To ask - Jeremy Corbyn - PM

There's stuff about how he thinks he'll be PM in 6 months. How the GLASTO coverage is a BBC plot to "see a MARXIST in power" etc etc but how?
TM is hardly going to call another election and Labor are likely to keep her long enough to get through the crap that is Brexit.

Apologies for all those thinking in thick but I don't see how JC has any even inkling of getting it, let alone a discussion on how much swing he'd need

It seems that some posters are rubbing their hands in glee that previous governments got it wrong in the cladding issue that killed 79 people and counting.

They are using the deaths of people who died in a fire as a political football to escape culpability.

These are the Conservatives of the 21st century.

histinyhandsarefrozen · 26/06/2017 19:01

Mays incompetent behaviour will increase his support.

Mercime · 26/06/2017 19:02

Elendon that's a pretty low blow.

Hmm Wow. How low can a person stoop.
grins · 26/06/2017 19:07

Elendon - it is well discussed up thread.

As for the rest of your post - seems entirely inconsistent with your reply to me. Disgraceful.

Mercime · 26/06/2017 19:08

"Politics is about the lives of all of us and the wonderful campaign that I was proud to lead brought a lot of people back into politics because they believed there was something on offer for them."

Yes, he offered loads of free gifts

Elendon · 26/06/2017 19:09

It's not a low blow. It's the truth.

These people will stop at nothing. They would rather put their heads into ammonia created by their beloved horses and dogs than admit the truth.

Mercime · 26/06/2017 19:09

Ok you sound a bit crazy

histinyhandsarefrozen · 26/06/2017 19:10

And may doesn't offer free gifts?!

I've never seen anything like it.

Mercime · 26/06/2017 19:10

What 'gifts' did may offer? Nowt for me

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 26/06/2017 19:11

Unhinged.

Elendon · 26/06/2017 19:12

Grins exactly! The material used was signed off under Blair and used throughout labour coalition and Tory governments. It has been installed under councils of all sides. It is not a political issue. How it is dealt with going forward is and I actually think the Tories are doing a pretty good job

If this isn't a politically charged reply to you Grins then you are not worth the discussion.

grins · 26/06/2017 19:12

Elendon - do you really think your trivialization of an awful tragedy into crass soundbites will win support for Corbyn?

Elendon · 26/06/2017 19:13

Under a conservative government 79 people (and counting) died. If the Conservatives were really that bovvered they would have done something about it.

TulipsInAJug · 26/06/2017 19:14

I can't believe May did a deal with terrorists!

Where do you start with this kind of ignorance?

histinyhandsarefrozen · 26/06/2017 19:14

so you think May is more pragmatic and careful with money? Grin

TipTopTipTopClop · 26/06/2017 19:15

Elendon your posts are filling me with hope for a future without Corbyn.

grins · 26/06/2017 19:17

I didn't ask for that reply and frankly am disappointed in how it starts. How a reply to me reflects on my worth I have no idea - I suspect you don't either Elendon, you just want to bully into submission.

grins · 26/06/2017 19:20

Fortunately the juxtaposition of my post of 19:12 and yours of 19:13 makes all the points I need to make to you Elendon. Good night and thanks for showing your worth

Dawndonnaagain · 26/06/2017 19:25

If we're back on Grenfell, then the Waldegrave housing act is to blame,

... makes arrangements for local authority tenants to become tenants of a new landlord by enabling prospective landlords to purchase local authority rented housing stock.

The Government will encourage local authorities to change and develop their housing role. Provision of housing by local auth- orities as landlords should gradually be diminished, and alterna- tive forms of tenure and tenant choice should increase.

Coupled with this objective was a proposal for the creation of new Government Agencies called Housing Action Trusts (H.A.T.s), based on the model of Urban Development Corporations, which would take over run down inner city estates and over a period of time renovate them with public and private money on to other landlords, who could be local authorities but are more likely to be housing associations or private landlord

So, the removal of local authority housing from what were very stringent regulations.

makeourfuture · 26/06/2017 19:28

Tories voted down safe housing.

makeourfuture · 26/06/2017 19:30

The hurt all they touch. Everyone.

A product of failed, faulted ideology.

Elendon · 26/06/2017 19:36

I never once as a Labour party member voted for Corbyn. I'm renewing my subs based on this thread.

Many thanks to you all.

Oh, Jeremy Corbyn!!!

Mercime · 26/06/2017 19:47

The most likely explanation for this awful fire was that it was caused by faulty cladding. I fail to see why that is a political issue. I imagine the foam core was not tested independently but probably tested with the aluminium skin which would have made it much less flammable. Somehow the fire combusted the core and that led the fire to burn out of control. I think making this the fault of Theresa May is idiotic and I don't think JC came out of it well.
