For one who sticks to his principals. Quote

On 28 June (2016) he lost the vote of confidence by Labour Party MPs by 172–40.[95] He responded with a statement that the motion had no "constitutional legitimacy" and that he intended to continue as the elected leader.

I to don't want to go back to the 70's, but a terrorist loving leader is not a lover of mine. When he goes I will look a little bit longer at whether to support Labour. Pat you have again answered your own questions. Your defence of Corbyn ( or is it Labour ) is admirable. But again look at the state of this country. It is a mess, but Labour cannot scratch the surface to make gains against the Tories. They are a spent force in Scotland. According to the BBC news last night even seasoned Labour supporters in there heart lands are leaving them. They like me are torn between the two clowns that are JC and BJ.

You are so staunch in you support of Jezza, Maggie would be proud of you.

Tashy lad, now don't go ruling out Nigel. He's stuck by his guns throughout everything. With everything as it is, and if he gets the right advice on how to conduct himself over the next few weeks and what to say and stay on message (this is very important) he could even win!

Jezzer was voted for by Labour party Members, rather a lot of them, 3 times the amout that voted for BJ, it was blairite MPs that voted against him

how have you answered? i asked you about labour policy and all you come back with is anti Jezzer, and again you show your ignorance.. scotland isnt turning agaist Socilast ideals its turning SNP to get away from the south right wing domination of the UK. there would be very few torn between BJ or jezza... Scotland doesn't want BJ full stop.

as for that state of this country most of what we have now is down to the torys, past and present. i for one don't want to be govnd by them any more


how would she, her goal was to turn working men from working class areas in to Tory voters, ... FYI , ive never voted Tory and never would out of Principle.. ;)

not sure he can win as he'll not have enough candidates to sit in all the seats, he may be able to win a few but my gut is that they won't.

How the hell would that happen??

Because most people are voting with brexit uppermost in their mind, I suspect.
Thus, if the brexit voters didn't have brexit party on the ballot paper, i think they would vote for Boris.
If, however, a brexit candidate is standing and they vote for him, it weakens the Tory vote. And may do so to the extent that Labour or Lib dem wins that seat.
That is why there has been , and ,hopefully,will be, discussion between Boris and Nigel to get a" brexit "party in a working majority in HoC.
And though of course you don't have to divulge your intentions, I wonder who you would vote for if you had no Brexit party candidate on your ballot paper...
Not remainer Lib Dems😉

Win what, a seat?
That’ll be a first!

So nothing then.. my post was about Torys mocking him for being alsleep on a train...

The right wing dominated press like to indulge in highlighting Jezzas shortcomings... Because they can't quite find it in themselves to lie to the extent that the NHS is safe in Boris's hands... Stuff that the electorate are genuinely interested in...

harpo, in October 1992 the tories announced the closure of 30 pits. mine was one of them. i had moved house in March 1992 and had took on a 35k mortgage. i sat at the top of the garden, head in hands, tears in my eyes thinking wtf. how will i cope. Maggie did that. my loathing of the Tories is only matched by the inept performance of this current shower of crap that claim to be the opposition party. they should be smashing this Tory party. not just beating them. There is only one question to ask. Why not.

TBH though Tash, Maggie did that to many industries and Chatham Dockyard where both my dad and wife’s dad worked was one of them. Thousands of jobs lost not only directly but indirectly as well. Unfortunately the control by the unions over the Labour Party has also been just as bad, giving Maggie her fuel and lately the current leader.

Seriously, JC is horrible, but the Daily Mail is far worse publishing the picture claiming he was unpatriotic because he was asleep on a train during the England v All Blacks match.
The media are pulling our strings which leads to threads and posts like this!

Do they need other policies at the moment? The GE is ALL about Brexit. That's why it has been called. Jesus H, BJ hasn't got anything else but Brexit and is saying the same old tired Tory rubbish that we've heard time and time again. Corbin will put policies up, which shows how out of touch he is. Nigel MUST hammer home BREXIT BREXIT BREXIT, and he WILL pick up seats. LD's + everyone else. waste of time. Loony bins the lot of them.

They'll sort this out before declaring candidates.

I imagine a lot of Lib Dem voters will be remainers, it will go down great cuddling up to the a leave PM.

can't imagine it would but as i say she is power crazy same as last time. I'd imagine quite a few felt stabbed in the back over the coalition... but it didn't stop the leadership doing it;)

with any luck the SNP will pull out all the stops and take her seat

this will be the pivotal battle with in the GE. How much can Labour change the narrative and get people to focus on manifestos and not just Brexit. I think 6 weeks might just be enough time to do it. This is why he wanted no deal off the table. That means he can go to the electorate and say ‘let’s focus on other areas’ we are more than Brexit blah blah. It might just work, but to be successful Brexit needs to be quiet for a wee while. He also needs to be consistent in his message and not dither and change every two days.
 
first bit of trump fake news from the Dalek

This is the key line that got the crowd on their feet:"We will stop them. Labour won’t let Donald Trump get his hands on our National Health Service. It’s not for sale, to him or anyone." Cue chants of "NOT FOR SALE!! NOT FOR SALE!!"
