He did it, they tried to fix it so he couldn't stand, stole the votes of members who'd joined as far back as February but you can't stamp out the demand for an alternative to Blairite politics within the Labour Party.

My post was mean't to be a metaphor for your Murray=Labour comment. Bandana wearers are ok with me but I am wary of drunken businessmen with their ties around their heads.
It's good to keep an opened mind, but not so open that your brains fall out. |

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune) |

Yes he did it. But like the voting at primary school for class captain..... winning a Labour leadership contest is not relevant anymore if you want to be PM. The Labour Party are on the road to ruin in England and Wales.... the life support system is just about to be switched off in Scotland. The LibDems look to be a better bet to oppose the Tory's grip on governing the UK. If you want to defeat them, put up a credible leader and supporting team... one the public can trust, respect and vote for. Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott are a joke and you know it mate.

"The great political novelist George Orwell wrote in the late 1930s that the problem with Marxists is that they don’t have any clue what’s going on in normal people’s heads. That’s as true today as it was before the Second World War". DAVID BLUNKETT-Mailonline

So Labour have announced they would introduce a new minimum wage of over £10 an hour Great news for me, The Tories are already raising the minimum wage to £9 per hour & I can see them raising it to £10 to snuffle out Labour. Whilst I appreciate Tax,Rent & the general cost of living will rise to gobble it up before I ever get my hands on it, in raw terms it offers me an extra £414 a month which makes an enormous difference.
The mountains are calling & I must go. |

Of the many problems I have with McDonnell, this illustrates his lack of understanding to "end the social scourge of tax avoidance" by doubling the number of HMRC staff working in this area and banning "tax-dodging companies" from winning public sector contracts The problem of tax avoidance is an international cross border problem and not something that one single country cannot resolve. It is also probably illegal to preclude a company from a tender just because you don't like them Edited by Y Ddraig Goch (26 Sep 2016 5.00pm)
