Cameron wanted to arm "the Syrian opposition" who 12 months later we were calling Isis. Ed Milliband lead a very well argued opposition to this and the proposal was voted down. It seems that parliament in general has learned it's lesson from Iraq/Afghanistan but seemingly not the PM.

I think C4 news had to send their questions in before their invite was sent out...obviously a question about bans got them well, banned... Newcastle United, "controlling the message" like some low rent TASS...

The only person I've heard actually calling tickets "briefs" was a scouser, which is pretty magnanimous of Stevie tbf

"Liverpool fan in blatant , naked aggression, you small time small club win fuck all deluded cunts" would be far more refreshingly honest tbf..

Whats your take on Cecil the Lion?

Long time no see DEADMAN....are you looking forward to the new season?...What do you reckon to McLaren and his new signings? Edit: oh...looks like hes gone...

Contracting out the financing,construction and ongoing maintenance of facilities for education and health to private entities is about as tory as it gets...that's why Labour needs to stop trying to be the conservative party...

Like the sound of that so went to spotify...there's a picture of the band, one of them has one of the worst beards I've ever seen and the app won't offer me the option of playing the tracks in order, only on shuffle.... I hate my life....

I'm willing to bet CT is unaware who the owner of the WSJ is, and why a leader article in said publication is about as impartial as the rest of the fuckin old cunt's titles

Yeah like George was going to reduce borrowing in the last Parliament..how did that go again? Thing is Labour didn't lay a glove on them on this issue, which was in general the problem...that's the point. After 10+ years of the tories next time round and Labour being itself again, the country may be willing to listen.

Her and Tarby as HMHM says were described disparagingly as "professional scousers" by a born and bred Evertonian who I shared a house with, i.e they left the city as soon as they could, money grabbing tory voting Liverpool FC supporting shithouses who played up their "scouseness" whilst living in a large mansion backing on to the golf course at Sunningdale...do folk in the North East generally view the likes of Bobby Charlton the same though?...

She was in general deeply unpopular in Liverpool, so is Keegan....

Of course it will be if that useless prick Osborne keeps borrowing more than Labour did in a shorter period. Labour needs to position itself against austerity. If the country doesn't go for it that's fine, but they cant turn themselves into tory lite. Corbyn if he wins needs a moderate deputy. If Burnham wins he needs Tom Watson. But they have to remember what they exist for.

France and Germany's governments are traditionally and continue to be left of centre, certainly to the left of any UK conservative government I can think of. The French government continue partial state ownership of car companies, Renault and Citroen I think? What makes being anti austerity left wing? can you provide some examples of where an austerity policy has worked well for a given economy? Quick, give it a google

There doesn't have to be a big swing,the Tory majority is only 12. They won nine seats from Labour in England, and am not sure if you know much about what the SNP core leadership truly stand for besides independence? They are a fair bit further to the left of the current labour national leadership to say the least. All Corbyn has to do is position Labour as anti austerity and he's getting a huge amount of labours core Scottish vote in the central belt back at the next election. The SNP can't go from 6 seats and 20% of the vote to wiping the floor seat wise but with a lot of very marginal seats without a fair few going back to what they know when a proper lefties shunts the gig west .All a London PR smoothie needs to do at that point is keep going down that track and they'll have a major chance after over a decade of the Tories.

If Labour move to the left and win back 20-30 seats in doing so (mostly in Scotland, this is the SNP's nadir and if theyre being honest theyd admit it) its another hung parliament, that could prepare the ground for a Milliband victory. That's what i'd be telling them anyway....

But the middle ground is nowhere near the current government. Theres a vote in 2017 to leave the EU. That's nowhere near the middle ground of post European poitics. Labour do occupy closer to the middle ground as we speak but the government has moved so far to the fuckin right with barely a murmur from a shitty complacent media (including the "loonie lefties" at the BBC), that its making Thatcherism look like a benign, fleeting period of calm.
