The TU bill is an attack on worker's across all sectors. TU's are why we have our employment rights. We need to #KilltheBill

I left Labour over the invasion of Iraq, paid a fiver (£2 donation) for a vote in the elections. Got all 3 of my preferences (inc London Mayoral candidate). I rejoined the party last Sunday.

There was NO alternative to the tories last election. Labour were just a cheap copy of the tories. NOW you have Corbyn! DO NOT MESS THIS UP!

The economy is on its knees even after the most ruthless cutbacks ever known in the UK. The free market has failed irreparably and Jeremy Corbyn is offering a hopeful alternative which is capturing the imagination of the nation and young people in particular. He is being attacked because he is taking on the establishment which, in turn, is clamping down on his supporters. He must be defended.

By doing what your doing to Jeremy corbyn to turn people against Jeremy corbyn is not only childish and unprofessional and if you can't fight a fair fight then simple don't fight at all and I think the British public are starting to realise that you don't speak a word of truth and are just a bunch of juvenile politicians who are taking peoples lives and britains economy as a joke

The Time has come to stop the policies being imposed by a political party representing 24% of the voters. We are the 76% majority we must take back our country

"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on"
- Winston Churchill. These words were true when he said them, but are even more true today.
This government and it's ministers along with their MEDIA and other outlets have lied through their teeth about just about everything in order to get their vile austerity measures thorough and convince an electorate that it is the correct way to go and be prosperous in future.
EXAMPLES are many fold ...here are a couple..
Claim 1 The last government left the biggest debt in the developed world.
George Osborne now admits to the Treasury Select Committee that he did not know the UK had the lowest debt in the G7. He uses cash terms instead of percentages in order to mislead and confuse those of us who do not understand telephone number statistics.
This fact was also confirmed by the OECD Those who use cash terms (instead of percentages) do so to scare, mislead and give half the story.
In short if you are a multimillionaire you would have a higher debt than someone who has nothing. If I am on minimum wage and I owe 10k I am in a lot of problems but 10 k to someone who has millions is nothing. Hence, it's laughable to compare UK's debt and deficit with Tuvalu's who only have a GDP/Income of £24 million whilst, the UK's income is £1.7 Trillion.
The problem is so many of us do not understand these types of figures or stats and it is easy to confuse and con an electorate, particularly when they have the help of just about every media outlet there is who would rather show a picture of JC with shirt button undone than expose something that is serious and effects us all.
IDS I said Labour spending was up 58% but it was only 8%, I said vast amounts of public money was lost to fraud but is only 0.75%, I said tax credits rose by 20% but it was only 8.8%. Now listen to me when I am telling you welfare cuts are "FAIR"...

I add my signature in a personal capacity, and welcome someone who is not just another establishment 'suit', and who does offer something different, something positive.
We need our services and utilities back under public control, if not ownership, we need to fight TTIP/ISDS, and we need a fairer Society, one where some are to be less in it than the others because we did not cause the problems we're being forced to 'solve'.

Believe the smear. While everyone is divided, everything can be marketised and sold. Market share is everything. Any problems, create a new market as a last resort and throw some scraps to 'entrepreneurs'.
