Dear Conservative Voters,

There is proving to be a problem with some of the insulation which was fitted under that scheme.
Some are asking for it to be removed as it is causing damp.

In your echo chambers, maybe Callistemon and Trueblue22. Where I live and work, people are despondent at another 5 years of cuts and ignoring of the poor and needy.

Of course Monica it is justifiable to smirk at someone who has just suffered a humiliating defeat...that’s OK for the English then.

The reason JC looked pissed off was he had just been told that workers rights were among other things stripped from the Brexit Bill.

What a man!

Such a nasty picture of Boris. He looks most devious and evil!!

Corbyn refused any small talk apparently, so I don’t blame Johnson for the secretly amused smile to camera.
Corbyn has no grace in defeat, however he feels privately he should put on a show at the least. That’s what McDonnell and others are doing, but Corbyn just can’t bring himself to do it.

Monica, interpretation matters. I thought Corbyn looked serious and thoughtful. I thought " Corbyn carries the heavy burden of opposition to very strong right wing rule".

He smiled at a reporter he didnt give corbyn a wedgie!

As I'm sure most on here know, I was a huge Corbyn advocate. But I think he has been broken by the election. I feel for him. He's strong, because he's going to keep going until his replacement is in place, although probably at a deleterious cost to his peace of mind I think. The ferocious and unprecedented attacks and the viciousness of the media towards him has played a part and the defeat on top of that...

I wish the man well. He's a great MP and I think his constituents are very lucky to have him. A true egalitarian.

Pictures today of Corbyn slamming his car door like a petulant child rather than speak to a reporter.

Read it & weep. The withdrawal bill published just 24 hours before Parliament has to vote on it (!!!!!) with 'protections on workers’ rights, unaccompanied refugee children & parliament’s say over the future relationship stripped out.'

Btw instant mashed potatoes was mentioned by my food bank and tinned potatoes as a lot of families can't afford to cook it (fuel costs) and if people want to have a go for store brands, 20 quid stretch a lot further with store brands than branded products in fancy wrapping

Thank you for putting that picture up. It put a smile on my face, again Thank you ?

Good tips re: food banks Grany. Thank you. I always chuck in a few tins. I'll add potatoes to the list. Anything else you suggest? I usually go for beans, pasta sauce, pasta, instant hot water pasta. I might add some sweets, for children.

I did Crisis at Christmas once. One of the best Christmas' I've ever had. NOT because of the charity aspect but the fun I had with the attendees.

Lidl is great as you can buy a lot for a reasonable sum for the food bank.
Also Tesco seem to be doing a brand which is very reasonable plus their own cereals are often three for two. And their long life milk (we sometimes buy it).
They are often made by the same manufacturer as the branded goods anyway.

Tins of fruit - they are often short of them.

Squash (the cordials)

Why don’t you all open up a food bank thread to chat about your ideas?

People who open food banks do not chat about ideas. They work towards preventing hunger in one of the richest countries in the world.

And this is ok?

im glad labour lost its seat in my town now we may get something done round here, 15 years of labour, no more

Sorry, Urmstongran!

Don't forget toiletries toothpaste, soap etc

I will now beat a hasty retreat.

Buy the latest Christmas charity song, with a naughty title – and a serious message {EXTREME LANGUAGE
“What a lark”: Jarvis Cocker is thrilled that his song is the centre of the campaign – and all proceeds will go to Shelter.

Campaigners are hoping to rebuild an atmosphere of “inclusivity, representation, love, acceptance and kindness” – by getting a song to the top of the Christmas charts called C*nts Are Still Running The World.

A Facebook group has been launched to get the song to Number One and it seems that people are joining the campaign in a big way – as a comment on the Conservative general election victory earlier this month.

And the great news is that all proceeds will go to Shelter, to help relieve the huge homelessness crisis that has been created by Conservatives like Boris Johnson.

If you’re unfamiliar with this particular opus, here it is (be warned: the lyrics feature one word that many consider to be extremely strong language):

Did you like that?

If so, buy it here: uk.7digital.com/artist/jarvis-cocker/release/running-the-world

Yes J.C has taken a lot of stick that is true, but I don't think anyone has taken more ridicule and downright nastiness than Theresa May during her premiership, and she managed to at least observe rudimentary good manners toward her political opponents when the occasion demanded it!

I think that especially at xmas more than ever it would be a good idea to give essentials something for the food banks located in supermarkets many starving people in this country.

Grany, I heard on the radio a man talking about a silly song and the proceeds are going to the Trussel Trust? Something about sausage rolls?

Ladbaby (do the sausage roll song. There was also a 2018 sausage roll song so pick the 2019 one!)
