Not an election please

Good post gillybob

The newest ones do 250 miles to a charge and they will no doubt improve.
But I agree about them needing to get even better and also about the £2K. The first thing they need to do is stop production of Diesel engines.

Mind's gone blank Welshwife I will have to ask DH

oh dear

My son uses it for business - his work covers the whole of the south coast from the New Forest through to Kent -

But it isn't a lorry

It was a car (French, pre-2000) supposed to give 45 mpg but never did!

Listening to Corbyn speaking I still don't know if the £10 Minimum Wage will take immediate effect.

The Minimum Wage would creep up anyway so unless he says 'with immediate effect' his promise is tantamount to looking like populist spin.

If it does come into effect immediately it will be financial hardship for those who will lose their jobs and those who will have to ' possibly ' close their business.

As for using the 'doffing of the cap ' comment over and over , the 'going for those at the top and Big Business / Corporations comments Corbyn is merely showing his 1970's/1980's ' Militant ' credentials and relying on stirring up Class Division to get the working mans vote. A lot of people understand the 1% top high tax payers pay 27% into the coffers for public services etc. The old Class Warfare has little to no place these days, again it could create a run of business closures and subsequent job losses.

The working man has moved on in lot's of ways and the good old days of 'The Labour Family'.using the term 'Comrades' is not how they think of themselves as much as it used to be, thank goodness. Although since Corbyn became Leader there has been a resurgence it would appear but only by the core voter/his personal supporters not the general Labour Voter it would appear.

Interesting Jalima. In the pre 2000 Transit there was a problem but Ford only had a couple every few years where the engine stopped due to flooding. Then in 1992 there were a couple of dozen incidents across Europe one weekend. DS had just begun working in their RandD dept and was given the job of sorting it - which he did very successfully. I think the vehicles had a small part added when it had a service. The current Transit is a different model. It is not the engine per se but if it has parts low and exposed.
I find the quietness of electric cars a tad spooky!

This thread has reached 40 pages in less than a week. At this rate even folk like us who are interested in politics might all end up like Brenda from Bristol. Oh no!

More good news for Corbyn. The communist party won't be fielding a candidate because: " the labour leader is so in tune with Its extreme left wing views"

Will you vote for the LP if it is with immediate effect POGS?

No

Do you think those who will/may vote for the LP are asking your question POGS?

"Will you vote for the LP if it is with immediate effect POGS? "

POGS

"NO"

GG

" Do you think those who will/may vote for the LP are asking your question POGS?"

What the hell did you just do if it wasn't asking me a question??

so labour is so in tune with the communist party, nooooooo, Corbyn and the far left are so in tune with the communists, the party is not,

I know, annie whoever would have thought it

I think you misunderstood what I asked POGS. You said you would not vote for the LP if they declared an they would bring in the real living wage immediately.

I then asked if you think the answer to your question asking if the LP would bring in the £10 Minimum Wage will take immediate effect would be one those who may or will vote for the LP are asking, i.e., people who are not like you and have already decided to vote Labour. It is a reasonable question to ask.

Yes, we tell children to 'Stop, Look and Listen and Keep Looking and Listening as you cross the road'.

.petra, I am shocked, realy, realy shocked why would the communist party think they
Are sooooo in tune with the Corbyn-Momentum party. I accept I have said so since I learned Corbyn was running a campaign to get expelled militants and trots back into the party , but this was dismissed as rubbish by some here

I don't think UKIP are likely to do well because the Tories are doing everything they want. Nigel Farage said he was "thrilled" with Theresa May's proposals for Brexit.

In the same way I do not expect to see a sudden surge by the Communist Party. Why should they bother when Jeremy Corbyn is trying to move Labour so far to the left?

Breaking news! The Communist Party is not fielding any candidates. They are endorsing Labour - that says it all - you are right Annie

Thank You varian, how I wished I had been wrong though, but it was so obvious .

Well done the Libs, their membership reached 82,000 in February, highest for two decades, and now in April the membership has increased to over 100,000, on this i am happy when I was right when I said they would make a come back?

It's hardly breaking news that there are to be no Communist candidates standing - you do know how many stood in 2015 don't you? ( 9) . I think some of the posts on here are getting somewhat silly

I was thinking just that, Rigby!

I don't follow one word of your last post to me.

I never mentioned anything about voting for Corbyn 'myself' other than to respond your question which does ask .
