Strange how that logic does not seem to apply to the SNP in Scotland.
BBC now joining in by saying that 24 is a greater number than 35.
Oh great joy, Gove and Viceroy Muddle back in the cabinet.

Have the BBC got Diane Abbott working out their numbers for them?

Yup, and their budget but not the salaries.

On thing about Diane Abbott. I would suggest that it the tories and their supporters spent more time worrying about their own policies and leader instead of taking every opportunity to take the **^& out of her then they may have connected a bit better with more of the electorate.

I think that applies to their whole approach towards Corbyn as well. Concentrate on your own game and everything else takes care of itself. They ended up looking like nasty bullies again, if only they had a leader who had spoken out about nasty parties before and so would prevent this from happening.....................
Incidentally, has DA been seen since the election? JC needs to sort that one out as surely he can not leave her in any form of shadow cabinet position.

I think you are getting a bit confused on this. I replied to a post about the petition suggesting it was a waste of time. You quoted my post and linked my statement to my opinion on the coalition between the Conservatives and the DUP. My comment that these petitions are a waste of time and never achieve anything is a different matter. If you want my opinion on the coalition then just ask me as a separate question.

It was not that which I was saying was the truth of the matter...which I think was quite clear from my post.
And I have no idea whatsoever what you mean by 'Christian speak'

Well said - especially as we do not actually know how Diane Abbott is. She could easy have had a nervous breakdown given the stick she was getting and the pressure of the situation. Indeed her mistakes may well have been down to her state of mind - a state of mind that she had been covering up or trying to manage. We just do not know.

Well it might as no date has been set. But I suggest that it will not go ahead i the near term - and if it is cancelled it will Bragger who cancels it as he could not bear the ignominy of the invitation being pulled.
Maybe he feels you are being very un-Christian in your name calling...

Well...in my tradition - in having a belief and a faith I am forgiven all of my sins up front
Would I have been similarly pulled up if I referred to a certain Tony Bliar?

The UK has a system, we voted and the Conservatives won more votes than their competitors- live with it.

The Tories won 43% of the vote, the others won 57%. Can you live with that?
Besides - the GE was not a referendum, in the end the actual %s do not matter that much - what matters is the numbers of seats - because it is on the numbers of seats that the Tories are claiming the right to form the government.
So the Tories do not have a majority of the vote and they do not have a majority of the seats, these are simple facts.

I have no issue with them winning more votes, it's called democracy.
You seemed to be the one having that issue.
It's the deal with the DUP that is upsetting those who voted for them and a leader who won't take any responsibility.

Too many things to be sorted out so that Tory Backbenchers; the DUP; and the White Queen of the North are not upset or feel left out.
May messing about with Queenie, now that won't go down well with the DUP
Meanwhile the Orange Order is reported as going to the DUP asking for Arlene Foster to require the ban on certain Orange Marches to be lifted. So likes of Portadown and Dumcree marches back in the calendar - have we forgotten the chaos these marches caused.
This is not good. Sinn Fein now saying that no Tory-DUP agreement can be good for NI. The Good Friday Agreement must not be undermined. I have absolutely no doubt that peace in NI must remain the number one priority at the moment - ahead of almost anything else - including survival of a Tory Party government.

Anyone know the earliest date we can be back at the polling stations?
I reckon we'll be back in weeks rather than months....
