here you go with emoticons again, trying to appear clever.
Food Banks are growing because they are an easy, lazy way. Employment is at a RECORD HIGH.

Sure the use of food banks is tiny in this country but its a high profile notice point.

| Quote bren2k="bren2k"Sadly not - because she lost her seat; and unlike the Tories, Labour don't have the option of sidestepping the electorate by putting non-MP's into the HoL but retaining them in Cabinet positions. Question - given the way that Tory maths works - are there now 2 Nicky Morgan's?
I think Labour did indeed lose partly because of Corbyn - I haven't said otherwise; where I differ is that I don't think this election was won or lost on policy; it was largely based on spin and smear and personalities - and he suffered more of that than even Michael Foot. But the single biggest factor was Brexit - this was effectively a 2nd referendum, and Workington Man has clearly been persuaded that 'getting Brexit done' was more important than any other issue.'"
So Peter Mandelson was not given a peerage and back into cabinet - that after he was given a cushy EU job - or has that slipped you memory?
I come back to the point the Tories managed to retain a big chunk of remainers despite going with a leave manifesto - how was it that Labour couldn't retain the leavers?

Employment is at a "record high" but, the ecconomy is flat lining, can you explain why that may be ?

where is the economy flat lining, it seems pretty buoyant to me, not growing as fast as it was, but still growing. Can you explain how it would have been so much better under Comrade Corbyn?

Damn right it's high profile.
Food banks shouldn't be neccessary in a civilised society, in one of the wealthiest countries on the planet.
I realise that some of the issues are complex but, one of the main factors in their increase is the disastrous roll out of Universal Credit, leaving people with nothing, having to wait 6 weeks for any kind of payment - who the hell thought on up ??

Just wait until the working class realise Johnson and Co. weren't dragged up in council houses, and didn't attend state comprehensives. Can you imagine their shock?

Nope - so was Andrew Adonis, and it was wrong then too.
You really do rely very heavily on the tactic of whataboutery - it's an entirely reductive way to conduct an argument.

The ecconomy grew by 0.3% in Q3 nd contracted 0.2% in Q2 of 2019, therefore overall growth in the UK ecconomy, over the last 6 months is a MIGHTY 0.1% - Is that Buoyant ?
Taking account of inflation, consumption is down and we are actually in reverse.

any growth os good, certainly better than the recession caused by Labour.
Let's be homest, we're never going to agree, other than that Boris was the best of two pretty awful options. Brexit won the GE, people voted to get their voice heard again, it is how democracy works. (I voted remain in the referendum, remember)

I didn't realise the UK government's influence stretched across the globe.
