๐คจ๐ Bolder??? Lucy Powell says Labour has to be bolder after winning deputy leadership election - BBC
Labour's boldness in attacking & alienating their core voters as soon as they were in power, has led to their dismal ratings and losses in just 18 months. Can they be any bolder? Fools rush in..
The UK Labour government allows fraud and may even encourage it. Perhaps common in US, but the people of UK deserve better. But who is there that would root out the fraud, cronyism, sleaze? Not I say the 650 members of parliament๐
