@garsm2290 Yes Jeremy Corbyn did publish his tax return. Although not recently, David Cameron, Boris Johnson and George Osborne have published their tax returns but i agree Nigel Farage has not. To be honest i would imagine that the majority of Politicians are on the gravy train no matter what Political Party they represent. From April 2019 all MP's earn £79,468.00 and this does not include their expenses. It was recently revealed in the press that a quarter of the Labour Shadow Cabinet own multiple homes including Emily Thornberry who has 3 homes, Keir Starmer 2 homes and John McDonnell 2 homes. ☺️☺️☺️

Yes, including Labour's "winter of discontent" fiasco in the late 1970's when the UK was the strike capital of Europe. Anyone can type "Winter of Discontent" on the internet and read about what happened, it is a depressing read.

It was reported in the press as early as 2009 about the Kinnock's and the tremendous wealth that they amassed thanks to the EU. Lady Kinnock (Glenys) was a MEP (Labour member of the European Parliament) from 1994 to 2009 and Neil Kinnock spent 10 years in Brussels and during this time the Kinnock's earned an estimated £10 million in pay, allowances and pension entitlements. It doesn't come as a shock to learn that their son Steven Kinnock got a job as a research assistant at the Brussels European Parliament. ☺️☺️☺️

@garsm2290 There are more than a few millionaire Labour MP's past and present. It has been widely reported that Jeremy Corbyn's net worth is an estimated £3 million. 😃

From April 2019 all MP's earn £79,468.000 a year and this does not include their expenses, nice little earner isn't it Mr Kinnock?

@paulstevenson200 Totally right. Also I was surprised to learn that Jeremy Corbyn's net worth is an estimated £3 million and that a quarter of the Labour Shadow Cabinet own multiple homes including Emily Thornberry 3 homes, Keir Starmer 2 homes and John McDonnell 2 homes, it is almost becoming as bad as John "2 Jags" Prescott. Regarding the Labour Leadership contenders, what an absolute shower they are i think they should spice the lineup a bit with a donkey wearing a red rosette, lol. I think Jeremy and momentum are dreaming of a "Corbyn 2" but preferably wearing a dress and a floral one at that, lol. 😃😃😃

@briangabriel1211 What was Labour's excuse for the "winter of discontent" fiasco in the late 1970's when the UK was the strike capital of Europe. During this awful time the population of the UK was so sick of the Labour Government and so desperate to get rid of them that they elected Margaret Thatcher. Anyone can go on the internet and type "Winter Of Discontent" and read all about what happened.

@nifralo2752 Who say's it can't be repeated?, this week we have rail strikes.

@dominicchallis2928 During the "winter of discontent" fiasco and the Labour Government trying to deal with "The Unions", the then Labour PM James Callaghan said that "if I was a young man i would emigrate".

@dominicchallis2928 James Callaghan, what a sensible comment.

@thomasalvarez6456 My hope is that the Labour Party is disbanded.

@thomasalvarez6456 I agree completely with your comment.

Your comment "We face five years of hell and damnation by voting in the Tories", are you sure about that?. When Labour last left office the Labour MP Liam Byrne left a "sorry their is no money left" note on a desk in the house of commons for the incoming government while he and the rest of the Labour Government ran for the hills.

@paulstevenson200 Yes I misunderstood your comment and i would like to apologise. I live in an area of South Yorkshire which has traditionally been a Labour stronghold and at one time i was a Labour voter but i eventually came to my senses and now vote Conservative. Even in areas of South Yorkshire like Doncaster there has been a major change during this election with the Labour MP Caroline Flint losing her seat to a Conservative MP and long may it continue.

@paulstevenson200 I have enjoyed reading your reply to me and it is very informative. I had no idea that the problem with Electorial fraud with Postal Votes was so out of control in Oldham and it definitely needs sorting a.s.a.p and thankfully we now have Boris and hopefully he will stamp it out. Also when Labour lost the 2017 General Election, if Jeremy Corbyn had stood down then they would have elected a new leader and maybe the outcome of the recent election might have been different so i am glad that Jeremy Corbyn did not stand down in 2017. I live in Rotherham and it is now a very run down town. Rotherham is classed as a safe Labour seat since they had their first Rotherham Labour MP elected in 1933 and just when you think it can't get any worse we have also had a Labour run Council since 1974. Rotherham has been blighted by loyalty to Labour and a culture of "I am voting for Labour because my parents the rest of my family, work colleagues and the window cleaner does" etc. This recent election result in Rotherham was a vast improvement with Labour 14,736 votes, Conservatives 11,615 and The Brexit Party 6,125. We have also had the "child sexual abuse exploitation scandal". I would love a Conservative win in Rotherham one day but I can't see it happening anytime soon ☺️☺️☺️

Labour have a strong record of leaving the UK in a total mess. If people delved into the past history of Labour they could find out what happened in the 1970's under the then Labour Prime Minister James Callaghan who was virtually held hostage by "the unions" and the UK became the strike capital of Europe. Anyone can type on the internet "Winter Of Discontent" and read about what happened in the late 1970's under Labour.

@tinkertailor386 So true.
