Damage done to the UK ALREADY following the elction

nonsense boogeyman

Boris did vote for austerity measures

Sure thing. He's a big middle of the road, kinda guy.

A fine example of fake news Urmstongran.

According to Johnson's voting record on "They Work For You", Johnson:

a) Has never voted on reducing housing benefit for social tenants deemed to have excess bedrooms (which Labour describe as the "bedroom tax")

b) Almost always voted against paying higher benefits over longer periods for those unable to work due to illness or disability (the only reason it's almost always is because he was absent).

c) Almost always voted for a reduction in spending on welfare benefits (he was absent for four votes, but voted for a reduction 19 times).

How does that make him only right of centre? He has always supported austerity.

Didn't most of the EU adopt austerity?

Post 2008?

Don't think that neither the Conservatives nor Boris can be held responsible for that

The EU adopting austerity post 2008 has nothing to do with the UK government adopting it. That's a real non sequitor, Ug.

Oh, sorry, wrong person. It wass Oopsminty. Apologies, Ug

None of the links are working, what changes to the disability benefits are there.can't find anything about this?

EU citizens who have lived in this country for years, paid taxes and contributed to our communities in many ways are being treated shamefully. Please sign this petition

@Traylos
Thank you #jeremyCorbyn for bringing hope when politics felt and was soulless after Blair, you've never stopped fighting for a equal society for the many, fighting for peace and reaching out to those who'd given up. We/I'm ready to fight for my children'. Socialism has woken

Instead of addressing why they had such a major, unprecedented defeat, that tiny loyal Corbyn band, keep making excuses for him and them. Get a grip, try to make a good opposition you will have plenty of time to get it right.

So us lefties are NOT sore losers or conspiracy theorists. There was some strange amount of fiddling going on. Big time.

A town with less than 7,000 voters; but 41,000 VOTES were counted in a local election, returning a TORY.

And it had to be fought to the HIGH COURT to get it overturned! twitter.com/sulaalice/status/1211757838852337668…

So why was the postal vote so high in the GE much more than in other years?

why do you keep posting the same post???

Wasn't she wonderful
@GretaThunberg

What a year... I won’t even try to summarise it - but nothing would have been possible without your support. So thank you!
This coming decade humanity will decide it’s future. Let’s make it the best one we can.
We have to do the impossible.
So let’s get started.
Happy new year!

Grany Do you get all your opinions from Twitter - or do you sometimes actually think for yourself?

I think we will soon start to reap what we have sown. For decades now this country has been on a decline, with standards dropping all across society.
The lefties have had their way for too long and we are now seeing the results.
Time to call a halt and get some common sense back into politics. Trouble is, the decadent seem to be in the majority, so us sensible, rational ones have a battle on our hands.

I agree with your points Grany.

I also thank Jeremy Corbyn. So refreshing finding an honest, moral politician. I'd given up on politics and he gave me faith it WAS possible for a poltician to care about others and have integrity

Sad he didn't become PM but being realistic, it was never going to happen. The establishment couldn't allow the complete overhaul of our social system.

But I'm glad we we had him for a while. Inspirational man.

ladymuck I don't understand how the "lefties" have had their way. The UK has had a Conservative government for ten years and many people would claim that the previous Labour government wasn't really "leftie".

Would you be so kind as to explain what you mean by "leftie" and what you're against?

Grany's link doesn't work.

It wasn't about the General Election, but a council election.

This is the full story from the BBC:

"An election result which saw the wrong person elected as a councillor has been overturned by the High Court.
Highworth, in Wiltshire, has fewer than 7,000 registered voters but more than 40,000 ballots were counted after the town council election in May.
The error led to Tory candidate Pauline Webster being declared a winner instead of independent candidate Kim Barber and sparked a legal challenge and recount.
Mr Justice Knowles said the "miscount was recognised and corrected".
Highworth, near Swindon, had a voting population of 6,408 before the 2 May poll and only 2,477 ballot papers were issued.
But at the count, 41,939 votes were counted with each of the 10 Conservative candidates polling more than 3,000 votes.
A high court electoral petition was lodged by independent candidate Ken Smith, who argued block votes cast in favour of all the Conservative candidates had been counted for each of them, rather than split between them.
'Unsettling time'
A recount was held resulting in thousands of votes being stripped from Tory candidates.
As a result Ms Webster, who received 727 votes, has had to make way for Ms Barber, who received 863 votes.
Swindon Borough Council admitted it made a mistake but said it was pleased the High Court had "ratified the recounted town council election results".
"It brings to an end what has been an unsettling time for candidates and councillors in Highworth," the council said.
"We have carried out a thorough lessons learned exercise in the wake of May's local elections to ensure this does not happen again."

Oh well done London!! There are some of us in the North who are still socialist as well. Let's have a Red 2020!!!
And thank goodness for Corbyn who knows what principles are. Equality, Peace and Goodwill to all.

Grany Do you get all your opinions from Twitter - or do you sometimes actually think for yourself?

I wonder where you get your attitude and rudeness from Beckett?

ladymuck I don't understand how the "lefties" have had their way. The UK has had a Conservative government for ten years and many people would claim that the previous Labour government wasn't really "leftie".

Me neither growstuff I thought the Conservatives had been in power for what seems like a lifetime. I can only see two reasons why someone might say this.

1) Ladymuck considers the Conservatives left-wing which is quite frightening if that is what people are thinking or

2)This is a dream and we will all wake up with things going back to normal again.

Well, I'm sure she'll be back to explain (maybe, one day ).

GGmk3 Probably from reading the comments on GN! My post was made because I like to read someones own opinion, not the recycled views of someone else. Almost all of Grany's posts are things he/she has copied from Twitter.

You could have asked her what her own opinion is Beckett.

All in the spirit of the New Year and kindness and understanding.

#OhJeremyCorbyn is trending on Twitter no 1

The singing #OhJeremyCorbyn at the New Years celebrations You don't get any other politition held in such high regard and respect as this.

This socialist movement is not going away we have all been inspired to fight for more fairer society and hold the big fat liar Johnson to account.
