I hear Boris just answered "Get Brexit Done" for every question

[@nevillethomas1525]

The UK’s Brexit-induced General Election was always going to be about more than just Brexit. And so it should be. A decade of chronic underinvestment in public services; the growing disparity between rich and poor; our response to the Climate Emergency; and the very future of the United Kingdom itself, all need to be central themes of the campaign over the next month. The one issue that does not need to be part of the debate is antisemitism. At least not the version of the antisemitism debate we’ve been having over the last few years which has become profoundly politicised.

[@aninditafarzana2773]

[@bishopofbolok]

Id never heard of Jeremy Corbyn until he appeared on the news as a contender for the labour leadership campaign, yet in the last few weeks hes spoken more sense to me than any politician within the labour or conservative party that iv ever witnessed on TV, not because he is some super wise man, but just because he seems a normal person of reasonable intelligence n common sense, with sensible humane principles n ideas that most of us share, he genuinely speaking for the human rights of the struggling majority of the people we are, as opposed to the privileged few, n he is not afraid to do so. Hes defo a breath of fresh air amongst todays mental, money polluted mainstream politicians, whos limelight n greedy self serving lifestyles are funded by n stolen from the taxpayer, todays politicians quite clearly being the biggest benefit scroungers of all, that behave like "Stepford wives" waiting to short circuit n blow their fuses, that have sadly have had there consciences gradually eroded n destroyed by the drug of easy money. From what i gather of Jeremy, he has held his head n beliefs high throughout his political n campaigning career, n relentlessly fought for them against the odds. Iv never voted in my life, as have never noticed a UK politician on the tube who dosent appear to have been in some way mentally corrupted n disturbed by their undeserved wealth n destructive positions in power, with the exception of a few, like some clearly good people within the Green Party, n also a one or two within the liberal democrats. Jeremy seems like one of those rare few politicians that remains true to democracy, but with the difference that he may actually get to lead one of the two parties who can govern the UK. Am not sure on all the fundamentals of left n right wing politics, but from what iv gathered over the years, their true meaning is simple, as in "left" wing politics represent fairness n justice for the many, whereas "right" wing represents the greed n self serving of the few. Dont know much, but if nothing happens to turn the scummy tide of political corruption before the next election, then UK democracy may by then be gone, washed up n wasted on dirty, bloody shores forever. Whether or not Jeremy can help stop that, who knows, but right now, the little hope our freedom has left, lies within his hands n the people support he gets, as most of those controlling n running the works of the Conservative n Labour party in their current form, are sadly, clearly insane, n democracy will soon be buried if major change dont happen soon.

[@JamesMc2051]

+Alan Smith Left is big government and greater use of social groups and unions. Right is concerned more with individual liberty and aims to reduce government (although not usually things such as defence spending). Left is concerned more with how society is affected by a change and the right is concerned more with how the individual is affected. People from either extreme often share more in common than they do with the centre, in terms of behaviour. No country is at either extreme. We all run mixed economies with a variable range of private vs public sector. A corrupt left winger will aim to increase their own power through putting themselves and friends in prominent positions in any hierarchy that emerges through social unions and will encourage a brown paper envelope environment. A corrupt right winger will cut through essential public funding to the needy in order to make them and their pals rich on the resulting privatisation. Neither are good or bad on their own. They can both have their problems. Personally I'm at the social democrat part of the axis as I think it serves the entire society better than the other positions but there will always be problems with any ideology you hold.

[@bishopofbolok]

+Jim McIntosh. Thanks for taking the time to teach me more on the wing thing Jim! I hear it mentioned a lot in politics but have never been clear on all what its about or how left n right wing came to be. Iv just always looked at politicians opinions as either right or wrong n occasionally somewhere in between, n after your explanation, then my compass must point more towards the left than right. I know what you are saying is right, but wonder if the political terms "left n right" true meanings have much worth in the corrupt Westminster political system of today , coz if they still do, n "left" is more concerned with the liberty of society (as in many people), as opposed to "right" ( that is concerned with individual liberty), then both sides are doing a rubbish job. Am also lost, coz individual liberty (aka right), would surely lead to the freedom of whole societies( aka left), if the same rules of freedom for individuals applied to everyone of us fairly, n then surely one would lead to another, but think the UK political system has become so corrupted, that "individual liberty" now mostly seems to apply if it has been bought, which leaves an awful lot of individuals unable to ever be free. The fact that new labour has been bribed n controlled as much as the conservatives by big business over the years, resulting in them pretty much sharing the same sweaty bed, defo hasn't helped the job along. Jeremy Corbyn at least sees what is going on out there, n wants to try change it, though he sure has a task at hand, as the whole of the Westminster bent rulebook will need to be torn up n rewritten, but who knows what can happen with enough people behind him n also the connection power of the internet, n the guys spent most his life campaigning for human rights, so with enough support, maybe he can pull off the UK,s biggest ever campaign to clean up the scummy politics of Westminster once n for all, n help make Britain great again, before its too late. Heck think i better zip it.

