To find John mcdonnell comments disgusting

[Grrrrrsnarl]

Just that
Watched him on Marr earlier when he reiterated his comments that Grenfell tower was social murder and that Labour's commitment to wipe student debt was just an ambition.

Sorry not wanting to be goady but wasn't that part of the manifesto ( to wipe out the debt) and now just an ambition
And social murder......

I agree with him, but by the same logic he supports genocide (being a big fan of the Communist revolutionaries).

Well Labour didn't do much about tower blocks and social housing when they were in power, but they've done well with the terrible opportunity which happened under the Tories.

Politics = power differentials between groups of people… governance and control over a human community and the distribution of resources and influence within it.

The residents of Grenfell were held sway to the destiny by decisions made by people in positions of higher power, influence and resources, in local government, national government and corporations. The residents themselves had very little legal or political clout to change the appalling conditions and risks they were living under. Therefore, the issue is very much political. Maybe not so much partisan politics, the tragedy could very much have happened under Labour’s watch too, but at a deep paradigmatic level it was political… they were killed by the political praxes of outsourcing, deregulation and privatisation; the theory neoliberalism.

Sorry my railway rant was in reply to Redsrule's post.

Yeh coz McDonnell and Corbyn were part of previous labour governments

I agree Simon, it is a clear attempt to muddy the waters, shameful behaviour by Hammond.

muddy the waters

The waters are indeed muddy....but from the Tories thrashing around at everything. No plans. No competence. No leadership.

On anything.

It was his lot who privatised the railways

Well Labour didn't do much about tower blocks and social housing when they were in power

I think we can safely say that Corbyn is not Tony Blair. Because New Labour were just as Tory as the Tories, the genuine Labour party are supposed to never criticise anything again?
