I welcome the announcement. How many have said Corbyn can't lead an effective opposition? Seems from this he is. In fact am I right in saying May has announced more Labour policies than Tory ones. Who can't be anything but pleased at such cross party consensus?

In fact am I right in saying May has announced more Labour policies than Tory ones. Who can't be anything but pleased at such cross party consensus? Once again you are displaying deliberate stupidity. Labour do nothing except tell target voters what they want to hear. The Tories have tried to be as honest and pragmatic as politicians can reasonably be with voters in an attempt to promote policy that is actually required. That failed at the last election so they have resorted to the Labour tactic. And we wonder why politicians lie. People of certain demographics are too dumb to understand the issues sufficiently to make any kind of judgement. We get what we deserve.
