Political Thread

The Labour Party is standing up and demanding the Tories withdraw their planned cuts to Personal Independence Payments for people living with disabilities.
Osborne's Budget has unfairness at its very core. He's offering tax breaks to the wealthiest, whilst making it harder for people with disabilities to get the very basics like getting help to dress, leave the house, or go to the bathroom.

Good, that's the PIPs cut dealt with
And to illustrate Jeremy's point on the budget being unfair (without him resorting to personal remarks and childish name-calling) I've found an interesting graph from the Institute for Fiscal Studies

Tony Blair:

West must be ready to deploy ground troops against Isis.

Only if Blair is leading from the front and first one in in any action. No? Thought not Tony.

I would have thought this devil would already have enough blood on his hands to satisfy even him.

Tony Blair is a man in complete denial.

Once the Chilcott Report is out, the decent people in the UK should be in a position to decide whether or not legal action is sppropriate in respect of his actions over the illegal invasion of Iraq and the subsequent destruction in that country.

I do not know if the reports are true but there is common understanding that an important part of the IS military regime is made up of Saddam's former military who obviously have an axe to grind with the West. If this is correct, then it would be fair to say that Tony Blair's actions in Iraq directly contributed to the rise of IS.

At risk of falling foul of Godwin's Law...

Labour under Corbyn starts to sound more like the rise of the Nazi party as each day passes.

Oh dear, for someone who claims not to be a Tory you seem desperate to discredit Jeremy Corbyn.....

He is the greatest asset that right thinking people have.

He is the greatest asset that right thinking people have.

I agree. Long may he stay Labour leader. He will take them into the wilderness and as long as he is leading they will never find the way out.

These are the kind of operations that Jeremy Corbyn has his sights set on.

Most right minded British people would not disagree with him.

To rephrase David Cameron’s mantra to get it correct, they are all in it together.

The rest of the ordinary people are outside this club and have to pay their taxes through PAYE.
