!

The Tories have done a great job looking after my injured and wounded fellow marines and Jonny Mercer MP here in Plymouth is champion to ALL ex serviceman and does a fantastic job all over the country. With Corbyn its all talk as it was with Boy Blair and Brown. They could not look after themselves let alone servicemen ...apart from sending the poor blokes to war under a false banner ???

Sadly I think its exactly the opposite that will happen. The tories have the media in the palm of there hands and are biding their time IMO. They will see this Small bit of labour momentum and I'd think they'll be fairly relaxed about it, knowing that in the final couple of weeks the media will push them to a landslide. See I don't totally disagree with you, but I am starting to feel cautiously optimistic. What we are seeing at the moment, and of course no one in the MSM is framing it this way, is the mobilisation of the biggest political party in Europe, over half a million people, something we haven't seen in this country in generations. This is something which potentially bypasses the establishment narrative, and this is why a lot of prominent journalists are reacting in panic to it: because despite nearly all of the MSM vigorously pushing the Tory message, their lead has been cut by half since the elction was called. That is astonishing. The Media are extremely powerful in this country, but they are not omnipotent. People on the ground, talking and engaging with people who typically are uninterested, will have an effect, and it is clear that the more people hear of Corbyn and his policies, the more who are sympathetic. Look at Grime. It is the biggest sub-cultural movement in the country, and it is playing a huge role in advocating Corbyn to young black peope with previously no interest in politics. That is a great thing, surely, for anyone who believes in democracy.

The problem seems to be that whilst the Labour Party may be the biggest in Europe, they do not back the leader 100%. You are still talking about a marginal amount of people, assuming the young can be bothered to register and then be bothered vote. We will get a better idea once the manifestos are released but Labour, unsurprisingly, have already come under scrutiny regarding their figures.

We will get a better idea once the manifestos are released but Labour, unsurprisingly, have already come under scrutiny regarding their figures. Since Corbyn became leader, the membership has nearly tripled. I would say that the vast majority are on side. Youth voter registration is also at record levels, which again is fanatastic news for democracy. As for the spending, you have to ask who is asking the question about Labour's figures? Surely the Tories need as much scrutiny, particularly considering that under their leadership, borrowing has gone up, debt has gone up, tax cuts have continued and government subsidies to private companies in infrastructure, the health service, education etc etc have only exacerbated? Yet no one seems to question where the money for this is coming from. Funny. By contrast, Labour will have a fully costed manifesto, and the promise of a National Investment bank and targeted sectors for government borrowing put them in s different league to the Tories in terms of economic accountability and detail.

Come on Nick, the answer is in your tweet Average pay is lower than up to 18 years ago. It doesn't look like wages are going up any time soon. Well for the vast majority anyway. Still we can afford wars.

I couldn't find much about the Labour demographic but this suggests it hasn;t changed much at all.

True,but if he were truly centre left,he wouldn't have banged on about his admiration for Maggie Bollocks. I admire Wedgie Benn for his principles but his politics are s***e. You can admire people on the other side. I thought you would get that because you can see things from 'more than one angle'.

I laughed so much at this post I nearly pissed myself. Believe what you want to, comrade. But it is s***e because McDonnell clearly cannot count.

Edited by legaleagle (15 May 2017 1.15pm) Rumpole, UKIP ceased to be relevant on June 24 2016, a day you will one day recognise as being the day we freed ourselves from the Socialist Federation of Greater Germany. Despite your petulant moaning. However, the working class need a right of centre alternative to fight for its rights, given the lefts betrayal of it and its obsession with minorities, so it is heartening to see the Tories adopt the most right wing agenda they have done in years, with a Thatcherite Christian in charge, and hope they stick to the agenda of a clean Brexit, low tax, preservation of the Union, rolled back state and British values. If they don't, then Sir Nigel will come back with a new political vehicle. Thank the lord for Sir Nigel, Britains most successful politician of recent times, a man of conviction and doing. How you must wish for a left wing Sir Nigel. Edited by matt_himself (15 May 2017 8.55pm)
