Corbyns Inertia

I didn't mention Iran Primrose. I suggest you ask Wally.

Where are you getting your info from GG? I'd be interested to learn more about Corbyns links to Iran.

Political opponents said ...

Doesn't that tell you everything.

I think you'll wait a long time for Corbyn to condemn the violence because of his links with Iran.

Still only getting your information only from MSM Wally? Something is certainly leading to a slightly weird view. Not surprisingly, I suppose, you only pick up on what echoes your own rather extreme views. You seem to have missed Corbyn recently winning a Peace Prize oh and his long membership and Chairmanship of the Stop the War Coalition - that seems to have passed you by too.

I imagine his interest in peace will annoy you just as much as your thoughts that he has none as you seem to just want to paint him as you want him to be.

Corbyn's reason for not attending.

"Mr Corbyn was invited to attend but declined, telling SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford in a letter that he was wrong to suggest the single market “is a membership club”.

The Labour leader wrote: “Your proposed summit appears to be based on the flawed assumption that the single market is a membership club – it is not.

“We have consistently said that we are committed to negotiating to keep the benefits of the single market and securing the best possible deal for the whole of Britain, which protects the economy and the people of this country, whilst at the same time respecting the result of the referendum.

“Therefore, Labour will not attend your meeting.” "

It's not just politicians you wait for Wally. You still haven't explained socialism for me.

From the Independent today:

Jeremy Corbyn has come under fire for refusing to attend a cross-party summit of MPs aimed at keeping the UK in the EU single market.

Political opponents said the Labour leader was “utterly pathetic” and “failing millions of working people” by continuing to argue that Britain should quit the trading bloc after Brexit.

The Scottish National Party (SNP) accused Labour of “siding with Tory extreme Brexiteers”.

It comes as Mr Corbyn faces renewed pressure over his Brexit stance after a new poll revealed 87 per cent of Labour members want the UK to stay in the single market and customs union.

The meeting has been arranged for next Tuesday by the SNP.

Yes, GracesGran, I thought it was about the Scandinavian countries.

What has Boris said?
I'd rather he didn't say anything, as Nazanin is still in prison, along with a few other UK citizens.
Don't want him to be responsible for extending their punishment.

I think you'll wait a long time for Corbyn to condemn the violence because of his links with Iran. I truly believe that politicians are incapable of being honest, they bend any which way that suits them.

I wasn't writing about the EU. You did not reply about the EU. You replied about the social democratic countries I mention and you still have not added fact to the reply Chewbacca. That was all I asked about.

They might if they referred to what you were saying Chewbacca.

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." Corbyn criticising May (about Trump) in January last year.

Still waiting for the token condemnation of 'all violence in Iran'.

But it's a meeting for leaders of the opposition parties Jen. That's not Keir Starmer, yet. That's why he was not invited and Corbyn was.

How silly. Corbyn doesn't need to attend. Keir Starmer is the shadow Brexit secretary.

His allotment is really well tended. He's got too much time on his hands

Corbyn has refused to attend an opposition cross-party Brexit summit organised by the SNP next week. Apparently, they're going to empty chair him.

His sunflowers are better than my sunflowers, although not as tall.

No bananas on the allotment Jalima
But a picture of the Glorious Leader will cheer everyone up!

Oh! That kind of makes sense petra!

Chewbacca
It's neither the triviality of the Portuguese economy or the banana. It was exposing the eu that got to Gracesgran.

I think the link is socialism, Portugal and Corbyn Gracesgran.

sorry:

www.eurofound.europa.eu/observatories/eurwork/articles/working-conditions-labour-market/portugal-high-and-rising-emigration-in-a-context-of-high-but-decreasing-unemployment

Perhaps this would be more informative:

Portugal has the highest emigration rate as a proportion of population in the European Union. More than two million Portuguese people (20% of the population) now live outside the country. It is estimated that more than 485,000 workers left Portugal between 2011 and 2014 to seek better living and working conditions. The demographics have changed recently, with a greater proportion of emigrants having higher qualifications. This is closely linked with the destruction of jobs and labour market deterioration, which has resulted in very high unemployment.

Oh dear, were my links fake?

One was from the Algarve Daily News.
