    Labour are now just promising anything to anyone regardless of cost as long as they think it will get votes, Reckless and underhand making promises they will not keep

    Andrew Neil completely dismantled Nicola Sturgeon last night, tore apart her two tests on an independence referendum and showed both haven't been met, and in a 45second assault laid bare how the SNP have no right to lay into the Tories handling of the NHS when the SNP's record is far from perfect. He interviews Corbyn tonight, I think he is the best out there and really doesn't care which party is sat in front of him, he will ask them all pressing questions.

    Maybe the 4 words 'fighting for our freedom' come to mind in contrast to the centre and left today wanting to vote it all away....

    That is because he knew the UK was a little bit different to the rest, what with the Empire/Commonwealth ties and are we in the eurozone- non, and are we using euro currency- non.
    That is because we are a "special" case out here on the edge of Europe.
    But we love the common market, honest 'guv.
    Just fully paid up members of the awkward squad as Charlie knew too well.

    I think a few will have learnt there lesson. I voted to remain in the referendum because I thought then and still do now that it will be bad for large and small business however I accepted the democratic decision. But here is a question Dave as I know you are a passionate brexiteer what’s in it for us older folk because even the government acknowledges that there is going to be short term pain.other than a small drop in immigration what’s in it for us

    You need to go easy on our @Tony Wilkinson@Tony Wilkinson as he keeps bangin' on about commies and didnt get the memo that the russians/putin have been flooding the tories with cash donations.
    With a name like Boris, who could have guessed who our new friends are?

    What is russian for
    Jolly Good Show.

    Do you actually believe that if you knocked on a door in Barnsley they would not care about Brexit? Labour lost Scotland, they are now about to lose their heartlands if they carry on like this.

    Well leaving and staying in the EU is pretty much the same thing with Corbyn's deal.

    2nd ref would be loaded against leave and they offer this to us with a straight face, 2 journalists at manifesto launch today asked Corbyn the question again and twice he avoided the answer..

    But he isnt...

    He knows that the people he cares about...the poor... will be poorer if we leave yet still persists with even trying to get a deal. He offers a referendum because he knows he wont win if remainers have no reason to vote labour. Thats the only reason why, he is a massive brexiteer.

    If as people claim he is a communist then the only way to chieve that is to leave the EU. The single market is the opposite of communism its a free market based heavilly in the neo-liberal economic model. Communism cant exist in the EU. So whats it going to be either hes a communist or hes pro-eu?

    How does he know the people he represents will be poorer if we leave? Does he have a magic crystal ball?

    This is nonsense. Leaving aside the fact that people are motivated by plenty of things in the workplace outside of pure wealth accumulation, a very slight tax increase isn't gonna disincentive people who are solely motivated by money from working hard, they will still be able to take home more as their salary increases. The logical conclusion of your argument is that income tax should be abolished altogether, and what kind of society would we be living in if that were the case.

    Feel free to pay this 'very slight increase' but you can leave me out of any tax rises. Until any government can show me with confidence that they are trusted spending tax payers money then i'll gladly pay as little as i'm allowed to.
