Labour Policy Wars
When Ed fell into Dave’s trap and refused to back the PM’s EU referendum pledge, one senior party bigwig will have been particularly disheartened. Judging by his speech at the Resolution Foundation last night it isn’t just Europe that has policy guru Jon Cruddas at odds with the Labour leadership:
“So, here’s the nuts of this. Simply opposing the cuts without an alternative is no good.”
Who could he possibly be referring to?
Coincidentally, over the last few days Labour have put up adverts for three new wonk positions, all with fixed-term contracts.
A love of colouring in blank pages is a must…
My ‘bad timing’
Which one is the monkey?
Cameron will give any after next election, only a fool will believe Cameron.
Can I just clarify that it says wonk?
Both of them.
One picks fleas, the other picks pockets.
Are Labour still on course to ban Frosties ?
Heard that Owen Jones was practicing his ‘breakfast-bowl-tax’ sound bites.
The evil Tories are to introduce a breakfast bowl tax. If your bowl is to big to fit a normal portion of sugar free cereal you will have to pay a ‘bowl tax’ or find a bowl of the right size, or get up at a reasonable time.
Indeed Owen.
The Tory bowl-tax is misguided and will affect ordinary families the hardest, especially single parent mothers in inner city areas.
It will not stop at breakfast.
Hats, traditional haircuts, even the pet fish of struggling inner city single parent families will be disadvantaged if bowl-tax is passed.
This is a consensus view: We say to the Tories: Eat Breakfast !
Is that a bowel tax, now that gay marriage is OK?
Give his latest award, why should the REAL Owen Jones give a flying-duck about ‘your’ small-minded insults?
Sorry! Since when did Labour have policies?
Is that a spadpology?
“When Ed fell into Dave’s trap”
You are funny sometimes.
“Simply opposing the cuts”
Is that a typo?
Your іdеаѕ аrе іntrіguіng to mе аnd І wіѕh to ѕubѕсrіbе to your nеwѕlеttеr.
Still insured and MOT’d, John?
do you get a yellow wonk hat included with the wonk jobs???
New Labour gave us a Conservative PM. The Conservatives give us a New Labour PM.
It’s a topsy turvy world out there.
Did you know you can now fly Air UKIP to Zurich for just £1475.00!
Ciao chicks
It is our policy not to have policies.
Tough on policies, tough on the causes of policies.
ps. Listening to the tapes of the Huhne, I can only think that Chris is a snivelling little shitbag who deserves contempt…
Draghi said an economic recovery should begin later this year as an absence of inflation risks allows the ECB to maintain record-low interest rates.
“Later in 2013, economic activity should gradually recover,subject that fucking idiot,David Cameron seeing sense, supported by our accommodative policy stance,” Draghi said at a press conference in Frankfurt after policy makers kept the benchmark rate at 0.75 percent. Inflation risks are contained, and I only wish thatose two fucking isiots,Cameron and Osborne were also contained, allowing the ECB’s policy “to remain accommodative,” and economic weakness will prevail only “in the early part” of this year, he said.
He went on” I fully intend to call a taxi for Cameron and Osborne.Two of the biggest idiots in Parliament”
I think he has been saying that for the past couple of years in Italy.
Draghi = Mong : Mystic meg is better informed.
I cannot find these jobs on the Lambeth website?
I’ll ring ed next year. I’m stressed currently as over worked.
Chris Huhne loves to ‘go to work on an egg’
Liam Burnsaid yesterday that wealfair will have to be cut after the next election – but he supports rises now! How does that work
Had hoped that this site would would be witty, cutting-edge and anti-state. Instead, all we have is the same old small-mined hard-right insults and snide remark. Too clever by half? If only it was.
