    Additionally, Zac Goldsmith is actually a very good, clued-in, honest and hard-working MP with a conscience. It's amazing, but he manages to answer any email sent to him helpfully and fast – and he generally answers emails personally.

    I'll be voting for him for mayor – though I'd be sorry to see him go as my MP.

    There are some of those around in all Parties!

    Nasty smear linking two different issues!
    So the message here is that showng compassion to refugees is opening us up to the threat of terrorism. Terrorists will use whatever methods they can to infiltrate a countries defences. By the way Germany has opened their borders to refugees but has a totally different way of treating ethnic minorities than France. Which country is suffering the atrocities? Like your politics simple read Farages speech tonight...you'll love it!

    Ou se trouve Jeremy Corbyn?

    They found him and I guess they're wondering why they bothered.

    You've got to wonder how much longer this train wreck can continue.

    This isn't a debate about 'all Parties!'. I was talking specifically about Zac Goldsmith, whose values I admire and who i think will make a brilliant mayor – which is why I will be voting for him.

    Christmas? Surely not to 2020.

    That said I was suggesting Labour still had chance to get rid of Miliband as late as this time last year without damaging their GE results. They didn't want to hear it and, instead, all decided he was crap after the event and conveniently airbrushed out the fact that they used to support him.

    Unions are highly skilled in electing GE losers.

    Unlike the Labour left who like to make out that anyone who wants to prevent terrorists getting in to this country is a racist or uncaring. You and your kind really are very naive. And dangerous to the rest of us.

    I can't tell you how glad I am that Labour lost the last election. God knows how many sleeper cells we would have in our country by now.

    But what more can we expect from people who call the IRA, Hezbollah and Hamas "friends" and think the death of Bin Laden & Jihadi John are some sort of tragedy.

    You can't even call Corbyn a pacifist - he seems to support violence as long as it's only directed at Westerners. Nuts.

    Jeremy Corbyn and all his idiot supporters are a threat to our nation’s security. And whilst he remains leader, so is the Labour Party.

    We have heard a lot from Labour MPs about the difficulties of finding a way of removing Jihadi Jez. Tough. They will have to find a way. Better still they should leave and join the Lib Dems and let the Labour Party become a pressure group which is all Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters are fit for.
  • Every time I wonder if things can get any worse with Labour and Corbyn, they do! it's never a never ending farce.

    on the economic front

    why don't we print money and build say 2,000,000 new homes over say the next 3/4 years?

    inflation is low and stable
    previous versions of QE don't seem to have had any adverse reaction on the pound


    a lack of money is not the limiting factor in building homes.

    Definitely the beginning of the end.

    "Labour shadow minister tells journalists Jeremy Corbyn is a 'f***ing disgrace' after angry meeting"

    Shame as I'd have loved to see Labour going into a GE with him still at the helm.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    No amount of money is going to supply the skilled labour and materials to achieve such a target.

    this is also wrong, if material manufacturing is a problem and I doubt that then there is no reason we could not import materials from France who must have in the region of 100,000+ homes worth of materials manufacturing spare capacity.

    labour can be trained rapidly and larger sites of house building would use labour more productively.
