A bit puzzled by this. Who do you think decides how much money Wakefield has to spend in the five town centre's???

And if like me you walk around many other towns they're in just the same state. Shopping patterns are changing and there isn't enough passing trade to keep many shops alive. Even places like Stratford on Avon have these problems. A lot of the people who complain don't actually spend much in town so shops close. Then there's even less for the people who do actually shop in town. The very nature of town centres is changing. Rent and rate rises are often the killer blow. There's not much any council can do about it.

Fortunately i live in the Hemsworth constituency....just, which thankfully remains Labour......just! It really does sicken me to see all these posts slamming Jeremy Corbyn , not just as a politician, but as a person. He's a decent, clean living family man who has integrity and honesty for God's sake. Are these people saying that they think a lying, cheating philanderer is a more voteworthy choice? If so, all I can say is this nation is sadly in a very, very bad state.
As for standing by the results of a so-called democratic referendum, have the people forgotten that the majority of Brexit voters voted to leave based on a whole list of lies posted on the side of a double-decker bus. on this issue alone the results of the brexit vote should have bee declared null and void.
As for Johnson all I can say is that if you thought Thatcher was bad then watch out!!!
I was no fan of Mary Creagh, but Wakefield deserves better than this.

Hopefully, once Brexit has taken place and Boris's one trick pony is over all those that defected from red to blue will have regained their senses after the five year parliamentary period.

Corbyn may or not be a nice chap. But his student union style of politics would have bankrupted the country. I, and obviously millions of other people thought the same, thank god.

Come on, Wotsup. Do you honestly think that Labour would have carried out all those things that were in the manifesto? If you did you must be very naive. Even more so if you think Johnson will carry out all this 20,000 police and 40 hospitals rubbish. When did any party carry out these pledges? But if Labour had carried out only half of the promises made it will be infinitely more than we're going to get.
When Johnson and the other Chuckle Brother across the pond get their scheming heads together watch out. You'll wish Kim Jon Un was our leader.

I obviously wasn't naive because I didn't vote for labour's wishlist as they were either lies or would have bankrupted the country. A lose lose situation

Sorry, but the wishlist you DID vote for will be a pure fairytale as well. I doubt very much that we'll be out of the EU on January 31st also.

We shall see. At least Corbyn and his student union mates are nowhere near power and anyone with common sense is relieved about that

Cleaned up Durham's comments.
Some will have been deleted because you quoted unfortunately.

This is very much off topic but I'll keep it on while it stays sensible.

You do realise that Wakefield is in the top 5 for cuts from this tory government, which has led to it going to rack n ruin. And what do Wakefield people do, vote tory for even more cuts to our city’s funding, you couldn’t make it up

When over 130,000 of the most vulnerable in our society have been killed as a direct result of tory policies, forgive me for not celebrating a tory win. How many more of our most vulnerable people will die over this next term? But, I don’t like this bloke cos the media slate him, or get brexit done. Pales into a pretty weak argument when people are literally dying.
