Peterborough Bye Election

Okay.

Ruthless cuts to public services meaning hundreds of GPs surgeries are closing every year, the NHS, councils, schools and colleges are at breaking point with fundamental resources and staffing inadequate. Certain services comparable to those in third world countries.

Inequality widened hugely. Living standards plummeting, cuts to public sector pay in real terms every one of the last 12 years. Fewer people under-35 owning their own property than at any point since the war.

Millions of families living in poverty, homelessness at an all time high, food banks needed in every town, the UN having declared a crisis in the UK due to volume of children living in destitution.

The scandal of failing corporations(in which cabinet ministers hold shares) such as G4S and Carillion repeatedly being giving vital public contracts which are ethically questionable as they siphon public money to outsource services, these providers not delivering time after time and being bailed out.

Still not having ended the national debt despite claiming this was what austerity was for.

Playing party politics with the entire make up of the nation to preserve the Tory party's power by mismanaging a referendum on the EU and making a total mess of the exit process, including losing a majority in the Commons which made getting anything through difficult.

Generally plunging us into a period of chaos unprecedented in peace time.

Grenfell.

 

Yes, but other than that what have the Tories ever done for us ?

 

Yeah, yeah....but that Corbyn, eh?

 

Just a thought on this bye election but the fact that Corbyn hasn't buckled to his MP s and come out and backed a second referendum is in my opinion why labour managed to scrape over the line and hold the seat . What was it , 5 million Brexit voters also voted labour at the last GE ? Loose those 5 million and labour will never win a GE ever again .

 

I voted labour last election . If they backed a second referendum I wouldn't vote for them . I never voted to have a referendum , but I was asked my opinion and I gave it . If that isn't good enough well I'm sorry but labours recent 2000s history isn't great either . Nothing worse than being judged by a hypocrite .

 

Once again what’s unclear about wanting a General Election as priority then putting any deal to a third referendum, as agreed at the last Conference voted on by party members and repeated ad infinitum by Corbyn .
