I will not be watching this pile of horse (bleep) as I know they will tell a pack of lies with a good helping of BS. I am going to stick a movie on my day off.

I should imagine it will be rather 'entertaining'.

Even though still in early retirement it would appear he has retained the capability of picking a winner.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell has said workers and consumers would "take back control" under a new business model if Labour wins the election.

In a speech in Westminster, he said company boards would include workers and elected members, giving them greater influence over pay structure.

And public sector chief executives would not be allowed to earn more than 20 times someone on the living wage.

That would mean a maximum salary of about £350,000.

The plans were part of an overall vision to create a business model that was not based on the "unfettered pursuit of profit maximisation".

He's either read this in the little red Mao book he admits he carries around him or fancies himself as the modern day 'Citizen Smith'

We will negotiate a new deal and we will have a real referendum

Something like that was what I heard the leader of Labour party saying in this head to head debate on Danish tv.

I can't remember if he said real or genuin

It made me wonder though..was the referendum you held in 2016 not real or genuin ?

Boris didn't perform as well as I expected and Steptoe performed better than I expected but Boris edged it if for nothing more than repeatedly teasing Steptoe as to how he would vote in a second referendum.

Exactly. As just of all Express UK wrote in june 2019:

"Putin would like to see Britain outside of Europe."

"... would like to have Britain in an alliance against Europe, because of the EU’s values of free speech and liberalism are seen as real threats to his form of power."

I get the impression the voters were turned off by their same old lacklustre BS, any luck more and more people will not vote for these liars.

Twitter has said the Conservative Party misled the public through the rebranding.

Don't tell that morron Raab that as he would say only Labour misleads the voters.


For crying out loud give me a party that will tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth then I will vote for them. This lot we have now are a bloody disgrace a total sham that clearly has no problem telling lies. How can I trust any of them, stop the lies!
