Pick a causation, any causation as long as it’s ‘Tory’

  ‘The Labour Party set up an independent inquiry to examine the issue soon after coming to power in 1997. Sir Michael was a member of that inquiry team’. And in 2015 Sir Michael Marmot was still there advising Labour on their new ’10 year plan’…. Though Labour’s new approach to public health reflects changing times, our historic mission remains the same: to break the link between health and wealth … Continue reading

Bursting their balloonacy

    Oh nooooo!!!!! Inflation is down. The BBC’s major narrative that the economy is tanking with rising inflation and consumer retreat #duetobrexit has been busted.  This morning we were assured that inflation would at least remain at the dramatic and sensational highest level it has been at for four years….2.9%….and we would all die miserable, poverty stricken deaths…saved only by the hard work and sacrifice of immigrant workers. Oh … Continue reading

Move along, nothing to see here

Lessons learned?

THE LABOUR PARTY MANIFESTO 2017 Labour believes education should be free, and we will restore this principle. No one should be put off educating themselves for lack of money or through fear of debt.

University tuition is free in many northern … Continue reading

The loveable Leftie Luvvie
