Same old Labour. Refusing to remove the trash from their party and keeping them in a job.

UN not impressed with the conservatives.

The United Nations has confirmed that the UK's Austerity policies breach the UK’s international human rights obligations.

• Tax policies, including VAT increases and reductions in inheritance and corporation tax, have diminished the UK’s ability “to address persistent social inequality and to collect sufficient resources to achieve the full realization of economic, social and cultural rights”. The Committee recommends the UK adopt a “socially equitable” tax policy and the adoption of strict measures to tackle tax abuse, in particular by corporations and high-net-worth individuals.
• Austerity measures introduced since 2010 are having a disproportionate adverse impact on the most marginalised and disadvantaged citizens including women, children, persons with disabilities, low-income families and those with two or more children. The Committee recommends that the UK reverse the cuts in social security benefits and reviews the use of sanctions.
• The new ‘National Living Wage’ is not sufficient to ensure a decent standard of living and should be extended to under-25s. The UK should also take steps to reduce use of “zero hour contracts”, which disproportionately affect women.
• Despite rising employment levels the Committee is concerned about the high number of low-paid jobs, especially in sectors such as cleaning and homecare.
• The Committee urges the UK to take immediate measures to reduce the exceptionally high levels of homelessness, particularly in England and Northern Ireland, and highlights the high cost and poor quality of homes in the private rented sector and the lack of sufficient social housing.
• The UK is not doing enough to reduce reliance on food banks.

This is why Corbyn needs to fuck off. Any decent opposition would get a news cycle or two out of this. Get people thinking at least.

Can't do much when the entire UK press is against you.

Even the Guardian hate him.

[Zizouz]

You think without the hate, he'd be credible opposition to the conservatives?

For me, he ain't middle of the road enough to win an election. Too often talks about things that the everyday people dgaf about. Don't get me wrong we need MPs like him, just as a safety in case our government gets a bit blood thirsty, but he ain't the type to win a general election.

[Drift]

Agreed.

Who can realistically replace him though? Chukka won't receive a single vote outside of the m25.

Labour fucked it, they had a generational talent in David Milliband and allowed the trade unions to throw their future as a relevant party in the gutter. Now it's just a party of snaky career politicians and over the hill socialists.

[Zizouz]

Swear papers have dirt on Chukka He needs to take a backseat.

Next person needs some bass. Cameron been mocking the opposition in parliament for over half a decade now. Straight bully.

[Niall Ferguson]

I hope to God Corbyn holds out. I'm no fan of his either.
