More of a left winger, but he can play in the centre when needed. |  |

Think I've heard that said of someone else who then produced 3 of the most enjoyable years out of the last 20 Just wonder how long before the twitter bots start accusing him of using drugs / rent boys or whatever other smear crsp they come up with |  |

this is it, essentially the only way to fix this situation is to either dramatically punish the weakest in society and cut benefits, or introduce a wealth tax. I think we all know what option they're going to go for... |  | |  |

You're almost there... I agree, so wouldn't it be disastrous if a Labour government continued down that path? |  | |  |

| Andy Burnham gonna be any good for us en? (n/t) on 14:35 - Jul 20 with 2729 views | vinceg | Odd first policy announcent, looking to end rough sleeping in London because it feels like he's given Nige and Kemi an open goal after pledging to do that in Manchester by 2020 and failing. The numbers did come down a lot but have risen for the last 4 years albeit not quite so much as some parts of the country. Perhaps trying to endear himself to us southerners but I would've picked something more achieveable. Anyway, let's see what he's got. |  | |  |

When helping out the poorest in the world, (and increasing soft power) is seen as making someone dangerous the world has gone bonkers Cretinous statement |  | |  |

Of course, he won’t be doing that will he. Help with the cost of living crisis, bringing utilities into public ownership, a big council house building programme, helping young people to get jobs and with their mental health. Not bad aims on day 1 are they? We aren’t getting a radical left wing government which is a pity, but it’s got to be better than the alternatives surely? (even with Mahmood in no 11) |  | |  |

It's a good holistic viewpoint to take. Foreign Aid comes with so many tangible and intangible benefits, ranging from the global reputation of UK PLC, to the UK not having to bear the brunt of issues and incidents that have been resolved or prevented thanks to the investment in Foreign Aid. The best example I can think of is if you live in a terraced house, and your neighbour's house has some serious issues going on that will definitely affect your house if left unchecked. They can't afford to do anything about it, but you certainly have the means to help them out without massively impacting your financial position. You're under no obligation to contribute to the cost of works, but it's certainly in your interest to do so. Reducing/removing Foreign Aid is one of those lovely quick 'red meat' wins for Farage and his ilk, but it's a very short term view that trades populism off against the longer-term impact.
