Except it's not a deterrent as we aren't under threat from any nuclear power ???

Indefensible position? To not want a nuclear holocaust? ???

You don't think it's shameless to cut a deal worth 1billion with the DUP to stay in power but vote against giving public sector workers a 1% pay rise? We obvious have different definitions of shameless. And re JC and trident, it's been done to death. The Tories and right wing rags tried to use...

Says the one ignoring the Tories shameless vote today... ???

Only if a) the papers have nothing better to report Or b) the papers are too biased to print the fact that it takes a special kind of Tory shamelessness to vote against giving nurses and police officers a ONE PER CENT pay rise a day after finding £1 billion to bribe the DUP.

This all day long. Utterly disgraceful but is anyone actually surprised?

The argument that "the lower the tax rate the higher the tax take". This is wrong on two fundamental levels. It's contradicted by reality because the Corporation Tax take has flat-lined since the Tories slashed Corporation tax from 28% in 2010 to 19% now, even though corporate profits have been...

The narrative that corporations will just up sticks and leave the UK if The Labour Party increase Corporation Tax to 26% (still the lowest in the G7) is preposterous. This corporation-flight argument relies on calling 26% "high" when it's actually low. It assumes that shifting huge businesses...

On the flip side, over 100 respected economists wrote a letter saying that Britain needs a change of direction away from seven years of ruinous Tory austerity dogma, and towards an the investment based recovery strategy detailed in the Labour Party manifesto.

I may be wrong but wasn't the Labour manifesto fully costed? ??? Unlike the Tories.

Didn't the chancellor get the cost of HS2 wrong by 20 billion pounds? ???

Are you really that arrogant? ??? Highest youth turn out in forever and all you can do is patronise them? No wonder the youth don't engage in politics.

The faulty premise being that austerity is meant to reduce the indebtedness of the UK by 'cutting our way to growth'. It hasn't worked. Simultaneously George Osborne and co borrowed more in 3 years than Labour did in 13. Given that George Osborne missed all of his 2010 economic predictions and...

Ah yes, the biggest deflection the right have. The good old Corbyn is an IRA sympathiser. I've provided enough sources and links to support my view. As you believe I am attempting to 're-write history' you've probably seen said argument, links etc. I've done this dance before. I haven't the...

You realise the current Conservative government have accumulated more debt than every Labour government in history... combined? The majority of Labour governments have ended up reducing the national debt, and the two that didn't happened to coincide with the biggest global financial crisis of...

That's a lovely Daily Mail-esque analogy

Austerity was a choice not an economic necessity. If we judge ideological austerity by what the Tories claim the objective was (getting the national debt under control), then it's been a spectacular failure,

Re your edit. I am not Labour. I have never voted Labour before. This will be the first time. And burying your head in the sand is exactly what you are doing if you ignore the issues I have raised.
