It doesn't even work. Which one is the other one? I've got four of them.

And a wealth tax to fund it?What are "left wing views"?
For me, my countrymen and women have the right to:
* A decent home with a roof over their head - not dependent on how much money they have in their pocket.
* A good reliable cheap efficient publicly-owned public transport system across the country - especially in rural areas where existing private providers often neglect isolated communities.
* Decent inflation-indexed pay for Nurses, Teachers, Doctors and all workers across the public sector.
* Access for everyone to free NHS services at point of use, with Local Area Health Authorities planning and providing services, not private companies or care providers.
* A National Care Service for all those who need care and support in the community [in public ownership, not private ownership] - under control of the Local Area Health Authorities.
* A National Minimum Wage of Ā£15 with the use of tax-credits and support for those in work on low incomes.
* Abolition of Zero-Hours Contracts, with temporary and "Bank" workers given the same rights as contracted workers, with paid maternity leave, holidays and sick leave.
* Public ownership of Railways, Postal Services, Electricity, Gas and Water: to allow proper co-ordination, planning, and investment: keeping the "profits" in the country for our people and keeping prices as low as possible.
*Increased social security for the long-term sick and disabled, with abolition of the current punitive "benefits" system.
* An immediate increase in pensions and social security set to the levels of 2010.
* Support for small businesses with a realistic rate support grant, set by local authorities, funded by central government.
* Provision of free child care across the country.
* Abolition of tuition fees.
"Left wing"?
Rubbish. They had experienced Corbyn's "leadership" and supported him to that point. The alternative is 172 Labour MPs resign the whip? Corbyn had some great qualities and I fully supported him and believe he was very harshly treated by a supposedly neutral media but he'd had his shot and lost. It was time for him to go. Perhaps if he had gone then we might have had a more left wing leader?That was the issue, the parliamentary party were in disagreement with the membership, they should have respected the membership wishes and supported the leader and the election campaigns, if they didn't agree with the membership and the democratic process, then they are the odd ones out.
Yes, and the workplace where people say 'Oh, we don't talk politics here' is always code for 'I vote Tory'.It's remarkable how most people claiming to have no views on politics criticise the left, then say they are all as bad as each other afterwards.
JC won two leadership elections, the memberships choice and quiet rightly remained as leader, that's how the process works is it not? The parliamentary party spat their dummies out. If they had all of resigned there are more than plenty of capable replacements in all constituencies.Rubbish. They had experienced Corbyn's "leadership" and supported him to that point.

Whatever, it is history now.
As has said before in this thread. Starmer or Sunak? And if after you have read the post by Ziggy a couple of pages back you are going to say that you can't tell the difference then, my friends you are being wilfully blind and as "cult-believer-like" as any MAGA loon.
You choose.
That's how I read it too.My views are that of tolerance for people to live their life how they choose if it harms no one else. Iām in favour of capitalism BUT with restrictions to stop the elite gaming the system for themselves through market manipulation, monopolies and failure to to give proper service to the customer and ignoring environmental responsibilities. I support having public services that are well funded and fit for purpose such as energy and rail.
If you listen to GBeebies and The Daily Mail then these views make me a communist apparently, thatās how fā¦..d up this country is. There are so few real radical left wing views on here, or greater society but radical right wing views have been normalised by the real elite, the wealthyā¦.that is the crux of the problem and your failure to see that means youāve had the wool pulled over your eyes.
What I find weird is your username is based on an actor renowned for his kindness and views on having a supportive society being far more important than personal wealth
Rubbish. They had experienced Corbyn's "leadership" and supported him to that point.
but he'd had his shot and lost.
You regularly bring this up but never provide any context whatsoever. I know what she said, who to and what about. Others don't know.Jess Phillips had already done her famous "knife him in the front" interview.
You regularly bring this up
You lump all politicians together yet the Tories have been in power for nearly 14 years and before then the Labour Party had policies in place like sure start and socially progressive policies that supported working people but the Tories lied to gain power and lie to keep power.Greta post which mirrors my view of all politicians, all in it for themselves and what they can get for nowt. After you with the trough.
Tell you what Johnny, just fcuk off mate.tell us all the story - we are all ears.
Bit rude.Tell you what Johnny, just fcuk off mate.
Didn't look very hard did you Stu?Do I? Can't think when.
Edit - just tried the phrase "knife him in the front" and my username in the search function. First time I've mentioned it.
Edit 2 - in any case it doesn't really matter does it. Whatever special "context" you're claiming, the point is the PLP definitely didn't support Corbyns leadership up until the 2016 challenge.
Couldn't give a toss really. He's been on one with me for weeks. Fcuk him.Bit rude.
This is getting a bit confusing. Do you want him to fcuk off or are you asking me to fcuk him? I'm not going to fcuk him. I'm not into all that mucky stuff.Couldn't give a toss really. He's been on one with me for weeks. Fcuk him.
Much more accurate than "never".Ah of course. Should have spent ages searching alt terms for knife shouldn't I?
"Regularly" 2021. You must have Howson down as a regular goalscorer as well eh?
This is exactly the type of person Iām talking about . Put a comedic reference to nazis in it to belittle a legitimate opinion that you happen to dislike . Classy. Like on the left, there are different shades of right wing . Being on the left doesnāt make you automatically a Commie or a corbyn supporter , nor does being on the right make you a nazi
Regarding not wanting NF not elected to the other poster , so wanting europe actually to take a harder stance on illegal migration suddenly means you want a historically nazi party ? Le pen is pro Putin **** and I have no doubt she would make europe a lot worse place if she was elected. Iām a conservative but I donāt want homosexuality illegal or nationalism which is what Putin politics wants to bring to Europe. Nationalism starts wars . The more people are ignored on this important issue , the more people will vote for nationalists in Europe and the more likely Europe is once again fractured to the extent war is likely . Putin is deliberately trying to get migrants into Europe because he knows it is changing these countries for the worse and it is allowing him to create spheres of influence . Slovakia has just elected a pro Russian politician and theyāre in the eu and nato . If we donāt tackle this , this discontent will grow
Europe to me is one of the richest continents culturally in the entire world and also one of the most tolerant too . To ensure our politics are not going to the extremes we need to ensure this migration policy is a lot harsher and stricter . It is STILL too soft and tolerant
