Rayvin 5189 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 So today we've had a list of Labour MPs who are hostile to Corbyn leaked on the same day that Labour take the lead in the polls and just after the Tory budget nightmare. I know everyone says he has no chance of winning but the lengths people are going to to try and ensure this are staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5189 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Not as bad as being in the hostile group tbf. You'd always expect there to be some people in a party who don't agree with the leadership, and as long as they conduct themselves professionally I don't see any harm in that. It's those who are actively trying to undermine Corbyn and who are therefore distracting everyone from the Tories, who are doing the most damage.

Happy Face 29 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 unfortunately, corbyn again failed to really hammer them and the news agenda has moved on to brussels. Paul Mason was lavishing Corbyn with praise for how he's handled the Tory cuts Scratch. One. Tory. “I am unable to watch passively whilst certain policies are enacted in order to meet the fiscal self-imposed restraints that I believe are more and more perceived as distinctly political rather than in the national economic interest,” Iain Duncan Smith, former UK Welfare Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has resigned from the British government after the annual budget included a £1.3bn attack on disability benefits. Here’s what it means in five bullet points: Austerity has hit the buffers. Its aim, according to Conservative economic theory, is to kickstart growth. But it hasn’t so they need more austerity. At some point the austerity vs humanity problem was going to trigger the conscience of a Tory minister and this is it. The background is the vicious Tory infighting over Europe. Given the Cameron faction is using the whole bag of dirty tricks against the Johnson/Duncan Smith faction over Brexit, IDS has clearly had enough. There will now be a strong challenge to Cameron after 23 June, whether Britain votes to stay or leave. Osborne’s budget is unravelling. The education secretary Nicky Morgan last night suggested billions of pounds worth of cuts were “suggestions”. She had to cut short a TV interview today. My long engagement with Westminster leads me to see this as circumstatial evidence of a wider civil war inside the Conservative government over the scale of pointless austerity Osborne is imposing to reach his — clearly unreachable and stupid — fiscal targets. This is Jeremy Corbyn’s victory. In one speech he’s blown apart the Tory front bench, made likely two substantial revolts, destroyed the cabinet and made the Tories look like incompetent fools. And the weekend is young: it’s probably not over. IDS’ letter to Cameron draws the logic clearly. It’s a disaster for Blairites. They’d prepared their cabbage patches of opposition to Labour’s own new fiscal rule, and spent weeks revving up to diss Corbyn over his expected mishandling of the Budget. Instead Labour is ahead in one poll, tied in another, and its radical left leadership looks not just vindicated politically, but — and this matters in the Commons — tactically: Corbyn and McDonnell executed a near perfect hit on the government by announcing their own fiscal rule; denouncing the benefit cuts; and now splitting the cabinet. It is no longer “put up or shut up” time for the Progress wing of Labour. Just the latter. As for the Cameron government: its disarray tonight is of a different order to, for example, the Heseltine resignation of 1986. That happened while Thatcherism was in its ascendant. This happens while Cameronism — whatever that actually is — has descended into ideological and governmental disarray. https://medium.com/mosquito-ridge/scratch-one-tory-1efdada64080#.lo7mby6kt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4375 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 It's never been a secret that Cameron's father was a tax fiddler but it's good to see the details laid out.

Gemmill 44561 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 How fucking creepy are the photos of Cameron's dad. They look like Cameron after he's had a sip out of the fake Holy Grail. I'd love to think these revelations could ruin him, but I suspect they'll blow over with Labour unable to land any decisive blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the problem is more that tax avoidance for the wealthy is entirely legal. ...and yes, before you say it, neither Blair or Brown did owt about that either, but nor did they cut the welfare state to ribbons and blame the poorest in society for not contributing their fair share.

It's legal because those who benefit are the ones who make the laws or buy those who do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
