Yet more Conservative manifesto rubbish

Police cutbacks.

Interesting paper reviews last night and this morning on two different channels with for once (the reviewers are often right-wing biased, reviewing right-wing biased newspapers). There was intelligent comment about why people, presumably the Tories as they seem to be pushing this at the moment, should not be trying to use Corbyn's past contacts of 30 years ago in today's election.

Not that I think that will stop the Theresa May Party (which I predict will become the Conservatives again over the last weeks as they try to play her down) saying whatever they think will win the election - truth or lies, or as we have seen from May fake 'truth'.

Yes gg I see that she is beginning to lose her status as Presidential May.

Osborne is accusing her of retreating from international liberalism, and many Tories are annoyed at her anti- business rhetoric. Of course they are all worried at the disaster that is the manifesto.

She has bungled nearly everything she has done since acquiring the prime ministership. Lessons should have been learned from her long unsuccessful term as Home Secretary.

I'm glad you made sense of my post whitewave. That first sentence is a bit garbled but I think you get the meaning!

When I saw the reviews last night, I was thinking that they were trying really hard to be negative but they couldn't be.
They seemed quite surprised at how well Labour is doing.
It felt a bit like a pat on the head.

It was the first time I felt that they had stopped being able to say anything they wanted about Corbyn and the Labour Party and it would go unchallenged and, conversely, they found they could not say exaggerated things about May without that being picked up on the comments.

I was really impressed with Ellie Mae O'Hagan; have you come across her before Jen?

I didn't see the reviews as I'm a lark so too knackered to stay up late (for me).

Yes, she's an editor on Open Democracy, one of my favourite websites, GracesGran.

I thought there had been a moratorium on electioneering last week. Obviously not.
I think the Tories might have made a mistake, talking about Corbyn's death tax.

Signed up Jen. I hope they send out emails

She also writes in the Guardian.

Open Democracy is where I get lots of information about the NHS, and basic income.

Amber Rudd hasn't changed her view about how we keep the public safe - get rid of 10,000 police officers?

Have you noticed that Amber Rudd is going on the leaders TV debate instead of May?
Can't be trusted?

I hope Labour put Keir Starmer in.

The Tories have admitted their manifesto was rubbish and they need to concentrate on Brexit to get voted back in.

"Have you noticed that Amber Rudd is going on the leaders TV debate instead of May?

No I hadn't seen that. So May knows she can't cope. And this is the woman who wants to negotiate with the EU?
And Corbyn can't be there if she won't, I wonder who he will delegate in his stead, John McDonnell maybe, he is a good speaker.

Seriously dj ??!! Well that says everything you need to know then doesn't it

As Thatcher would have said "SHE IS FRIT"!!!!!!!!

McDonald who called fellow labour MP's - f*****g losers , this from the stage in the O2 , is a good speaker ?

Like I said, I hope it's Keir Starmer. He'll put Amber Rudd in her place.

"McDonald who called fellow labour MP's - f*****g losers , this from the stage in the O2 , is a good speaker ?"

How long ago was this, Annie? And who was the audience? Sometimes such language is appropriate.

(Unlike my MP who told a schoolgirl to "f**k off back to Scotland" )

And that was quite recently, yggd, just this month, I think, in Somerset. Her dad was rather upset.

Human and a good speaker; I think I would rather have that the those who can only speak the party line.

By the way, has anyone seen Hammond lately?
McDonnell said he would debate him anytime, anywhere.

I haven't seen him since he said that China was our natural trading partner!
