I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Well obviously no one wants to look foolish, but they did so because they thought it was what the country wanted to hear (which they do by the way)because Labour's record on handling the economy is to overspend in office and leave a huge deficit for someone else to sort out.

Today we now know that we are dealing with the same old Labour that will run up debts and cannot be trusted.

Have a look at Ireland's record on austerity, they've tightened their belts for seven years and it is budget day today. They can now look forward to some nice announcements from their chancellor now they are back to normal.

All this Labour Keynesian guff doesn't work Dan.

I heard that live.... embarrassing or what?

I think she thought she was on HIGNFY.

Coulda Woulda Shoulda.

Your beloved left is in tatters, like an old sexy flame from your past, that is now a haggard old pissed up tramp doing blowies for a fiver.

I must just add, they are doing a spectacular job of handing the torries (on a silver platter) their third term in office.

As for the Abbott creature it needs putting down, annoying waste of skin.

"It's not the bullet that's got my name on it that concerns me; it's all them other ones flyin' around marked 'To Whom It May Concern.'"

What's all the fuss about?

Firstly, the Conservative 'surplus' pledge is a nothing more than a legitimisation device to get yet more draconian pieces of 'social engineering' through Parliament. It is also a mean spirited target which enables the 'Out' camp to point at the money going to Europe as a cause rather than effect of our econmic impotence.

A couple of right-wingers in the party don't like it?
Didums has lost his dummy....
A purge of these faux-Tory careerist MP's is the best thing that could happen....toddle off to another party if socialism is that unpalatable.

Diane Abbott...Ha Ha....she's just a better camouflaged self-centered careerist who's really not as 'left' as sh'd like us to believe.

Obviously the re-birth of a proper Labour Party based on Socialist Values is going to be messy. Once they put the Blairites out of harms way - whether by de-selection or by imposing discipline - then a consesus policy porfolio can be followed. Untill then, every issue will be devisive, every debate will drive away some careerist hanger-on or closit Tory.

Nobody should expect this to be anything other than a barely concealed internal civil-war but there is no room in Corbyn's Labour for anybody who is not willing to dump the post-Thatcher emphasis on Corporate interest in favour of a re-statement of political purpose as champions of the oppressed, the dispossessed and the exploited in our society.

Make no mistake, the oppressed, the dispossessed and the exploited make up a very large segment of British society and one that is continually growing thanks to Osborne and chums.

The Tories are a grand recruiting sargeant for Labour.
