People will still fall for it again in 5 years time.The greed comes out in some people at election time,maybe because they don’t need those vital services yet. The one who do need them are the ones to suffer the most while a lot of people don’t seem to care because it’s not them or their families suffering. | | | |

Good Luck UK on 19:25 - Dec 14 by AnonymousR | We won't leave in 7 weeks. We will be confirming the agreement to leave in December 2020. That won't stop the PM from coming out of 10 Downing Street on 1st February, stand at a podium and say it's done. I'd bank on him sending the confirmation to the EU and signing it this time. The problems start from that point on though. As suggested earlier in the thread, since the arrangements from 1/1/21 aren't in place and are HIGHLY unlikely to be in place the really hard work starts now. For example, Macron has asked for standardisation of UK exports to EU standards. This will be difficult for DexEu to agree with BEIS. The PM has suggested standardisation is on the cards according to Varadkar meaning the softest of super-soft Brexit. As I suggested the other day, horse trading over market access has started - Frederiksen wants access for the Danish fleet to UK waters as a trade-off for access to Denmark. To retain the 19k existing nurses, will require significant workforce planning. Up to 17k vacancies exist at any time, as well as a substantial increase in de-registration (called invalidation size 2016). With almost a quarter of UK nurses being foreign nationals, the immigration policy and post leave EU registration requirements are likely to place further pressure. It is achievable but very difficult, especially since the removal of the bursary means the trend of new nursing students has been to fall since 2010. The relationship with Scotland and NI WILL become more strained. NI in particular since the WA will place a border in the Irish Sea for goods and services and it can't wait 2 years. If trouble starts again, the PM will be held accountable as the man who broke the GFA. The forecasts of the economic impact of leaving which have been published all confirm that the UK will suffer as a result of leaving. The extent will be determined before December 2020 and it's unlikely to be positive reading for the new government. I'm not sure what 'choose this direction every time' means? As mentioned previously, the popular vote in this election was to remain (as it was in 2017 and in 2018) and the expectation that people who disagree will simply change their mind is naive in the extreme. People who voted remain know they've lost and congratulations to the people who voted leave. The PM simply needs to get everyone to agree what that leave looks like. Simply. If it means BRINO and the softest of soft EUExits, he is more likely to gain a majority and, with the ERG de-clawed with the larger majority he has a better opportunity. As you expect people to change their minds, is it reasonable to expect arch hard Brexit leavers to change theirs too? |
Lets just wait and see......... | | | |

Good Luck UK on 22:02 - Dec 14 by BazzaInTheLoft | Left and Right is subjective. Everything he advocated is already happening and is a mainstream view in countries from Norway to Korea. If you showed our manifesto to people in Norway that would ask you which centrist wrote it. Maybe it was too much too soon. Asking people to consciously separate from 40 years of Neo Liberal policies was a big ask. |
Baz, its Corbyn .Labour activists have been calling radio stations all day saying his name came up on the door step time and again . Are you really saying you heard nothing ? The media didnt photoshop him with known terrorists , the jewish MPs didnt trash their careers out of fun . He gave away 61 billion to the waspi women off the cuff in an interview . He is not a leader , of a party or a country and from what I know of you on here and a fellow R he isnt worth your shoe leather and time ... IMO | | | |

That’s probably true. If Nicola Sturgeon wants Independence for Scotland she’d more likely get it if she asked England to vote on it rather than the people of Scotland. Likewise Northern Ireland, a United Ireland makes sense for everyone concerned now the troubles are largely in the past. Both Scotland and Ireland are proud nations and its ludicrous in this time we should preside over either. A self governing England equally makes sense, financing of the NHS and education would become more sustainable as a single nation. Would also enable Scotland to rejoin the EU and Northern Ireland once absorbed back into a United Ireland. | | | |

Not all of it though. It's not just the antisemitism it's the reducing IHT to such a low threshold, it's the renationalising everything all at once, it's the attacking private landlords. And yes, it's the belief that his manifesto was unsustainable. In some ways it's okay for the Tories to promise the earth, because fairly or unfairly, they've got the image of protecting the economy. Labour, in order to win have to promote a prudent image, a government that will balance the books. Like Alan Johnson said, him and his cronies came across as a load of student activists rather than a credible leadership. They listened to each other and their supporters rather than to the people they wanted to win over. You can't just appeal to your dyed in the wool supporters, however much you might wish this. The last radical Labour government was Harold Wilson in the 70s. The Thatcher years changed the political landscape with traditional labour voters moving towards Tories with their promises of owning their council homes and lowering taxes. In order to win elections, the Labour Party now has to appeal to a broader church, be seen as modern, smart and fiscally astute. Diane Abbot's disastrous inability to present figures and understand her own budget as shadow Home Secretary being a particular nadir. Corbyn's failure to understand this is part of his overall failure. It's difficult to understand how someone can be so blind and deaf to how they are perceived. | | | |
Good Luck UK on 23:36 - Dec 14 with 1592 views | 2Thomas2Bowles | I know from talking to many of my family and friends both Con and Labour, the great free give away of the Labour manifesto was seen as a bribe far too big too good to be true. It all sounded great and without a doubt, some of it is much needed but this country has never been far left 83 proved that. The labour party believed it's own hype, so assured yet manager to lose 59 seats in just 2 years without even being in power!
