Fergulsie Park, one of the poorest areas in the entire country. I can only guess they're simply so depressed that they've become suicidal.

It's sad that people who do not benefit from a Tory government and will likely suffer as a result of the direction the current government is going in are celebrating the fact that their main opposition is being crushed.

Honestly, if you use the NHS or are reliant on any public service then you should be fearing the fact that the Tories are likely going to go unopposed for years to come. Don't celebrate your oppressors.

Honestly,your 2nd paragraph sums up so much as to the realities of what I make no apologies for saying,'the horrors' for many people in the next 5 years.

Fearing what could come from this PM and her kind of Conservative govt.is no scaremongering.
We have already seen the vicious and cruel policies done from them with no overall majority between 2010 and 2015.
Then also in these last 2 years with a small overall majority.

Fearing what can come if the Cons now get a bigger majority should worry millions and I really hope it does,enough to have them think about how they vote in this general election too.

Because they swallow the 'strong and stable leadership' bull**** without even looking into any of the Tory policies or into what they've done to this country in the last 7 years.

I'd prefer a conscience and brains, tbh.

No NHS has worked out really well for the US so I'm totally glad that we'll be following in their footsteps. I can't wait to not be able to afford healthcare for any kind of serious or long term health issue that I may be unfortunate enough to have in the future!

No need to focus on public services when there's sexier issues such as immigration to divert our attention with! We should be perfectly happy to be treated like toddlers that are being distracted with a set of jingling keys!

Tell that to the people who died after being cleared by ATOS for work. Tell that to the hundreds of families falling below the poverty line. Tell that to the junior doctors. Tell that to those people in the ever expanding NHS waiting lists. Tell that to everyone who has suffered because of the selfish decisions made by the Tories over these last seven years. The Tories don't give a damn about what happens to any of us, they just care about maintaining their image.

Increased jobs, built houses, raised minimum wage..3 biggies for me.

Labour only want to borrow money after money and put this country back into the 3rd world

Increased jobs? You mean workfare and shelf stacking apprenticeships?

Built houses? That no one can really afford

Raised minimum wage? To match inflation

Hard to do when there is a strong media bias toward the Tories.

Nice counter arguement.

Over the moon for Andy Burnham winning Manchester, excellent result for him.
One of my favourite politicians and after Brown went he would have been my choice for leader too.

Good luck to him in this important new role.

Talk about a chip on the shoulder, I am sure most people are savvy enough to realise getting the country back on it's feet will be no easy ride,lots of us find it hard,but better that than plunging into massive debt again.We are lucky in this country things could be so much worse, time to get on with it instead of whining so much.

Oh so because things are worse elsewhere, we musn't complain about the country going down the ****ter? Seems a great way for a country to be run.
