Corbyn: Labour is committed to renewing Trident

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39984070

I think someone needs to make up their mind and quickly.

Until he comes to power and puts the whole thing on the back burner. Nothing new there as they all play that card giving their excuses.

General election 2017: Labour will 'in effect' end benefit freeze

When pushed about what level of economic growth would be needed for Labour to deliver its plans, Mr McDonnell insisted the party's proposals were "completely cost neutral... because for everything you put in, you get the money back".

Would love to see some hard facts and figures to back the above up.

Tory Minister Admits He Has No Idea How Many Pensioners Will Lose The Winter Fuel Allowance

Damian Green struggled to defend the lack of detail in the Tory manifesto

When asked where the Tories were going to find an extra £8billion promised for the NHS, Green suggested it would not be new cash, and said: “A lot of it is retargeted money from within the system”

Well we know one thing you slimeball it won't be coming from your top 10% earners or your tax dodging companies you're so fond of will it, this is just your typical Tory scum in action, vote for you pillocks?, not a chance you scumbags.

May had been on course for a landslide with a majority of up to 150 seats, opinion polls had indicated in the early stages of campaigning ahead of the June 8 national vote.
Four polls on Saturday however showed the Conservatives with an expected vote share of between 44 and 46 percent, still easily ahead of the Labour Party on 33 to 35 percent, but pointing to a smaller projected majority of about 40 seats.

May is losing the grey vote and its the grey vote that really counts.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been criticised after he refused five times to directly condemn the IRA in an interview with Sky News.

Jim can you throw any light on JC's reasons why he would not?

You can bash 'Labour' as much as you want, or like Ukip and Farage.
For me it does not make much sense.

The Tories publish a manifesto that says what they will do, without presenting any numbers or how to finance that. Out of the single market and "hard brexit" and sh!t on Scotland and Ireland. Bravo!
Labour publishes a paper where they exactly say how they want to finance their plans. But they are all idiots!

Then this "election" next time, May has always ruled out holding an election, because it would bring additional uncertainty to the UK at a time when continuity was needed.
May is not popular, she has no mandate, the opposition is as weak as never and she sees a chance to move the UK to the right.
Does no one see what is being done there?

Then that: Uk should be the global leader in internet regulation:
"The plans will allow Britain to become "the global leader in the regulation of the use of personal data and the internet", the manifesto claims."

Clear as mud. Tories/Rights want to bring up the tide against Corbyn, because they hope voters will be outraged blahblah.

"Mr Wallace, who served as an Army officer in Northern Ireland, said: "People up and down the country will rightly be outraged that Jeremy Corbyn won't unequivocally condemn the IRA for the bloodshed, bombs and brutal murders they inflicted on a generation of innocent people."

No wonder some Security Minister Wallace says that. What do you expect from a former army officer, now in security? I guess they just could not find any Irish person for a comment.
So, BS. Corbyn directly says he condemns the bombing, but he also clearly sees what went wrong back then. He obviously wants to keep the door open, since the last the UK needs now is an uprising of the militant IRA due to Mays snobbing and the course out of the EU, on which Ireland and Scotland now have to follow. Because of England.

I gave up trying to understand what Corbyn was about the day after he became the leader of my party but a quick Google search will unearth the number of meetings and rallies he has attended that were pro-terrorist.

All of that his his business and certainly none of mine.

Nothing new there, personal data is being collected here there and every where and also being stolen off your PC's. No doubt some one has had a good snoop around on mind and tough luck I keep all sensitive and personal stuff off my PC. I said it years ago your personal information is the new currency, and it is going to get worst world wide.

The Prime Minister has climbed down on her social care reform after an angry backlash over the so-called "dementia tax".

Theresa May has announced there will be an "absolute limit" on how much people will have to pay for their social care in a watering down of her reform, announced at the party manifesto launch less than a week ago.

Hmmm that 150 now looking like 40 has caused a flap at Tory HQ.

Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said: "This is May's Manifesto Meltdown - in a matter of days she has gone from Margaret Thatcher to Corporal Jones. It's more don't panic Captain Mainwaring than strong and stable."

I thought the above was great

Anyone not yet registered in the UK has until midnight tonight to do so.

PM May was clearly rattled and out the comfort zone.
