Corbynomics: A Dystopia

Lol "moving towards govmt". Is that what they call it when you got hammered in a general election a few months ago?
I call it still miserably out of power. If only Labour had chosen an electable leader it might have been so different.0 -
How big business is cosying up to Corbyn: More firms sponsor the Labour conference despite the party leader's tax threat
- There has been a surge in interest from big business to Labour since the election
- Around 900 more business delegates have signed up for this year's conference
- Already, 25 per cent of stands at next year’s conference have been booked
Barclays, NatWest, the London Stock Exchange and accountants KPMG are also sponsoring the meetings, which take place outside the main conference hall and are attended by senior Labour figures. Others to sign up include Mastercard, Centrica, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Hitachi.

Corbyn attracts middle class voters like himself. People from poor backgrounds are generally not interested in multi millionaire politicians who pretend that they are interested in them. They prefer to vote for a party that offers them the chance to better themselves rather than patronise them. The job of Labour is to keep people poor or in Corbyn's case middle class so that they will continue to vote Labour. They don't want to help them improve their lifestyle.0

As usual you ignore the positive by-products of decent and regular uplifts in pay for some of our most important workers. Expecting public service workers to bear the brunt of paying down the deficit ad infinitum was always going become politically untenable eventually.
Do you think that the private sector is the place to be employed then?
We aren't paying down the deficit by the way. The debt grows larger every year. We don't raise enough revenue to fund the amount we spend on an annual basis. That's the reality.0 -
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-brighton-rally-coolest-night-in-history-labour-conference-a7963836.htmlThe crowd that assembled for the Labour leader’s eve of conference rally in a Brighton park can have been, and I use these words with extreme care, like no other ever summoned forth by any British politician of modern or indeed any times.
It’s not like The Absolute Boy has never pulled a big crowd before, be it at Gateshead in the rain, or the Durham Miners Gala. But this was Brighton in the glowing sunshine, the crowds were huge, the music loud, and the boys and girls were not the usual slightly dysfunctional youth that for some reason flock to politics.0 -
SplitCorbyn pressed to commit to single marketLabour leader Jeremy Corbyn is being pressed to commit to remaining in the European single market and customs union after the UK leaves the EU.
More than 40 senior Labour figures, including 30 MPs, have signed an open letter published in the Observer.0 -

Labour members will not be given a vote on the party’s Brexit policy at conference after it was decided it shouldn’t be prioritised among the eight most important topics for discussion. Momentum helped the Corbynista Brexiters keep it off the agenda to save him from having the party split down the middle.
A laughable example of the sort of rubbish you get with a Corbyn dictatorship. Although no doubt one of his apologists will be along shortly to call it a smear or some other distraction technique.
Oh dear Jeremy Corbyn.0 -
Hardly the basis for a credible opposition party. Let's throw mud at others but won't show our own hand. Mrs May seems to have someone looking after her from above.......0

Alternatively he's in charge of how this issue is managed in his party and isn't going to allow it to tear Labour into 18 different factions as it has the Tories. Paralysed with disagreement as they are, and facing a real possibility of a split, Corbyn is ensuring that every single one of the Brexit hand grenades lands squarely on Theresa May's head, just where they belong.
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.0 -

He was on Marr this morning saying how he wanted to enpower the Labour membership.
Must be the shortest broken political promise on record.If I don't reply to your post,
you're probably on my ignore list.0
