Former leadership rival Owen Smith appointed to Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary in Jeremy Corbyn’s reshuffle

Announcing the changes to his Shadow Cabinet, Mr Corbyn said: “I am delighted to announce four appointments to fill shadow cabinet vacancies. I look forward to working with the strengthened shadow cabinet as we prepare a government in waiting to carry out our manifesto for the many not the few.

It's easy to say a different system has different university fees. I do know the whole German education system is different - it's highly academically segregated and only the academic go to university there - around 20 - 25%. I'm not sure such a system would be accepted in the UK.

Orwell tells the truth.

Yes, it became 'truth' today in parliament.
Justine Greening attacked Labour with it, at the same time as she was saying schools would be given an extra £1.3 billion - out of the education budget that's already been promised. Efficiency savings!

There has been such a huge brainwashing process Jen. Elsewhere I saw 'we much have capitalism'. That simply isn't true - we could have a different way but more, the implication was that with Jeremy Corbyn we would not have capitalism. Again, just rot as what they are suggesting is just a different type of capitalism.

That tweet highlighted in your link will be retweeted and retweeted until it become 'fact'. The Tories are noticeably following the Donald Trump school of truth these days.

About what Labour put in its manifesto on student fees.

We charge 6% interest shock

Sorry, this is a bit abrupt after the recent posts but I keep seeing people post as if the things the LP have suggested are, I don't know - out of science fiction. This includes students not having to pay fees. Thought this was interesting in regards to that. We seem to be throwing of the European way and going American way.

He is centre left and definately left of the Conservative government he replaced who were fraudulent and carried out numerous anti- democratic actions

Baggs Sun 16-Jul-17 18:26:02

I wondered if it was on another thread too. That explains it.... well, some of it.

Baggs Sun 16-Jul-17 18:24:55

Surely a judgment about whether a country is left-wing or not is subjective. Isn't the current Canadian PM supposed to be more left-wing than his predecessor?

Elegran Sun 16-Jul-17 18:23:54

I thought GN frowned on carrying things across threads?

whitewave Sun 16-Jul-17 18:21:58

Ok

Primrose65 Sun 16-Jul-17 18:21:04

Happy to discuss on the original thread.

whitewave Sun 16-Jul-17 18:18:46

So are you still saying I lied * primrose*?

Primrose65 Sun 16-Jul-17 18:17:16

I didn't make an error whitewave

Making a protest for several days on multiple threads is just confusing for everyone who does not know what you're talking about. It detracts from the topics being discussed.

Elegran Sun 16-Jul-17 18:16:44

The date and time were Sat 15-Jul-17 10:07:28.

Ana Sun 16-Jul-17 18:14:49

Thanks, Baggs. It's still not showing on my screen, but whatever!

whitewave Sun 16-Jul-17 18:14:47

ana yes

GracesGranMK2 Sun 16-Jul-17 18:14:34

Oh for Heavens sake ww what does it matter if a stranger doesn't believe something you or I or anyone else says!

It probably in the same way as your judging someone by your own religion when you have no idea what there's is does. Such remarks are offensive and inappropriate.

Baggs Sun 16-Jul-17 18:14:34

I can't find a post where P is accusing WW of lying or calling her a liar.

I can't find any deleted posts either. In the past the poster's header, i.e. the information thst they'd posted, is usually still there when a post is deleted.

Baggs Sun 16-Jul-17 18:12:08

There is still a post by Primrose containing the phrase "in my books".

Ana Sun 16-Jul-17 18:11:08

Did Primrose actually say 'You are a liar whitewave'? Doubt it.

whitewave Sun 16-Jul-17 18:10:28

All that needs to happen is for the poster to say he/she made an error.

I have done it the past and have been big enough to say sorry, so I expect the same as everyone else on here. We are all adults.

whitewave Sun 16-Jul-17 18:08:34

How many times have you been called a liar ana and rose ?
We may disagree violently at times but I would never do that.

Ana Sun 16-Jul-17 18:08:30

Well, complain to GNHQ. Again.
