It always does .. tens of billions to buy peoples votes.

I'm sure you are. They are lucky that the alternative option is a UK loathing, terrorist sympathising, anti-democratic far left clique is the only alternative government. Not a great choice but I have some self respect
It's a view but as a card carrying Labour member as well as being a member of UNITE and Momentum I'm none of those things. I love the UK, loath terrorism and am all in favour of democracy. I think you are making massive generalisations about people and that's never wise or helpful.

I meant votes in the House of Commons.It always does .. tens of billions to buy peoples votes.
Should have said 'Cash for Commons Votes'.

Is the term 'far left clique' generalising?

Yes but is buying votes off the electorate any better?

How's this for a scary scenario,
July 12th Orange day marches are soon, and with the DUP/Orange order riding high, the more extreme elements amongst them, decide that the Garvaghy Road march should be forced through.
With the British Government seen to be in bed with the DUP,the March commision is no longer trusted to be a fair arbiter of any dispute by the Republicans, so, they riot gainst the marches across NI, it will only take one bomb, one atrocity, from either side, to descend into the worst excesses of the more recent Troubles.
Who could be sure that the Real IRA, or a re- invigorated UFF, won't push for a return to widespread violence.
I hope May kniws what she's doing.

I'm assuming that by your standards I'd be included in that definition.

A false equivalence, but anyway I should have more accurately said 'Cash for Commons Votes'.

You mean interest rates which have been historically low for years. Tower blocks where both parties are culpable Labour mostly as they run most of the local authorities
The 3 day week, geez, I was still at school then, i retire in 8 years. If yo are going to criticise for goodness sake make it relevant. I seem to remember that tge 3 day week was under the Heath government anyway, but, it was so long ago I may have lost that in the mists of time.

That depends. I hold to a basic standard that a politician fit to govern the UK should generally never sympathise with/commemorate or openly support terrorists while they bomb and murder our citizens and armed forces. Also openly calling for insurrection and direct action against our democratically elected government is also a bit of a no no.
I'm afraid that events rather strongly suggest that this is not the case.

But this is simply cash for votes, completely different. Why should be taxpayer put up the cost to prop up the Tory party?

What the cons have done eith the DUP, is a whole different level

Unless you and footy genious and some others are on the wind up, i despair at some of the posts on here.
Corbyn is not PM so at the moment it does not matter.
But the hopeless May yet again promised the people who have not had a pay rise for years and indeed are going backwards that there is no magic money tree, but just like Osbourne she suddenly finds a billion quid to prop up some votes because she totally ballsed up the election.
A billion quid when child poverty is rising for christs sake.
I mean what goes on in your heads to protect this obviously hopeless bunch of idiots.
Austerity has not worked, we are in a total mess and May still shits on the most vunerable but waves a billion under their noses and snatches it away,
What part of that do you not understand.

It really beggars belief that anyone can defend this. They laughingly accuse Labour of having a 'magic money tree' - but suddenly the Tories find one when it comes to keeping themselves in power. And we are all paying for it! It could easily pay for the 26,000 nurses the NHS is short of. Disgusting.