[@gramursowanfaborden5820]

technically neither of you are quite correct with regard to left vs right; the system is pretty archaic and has digressed somewhat from it's original meaning, it's not as relevant any more, "libertarian vs authoritarian" is more applicable, and more intuitively named. this website breaks it down pretty well, and can give a good idea of where one lies: www.politicalcompass.org/ being left or right isn't inherently right or wrong, good or bad, they're just different ways to think about things. what's more important is that human beings in powerful positions don't abuse that power, and instead use it to help as many people as possible, Corbyn is the closest anyone has gotten in living memory, we should ensure he gets his chance to prove himself either way.

[@straightmale9440]

Well that comment didn't age well

[@nickhadjipateras2944]

Reading this comment made me so sad as you're completely right about our democracy failing and Jeremy's policies could have saved us from that. Still true that he's one of the only politicians who cares about the many. Such a big missed opportunity to have a better country

[@mohsinrao4334]

Its the first time I have seen that fearless hero of the people, Salvador Allende, mentioned by anyone in the political mainstream. See? None of that agony about choosing a fucking politically correct favourite biscuit that Gordon Brown went through or that absolutely pathetic display by David Cameron to convince everyone he ate pasties from a shop that didnt exist or that he supported West Ham United...errr...sorry Aston Villa, or was it the other one? He wasnt sure either. When Corbyn speaks he speaks not only from the heart but also from a lifetime of reading and being engaged and informed. He isn't an Oxbridge drone via Harrow or Eton who felt entitled to the job. I hope he wins, and then takes Labour to victory, and then just before he enters No. 10 he flicks the "V" sign to all the tossers who doubted him.

Jonathan Cook writes that while there are signs politicians in the U.S. are finally ready to shine a light onto the pro-Israel lobby, the opposite is taking place in United Kingdom. He says this is due to the way the Israel lobby has recently emerged in British politics - hurriedly, and in a mix of panic and damage limitation mode due to the rise of Jeremy Corbyn, and the end of the international two-state consensus.

My left ear loved this video.

See you know Corbyn is a badman when he gives an answer like that to who his heroes are. Man like Chinua Achebe ya na, madness! This guy is great and I will be voting in a GE for the first time ever because of him.

I wonder what Cameron's Spin Doctors answers would be?

[@bishopofbolok]

+Cleopatra Anthony, not sure what Camerons spin doctors answers may be, but are defo fuel for thought! even though would probably be cringe worthy n make people need to barf after the laugh! I know Jeremy's answers are a little airy fairy here, but you know they are more from the heart n head, without external influence. The guy shows genuine signs of a kind, caring heart, a rare thing amongst virtually all mainstream labor n conservative politicians in the limelight today. Its no wonder that Jeremy won the leadership campaign today, n thank god he did, way to go Jeremy!! But as the man himself points out, this is just the first staging post, that needs to be built on a rung at a time, in order to reach the upper half of the freedom ladder again, amongst the many greedy, slimy slippery pissed off political snakes out there to slide back down on. While contemplating Camerons possible spun out replies to the same set of questions you suggest ( that without spin doctors to pre answer for him, he would probably just start spinning around on the spot whilst repeating the words " West ham, West ham, Pastie tax", in response to every question, like a malfunctioning Dalek would do the word "exterminate", until smoke started venting from his ears n mouth before short circuiting), I meanwhile imagine what his honest answers could be, if he was given a truth serum before being asked the same set of questions, then his response may be: 1, The one thing you cant live without, = Victimizing n often fooking off to die the most ill n vulnerable in society, at the benefit of paying for the likes of my unearned, unjust luxury life, including my lifestyle advisor n personal hair dresser that highlights my butt faced head perfectly... ( Would sure love their job, just for a day, though that is all it would last!) 2, What makes you cry = I haven't shed a tear for other peoples suffering since my money washed, moral destroyed conscience deserted my brain, but the thought of not being able to have my potential new Eton bullyboy inspired train set constructed (the HS2 railway), as a trade off for most of the rest of the entire "sold off" poorly maintained, quick profit driven UK railway system, makes me spit my dummy n cry n fill my pampers. 3, What makes you laugh = Causing further misery n suffering to those already desperate, especially when in the company of Ian Duncan Smith 4,What hero you would want at your table = Best not answer honestly, but to give a clue, he was also a feeble deluded bully like me, but with a silly walk n even dafter mustache. 5, Favorite film = Havent the emotions left inside to appreciate a fine movie, n not many films about spoiled deluded power hungry brats beyond redemption were made as far as am aware? Some bloody good pornos out there though

Can I suggest the automatic captions are turned on for this?

[@BBCNewsnightonline]

Kaedi Harris Thanks for the suggestion. Captions are there now!

I was surprised that his favourite film wasn't either October or Battleship Potemkin
