He's made a mockery of the Labour Party and won votes by creating a manifesto that the country could not afford to deliver!!!

Yabu. Theresa May should resign after her rotten attitude in the election run up

GetAHaircutCarl · 12/06/2017 18:01

I think that's why I don't buy the idea that he was involved in back channel talks.

His meetings weren't secret and they weren't part of a two way process either with the state or with the unionists.

Has anyone who was genuinely part of the process confirmed that he took part? Or was he just off on a frolic of his own?

Radishal · 12/06/2017 18:04

Total frolic on his own with his ego in tow. He's tried to jump on Mo Mowlam's coat tales - presumably thinks we won't call him out on it because she's dead.

Where will the companies go to? Someone posted a table which confirmed we had one of the lowest rates of corporation tax. Plus the Conservatives think they can do breakfast for kids at 7p a head. A service our school currently charges £5 for. Obviously it won't cost that much as kids can come in later but staff making the breakfast and supervising the kids will need paying. Or maybe the Conservatives think they will work for free.
Plus the Conservatives said they weren't ruling out tax rises but you can bet they will hit those least able to pay.
Or Labour want is for the very wealthy to pay a little bit more.

Yanbu. Out on his arse.

MsMartini · 12/06/2017 18:21

Get, I think if there was any evidence it was anything other than posturing his office would have produced it by now.

Radishal · 12/06/2017 18:25

Exactly Ms. Sick of being called a Tory stooge for referring to it.

Dawndonnaagain · 12/06/2017 18:25

Again, why was it alright for Douglas Hurd to communicate with IRA.
Currently May is communicating with terrorists to shore up her idea of a government. Why is that acceptable?

Radishal · 12/06/2017 18:26

Douglas Hurd was Home Secretary not backbench poseur. And he did the right thing on the Guildford Four and Birmingham six. Eventually.
And TM is a hypocrite for getting in to bed with DUP bastards.

Dawndonnaagain · 12/06/2017 18:28

Fab
The source is Gov.uk.

Dandandandandandandan · 12/06/2017 18:29

I think he's always loved the idea of being the back bench rabble rouser. Taking terrorists into the Houses of Parliament so soon after a bomb - apparently kinnock tore him a new one for that.

Where will companies go?! Well, in my case, we have offices in over 50 other countries. So one of those. There was a chap on the radio on Sunday saying that he'd relocate to New Zealand and make his 100 staff here redundant.

I just don't get the "where will people go?" argument. People in high earning roles/professions are saying that they will. Sure they won't all go. At first. But with 1% of people paying 27% of income tax, you don't need that many to go before there's a hole. And that's when the problems start.

ssd · 12/06/2017 18:30

because it's the tories dawndonnaagain, when they do deals with terrorists it's fine or sells arms to the Saudi's it's fine, even though they based their whole election fight on the fact Corbyn allegedly spoke to the IRA years ago.......

basically if its a British terrorist , they are okay with it....

Radishal · 12/06/2017 18:32

ssd, "British terrorist" . I think you missed the point.

ssd · 12/06/2017 18:34

the DUP deal with British terrorists

MayhemAndRudderless · 12/06/2017 18:34

Our PM should resign.

The only reason Corbyn didn't get in is due to The S*n, Express and Mail's vested interests in having a Tory govt.

true

GetAHaircutCarl · 12/06/2017 18:35

No sign of a Tory here.
But that's not going to stop me asking sensible questions about Corbyn.

I'm not going to be distracted by whataboutery or a photo of TM meeting a Saudi. What with me not being ten.

Dandandandandandandan · 12/06/2017 18:36

And yet if she'd had about 400 more votes, TM would have a majority - according to figures in the telegraph just now.

7461Mary18 · 12/06/2017 18:39

Tories got 42.4 per cent of the vote – the highest share for the Conservative Party since 1983.

Won seats such as Mansfield, Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland and Stoke-on-Trent South as well as seats like North East Derbyshire last held by a Conservative in 1931.

Not too bad. We hoped for better but there it is.

A lot of people voted for Corbyn as a protest vote but did not necessarily want him actually to win.

Perhaps it ended up win win for everyone really.

ssd · 12/06/2017 18:40

Dandan, they would say that, wouldn't they

MayhemAndRudderless · 12/06/2017 18:41

This is why the 'unelectable' and 'weak' Corbyn should stay as Labour leader.

TM had all the backing of the mainstream media and JC did not.

I believe if the election had gone on for another week or two, Labour would have gained a majority.

MayhemAndRudderless · 12/06/2017 18:43

A lot of people voted Labour because they can see the Tories for what they really are.

Dawndonnaagain · 12/06/2017 18:44

A lot of people voted for Corbyn as a protest vote but did not necessarily want him actually to win.
I don't think that's quite the case. The Labour share of the vote was hugely increased and only 2% behind the Tories.
Oh, and 58% of the vote was anti Tory.

GetAHaircutCarl · 12/06/2017 18:44

The reasons for voting either way are often complex.

Anyone who does door step campaigning knows that things are very rarely straight forward.
