Firstly, there would be numerous other things I'd want a party to prioritise before that. Secondly, if taxes were raised to supposedly improve public services, then people would just be even worse off while public services were as crap as they were before.

 

If you think milking more money out of people is actually going to improve services and infrastructure, then you're very naive. 

[PRESLEY]

Naive is the word that sums up Sunak, he is not responsible enough to sustain his position as PM,  I reckon he jumped on the false info fed to him ref Labour's extra two grand tax rise,  do diligence is what he lacks,  he should have checked out the info before blurting it out several times which actually backfired and made him look silly and more seriously,  a liar.

Farage has definitely gotten under their skin.

"Everything about that sequence would have the man in the boating blazer rubbing his little pink hands in glee"

 

 

Casual bit of racism thrown in there, still that's ok for the Guardian as it's a white bloke and he be right wing.

It's interesting the Labour and JC are the two front runners, is democracy dead?

Democracys dead because an mp whos been elected 9 times in his constituency is front runner, and the party polled to win most seats and is the mps former political home for those 9 elections is also a forerunner?

Unfortnately that won’t happen, because anything they say along those lines will be weaponised by the Tory press.

A bit like Partygate, which was weaponised by the Labour press to death? 

 

The Guardian's Pippa Cretin STILL goes on about it, while conveniently turning a blind eye to Labour's "beergate" in the are conveniently run by Labour PCC Joy Allen (who recently spent £50,000 on a VW Transporter van to enable her to 'engage with the public'.), Corbyn's dinner party, or the fact that many of those in government "partying" were civil servants.

The same Guardian are reporting today that Frank Hester has given a further £5million to the Tories. In spite of his statement that looking at Ms Abbott makes you “want to hate all black women”, adding that the veteran Labour MP “should be shot”.

The Tories say that they will not return the money because Hester apologised for "being rude" about Diane Abbott (but not racist); and that he has shown contrition and we should all move on.

Did Corbyn get done for the dinner party  ?

I don’t think Labour have got anything to shout about in the case of Abbot
