Thank Christ he's no longer able to open that disgusting bigoted mouth of his

Yet 30% for the EU ref last year.

I think that's the reason we've seen a huge increase in youth turnout , they're furious and feel marginalised after that result and to use the phrase of the thread Corbyn tapped into that .

 

[edge]

I agree and am similarly grateful......I still don't rate Corbyn though........

He did better than I thought to be honest Pete, a lot better, can I see him getting power in the long run not sure.

 

[Mrk]

Well, at least we can't accuse British politics of being boring...

 

[jal123]

Not into Ukip myself, think they tapped into a mood in the country at the time and rode the wave.
They are doomed now

Farage has claimed this morning he has no choice but to come back into politics.

Someone needs to Off him, frog faced oddball.

The hand out to the DUP could potentially do to the Tories what coalition did to the Lib Dems - irritate and alienate vast swathes of its voting base.

Having the DUP propping up the Torys is a match made in hell. Anti women's rights, anti gay marriage, anti abortion, religious nuts, supporters of terrorist organisations in the UVF and LVF and embroiled in a massive fraud case paying their rich mates with tax payers money. Well done UK I actually feel sick

Yep that just about sums it up!

Depressing set of circumstances.

 

[Tubey]

Why so ? She will have 319 MP's, Corbyn has 261 and even if you gave him all the SNP and LD's would still only have 308..... she will carry on for a while, until the tories decide otherwise......

Because she lost seats in an election where she specifically asked for a mandate for Brexit with a sizeable majority.

She's shot. She clearly should resign, even if the Tories after her decide to go down the mad route of having the DUP prop them up and commit electoral suicide.

She is personally toast.

How is a dup coallition gonna go down with tory moderates?(whoever they are)

The majority of Labour MP's still don't want him and know that it's one thing promising the earth and having to deliver it. It makes for an interesting time though......

God no mate he would end up on t shirts , tattoos and posters on Eton walls like a right wing Che Guevara if he got bumped.

 

[Mrk]

Oh god, we all know where this is going...
