Are more children in poverty today?Twenty years ago, the Labour Party pledged to end child poverty in a generation. They'll never be met. Poverty is an intrinsic part of human life. The best we can do is to ameliorate its worst effects, though in many parts of the world they're not even interested in that. Mass migration SavedYouAClick Yes, Generation X is choosing freedom, freedom from money automatically leads to poverty, which is why I enjoy my homeless-ness more and more each day.

If workers’ rights are to survive Brexit, Labour needs to demand more | James MillsRetaining EU regulations protecting workers is not enough. UK citizens’ rights must be secured against future governments, says former Labour party adviser James Mills This is what happens when the UK doesn't have a written consitution. Why do the left think workers rights won’t be protected when we leave the EU. We’ve already said we would adopt the same standards and have a program of maintaining them. Another red herring Corbyn has already & repeatedly stated that he wants regulatory alignment on rights & protections as a legal minimum, & the freedom to go further than the EU minimum standards. Not heard too many other UKLabour backbench MPs even raising the issue.

Opinion: Labour and the EU are rushing to ‘Boris-proof’ their Brexit talks with MayThere is a real prospect Theresa May will soon become a caretaker PM while her party elects its next leader How do you Boris proof anything? Just move it to a high cabinet? Install locks? We've already seen what happens when we let him run around unsupervised. I can't help but wonder if this is why so many British stories feature Nannies? Just hire one to watch him. Ffs ... How many Tory MP’s are there in Westminster? Yet you keep telling us, that this buff-awing buffoon is the leading contender ? The EU and UK MPs Dictatorship must end now. UK democracy has been overturned and the leave voters are once again denied their right to leave. The EU mafia have spoken it is disgusting and a betrayal of the people. This cannot be allowed to continue
