Momentum finally takes control of Labour (BBC)

Jon Lansman, the founder of the Corbyn-supporting Momentum group which wants more grassroots say over policy, was among three new members elected. He hailed the result as a victory for "21st Century socialism".

Other Momentum candidates, Yasmine Dar and Rachel Garnham, were voted in.

How will the Uk see a fully Marxist opposition ?
Are any "soft red" MPs safe in their seats now ?

Starting a new party, splitting the vote away from Corbyn and his fellow Marxists would be a service to the country, do they (the soft Labour ones) have the moral fortitude to do this service for their country ?

But if I was absolutely forced to choose between them - I would vote Labor

Trade in your toys and be ready to pay much much much more tax then or get a job within the public sector .....enjoy being soaked.

Sometimes it isn't all about me me me

Sometimes it is about wanting a better society

I am not certain Labor will deliver that

But I am pretty darn sure the Torys won't - well not until they see the electoral consequences of the path they are currently on.

Trouble is there will be no "Me" left to worry about with Marxists in power will there

Which is why, for all of the fat cattery, the only way that this is likely to be materially changed by a Corbyn government is by soaking the middle classes.

Be accurate : Dekulakization

If only everyone had the sense to ignore any "Professional politician" from all parties and give their vote to an independent who shares at least some of their views the normal two party state would get a real and much needed kick up the arse, the lot of them stopped representing the voters a long time ago.

The personal allowance withdrawal was actually Labour in 2009, but Tories could have rolled it back.

UK marginal tax rates are 65% and 60% for the above (3 kids). They go any higher and people will just work less.

as a 100% blue blood, I have to accept the tax take is high atm, so it should be. We are all still in Pay-Back mode thanks to labour.
