The latest YouGov poll has Labour and the Conservatives neck and neck on 34 per cent, with UKIP on 12 per cent followed by the Lib Dems on 8 per cent and the Greens on 6 per cent.
A hung parliament looks the most likely outcome in May; but there is still time for the polls to change considerably. With or without the support of one of the smaller parties, Labour could edge it.
And so we want to hear from you: what should the next Labour government prioritise in office? Reducing inequality? Improving the NHS? Building more homes? Nationalising the railways? The environment?

I can only assume you misread it from your post history, of course.

Excuse me? Russia is the one pushing us. Constantly.
Murders in London. Invading European countries. Running bombers across our airspace.

An end to nepotism in high places: not likely to happen as the sons of various famous names like Straw, Dromey-Harman, Prescott and Blair are all trying to leap aboard the Westminster gravy train. They should also clear out of the cabinet the old waxworks who have hung on for too long like dirty glue. And make arch-hypocrites like Hodge Vaz and Field stand down, not to mention Gerard Kauffman who will be 90 if he survives the next Parliament. Can we afford to buy him any more +£8000 TV sets?
Labour is hamstrung with far too many old expenses fiddlers (some of whom like Dawn Butler who will be probably returning in May) and ageing Blairites in the PLP. I have zero confidence in them ,or in Balls and Miliband

Build more homes – saturate the market so that prices and rents become affordable for everyone and more in line with average wages. Everything starts with that. People should be investing in businesses (of all kinds) not Taking advantage of the U affordability and severe shortage of housing supply
Second – bring money creation back into public hands and away from the banks (who currently create money via debt- mainly pushed into property ). Reducing the deficit just makes money disappear from the economy and QE into the financial markets just inflates asset and share prices for the already well off/wealthy.
After that it’s wage growth so that most of us can begin to improve our standard of living. During this time a cap should be placed on top wages so that high earners don’t just keep widening the gap.
Rest is detail.

I’d say NATO has been pushing ever since Kossovo,but it is besdes the point.
The point is of course that confronting Russia while getting crap-listed in Europe and in Washington ( at the same time) is not very healthy.
The UK should be focussed on being either Washington’s Poodle OR being the best team-player ever in Europe. And really, the French position is ACHING to be usurped.
