Should I vote Labour Mark 11

Perhaps in five years, when the Labour Party sorts itself out ( or most of the MP's
Decide to break away and form a centre Party) it will have a chance of winning a GE.
Not everbody is going to vote for T May because they love all the policies ( although they might like some, we haven't seen them yet, so can't judge) but because a Corbyn led government is too awful to contemplate.

The building industry liked Labour's manifesto.

Labour spending and tax calculations.

I heard a Today programme journalist attacking the Tory's economic record - and it needs attacking and highlighting.

I was listening to the R4 10pm news programme and the LP spending plans seemed to be well supported. Verdict seemed to be "Not perfect, but doable"

Well, what spending plans, Labour or Tory, are ever perfect or doable?

Better than being ignored!

Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut
(me, I mean )

Er...yes!

That's my point.

Or eats shoots and leaves

Or perhaps, "May, you live in interesting times"

Eats, shoots and leaves......

"May you live in interesting times"

Now I have had time to think about the manifesto overnight and it certainly offers something different and something where the majority of citizens are taken into account instead of just worrying about big business. Obviously business is important but to get to the stage where we protect business while people die or are destitute and where we don't put the necessary infrastructure in has to be taken into account and, for the first time in some years, I heard a Today programme journalist attacking the Tory's economic record - and it needs attacking and highlighting.

We now have two completely different offerings instead of Conservative and Conservative light so people have a choice. I find the LP offering a little old fashioned when I think of where jobs are going but then the Tories just bury their heads in the sand about the changes so no one is doing very well there.

Interesting times ... we live in interesting times.

I was ashamed and embarrassed by the Corbyn Panto yesterday . Not a scrape of dignity , far more like one of those tv talent shows than the launch of a political party's manifesto.

Corbyns image is not the fault of the press, they didn't force him to do traingate, to behave like an aged pop star surrounding himself with women, to hide behind s glass door.

I dread a Tory government , I dread the thought of Corbyn as PM. ,

Reasons to vote Labour.

'The union leader blamed a hostile media for the scale of the task of turning around the leader’s image in the minds of voters, but added that Corbyn would have succeeded even if he won slightly fewer seats than the 229 the party held in the last parliament.'

He's not saying any worse than you do, Annie.

What is McClusky up to? He has said he doesn't think Corbyn will win and will be lucky to win 200 seats

Maizie,i have thought of that too.

Sorry, Annie. I think it could be considerably worse.

Well, I admit this election fills me with fear , I try not to think of those nightmare years under thatcher , surely nothing could be as bad as that again, could it?

Praise indeed for Labour manifesto.

Asbestos is still a huge problem in schools.

We had so much asbestos removed from our school in the first decade of this century that it's a miracle the building didn't collapse!

I'm amazed that it is still a problem; we had a survey done every time anything, however minor, was done to the fabric of the building. Have these schools with a problem still never had any repairs or alterations done?

Pleased to see that Labour pledged to invest in the phased removal of asbestos from existing schools.

It's about time!

Schools built from the 1940s to 1970s are full of asbestos and teachers are one of the groups classified as at high risk of dying from asbestos-related diseases.
