    laughable to think its the fault of the EU and listening to all the right wing media and the far right torys and the worst of all workingclass torys its all Mr Corbins fault.
    what workers rights have been slashed zero hours been around for decades its called agency work.

    food banks been around for years and they will be around for many more years.

    who said its corbyns fault ive not seen anything to suggest its corbyns fault brown was the one to blame borrowing billions more than he could afford to payback he caused the austerity we have today labour bailed the banks out by 850 billion that caused austerity too. corbyn was too busy back then playing friends with terrorists around the world.

    Let me just pose 3 questions to you YB
    1 Have you ever worked for an agency?
    2 Have you ever had to use a food bank?

    But not to worry as our PM has recently announced an end to austerity
    so
    3 how do you square that with your view that food banks will be around for many more years

    BTW this is not in any way intended to support Corbyn who I happen to think is a liability to the Labour party

    These City finance lads know what's coming--second referendum, public vote to remain, freedom fo them to carry on mekkin billions as befooar and an increasing gap between rich and poor and North and South.
    The pound barely moved on the defeat of the May deal. That's because the city, just like you and I and just about everyone else knew weeks ago that it would be. The vote confirmed what we already knew. The pound fell sharply after the referendum and has stayed broadly in the same place since.

    The City lads ed already "factored in" the rising pound before the vote and made millions buying at the lower price and selling as it rose.
    Shud be time for the Annual "Bonus" payments as well soon. Happy Days and no Food Banks for those lads.

    There were winners and losers on the referendum vote. It was a difficult call and anyone who took a position that relied upon a ‘no’ vote would have taken a hit. I took a defensive position, but made a mint buying Royal Dutch Shell shares on the morning after the referendum (overdrawing to do so) and selling them a couple of weeks later when the fuss had died down and the price had recovered. I took the risk and did well out of it. Some didn’t. And before anyone gets 'holier than thou' about it, it’s no different to having a punt at the bookies.

    My view is that the whole affair has been managed since the referendum to that end & I said so on here in September
    May is just a patsy & willing but gullible sacrificial lamb

    The EU's tactics ev been to use May (a pushover) to "negotiate" a "deal" where they ev set the agenda at ivvery step and made it impossible fo the deal to be voted through. Why should the EU want rid of the country that pays a large proportion of the EU Budget bill and is a big importer of their stuff ? They will be p1ssing themselves in Brussels and evvin an extra long Champagne lunch. Job done fo them.
