As you can see, they are literally standing ready to take over when this government fails laughter when they failed to negotiate enumeration chip with europe that works for all, to help create a europe for the many, for the future. That is our mission. The truth is that under the tories, britains future is at risk, whatever the outcome of this. Our economy no longer delivers secure housing, secure, well paid jobs and rising Living Standards. There is a new common sense emerging about how the country should be run.
