We're ready to talk to the government and others in parliament about a sensible alternative plan, but not while Theresa May is wasting 171,000 pounds ($220,000) an hour of taxpayers' money on dangerous and unnecessary no-deal brinkmanship, if the prime minister is serious about finding a solution that can command support in parliament and bring our country together, she must listen to the majority of MPs (lawmakers), as well as members of her own cabinet, and take 'no deal' off the table.

Going to war creates a legacy of bitterness and problems, let us be a force for change in the world, a force for humanity in the world, a force for peace in the world, and a force that recognizes we can not go on like this, with grotesque levels of global inequality, grotesque threats to our environment all around the world, without the rich and powerful governments stepping up to the plate to make sure our world becomes safer and better -- and those people don't end up in poverty, in refugee camps, wasting their lives away.

People in support of Corbyn. He has sold out. He will make a big Pro EU speech tomorrow siding with Cameron but he voted no to joining the Common Market and he said in 1996 "The EU is undemocratic and irreformable" I thought a lot of him at first, but he can be bought out like all of them. Looking after his future and job in the EU Commission in 2020 when he loses the election by a landslide or gets the boot - whatever happens first more »

This is another reason why I love Corbyn - talks with wisdom - a philosopher of our time - outlining truths that we all wish werepart of politics but were too scared to admit lest the status quo come and antagonise us further... He offers synergy - a chance to be greater than the sum of our parts instead of less than we could be. Inequality is a failure of economy - our economy is not strong if over half of the people affected by it are suffering. #WeStandWithCorbyn more »

  Steven Andrews you already subsidise the lazy - we pay massive amounts to the very wealthy - especially aristocratic landlords - and through unfair council taxes the har working poor already subsidise the wealthy. Earned income is taxed and unearned income is left to grow. Its very unfair. As the only MP who didnt steal from the taxpayer with dodgy expenses claims he's the best MP out there for sharing it out. I dont think anyone should subsidise the lazy - thats why I vote Labour. more »
