Point Scoring?

I don't think this is the right time for 'I told you so'.

[Ryzen]

The Labour party managed to bankrupt the UK during peace time...

[Spicerack]

Ian Lavery said it was 'a great opportunity'.
No good appealing to lefty's better nature.

[Buenchico]

Jeremy Corbyn doesn't seem to have specifically gone out of his way to attack the Government's position on Covid-19. He was simply invited to give an interview and, whether you agree with him or not, he gave honest answers to the questions that he was asked.

[ubasses]

I wonder what Mr Corbyn thought of an Ex Labour Chancellor praising the Government. (Last nights One Show)

[tiggerblue10]

Ah ok, I didn't realise he was invited to give an interview and said this, Chris.

[Zacs-Master]

There’s no comparison between public spending in normal times and why it’s happening now. The man is a complete twonk.

[weecalf]

Labour handed the Tory’s a major majority which is never a good thing .So there you go J C that one not the other one

[naomi24]

Listening to him last night almost induced violence in me. Banging on about how the government isn’t doing enough, including for the self-employed. Rank hypocrisy from someone who abhors aspiration. He needs to put a sock in it because he’s doing nothing for morale in these troubled times. He’s yesterday’s man - and even then he was only ever an also ran.

[Gromit]

Life has to go on, the Opposition still has a job to do.
But I don’t think Corbyn is right, he is not making a fair comparison. Still in denial of why he ledLabour i to its worse defeat in eighty years.

Though I am bemused that all the people who went on about Corbyn’s money tree, and Labour would have to borrow £billions and vastly increase the national debt, are qUite happy now a Conservative Chancellor is doing just that.

Labour were correct to spend to save the economy in 2008, and the Tories are right to do it now. I just wonder if in the long run, Rishi Sunak will be seen as our saviour, or as another Gordon Brown.

[naomi24]

Gromit, thank your lucky stars Labour isn't handling this unprecedented situation. Think about it and be bemused no longer.

[Spicerack]

Rishi Sunak is very impressive. (imo)
Surely a future PM.

[ToraToraTora]

he's proved right if there was a pandemic! PMSL, don't remember that in the manifesto! He wanted to do the spending regardless, typical lefty attempt at point scoring, another own goal Jezza!

[ToraToraTora]

ZM 10:16, Bang on, BA material.

Labour handled the unprecedented situation in 2008 rather well.
The borrowed lots of money to bailout to stimulate the economy, And avoided a recession/depression.
How is what Rishi Sunak doing now, any different from what Labour did 12 years ago. It is exactly the same.

[ToraToraTora]

Agent Cob had years of open goals during his tenure and hardly ever hit the target, bit late now!

[ToraToraTora]

gromit 10:49, correct Labour did do the right thing in 2008 and I supported that at the time.

[NickorWan]

I agree that Rishi Sunak is very impressive. Mind you it probably isn’t hard for a chancellor to look impressive when handing out loads of money, we will see how impressive he looks when he starts taking it back.

[naomi24]

Gromit, it isn't 'exactly the same'. The current government's task is enormous - absolutely enormous. No comparison whatsoever.

[royfromaus]

It was the inevitable publication of 'look at me' videos 'I'm the best clapper' that I knew would irk me slightly.

Jeremy nominates himself here.

Peter C. //OMG, he would still have been setting up a meeting with the virus to negotiate.//
