Sorry, bubble. Labour policy on Brexit has been clear since the Party Conference last year when a meeting of 100+ delegates drew up a motion to pass through Conference.
The only ones who don’t find it clear are the mainstream media who can’t spin it down to a 10 word soundbite and who would accuse Corbyn of a lack of clarity if he said the sky was blue. “Well, how blue? Deep blue? Light blue? What about at night? Are you sure you’re fit to be Prime Minister? Why don’t you resign?” ad infinitum.Al simm – Ian Lucas was re-elected by dint of a strong Labour manifesto, a great deal of local popularity and a lot of hard work by the local Party. One thing we concentrated on was voter registration, getting people onto the electoral roll. The Tories were convinced that their poster boy was going to win, egged on by the mainstream media (including that bastion of political opinion, the Radio Times) and the shy Tories came out to vote. For MP1953 to describe Corbyn’s policies as “extreme” is laughable, given that we’ve lived through 9 years of what can only be described as a hard-right Tory government.
Yesterday’s news that the number of children living in absolute poverty has gone up reveals that Government statements about how poverty is being reduced are just more Tory lies.
The Tory mantra “Work is the best way out of poverty” is correct, but only providing that work is well paid, secure and sustainable.
The recent exhibition at Ty Pawb about Celanese showed that there were 2000 employees at its height. Add to that the steelworks, the mines, Fibreglass, Firestone and more, and we can see that employment in Wrexham has diminished, both in numbers and in pay over the last 30 years, with high volume, high pay jobs gone.No-one seems to appreciate the irony of the PM seeking help on her Brexit deal from the likes of Plaid, the LibDems and the likes of Benn and Cooper. These are all arch-remainers and will do all they can do undermine Brexit.
We’ve seen 8 years of austerity and poverty under this Tory government (and their LibDem cronies) and now they have the gall to ask the Labour Opposition for help.Don’t worry. Once people realise that it takes 5 minutes to brew the coffee, the business will fall away.
