Labour 'made a mistake' promoting diesel cars as they are now 'killing people' claims former science minister as emissions scandal spreads

Labour should not have promoted diesel cars at the turn of the millennium as the emissions they produce are now 'killing people', a former science minister has claimed.

Re: June 8th General Election

What's interesting here is that Boris has a long association with the Daily Telegraph, so likely to be more than hot air
Quote:
Boris Johnson could be victim of Cabinet reshuffle after General Election, his allies warn
Boris Johnson's allies have raised concerns that he could be the victim of a Cabinet reshuffle as Theresa May declined to say he will stay on as Foreign Secretary after the election.
A friend of Mr Johnson told The Daily Telegraph that "clouds are gathering" and they are "worried" for his future if Mrs May secures a landslide election victory.
"If she has a massive majority she may not need him," the ally said. "Boris selling Brexit might not work anymore - if she has a massive majority she sells Brexit."

Re: June 8th General Election

It's not unusual for cabinet changes after an election when/if a party is re-elected.

The most feeble of Tory manifestos': Thatcher's economists savage May's tax plans. The Conservatives are likely to fight their general election campaign on “the thinnest, most feeble manifesto full of vacuities”, the head of a Thatcherite thinktank has warned.
The problem with these right wing fat cats is that they'd rather have a few more pence off tax to make themselves even more obscenely rich. Never mind the NHS is failing and there are increasing level of child poverty; 'Penelope might only be able to afford one skiing holiday a year if we don't get yet another tax cut !' We're all in it together, not.....

In Corbyn's world they happen all the time...

He gets through Shadow Cabinet members like there's no tomorrow.

Right now, I think the Conservatives could publish a Sainsbury's till receipt as their manifesto and they'd still win convincingly!

Re: June 8th General Election

I wondering when someone's going to challenge the validity of our poll because the Tories are being shown in red and Labour in blue.
