It will be interesting to see how many of those policies make it into their manifesto and whether, as promised, they are costed out. Also what their own policy is on Brexit.

I honestly can't recall what MF said. Bottom line is I don't mind discussing politics but I have no time for the vitriol that some want to engage in. It's tiresome. If people only want a left conversation that's fine. I'm quite content having the odd read now and then.

Regarding the NHS I really don't think anyone does have the answer. Lots of governments have tinkered and made it worse. As for Labour who knows. Politics has become so unpredictable. Corbyn won't go until the leadership rules are changed allowing another "hard left" candidate onto the ballot. At that point it's always going to be momentums party and it's game over as an electable party. That will probably lead to either an amalgamation with the liberals or a new centre left party. A split never materialised because nobody wanted to lose the Labour brand. If it's "crushed" as the polls predict (not forgetting the impact of 2018 boundary changes), then the brand is not that important. Having said all that, after Brexit and a Trump, anything can happen. Prime Minister Corbyn maybe only weeks away.

Not at all. I'm saying most voters realise that nobody has the answers yet to solving the NHS's many difficulties.

A one party state In the last 20 odd years we've had: 13 years of Labour government. 5 years of coalition. 2 years of conservative. Perspective?

If I may say so you are being a bit blinkered. I for one watched his speech this morning. It's the oldest trick in the book when in opposition to simply point out what's not right in the world and claim you'll throw money at it. Most "floating" voters know this and are only persuaded when there's real vision and a professional alternative laid out for them. Most people realise that the NHS is struggling for lots of reasons (older population, new treatments, expensive drugs, PFI payments etc) and realise an extra billion here or there isn't really going to change much. When he can't win the support of his MP's, when polls show a vast majority of LABOUR voters have more confidence in May than him, when, after 7 years of austerity, he is 24 points behind in the polls, it's him that's the problem and not the Daily Mail. Corbyn / McDonnell is not the dream ticket.

He couldn't, he's not a "leader" and the Labour Party is not fit for purpose. He seems a very pleasant chap and is probably a great constituency MP, but that's it. Hopefully he's yesterday's man after the election and the Labour Party will have the opportunity to find their way ready for 2032.

A foreign object that outstayed its welcome silencing a discussion on immigration

Aye Renton, don't dare disobey Alex or Gemmill. It's their board and control freaks gotta control. Gets you off the brown and Miliband hook I suppose

Just press the ignore but man. Jesus you're like a little girl.

Give over man. Brown Miliband

I don't remember this outcry when labour had these ideas When Brown wanted British jobs for British workers or when Miliband wanted to report companies with too many migrants.

Ooh you smooth talker you

May about to unleash Keynesian fiscal policy on the UK. (According to Newsnight). I feel a flop coming on

Overall superb speech. Tanks well and truly parked on centre ground. (Even centre left according to a few BBC political analysts). Calls Labour out for its divisiveness and sanctimonious goings on and re-brands it the nasty party. 172 MP's will be feeling even sicker after this. As she rightly pointed out though, talk is easy, it's the doing that's tough. But if she does indeed turn words into action, she's going to be a great PM.

Watching Mays speech. "A change is gonna come"!

I'd need to hear a bit more of the detail rather than OMG'ing at the headlines. I think it's probably brought on / aimed at weeding out companies like Sports Direct who try to bring in lots of foreign agency workers because they'll work for nowt.

Dianne James apparently quit as UKIP leader already. Stephen Woolfe should get himself in for it. Was very good on Question Time last week.

That's the crux right there. Continuing free trade is the least detrimental thing that can happen for all 500 million.
