Corbyn announces Your Party

His new political party with Zarah Sultana.

Except it doesn't appear to even have a name and now Zarah Sultana is having to go around twitter correcting journalists saying it's not called Your Party, while not actually clarifying what it is called.

I'm sure it will be extremely well organised.

Doctors must feel the “pain” of strikes or they will spread, Wes Streeting has warned.

Up to 50,000 junior doctors will join in a five-day walkout which starts at 7am on Friday, in pursuit of a 29 per cent pay rise.

I suppose we should cherish the 14-year periods when Labour are not in government (you note, I did not say power)…

No thanks, it's hardly productive. I'm disappointed you haven't accused me of being from a Communist dictatorship though. Ah well.

Don’t know why they don’t name it The Islamic Communist Party.

How predictably right-wing MSM.

👍 maybe he can use it to hire a PR manager.

Although who knows where that donation has actually gone.

Show quote history

I am confident that wherever my donation went was somewhere I would approve of. IMO, Corbyn is an ethical politician. Usually an oxymoron I know! Not in this case.

Ah, the old close it down angle.

In the highly unlikely event that these muppets get their act together sufficiently to actually get this new party off the ground, we should run a sweepstake on how long until the first split.

I give it three months.

So longer than the average Tory PM recently.

It would be great if you could stop giving me instructions on how to behave. As for resorting to insults, I'm only following your lead. Take your own advice.

Resorting to insults.

I have learned that bitterness inevitably comes from posters who are not exactly winning at life.

Dont be one of those people, Milo.

“OK, so we have already demonstrated that we are incapable of producing a proper launch event for our new party with professional branding, media, socials etc, in fact we haven’t even got a name for it, or a leader, but we are asking you to vote for us to run the country.”

What can possibly go wrong with this new party? 🙄

I think they’ll struggle to find a better name than Your Party. I mean it’s actually not that bad.

No it's average. That's pretty much bang on average UK wage. Husband was on more than me so we equalled out as middle earners. Well he did until made redundant this week due to NI increase!

Show quote history

Wow you ve been hit very hard...

Middle income of around 60k isn't a household income.

So again, what taxes have Labour put on middle income earners.... i doubt i'll get an answer, so i'll tell you... its none, Labour haven't increased any taxes on middle income earners, other than school fees VAT which they had a mandate for as it was in their manifesto and will affect a tiny minority of average earners.

UK average income is £37.5k, so again, you re below this.

Otherwise, do try to look on the bright side - the rain is good for ones garden.

You re in a tiny minority, 35k is about 27k p.a net give or take, not much left to pay for even one child as a day pupil in the cheapest of private schools.

Plus your income really isn't in the middle income bracket, its below average.

And this is how extreme right wins: divide the vote for the left, tories still not recovered, reform wins and we get a lovely Trump franchise

And this is why we need to reform our political system to use some sort of proportional represtnation to elect our politicians. Then people can vote for whichever party they actually support as smaller parties can get people elected and have influence on government policy.

But we won't because tradition.

Rubbish, middle income earners, those on around 60kp.a, are paying no more tax now than they were under the Tories.

Very few of these will be able to afford private school either or be employing people.

Or can you name the taxes Labour have targeted for Middle Income earners....

As a leader banker said recently "Brexit is the main cause of bankers and hence hi earners leaving the UK..."

...and who gave us that??
