        Puzzle? Foodbanks, lack of social housing, cuts to services, childcare, education, disabled, sick, NHS. 1000’s of children are living in poverty! Race doesn’t matter. A civil society matters. These things affect us all as citizens of the UK. Report on that instead of ethnicity.

        Then they win either way? Admittedly its a grim choice, but its your choice to change it, for what its worth.

        The Tories have always attacked the vulnerable? That's what they do...... I'm not so sure about labour being anti Jewish either? The press don't help but you are more informed than i on this I'm sure.

        I’ve been abused by anti semites ever since Corbyn took over and a few of his remarks annoyed me and his momentum group started so it’s a no go for me

        Momentum is the problem here i feel, I'm so sorry you've had to put up with this crap in this day and age! I'm just a northern lad who has been abused since my grandparents, grandparents were young.... Tories never have or will do anything for the likes of me...

        That's what's wrong with the current Labour party, it's about penalising the doers and giving to the lazy! Tories are in a state, but the alternative is catastrophic...

        So targeting sick & disabled is worse than someone paying their fair share of tax? Genuinely sick people are being called ‘lazy’ by the MSM & some believe it. Citizens are actually dying but as long as little Jimmy doesn’t have to pay his tax then that’s ok? No. It’s not ok.

        No, I think genuine sick and disabled should be helped.... but the system was too far skewed to those who chose that lifestyle. It's gone too far the other way affecting those who need the help admittedly- hopefully a fair balance will be found.

        Maybe because Tory core values are inherently racist.

        Not many really want to vote Tory but unfortunately there is no other viable political alternative, @UKLabour don’t represent the working man any more #Stuck

        Not all that much of a puzzle, when you look at the suggested reasons at the end of the article Average age of Conservative Party membership is about 60, so they won't have to worry about it all that much longer
