Can't answer that only Jeremy can say really and I won't pretend to know what he is thinking. I'm hopeful he won't have to join with anyone and has a majority.

Corbyn & Abbot are about as much use as a wet bus pass imo.
If a person earns say 15 grand PA for running their self ragged, and someone else earns say 80 grand, for not breaking sweat, who is the imbecile.

Good point IMO rich have got richer and poor poorer that has to stop and electing labour may be our only chance to do anything about it. What the rich forget is if they starve all the poor out we can't buy their nice shiny products they will just be selling to each other eventually.

You really haven't followed that argument through have you?
Rich man worked hard to get his money.
Rich man pays more in taxes
Poor mans benefits are paid from taxes...
Tax rich man more...he takes his money and business abroad.
Poor man gets poorer.
You are related to Diane Abbot right?

No I just see poor man working harder than rich man. Long hours gruelling physical work.

Where would that be then? Down the mines, metal bashing on the shipyards?

That would be in any job using their bodies, you don't see rich people with bodies worn out by hard work by the age of 50 whereas you do see us if we've had to lift and carry and do work involving our arms and legs.

I'm told my shoulder is absolutely down to vacuuming my husbands knees to kneeling to fill vending machines.

Re: A Nighmare scenario???

Ahh, so all people who are rich by their own efforts are the spawn of the devil right? I suppose a newly-qualified tube driver who starts on £49,673 a year, enjoys 43 days of annual leave and only works 36 hours a week, which is a markedly better starting package overall than soldiers, police officers or nurses get, rising to £50k is a poor working class bloke?
