    Tristram Hunt swops working for one fossil for working with many.

    "Mr Hunt is the second Labour MP in a matter of weeks to quit Parliament for a job outside politics. Jamie Reed announced last month he was standing down as MP for Copeland to take up a post at the Sellafield nuclear plant."

    Can't say I blame either of them, our only hope is for the Tory party to kidnap Corbyn, Abbot and all camp followers, then the lot of them to emigrate to somewhere like Tristan-Da-Cunha and stay there.

    If Labour lose Tristan Hunt's Stoke On Trent Seat to a UKIP candidate
    it would be legal and just as epic.

    I strongly suspect that Labour will easily lose seats, losing to UKIP would be no cause for celebration for even the most blinkered Tory.

    Sadly far too many Labour supporters have little or no faith in Corbyn, can't bear the thought of voting Tory, switch to UKIP as if that bunch have got the remotest link to working people apart from possibly on immigration issues, immigration issues and Corbyn's failure to listen to concerns will destroy Corbyn.

    UKIP got rid of Diane James in 18 days.

    Labour must try harder.

    UKIP aren't a model I would follow for a tea party, certainly NOT a political party.

    Sadly says too much about our country when lies, ranting, the blame game and division count for more than considered thought and honesty.

    Currently we have the Lib-Dems who still haven't figured out what they did wrong, UKIP built purely on lies and deceit, Labour who don't know where they are going and the Tories in government who live on lies and deceit, with this shower in charge Labour should be flying, poised to take over, sadly won't happen with Corbyn as Labour leader, certainly he has good points, but on so many issues he listens to the small hard core of camp followers and ignores what the people say.

    This country of ours is currently more divided on so many issues than ever, very sad.

    Look on the bright side sf.

    This country of ours supports over a million and a half illegal immigrants.
    Provides free at the point of delivery medical care to every one
    to all who ask for it.

    We have 'free movement ' of peoples and Labour through Europe.

    We have an nhs free at the point of delivery for residents and visitors.

    We have free schooling and housing and a subsistence wage for those
    who can not earn a living.

    We spend 0.7 per cent of gross national income on foreign aid, with the official budget rising to £12.2bn.

    How can you call the Tory's bad when they are effectively doing the socialism job Labour is at present incapable not trustworthy of
    and as far from being given even a chance to do than Blair becoming a poverty stricken recluse.

    Face it.
    Because of New Labour and Blair the UK has changed for ever.

    Personally I do look on the bright side, but politically we have been sold down the river, as far as changing this country for the worse, Thatcher earned that particular award years ago, nothing and no-one has come close since, although the present gang are doing their best.

    Blair has not covered himself with glory since leaving office, Iraq was insanity, but this country enjoyed a longer period of stability and relative prosperity during the "New Labour" years than previously.

    As far as continuing to blame Labour for the world wide financial crash and recession, just look at the state of the country's finances now with a so called financially astute government in charge, if you or I acted in the way of this and the previous government, we would probably be locked up for fraud.

    New Labour were quite happy to ignore the banks excesses whilst they were in power and basking in the loans to the 'have nots' who eventually could not keep up with the repayments.

    Thatcher's policy's were at least open to democratic change unlike Blair and New Labours policy's have proved irreversible.

    Doing the right thing costs money.
    Labour can no longer demand the rich work harder to give more back to the have nots if the have nots have been usurped by the have nothing at alls.

    So what is it to be?
    Look after the 1 1/2 million and rising have nothing at alls Tory's or Labour Party Members get your act together get rid of Corbyn and come up with a better way to paying for social care than Capitalism?

    Really not sure if you're just having a laugh, or do you actually believe that?

    Let's see now
    Deregulation of the banks
    Drop the exchange rate mechanism on the banks
    Privatisation of public utilities
    Selling off council houses
    Scrap our last and only true aircraft carriers
    Finance cuts to education and health service, all spending to be restricted to "front line only" infrastructure to be simply neglected.
    The first direct entry into the NHS by private groups, where the situation of "queue jumping" within the NHS was created.

    Plenty more of course, but all down to Maggie the Mean, the Wicked Witch of Westminster, all irreversible.

    Labour didn't get everything right, no-one will ever please everyone, but that bloody woman was the most deliberately destructive PM ever, should have been tried for abuse of her position in a public office.

    "Under Tony Blair’s government, 6,330 council houses were completed from 1998 to 2010, compared with 17,710 under Thatcher in 1990.

    However, under the Labour party in 2004, only 130 council homes were completed.

    In 2013, Labour’s own social housing spokesperson Tom Copley called for the party to apologise for its inefficiency at building social housing.

    He said: “As a Labour politician one of the things that really galls me is that there’s this statistic that more council homes were built in the last year of Thatcher’s government than were built in the 13 years of Labour government, and that’s something I think as a Labour Party we need to apologise for.”

    Gordon Brown admits big mistake over banking crisis.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13032013


    In a column for local newspaper the Lancashire Telegraph, Straw said: “One spectacular mistake in which I participated (not alone) was in lifting the transitional restrictions on the Eastern European states like Poland and Hungary which joined the EU in mid-2004.

    “Other existing EU members, notably France and Germany, decided to stick to the general rule which prevented migrants from these new states from working until 2011.

    “But we thought that it would be good for Britain if these folk could come and work here from 2004.”.............

    Last year, Labour mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan said that the gap between richest and poorest increased manifold under the last Labour government...........


    Between July 1999 and March 2002, Gordon Brown sold off over 395 tonnes of Britain’s gold bullion. The amount sold accounted for about 58% of the government’s total reserves of 715 tonnes.

    At the time, gold prices were at a 20-year low. But after the sale, prices almost quadrupled.

    The sell-off is regarded as one of the Treasury’s worst financial mistakes that cost taxpayers almost £7bn.

    Well at least the Sellafield chap will be visible at night unlike the Tory Princes and Princesses of darkness and the Natural History Museum may put back some of the old exhibits like Gerald Nabarro and Maggies favourite Willy the Wet Whitelaw.

    Talking about HUNTS the smiling clown in charge of the NHS is a 48% owner of an educational website which is being sold, he stands to pocket between £14.5 Million and £16 Million. Now to say that the already richest member of the Tory Cabinet has a grasp of things in the REAL WORLD is an insult I know the two faced weasel has admitted taking his kids to A&E rather than wait for a GP appointment but this is the trouble most ORDINARY people have with the Tory Party they are clueless as to how their policies affect normal people , the sooner they realise we aren't ALL £millionaires we might get somewhere.

    How dare you insult weasels, useless Hunt is very much part of the problem, we know his allegiance is to the private medical companies who directly funded his office prior to his Cabinet position, we know that he was previously very anti-NHS,got to be one of the worst possible ministers for health, but of course ideal from the Tory point of view.
