What's the issue anyway. Some people suit overweight. Look at Tom Watson he looked terrible when he lost weight, like an extra from a zombie movie.

Not sure if serves Reform to showcase him. He is a thoroughly charmless man.

Manning was in fact part Jewish and had guarded Nazi war criminals. His act was horribly racist but when it was suggested he might support the BNP he said 'Do you think I'm f*** barmy?'

It's undeniably true that the average family pet has way more dignity and self-respect than these grovelling lackeys.

Exactly! I am certainly not a fan of hers either. I'm never going to vote for this govt but the way the media prattle on and on about tax and kuenssbergs desperate attempts at a gotcha...It's just not serious news. Who would want to be clearing up the Tory mess in this media environment?

Professor Nisreen I don't know you but I rudely jumped into your thread to complain about a TV programme without properly looking what it was about. Please accept my apologies. I hope you feel much better today. When I feel down I look at my dog. She's gormless but happy!

Not the book I'm bothered about it's the TV adaptation. That bit with the gaming guy who resigned. Awful! Did a teenager write it? You can't blame that on the book there were no mobiles then. One 90's thing about it though is the smug punch down comedy. It's life seen through the eyes of luvvies.

Lazy clichéd writing carried by strong actors. So predictable. And the way the social worker was portrayed Jesus! ....embarrassing. 1990's much! TBF lead actor and many of the others very very good so I am watching it despite the cringe moments.

I agree, even though I'm no fan of either Reeves or this govt. The way the MSM carry on about taxes all the time is pathetic.

Well it was a long time ago. Just a bit of fun. It's not like he's made common cause with anyone convicted of inciting racial hatred recently. Nigel knows the difference between racism and a bit of hostel burning banter!

Nigel must struggle with his memory. I'm older than him + remember my school days clearly enough to know who loved the Nazis - actually no one at my school.You had to be very weird to behave like a nazi fanboy in the 70's. Mind you I didn't go to private school. Even there I doubt it went down well.

And maybe they could afford the tax if they had less children.

The right. 'If people can't afford more than 2 children they shouldn't have them!'
Also the right 'if people can't afford to pay tax on a 2m pound house why should they be forced to downsize?'

They've lost it anyway if they don't change their leadership team.

Don't worry you can always rely on this government to do exactly the wrong thing.

Nice to see a journalist doing the job properly.

They'll sneer until they have to lie on the ground for eight hours waiting for an ambulance and having got to the hospital wait all night in a corridor. There are no private emergency services. Good public services are for everyone.

They're not Nazis. More like a nazi tribute act.

Stop tackling the man Stella and just make your case. This is just how you were about Corbyn. You've got ideas, you've got some vague principles you've stood up and spoken out about the refugee issue, why alienate people by telling lies? Same old, same old. Labour are so rubbish nowadays.
