What a disaster the Tories are.
Discussion
It's clear Labour are the Nasty Party when the Unison leader and Theresa May are in agreement over it.
McPoison aka Damian McBride took Labour to new depths of nastiness from which they've never recovered.
The toxic truth about just one player in the Labour nasty game:
Finally we have the not-at-all-nasty and really-very-tolerant Labour rank and file which spits at opponents outside a hotel hosting the Conservative Party conference, daubs vile abuse on walls, monuments and cars owned by the parents of a Conservative election candidate.
McPoison aka Damian McBride took Labour to new depths of nastiness from which they've never recovered.
The toxic truth about just one player in the Labour nasty game:
- Mr McBride helped destroy Home Secretary Charles Clarke by fabricating a briefing war between him and a key adviser to Tony Blair
- Another obstacle to Mr Brown, John Reid, quit the same Cabinet post after Mr McBride leaked details of his alleged ‘drinking, fighting and carousing’
- Allegations about another minister, Ivan Lewis, pestering a female aide were leaked to punish him for criticising Mr Brown’s tax policies
- McBride confesses to logging in to Mr Brown’s office email and leaking details of restricted or confidential documents to discredit opponents
- McBride helped Gordon Brown to develop an elaborate ‘political intelligence operation’ with ‘moles’ on the teams of rival ministers
- McBride was finally forced to resign when a series of emails he sent from No10 to fellow Labour spin doctor Derek Draper were leaked, revealing attempted smears (lies) about Conservatives' private lives as below
- The 'red rag' exchange suggested that Mr Cameron should be challenged to produce his medical records, after admitting in an interview that he had visited a sexual diseases clinic when a student, despite there being no suggestion he had any treatment
- Another McBride smear against Osborne suggested he once posed for a photograph wearing a bra, knickers and suspenders with his face blackened
- The smears also alleged that Ms Dorries had been the subject of sexual allegations.
Finally we have the not-at-all-nasty and really-very-tolerant Labour rank and file which spits at opponents outside a hotel hosting the Conservative Party conference, daubs vile abuse on walls, monuments and cars owned by the parents of a Conservative election candidate.

And it isn't Labour voters that have a problem with immigrants.
Indeed. As we've seen with UKIP recently, a lot of their support are now returning from where they came, the Tory party, and talk from some of their politicians wanting to do the same.Others like Don4l remain firmly UKIP from his Tory roots.
Labour aren't the nasty party. Labour arent the ones who have a problem with immigrants. That accolade lays firmly in the blue and purple camps.

So are you saying that the reason huge numbers of people in what were Labour's nothern/midland heartlands voted 'out' in the referendum in June is:1. Their reasoning was nothing to do with concerns about immigration?
2. They were all Tory voters?
3. They were UKIP voters, but not the type you just said were secret Tories?

Maybe MashPhatom or one of the other serial whingers could start a "Great Successes of the Labour Party" thread.
to be fair there have been quite a few - the standout being the NHS

Well the Tories have won the last 2 elections by promising to stop immigration.
They've done f
k all about it, but there you go.
I thought that it was more to do with the fact that, yet again, Labour had bankrupted Britain. They've done f
k all about it, but there you go.They do appear to have a lot of bad luck. Did you know taht every single Labour administration since 1945 has increased unemployment. Very bad luck indeed.

Quite patently pish. I must have imagined all the interviews in 'Labour' towns of Labour voters who cited again and again the issue of immigration/jobs as their reason the voting out the EU.The immigrants are largely doing the jobs these erstwhile Labour voters would or should otherwise be doing.
