You know what, if his policies are well thought out and will ensure the survival of schools, the NHS, help fund social care and look after people with mental heath problems and other public services than actually, as I hope I look beyond The Daily Mail headlines/opinion pieces then yes, I can live with it.

Our labourite LBC fans not mentioning Ms Abbots interview on her reluctance along with Jeeza and his right hand man to vote against a bill naming some nasty organisations with terrorists aims.

Newsflash, Dianne Abbot is a bit of a clown and an electoral liability. Newsflash, so is Boris Johnson. 15 all, cancel each other out, how about looking at the manifestos etc etc.

Sorry Bri, tend to agree with most of your posts and maybe it wasn't the case with Corbyn, but sometimes dealing with a 3rd person or intermediate with no direct involvement is more acceptable to both sides in some conflicts.

I don't care who negotiates provide the outcome results in peace.
As the government had not achieved that in decades I am inclined to agree with Paul

I'll go for it if both parties are in agreement. Otherwise, no...

You 'miss read' my post.
I was talking about the interview with Neil and the BBC News coverage of the interview.
She said she would work with 'any progressive party'.......not sure if Labour or UKIP qualify under that heading.;)
There was no mention of Labour........BBC just repeated their 'error' again on 10pm news.

Was that the interview I watched where Andrew Neil tore her to pieces on Tuition fees, Education, and just about all her policies. Also, what is 'Progressive' about bankrupting your country and being a 'one trick pony' party who's main attribute is fooling people.

Is that the vote were their was over 40 groups lumped in together as Terrorist groups and of which 5-10 have now been deemed as non-violent and no longer on the list, totally agree there were also some awful groups on it, but to speed the vote up, they listed them together rather than giving MP's a vote on individual groups, Abbott and the like voted against the list not all the groups on it, unfortunately the truth gets in the way of right wing spin.

All depends on her hair day.
 
Just read who our candidates are in Mansfield.
Alan Meale, been MP for years and was proposed by the NUM. National Union of Mineworkers. Been a labour seat for 90 odd years and Mansfield is still a dump.
Ben Bradley, a 27 yr old Tory. Eh 27, give me strength.
UKIP candidate 67 yr old. He's there for the long term then.
independant and Liberal candidates. Never even heard of them.

well aren't we just spoilt for choice. Just read that Kenneth Clark stood as an MP twice in Mansfield but had his butt kicked.

Paxman also fails to lay a glove on May. Bad night for him.

Actually I thought May really struggled when put under pressure by JP. She was sold by the Tories and sells herself as not only being Strong and Stable but being straight and honest. In fact this evening she was anything but straight and honest.

Yes, like you Neil seemed to be ignorant of the fact that Education in Scotland is devolved, as is the NHS.
Nothing to do with a Westminster election, everything to do with a Holyrood election.
Did not stop the numptie asking 26 of his 34 questions and about 70% of the 30 mins on devolved issues.

It was also the interview when he insisted no English nurses had been made redundant when in fact over 3000 had lost their jobs.

'Tore her to pieces', goodness me what were you watching. :lol:

He made her look the Numpty She is. Whats your point about devolved matters, this makes her even worse as she has failed on all these issues while they are under her control. What I am about to say to you will probably come as a surprise but Sturgeon isnt an MP at Westminster so when she was interviewed it was to challenge her on her lack of performance in Governing Scotland.
 
The latest opinion polls from Sat are as follows:

CON 45%(-1), LAB 35%(+2), LDEM 7%(-1), UKIP 5%(nc)
CON 46%(-2), LAB 34%(+4), LDEM 8%(-2), UKIP 5%(nc)
CON 44%(-2), LAB 38%(+4), LDEM 7%(nc), UKIP 5%(-2)
CON 43%(nc), LAB 36%(-2), LDEM 9%(-1), UKIP 4%(nc)
CON 46%(-1), LAB 32%(-1), LDEM 8%(-1), UKIP 5%(+1)

The Tories still healthy in the mid 40's but the Labour are up on average 5 points from where they started on around 30% and the trend of the gap narrowing continues.

If the average of those polls were the actual result then it should still be a comfortable majority for the Tories but it will be interesting to see the mid week polls this week after the PM and the Labour leader's appearances on TV last night.

The lead looks unassailable to me at this stage with just over a week to go but you never know, and of course the polls have been wrong before, more wrong than right recently...

For goodness sake what a desperate attempt at deflection
Are you not aware that she is the leader of the SNP.

BTW the SNP out in force yesterday, about 40 supporters in a bus doorstepping/leaflet dropping in our rural villages.
Six page A4 leaflet........not one mention of Independence, mainly about her record at Westminster and SNP policies.

Tory leaflet four pages A4....23 mentions of Independence:whistle::lol:
