It does seem to me that if you're the MP of an area, and your party is in government, then you have an easier time of convincing that government to spend money in your constituency than someone whose party isn't in government. Maybe there's a reason i'm wrong about that, and if so hopefully someone will explain it.

For those who are curious, here is Ringo's CV. I'm not really sure why he decided to post it:
Ringo McCartney - passed 11plus. Grammar school educated. HNC with 95 ish% distinctions in all modules. 2.1 in business management. Former independent and tied financial advisor dealing with high net worth clients. Qualified to give advice on pensions, mortgages, savings and lump sum investments for the medium to long term.
Greenmile was indeed wrong. Mortgage advisor was only one of the many strings to Ringo's bow.

Having fewer policies allows you to vote on what’s best for Burnley and what the people of Burnley want.

Re: Julie Cooper MP to stand down .... ?
I don't support the austerity imposed on Greece (or Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal). I think defaulting is a perfectly reasonable way of a country shedding the bonds of "debt servitude" - and it has been done many times before (and normally with great success). Let me point you to this link as to why: https://lesstewart.wordpress.com/2010/0 ... ston-saul/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Stayingup wrote:Tell you what I find inconsistent Andrew is this anti austerity lobby aimed at the UK government but not at the EU who imposed far worse austerity on Greece and Spain for example. Twice as bad in fact
The pressure put on Greece and Spain was from the IMF, and other outside the EU agencies, in addition to the EU (which I don't condone at all).
My reasoning on this is that it's better for us to remain in the EU, and reform it, rather than leave it.

Labour's proposed deal (they have said so) is one which is as close to being in the EU as possible, the only difference being that we wouldn't have a vote. To you, it's so self-evident that being in the EU is a Good Thing that that's the best deal possible.

Re: Julie Cooper MP to stand down .... ?
If you have a choice between a Norway style common market agreement with no say in the regulations imposed on the UK or staying in the EU then what do you choose. Is Labour's choice really a choice? Voting for Julie is a vote for this choice. Consequences of each described below.
The irony is that Brexit is marketed as bringing back control but Labour's Brexit would be about us losing even more control than other EU members. If this is the only choice then surely we remain? So a vote for Labour must be a vote to remain.
Revoking article 50 and remaining this far down the line will not come easily either. We will end up with yet another vote in a few years time when the EU agrees to revoke on the basis that we adopt the Euro and become part of the Schengen Area and then we are back to choosing this or a no deal Brexit, or a deal or the common market and on it will go.
The whole referendum was handled very badly, the compromises in the middle don't work and the choice should have always been as David Cameron himself advised, remain or a no deal Brexit. Had this been clear from the start then we now wouldn't be in a situation where the outcomes are likely to be :
A Brexit deal that breaks up the UK (Con)
Becoming a non voting member (Lab)
Remain with conditions like Euro membership and Schengen Area imposed in return for agreeing to revoke article 50 (LD)

Looking at his twitter feed (which, suspiciously, has no tweets from before October. I wonder what he deleted) he does come across as the stereotypical Brexiteer moron that Leave voters like Ringo would be most drawn to. For example, he likes to call people who disagree with him "traitors" and "commies" and then he likes to complain that the left is intolerant when one of them calls someone else a "traitor to UK workers" (among other things). The hypocrisy is glaring, but if there's one thing we know about stupid people is that they're fine with hypocrisy.

Re: Julie Cooper MP to stand down .... ?
There was always an alternative. After the Second World War we had a huge deficit issue, and massive unemployment, along with a bombed country and creaking infrastructure. We had austerity then, but not an austerity that destroyed people's lives, and cut services. Instead we created the NHS and built the welfare state, and grew our way out of economic troubles. By the middle of the fifties we had a prosperous society. Now, ten years after the crash we're still worse off. Austerity failed.Lowbankclaret wrote:And what alternative was there to the banks nearly bankrupting the world.

I agree with you that people should have been punished for the crash - if not through the legal system, then shamed in society. That this didn't happen, and no rules have really changed shows you who is really in control.
