So look past the leader and see what party is best for you, I can guarantee no tory has ever cared about the working class. And yes I totally agree with about the past, unfortunately that can’t be changed, but you can influence the future.

Do you believe the top table in any party cares about the working class? And what future for the UK from either Tory or Labour?

You said a few weeks back that Corbyn was untrustworthy. If Labour gets in Corbyn, McDonnell and Momentum will be there a lot longer than you might like. The same applies to Johnson and his top table. Is there a lesser of two evils?

I mentioned to Missis T that the party that i could relate to was the LIB Dems, however the fact they will ignore a democratic vote kicked that in the head.:(

You know my feelings on Corbyn and McDonnell, but right now I see Labour as a party caring more, I watched the AM interview with boris, didn’t think AM was very fair, kept interrupting boris, but whether that was born out of frustration I’m not sure, every answer on tory policies was back to brexit and Labour bad.
I’d genuinely like to hear a tory mp (anyone) sell me their vision.
Even today we’ve had the IFS come out and say in a worse case no deal brexit scenario the tories will have to borrow more than Labour are saying in their manifesto and look how that’s being ridiculed.
Answer from the tory party, we’re not planning a worst case scenario! No sh!t sherlock, but the picture you keep painting about Labour’s plan is worst case!

It would be the Labour of Corbyn and McDonnell you'll get. The people you mistrust. Labour's policies are more caring but will that be what Labour delivers? I don't trust them to deliver on them, and I think the married allowance is a prime example of their (not) caring nature.

I guess there's a case for Labour as well, the country always seems to bankrupt after a Labour government so that isn't really great for the working man ?

Wasn’t bankrupt after the first Blair term and a global financial crisis had a big say in the 2nd term.
 
In the final death throw of Browns Labour Government he went on a spending and borrowing frenzy, he increased borrowing to over 100billion a year and mainly to support his expansion of state benefits such that many found it better to stay at home than work. The LibDems admitted they needed to work with Cameron to fix the Labour created economic disaster left by Brown. Its the same old story, luckily Foot never got in earlier with Corbynesc policies.
 
Unlike the 1997 Election when Blair returned 418 seats, a gain of 145.
I’m amazed how:unsure: surely the tories had everything right and the Country hadn’t been affected by the global recession, global events only affect Labour, how on earth did that happen? Then shockingly Labour had 3 terms in office! Silly British public being fooled 3 times.

In my lifetime, the very worst times to be a "working man", as opposed to a spiv, speculator or money launderer, have been peak-Thatch and the last 10 years. But there you go....
