Britain Hating Ideology

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

I think there is a national scandal that is housing benefit paid by the 'system' to private landlords that are achieving high % return on their property investments. It's a tough call but, pass a law that prevents current tenants being evicted, reduce housing benefit to a sensible (sustainable) level.

 

 

Your suggesting that a wealthy bunch of individuals should shaft another bunch of wealthy individuals at the same time taking the care to ensure some poorer individuals don't suffer?

 

Who'd have thought it...... Chuka Umunna MP on QT last night suggesting exactly that!

I didn't see it.

Is it going to happen?

No on a number of levels, not least of which, it'll be a good while before Labour are anywhere near electable.

 

He alluded to the concept of unreasonably high rents and the potential for political intervention to cap private rents but was characteristically slippery on a possible policy stance. It starts at about minute 30 and he is pressed at about minute 38.

 

Dimbleby had to press him and force him to commit which must have been a real affront to his silver tongued, non committal, middle of the road, friend-to-all vote chasing norm.

 

It made for an entertaining few moments!

 

Peter Hitchens & Victoria Mitchell (hot!) spoke frankly, with passion and avoiding the spin/BS.

 

Umunna & Greening trotted out the usual sanitised party line with little credibility or independent thought and were frequently jeered or laughed at by the audience.

 

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb babbled some fairly irrelevant and nonsensical Green Party jibberish.

 

Not a bad show overall.

Thanks for the update, feel like I watched it now!

First Green in the House of Lords!

First Green in the House of Lords!

 

 

Oh, House of Lords is environmentally friendly is it? I had no idea!

Umunna, Kendall, Tristam Hunt & the other Blairite careerist politicians who have such contempt for the party members who voted overwhelmingly for Corbyn are going to ruin Labour's chance of election if they're allowed to continue sulking and spinning just because they didn't get their way. The public clearly don't want a Blairite party. Get in line and represent your members or bugger off imo.

With such internal turmoil it's just the sort circumstance when the party leader's judgement must be sound and his leadership strong - a trustworthy, reliable and committed policy advisor would be a great help.

 

Dhoooooooh!
