Tories and undecideds flock to Labour after #BattleForNumber10 #GE17

Posted on 30 May 201720 June 2017 by Paul Smyth

The SKWAWKBOX If you’re watching BBC News or Sky News right now – or if you buy a right-wing newspaper on Tuesday morning, you might have the impression that Monday night’s ‘Battle for Number 10’ on Sky News and Channel 4 was a hard-fought draw or even a win for Theresa May. It really is getting stupidly transparent: Newspapers and Corbyn: it gets to a point where you just have to laugh at them. #BattleForNumber10#TheresaMayGifspic.twitter.com/sws2mvihvb…

Shocking revelation: Tories SECRETLY met IRA leaders at the height of its terrorist campaign

Posted on 28 May 201720 June 2017 by Paul Smyth

Pride’s Purge According to former IRA activist Danny Morrison, senior Tories secretly met IRA leaders in 1977 – when the terrorist organisation was at the height of its bombing campaign: Danny Morrison is famous for coining the phrase ‘Armalite and ballot box‘ to describe the Provisional IRA’s then strategy of pursuing armed struggle while at the same time Sinn Féin contested elections. Douglas Hurd is one of the Conservative Party’s most senior elder statesmen and later became Home…

#NHS under #Tories – 2.5 HOUR wait for sick child’s EMERGENCY ambulance #GE17

Posted on 28 May 201720 June 2017 by Paul Smyth

The SKWAWKBOX A shocking example reached the SKWAWKBOX today of the near-collapse of the NHS under Tory-imposed cash-starvation. ‘F’, a young mother on the Wirral peninsula in north-west England, was preparing to go on holiday when her young child became ill – so ill that a ‘111’ operator called for an ambulance to be despatched immediately to the sick and unresponsive young boy. I’ll let ‘F’ tell the story in her own words: I’m feeling…

A brief and blunt discussion about ‘economic competence’ before the general election

Posted on 26 May 201720 June 2017 by Paul Smyth

Politics and Insights The question asked shouldn’t ever have been how will Labour fund their costed manifesto. We have permitted this expedient Conservative diversion for long enough. The real question that matters is this: where is the public’s money that citizens, their parents and grandparents have paid into the Treasury all these years? Why is there nothing to show for it for the past seven years? Why are increasing numbers of citizens of every age…

World exclusive: #Corbyn – Mowlam’s ENVOY, met IRA AND loyalists

Posted on 26 May 201720 June 2017 by Paul Smyth

The SKWAWKBOX Word reached the SKWAWKBOX during the writing of this article that the Sun has been trailing that it’s ‘going big’ on Jeremy Corbyn at 10pm this evening. If it’s preparing another IRA-related smear after it disgraced itself with its ‘Blood on hands’ attack, which appeared after the terrible events in Manchester on Monday, it’s going to have egg on its face. The Sun is not the only right-wing publication to attempt the same…

.@Theresa_May IS the danger – no posturing now can change that #GE17

Posted on 24 May 201720 June 2017 by Paul Smyth

The SKWAWKBOX Theresa May’s decision to put troops on our streets this morning is a naked attempt to cover for the disastrous policies she has pursued as Home Secretary and then as Prime Minister. Like a man trying to compensate for his inadequacies by driving a big, fast car she is flagging her shortcomings to all who care to look – and like that man, driving ‘too much car’, she’s a danger to us all….

Posted on 20 May 201720 June 2017 by Paul Smyth

Salena Hannah, who works part-time, says that she had the attack during her appointment, but was ignored by the “callous” job centre interviewer.

Exclusive: NPC on #ToryManifesto. Your Tory-voting OAP friend/relative MUST read

Posted on 19 May 201720 June 2017 by Paul Smyth

The SKWAWKBOX Tory manifesto on social care – a Frankenstein’s monster of bolted-together bad policies As Jeremy Corbyn’s informal social media feed revealed today, Britain’s biggest pensioners’ organisation, the NPC (National Pensioners Convention) has called the Tory manifesto (or ‘my manifesto’, as Theresa May kept calling it) a “Frankenstein’s monster” of bolted-together bad policies that will damage pensioners and place an unfair burden on their families: The National Pensioners Convention (NPC) describes Tory manifesto pledge…
