It seems like Corbyn's "tolerant, kinder, gentler politics" is alive and well at conference

The Scottish vote was the first time I think we have seen this kind of violent behaviour towards certain journalists. So now its spread to the Labour party.
Now I'm no fan of Laura K ! She first came to my attention with her self aggrandisement at the inaugural Trump News conference. I actually felt embarrassed by her representing Britain in the shape of the BBC!

Yeah LK's problem is not so much anti- Corbyn or anti-Tory bias (she gets accused of both), but more of a strong pro-LK bias. It's all about her, she wants to make a big impression by gobbing off at people and trying to be a plastic Paxman.

Not a great choice for the role.

So much for the many hey Only for the many if you agree with the few....

Sounds like Chairman McDonnell is reverting to type:

John McDonnell Says He "Will Sort" Any Abusive People At Labour Conference - LBC

Perhaps he will get on the phone to some of his IRA mates....

Most people have moved on from Brexit in my ancedotal world, more concerns with housing public services and general cost of living.  Personally I think most Tories are happy for everything to be about Brexit and just a continuation in UK politics of blaming everything on those Europeans. One day Brexiteers are stating just leave it's the easiest thing in the world, the following day when it suits it's the most important issue of a generation, people are bored of the hyperbolic Brexit debate.

You don't find it at all ironic the amount of time you spend on these forums telling us that Brexit isn't that important to you any more and how you have moved on?

The proposed interest restriction doesn't   solve the problem in its entirety but its the right thing to do and would only have a positive effect on anyone except those wishing to exploit.

There is no fast fix.  All of these issues need to be addressed to move towards a fairer society.
