Shame that instead of coming up with credible and workable ideas, they come up with nonsense like nationalising broadband and then giving it away for free. It shows not only economic illiteracy, but a weird sense of priorities. 

Meanwhile, Boris has ditched his plans to give MPs vote to bring back hunting. So that's alright.

Nice to know he has our interests at heart. . .

Was that ever his plan? It was something that Theresa May wanted to do to appease some of the country vote, but I don't remember Boris every saying he wanted to have a free vote in bring back hunting (something which I'm very glad about). 

 

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything tho?

Boris is also back peddling on the tax cuts now, also the reduction to Corporation tax. I wonder what changed his mind?  Anybody might think he was scared.

You can say what you like about Corbyn, but he is already making a difference.

So you think that labour party mp's should live in council house's then? And if they dont then they have no rights voicing their opinion..

No, just pointing out that they are just a bunch on hypocrites, that's all.

 

 They're entitled to their opinion, it just that their opinion is that the living wage should be a lot less than they earn as MP's.

So where is your evidence of that?

And also why are they hypocrites? i dont get your rational, if i saw someone living rough on the streets, by your logic then i should not pass comment because i dont live on the streets, Corbyn is doing the best he can for the working class of this country,  whether it is through highlighting the underfunded  NHS, education sector, or the emergency services, or whatever, he is giving them a voice. but because he is a paid MP he shouldn't have a voice?

Labours 'real' living wage commitment, no doubt to be confirmed when they publish their manifesto this week:

 

https://action.labour.org.uk/page/s/national-living-wage

 

From Labours website:

 

'On 12 December you will decide the future of our country for decades to come.
Labour will build a fairer Britain that cares for the many, not the few'

 

Labours message? The many deserve £10 an hour, the few of us who recommend it don't because we deserve more.

what are you waffling on about, you stated ", it just that their opinion is that the living wage should be a lot less than they earn as MP'" i asked you to back up that claim, thats just your opinion, there is no evidence of that whatsoever

It is yes.

 

The measure I quoted, which was the stock of inward foreign investment, is at a record high. The 'flow' may have decreased, but the 'stock' values are at a record high. Flow values are very volatile, and there was a massive spike in 2016, so it would be misleading to suggest that there is a worrying downward trend. 

OK, so do you mind pointing me to the relevant portion of your link?

Ah, so you're saying that Labours prospective MP's don't support the policies that are on Labours official website?

Just look at the link in post 9181 clearly showing Labours policy of a £10 per hour real living wage, a wa

Jeeeez, this is like pulling teeth.....

the link says We think Britain’s workers deserve a pay rise. That’s why Labour will raise the Living Wage to £10 an hour, giving low-paid workers on average £2,500 a year extra in their pockets.

but you said.... "it is just that their opinion is that the living wage should be a lot less than they earn as MP's"....  so i'll ask you again, where is your evidence of that?? where does it say that in their opinion  the living wage should be a lot less than they earn??

okay, admit it, you just made that bit up didnt you?
