Zack has articulated something I've not been able to.
I'm doing okay but it's harder and harder each year.
There's millions worse off who are really struggling.
And there's the over-wealthy who couldn't care less.
I want a government that helps the poorest first.

She was supposed to be great defender of the Labour Left.
She's disappeared.

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too:
"There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done."
All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

Having spectacularly failed to smear Polanski with personal insults the new tactic is to use the economic views of Tory Rory Stewart to scare voters.

Looks like I'll have to add two grand to my pre-election poll crowdfunder because I certainly won't be working with this rag again. Absolutely disgraceful, awarding a hate campaign that is out to destroy my community and kill my best friend like this. Shame on you.
