Funny how all the media chastised Miliband for this, only to now say how great it is...

Ecstatic. And you must be furious.


This is the only policy we've heard from May since she called an election apart from strong,stable government and she's stolen a "marxist" policy from Labour!


Really highlights what a bunch of charlatans they are.

I'm not really one to moan about the mainstream media, but May is really getting off colossally lightly at the moment.

May has campaigned locally to abolish the parking charges at her local hospital. Not a word.

And the lack of comment on her wholesale purloining of a (popular, but certainly-not-free-market) Miliband policy is somewhat surprising.

Plus she's not debating Corbyn, hardly meeting the public and barely answering the media's questions. But the media are so worried about being denied the limited access they do have they just follow along.

That's not the first Milband policy she has nicked. The "list" of foreign workers was another.

Yep. Dimbleby this morning effectively excusing their decision to not go ahead with a live debate on the grounds of it not being impartial. If the Beeb invited all leaders to a debate they are being impartial. If May then decides to not attend, that's nothing to do with the Beeb. It shouldn't be used as an excuse to scrap a format and change it to something that May wants instead.

Michael Crick of Channel 4 sums up how they're controlling the media here.

What shocks me is reporters collaborate with May press team by agreeing to reveal their questions to them in advance

Michael Crick @MichaelLCrick
Only pre-arranged journalists get questions at May events. Those chosen asked by May aide to state Qs in advance

Michael Crick @MichaelLCrick
One reporter told me May aides made clear if he didn't state his question in advance then he wouldn't get a question


Michael Crick @MichaelLCrick

I was told by May aide I wasn't on list to ask May a question, & there was no point in putting my hand up to ask one

But you realise the media article doesn't say how great it is and that it's a watered down milliband idea and that the other parties have rubbished it?

You should ask Ken Livingstone for his view on that.

Although your man Corbyn has effectively turned the UK into a one party state so you may be on to something.

Not really. She was asked the question after the Mirror put it on their front page this morning.

This shouldn't come as any surprise. A free vote on repealing the fox hunting ban has been in the last 3 Tory manifestos. So the Mirror front page of ‘secret Tory plot’ to bring back hunting is a bit of a non story.

It's extreme control freakery. Stage managed not to make a single slip up.

And it's done for one simple reason. She has such a massive lead in the polls that there is absolutely no reason to take any chances.

The only thought in her mind is how big a landslide it will be.

To be fair they are all charlatans.

They steal policies of each other all the time, this is nothing new.
