reunify Ireland - no opinion
house everybody - good, although shelter is already available for those that want...
rejoin/not leave the EU and reform from within - should have done it 40 years ago, 'too late too late' will be the cry when the man with the bargains passes by...
educate everybody and pay off al student debt - good - as long as the same funding level is available for non-academic further education.
re-nationalise everything - yes - as the govt is sooooo efficient. Some critical sectors need a shake though.
Give Falklands away - fk off
give Gibraltar away - niet
Tax everybody so badly that they need the state - 1% already feed 27%, be more efficient.
Re-open the coal mines but only the ones with zero carbon coal - think of the babies....no.
Disband our military, nuclear subs first. No - although defence needs a reboot
re-open every shop in every high street.- to sell black bread and Pravda?
Thousands more police so they can catch people that need a damn good talking to over tea and biscuits - haha - police need to stop being social workers and concentrate on crimes that affect people.
Cancel all PFI contracts - good luck with the courts Mr JC
re-instate all 1970's union rules/laws - that worked well
Abolish the Monarchy - yes, they do so much harm, unlike our politicians...
Recognise Palestine as a state even though Palestinians don't want that - keep noses out of intractable situations
Supports another Scottish referendum - absolutely - in another generation, as promised.
Sever all ties with Saudia Arabia - use them as long as useful
Have nothing to do with Trump or America# - yes, a great way to be statesmanlike, just don't deal with people you don't fancy.
Support the despot in Venezuela - they need all the help they can get, so let's do our best to keep JC out of their business.
Eliminate poverty and wealth - replace with hierarchical power structure within a party clique and let the rest be peasants - sort of a 'many vs few' thing.
Eliminate the lords - like killing God, it's always helpful if you have a an idea how to replace them...

Good list comrade smile

I worked on one of the first PFI contracts (in fact, it's that old it will be starting to end soon). We used to joke with the contractor that we could just cancel. His reply was "good, I can retire to Barbados now, not in twenty years time".

The contracts are watertight.

"We have to stop big money running our politics.

Labour will ban donations to political parties from anyone not registered as a labour member and registered to pay tax in the UK.

If you don't want to contribute to our public services, you shouldn't be able to influence our democracy."

Not a bad idea and Hopefully they’ll extend that to the vast swaths of U.K. voters too and introduce some sort of levy so that only people who contribute to HMRC’s coffers can vote- it could be called, oh I don’t know, something like ‘poll tax’ perhaps.

So you can't donate to the Conservatives unless you're a labour member? confused

There is of course a backdoor you could drive a tank through. Political organisations and "think tanks". See all the ones Soros supports for example. Or Momentum.

I may have inadvertently altered the text slightly to what I suspect some far left types would like to see

I am not completely sold on the idea that Jeremys generous offer to act as interim PM was an attempt at a coup.
Having had time to think and watch some videos of him in Bolton it has made me realise things.
Jeremy cares deeply about people and wants to do what's best for everyone and that's why he was prepared to sacrifice his time and effort into leading us all into the light and happiness that a Labour Government can bring. He and John know what's best and what's best for folk is a Labour PM
The Bolton thing is inspiring as the idea about taking back empty shops and turning them into communal spaces is most excellent. It will actually get people together and they in turn will visit the surrounding shops and spend their ration tickers on carefully selected necessities.

It's ideas like this that will take this nation forward and if the only way to achieve that is to circumnavigate existing methods of getting elected then that's surely a small price to pay. Hopefully a Jeremy Corbyn Labour Party / SNP political alliance will bring the whole country together and everything will be great again

TD is another case of the vile tory starving funds from our vital care in the community NHS, It's available to our own eyes the deterioration from a strong vibrant poster to the momentum parody we now survey thumbup

I really can't follow Corbyn's logic. It really is wishful thinking.

A helpful guide has been prepared for people confused about a no confidence vote



Mr Corbyn plans to win a vote of no-confidence in the government, which would begin a crucial 14-day period, after which a general election could automatically be triggered.

To stop that automatic election taking place, the existing government, or an alternative one formed during that period, must persuade MPs to pass a vote of confidence.
Within the two weeks, Mr Corbyn wants to become a temporary PM, then delay Brexit and call a snap election at some point in the next 10 years or when the money runs out

This is the one bit that really stands out for me now. I think his advisors has said that no one wants him as a permanent PM and managed to think up another ploy. I reckon his shot at the title is to use this to get his feet under the table then stay. Len still wants his puppet there, the rest of the front bench are not really any more appealing, he will be in with his wrecking ball of policies before you can blink.

This information is brought to you by courtesy of my comrades at Stats for Lefties "A polling & elections blog & podcast that takes a left perspective on British politics. Pro-Corbyn, pro-Labour and proudly socialist."

"The Labour rulebook states that "When the Party is in Government" only the Leader of the Labour Party can be Prime Minister.
No Labour MP other than Corbyn can be PM without being expelled from the party. This fantasy cabinet stuff has to stop. It's Corbyn or No Deal. Choose."
