    Not with Corbyn as leader.

    After the referendum the Tories will still have four years to pull themselves together.

    Not under Osborne though. Think he has done himself fatal damage here.

    Elwood I well remember back in the late 70's that nobody truly believed that Thatcher would win the General Election. Look what happened. Don't write off Corbyn. Besides the electorate dislike divided parties and the Tory wounds over Europe go deep an fester for years.

    Re: IDS resigns

    This man openly cheered budgeting cuts that John McDonell now say means sick and disabled people will have been burdened with a third of the "savings" by 2021. One suspects this resignation was part of a ploy for a promotion further down the line (though it suggests even Tories feel Osbournes's austerity has made major mistakes) than a moral objection to the poorest, most vulnerable shouldering the recovery while the richest 10% benefit and now earn more before austerity started.

    IDS probably heard you were on the hunt hence his resignation.

    With the stuff you've uncovered over the years he knew he was done for, only a matter of time before there was an I.D.SConscienceGate....

    The thing is that Labour are a divided party themselves. Whatever anyone thinks of Jeremy Corbyn, he was elected as leader by a huge majority among those entitled to vote and it's time the prima donnas in the party who won't accept that decision started to act like the democrats they claim to be.

    Re: IDS resigns

    Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has responded to Iain Duncan Smith's resignation on the Today programme. He says the amount the Conservatives has spent in this area (sick and disabled) is "much more" than under Labour governments. He also points to increases in pensions and the national living wage that he says will "benefit everybody, not just the few".
    Isn't this a bit like saying that women are paid much more than under governments in the 80's? The fact that disabled people are still saying they're shouldering the brunt of the budget cuts is more damning than you saying you're spending more than a previous government. "If it is about benefiting everybody, not just the few" then why does the raise in minimum wage (it isn't a living wage) not benefit those under 25 and housing benefit is being cut from most of those under 21?

    Pension changes that have let down (betrayed?) women born in the 1950's.

    Doctors and Teachers and Police, oh my! IDS my have claimed to have resigned over the poorest, most vulnerable being singled out but you can add the police force to those who are saying they're at threat of being overworked because of politically designed shake-ups: https://www.change.org/p/london-mayo...politan-police

    LOL.

    Jeremy Corbyn.

    The guy is a very decent person but will never get anywhere near leading this country. I couldn't vote for him and have never voted for anyone bar Labour. (Oh and Margo )
