Once again, there has been at least 3 strikes in the past week alone.

Why do people keep thinking Labour are going to build a time machine?

Or that anyone has remotely suggested they are perfect.

Where does this rubbish keep coming from and why do some of you insist on repeating it as though it's fact?

So UNITE giving Labour £3 million will mean what?
They will have more power than before due to the fact Corbyn was hard left and Blair was in the centre.
Stop trying to reassure people when you know under Labour there will be loads of strikes and hardship for normal people not under the red flag protection.

I also think Labour being pro-workers' rights would tend to mean less need for strikes as employees won't be getting shafted.

If people want others to take Labour seriously maybe sneering dismissiveness torwards people who have their doubts? I am worried about the amount the Labour Party would borrow in Government. I do have concerns about nationalisation and the pressure it would put on public finances. I'm not comfortable will the power unions have over the leadership and the role of Momentum.

Does this mean I'm going to vote Conservative on Thursday? No. It does mean I have concerns with Labour. And whilst I understand the argument we have to choose between the devil and deep blue sea it doesn't mean the weaknesses of one side shouldn't be ignored.

Hush dear boy, these pp]oor simpletons have been brought up on a diet of how awful Labour have been.

Was it not a Labour government who introduced the bubonic plague, and twice caused honest folk to rebel against the poll tax of the 1300s and the late 80's ?

Did they not defraud doctors by making them work unpaid in the failed Stalinist NHS? Did Barbara Cstle not take free school milk from childten ? And if you are Gay how can you forget the Labour government outlawing homosexuality in 1967, and enforcing that with section 28.

Remember thoufg, it is truly an Alice through the Looking Glass world that Tory voters exist in. Black is white, truth is lies and work will make you free.

Rather disturbing to think that we seem not to have learned anything from Orwell's two books........................ well some anyway.

Are you old enough to remember it?

There is a real fear, and it is not unreasonable, that a union and momentum dominated labour, with a Corbyn socialist figurehead is a recipe for all these issues and more.

We are between a turd and another turd, so far as this election is concerned.

Do you not think it's beyond weird that many are still more concerned about a perceived fear than one that has been undoubtedly proven time and again though?

I've said the same as plenty of others, in that I'm not convinced by this present version of Labour, but when faced of the certainty that is the current guise of Toryism then I am willing to take that chance.

I think all parties are as bad as each other, they all promise everything and deliver nothing useful.

I just particularly can’t take Corbyn and his ideologies seriously.

i remember things very well of the 70s as born in 1949. the 70s when people could afford a house , no food banks, the doctor use to do house calls, my wife could afford to stay home to bring the children up( which was her wish ) we use to have a police station in our town which was manned by 4 policemen , people didnt need 3 jobs to live, most of all ipswich town were a force in the land and i was in my 20s not 70

forensic experts say footers and spruces fingerprints were not found at the scene after the weekends rows

As someone who wasn’t old enough to be around back then, and has never really seen the unions in action, could you explain something to me:

Why would a Labour government, more ‘in thrall’ to the unions and, at least ostensibly, far more focused on workers’ rights, lead to more strike action?

I must be missing something as this doesn’t make sense to me at all. Surely strikes are more likely when there is conflict between workers and the state (at least for the public sector) which is surely far more likely under a Tory government?

Genuine question as I’ve seen lots of scaremongering about a Labour government leading to enormous increases in strikes but I’m confused.

Absolutely weird. Paranoia fuelled by a partisan tabloid media trumps reality these days. Scary stuff.
