I've only been playing, Moggy, so no need for that. You usually do well in these debates, don't go all Corbynista on me by resorting to abuse.
One loss isn't the end of the world, chap.

If you post something like that, don't act high and mighty if somebody responds in the same way.
I'm not sure how I have lost. I don't like Corbyn and am perfectly happy to send abuse his way if it is fair abuse. As it stands the right wing Tory supporting press appear to be up in arms over a few comments made by Labour MPs/members. Comments that did not form part of the Party election manifesto. Comments that were not presented as proper policy but more as a "we'd like to do this". Comments that they have no ability to honour at the moment because they are not in power.
You accused me of deflection earlier, to my mind this whole story is a massive deflection away from the way the Tories have distanced themselves from pretty much their entire manifesto.
Where is the "dementia tax"?
Where is the fox hunting vote?
Where are the school breakfasts?
Why did they commit to keeping free TV licences for pensioners but have now said it might be scrapped in 2020?
Where is the guarantee to the pensions triple lock?
Where are the grammar schools?
That's just off of the top of my head.
But no, let's concentrate on non-commitments that were made by the party that isn't in power.
