One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Poor old Ed even gets thinly veiled attacks from his brother in his good weeks – The Telegraph have splashed David’s intervention. Luckily for Ed, on the back of his Commons outings this week, David’s subtle dig won’t cause too much of a headache for the Labour leader, but it fits with the overall pattern of David’s behaviour that Guido mentioned yesterday.

The seven point plan for rehabilitation that he sets out in his Staggers article doesn’t seem to have a shelf life…

      He should declare war on benefit claimants instead. Time to get this country working instead of sponging.

        Which comes first, Bong, the jobs or the unemployed to fill them, another load of jobs going at Astra-Zenaca, now which country will lose the most jobs?

          Drop a daisy cutter on the BBC says:

          I doubt if many of the dross on benefits are likely to be applying for hi tech jobs, but there are hundreds of thousands of people who have come here from Poland etc and have no problem finding a job.

          • I could make it all up. says:

            I saw that program on TV. Where polish people were picking asparagus. It was most unfair, the polish people weren’t too fat to bend over.

            How in F-cks name can any one believe anything these lot say. Tory, Labour, or Liberal, Have we Not learnt by their past actions that they all lie and mislead the electorate just about everything.

          Loads of vacancies around. Just because one company’s having a bad time doesn’t mean there are not jobs going. We’ve manage to solve Polish unemployment.

          You seem to be making excuses for benefit claimants, just like Labour.

        Someone should report The Labour Party to trade descriptions. They no longer represent workers (Labourers) so they should rename themselves the Parasite Party the party of the not working classes :-)

          You must remember that Astra Zeneca is an extremenly well run major FTSE 100 company.

          It is only to be expected that if it’s income reduces then to protect its’ core shareholders employees and end customers there has to be some sensible cost cutting at the coal face so to speak.

          You can hardly expect the Company to send out salesmen with expense accounts to drum up contracts out of thin air!

          that would be very naughty indeed.

          Well it's a thought says:

          Liebour represent the workers!, when did they ever do that, that lot represent themselves and use the workers as stooges, just like the public is being used to get get at Fred the shred and his banker friends.

    Joke Oburn says:

    Dave’s right about people like Neil Kinnock. If anything, it’s as if he wants Labour to take a lead in the polls.

    We can’t have that. Go Ed!

    Hang The Bastards says:

    Another swluded Milliband who thinks he has the “ideologica” answers to totally irrelevent issues.

    They are both as fucking useless and clueless and spineless as one another.

    They both possess flawed Milliband DNA.

    God says:

    Both the Millibands are sons of a rabid left wing fanatic, who fled Belgium in 1940 and was taken in by the UK, after which he seems to have devopted his life to the overthrow of the British capitalist system which rescued and nurtured him. Just how this cuckoo slithered his way into the UK academic world and why the British public now have to tolerate the odious presence of both his mediocre sons in Parliament is quite beyond even me! As I do not have to tow the line laid down by Little Speaker Bercow, I will say that the whole family are a gathering of hypocrites. The upside is that they unwittingly provide us all with mildly amusing diversion from reality!

    ‘The list of gains far outstrip the mistakes’.
    That’ll go down well with the workers & the benefit claimants seeing a reduced standard of living, having to move & having to find work because of Labour’s wreckless attitude to taxpayers money.
    I can’t wait for his apology speech explaining why he bottled it when he had the chance to rid us of Bozo…Balls & Ed threatened me? The forces of hell would have been unleashed?
    Yet another gutless gobshite carping from the sidelines about how much better they would be as PM, when history shows the POLAR OPPOSITE!
    The journo’s think he’s great. WHY? Because he can string a sentence together? Because he’s not Ed? Because journo’s say he is great?
    FCUK OFF!He’s crap just like the rest of ‘em. He’ll be schemed & plotted against by Balls & Co, undermined, and hindered from doing what the country needs while counter plotting the plotters.

    Jane Birkin from Paris says:

    He is an ignorant bastard that Miiliband.

    Does he not know it is very rude to stick your finger up in the air like that in the presence of a woman.

    These people are an irrelevance. It’s 170 weeks to the election and all this bollocks will be totally forgotten by then.

    Hang The Bastards says:

    No one give a fuck about MILLIBAND A or B.

    Hence why this topic only has a few posts. They are irrelevant.
