They all sound pretty positive to me , better to have fewer things you can get done than loads you cant ,now lets get it done , I think the hospital parking one will go down well and the pensions ones.

18 days or so to change this .......

No chance ..as usual all they can bang on about is potholes! they are SO out of touch it's comical!!

With all the uncertainty of brexit, no party is in a position to offer anything. How the lib dems can magic up money we don't have at the moment by staying in the EU is also a major mystery.

None of the parties can in all conscience promise any extra spending until we know the costs. How the tories can talk about a vibrant economy post brexit is beyond me.

He has a point, having had an extended run in power. When labour actually get elected with far left policies, they can refute him, until then, he is the winner.

A funded NHS
Rich paying their fair share
Looking after older people
An end to child poverty and food banks

= Far left. This is how the media move the dialogue along to skew things.

You've been well trained to never expect better. That's on you, not labour.

Get brexit done is not soundbyte, but rich paying their taxes is BS. OK.

An end to austerity in a post brexit, smaller economy doesn't seem plausible for the tory approach to governing.

Probably companies like Amazon and starbucks that pay next to zero in taxes, or maybe folks like JRM that have the family business listed off shore to avoid paying tax to the british people on over 150m of profits.

It's not a bad thing to be successful, but it's a bad thing to take advantage of the infrastructure put in place by previous generations, and then turn around and avoid paying it forward.

[bots]

i don't think anyone has a problem with Amazon paying appropriate taxes in the territories they earn their money, that's fair. However, you are misrepresenting what labour intend to do. The have spoken out and said it is wrong to be rich when there are poor people in the country, and they intend to do something about that. That's a far left policy and will force all our high earners overseas. They tried it before under Dennis Healey, and they ended up with less tax coming in, not more
