And so with their manifesto launch today, Labour confirms it hates rich people.

No it doesn't. That comment is no more accurate than one claiming conservatives hate poor people.

And in fairness, Jinxy, the conservative party isn't exactly endorsing the last nine years with its campaign, so far.

Both Labour & Tories pledge to repeal the Fixed Term Parliament Act in their manifestos. Thank feck for that.

Good - it served its purpose in 2010-15 and should have been repealed at that point.

You'd think Labour would have secured the domain "labourmanifesto.co.uk"...!

For five of those years their hands were tied by the LibDems. And most of the remaining 4 years were taken up by Brexit (or lack thereof).

Another batch of Polls coming in yesterday now has the Tories pulling away in the poll of polls (to about 12%: 41 to 29).

Still waiting for this Corbyn bounce. Perhaps there's another people out there that hate rich people too. That might do it.

Oh come on. The Lib Dems were not the largest party in the coalition, it was very much conservative led, stop trying to rewrite it. And as for the last four years... Well, it's a direct result of conservative policy.

I'll grant you that. The Tories messed up big time by electing May as Leader who led them into a catastrophic GE. Had Johnson got the nod the first time, 3 and half years could have been better spent.
