They didn't choose her, it was uncontested
I remember watching that live at uni. Not great, but it is ~9 years old...Classy women!
What do you think is funny about my post?
Why do you think they chose her? I mean, should'nt have to explain that people that get into these positions don't get into them by being dumb or a lay about.
"The Labour Party will put an extra £8 billion into the social care system over the course of the next Parliament. We will create a National Care Service. We will put a maximum limit on lifetime personal contributions to care costs, raise the threshold below which people are entitled to state support and provide free end of life care."
The tory mp's voted for May, overwhelmingly.
They didn't have a final vote, Leadsom withdrew from the race and May was appointed without a vote
I'm not liking the direction the Tories are going but Labour with the likes of Corbyn and Abbott in a position of power genuinely concerns me.
Thinking about the above, i'll have to vote Tory.

I've heard this line a lot, what is it specifically you find concernig? Specifics hear not a vague sense of concern.
Not being argumentative as I've heard this a lot and the few times I've drilled into it (using my work day productively with other staff) most people cannot define what it is. It's just a peddled line with no real foundations, though of course this my not be the case with yourself.
I just find the personal attacks boring and equally as easy to poke holes in the Cons line up if you are so inclined.

Are you surprised the media is twisting what he's said to suit their narrative?
And where is the additional funding to come from? All these proposals currently come from the 5% above 80k or the corporation tax increases.
The conservative proposal at least directs the cost to the appropriate source even if the lifetime cap is not currently explicit and subject to consultation.
An increase in funding from an indefinite source is not an increase IMO.
Already we have:
Removal of tuition fees
Additional funding for healthcare
Additional funding for 2-4 year olds
Additional funding for social care.
Increases in state benefits
Removal of public sector pay caps and inflation increases for all staff
Increased access for football at grass roots level FFS.
Out of an increase in taxation above. The corporate tax increase will likely increase prices and lead to inflation. If not a general reduction in activity in the UK.
He only allows that because he's been a weak leader and needed to placate his MPs. I guarantee you that the realities of government will necessitate the usual three-line whip on his flagship policies.
I honestly don't think the Labour manifesto is worth the paper it's written on. You're telling me that a cabinet led by Corbyn, McDonnell, and Abbot are going to implement the parts of the manifesto they don't agree with? E.g. Trident? I don't think so.
My take from this debate is that the Scottish situation with regards what they get for free (NHS prescriptions etc) is simply unsustainable.
I don't care for the devolved government issue top be honest, why should the rest of the country face austerity measures and the Scots get off, well scot-free.
Who is going to invest in Corbyn's Britain? Not many people I'd say - in the past Corbyn might have looked to attract investment from foreign socialist governments in Cuba and Venezuela, but Cuba is now transitioning to democracy and Venezuela is in a whole new world of pain. That means no jobs for people, no hope.
