You'll notice as soon as Andy said the tory mp is lying, the tory mp started to try and not let Andy speak, just constantly talking over Andy, like a child when they know they've been caught out in a lie by a parent or teacher.

[@moxy666]

What a tory caught caught lying...get out of here... ohhh wait. watching 3 or 4 weeks of PMQ's as Boris's lies to parliament slowly unravel. Boris is a trump wanna be (without the armed lunatics) and his front benchers are no different to the sycophants that trump surrounded himself with.

It's a tactic common to any party on the right. Control the conversation. If someone says something you can't answer, you interrupt them and try to pin something on them. Don't let them speak and don't let them get their point out. A terrible tactic which Andy Burham was able to get past.

[@clowncarqingdao]

I'm undecided on that. The Tory MP may well equally be simply stupid. I've talked to three Tory MPs (they initiated the conversation) and found all three of them to be quite stupid and unable to even repeat their own propaganda. That was three decades ago, before the newly appointed even-stupider-UKIP/Tory MPs.

A fundamental problem is how poorly educated Brits are when it comes to Government and governance. Civics should play a fundamental role in every school curriculum as it does in most other countries. Back in 2012 a huge survey was carried out in the EU asking 17-18 year olds in their last year in school to answer 15 questions on the EU as an institution (question 1 was ‘ what do the initials EU mean’ and they got progressively harder). Germans scored 11 out of 15 several other countries 10 and 9 and France the lowest (apart from us) with 8. The UK scored….drumroll….the grand total of 3!! Is it little wonder that the Tabloids get away with murder when it comes to distortion and disinformation.

How can the majority of decent brits just not see this charade.

[@MattBooth]

Unfortunately, some of those "less desirable policies" will be "absolutely essential policies" to clean up the Tory mess. They gutted social care, so there's going to have to be a huge investment in social care. They gutted benefits, there's going to have to be a redress of the benefits system and entitlements. They gutted local authority funding, now our roads are failing to bits and infrastructure is crumbling (since each LA is responsible for this within their jurisdiction). They gutted police funding and criminal justice funding, etc. We can't fix anything without reversing the years of Tory mismangement and dismantling of the society the last Labour party built... which as a Conservative voter in 2007, you might not have agreed with at the time, but I can see you agree that Cameron's Conservatives were a mistake. When Jeremy Corbyn's party was saying "nationalise infrastructure" and talked about nationalising energy, they were laughed at and derided and yet here we are with energy companies making record profits whilst putting up prices at the time when people can least afford it. They cannot claim to have to meet rising costs whilst making record profits. Better yet, why does energy need to be sold for a profit? It's essential for human life. We cannot cook, clean or heat our homes without it. If funded through taxation or standing order, at no profit, in times of financial duress the government could opt to scrap the charge, cap the charge or waive the charge.

Andy come back to national politics...and save the Labour Party...I class myself as working class and a trade unionist but I feel totally alienated by the Londoncentric champagne arseholes who are in charge and I am sick of being treated like a idiot...I want world class education,health care.. I want to feel safe in my own home...I am proud of my country and its flag and its armed services...I just want to live my life and hope for a better tomorrow.....so Andy be the next leader of the Labour Party and I will vote for you again...Up The Toffees

Well said! Labour keeps losing because it sneers at the white working class. We need more like Andy Burnham and less like Emily Thornberry.

And what would Islington labour party do? Exactly the same thing.

[@matthewotooleis]

Aaah but what would Scunthorpe Liberal Democrats do?

[@Stormx2233]

Its always like that, this government seem to think they can point the finger at other parties labour mostly and say look they are doing this look at what they have done, and then go and do the very same thing they same labour are doing and then say well it wasn't us the Tories it was labour.
