Chuka Umunna recently labelled the Labour Party “institutionally racist” during an interview with Sky News. I can’t help but think that Chuka’s criticisms are based in his disdain for the Corbyn project. Moreover, I find MP’s like Umunna have links that are somewhat problematic. Let’s talk about it.

Although Brexit could hit average citizens hard, we shouldn’t forget the sheer damage Tory austerity has caused. A recent study by The ONS suggests many Britons are now living beyond their means; with borrowing increasing and budgets getting tighter, how long is it before we see another finical crisis?

Live chat featuring JJ & Swiss!
Several Labour MP’s have rallied behind the under pressure PM calling for people to support the government, whilst quelling talk of another election. Has the prospect of a left wing government put the Labour right on red alert?

Danny Dyer has been hailed a hero after calling former PM David Cameron a Tw@t during his appearance on Good Evening Britain. Although I agree with what Dyer said, I do find the reaction problematic. Is the bar really this low?

Socialist candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stunned US politics with her superb win, but what does his mean for the left? Trump seems fine with caging children and the media feign concern. Did the anti-brexit march achieve anything or will FBPE do more harm than good? Tory run Northamtonshire council is in deeper financial hot water with austerity hitting their own councils. The Tories continue to ignore their Islamophobia problem & Alan Sugar’s offensive tweet.
A short analysis of Wednesday’s PMQ’s. Where’s Boris? Are the Tories the party of business? Brexit hustlers continue their games & the 2 faces of the modern day politician.

According to Theresa May, the NHS is set to receive an extra £20 billion a year by 2023, according to reports. Theresa May said the cash would be supported by a “Brexit dividend, with us as a country contributing a bit more.” The Brexit Dividend is yet another Tory lie, aimed to give them breathing space.
