Unfortunately, Labour don't fight dirty against the Tories. The only ones that have fought dirty have been the Tories and those Blarites in the Labour party that attempted to sabotage Corbyn's campaign with lies, slurs and innuendos. And now they have the brass neck audacity to try and jump on the bandwagon to save their careers.

McDonnell had the chance today to put the boot into the Tory state controlled BBC's bias against the Labour party but didn't. The Tories don't need any invitation to use lies, slurs and innuendos. Labour needs to do the same. The last time the Tories got in bed with the Ulster Unionists in the 1970s they got beat at the next election.

I think we may see a change in that now with the involvement of the DUP. Well, I hope more than think but yenno.

As a "europhile" I was disappointed to see the Lib Dems do so poorly.

They were the only major UK party advocating for a "soft Brexit" and they only got 12 seats.

I'm glad they lost heavily, paying the price for jumping into bed with the tories.

It's a shame we've lost Nick Clegg, a genuinely good politician but live by the sword and die by the sword.

The Tories are fighting dirty on Question time at the moment and the Labour people are just accepting it. They need to go on the attack about the Tories.

There's a reason they are called the nasty party

Isabel Oakeshott is an absolute ming

What she did to Vicky Pryce should really have forever disqualified her from the profession of journalism, if not polite society as a whole.

They are known as the nasty party because of the way they treat the sick, poor, disabled and vulnerable as well as spreading lies, slurs and innuendos. Gleefully spread bt the Tory media.

I find it funny this BBC bias thing, when EVERYONE thinks the BBC is biased against them despite their views then perhaps they aren't biased at all?

Laura Kuenssberg report on Jeremy Corbyn inaccurate, says BBC Trust

Never mind the state controlled Tory BBC's doctoring of the miners strike news footage during the Battle of Orgreave. To make it look like they were throwing bottles and bricks at the police and the police responded and charged on their horse and waded in with their boots, shields and batons. The sequence of events was the other way around with the police wading in and the miners responding. This doctored footage was part of Thatcher's coordinated campaign to portray the miners as the 'enemy within'.

The BBC are biased and it is not against the Tories but for them. Their hatred of Corbyn has been evident more and more led by the vast majority of their 'reporters'.

I have no problem with the right of association. As long as you understand that the Orange Order, members of which are very senior in the DUP, bans its members from marrying an RC and even from attending a Mass.

Foster in fairness attended McGuinness ' Requiem and deserves credit for this.

However if you Google what the OO stands for and replace Papist with e.g. Jew or Moslem how would you feel?

The male leaders of DUP are members of the OO.....Foster is a supporter but as said, she went out on a limb for that funeral.

It is what it is but for the PM to say what she said about friends is not good

They always thought they were liked when people started putting LOL on their messages.

The Lib Dems weren't advocating a "soft Brexit" they were advocating ignoring the referendum and basically holding a new one again and again until the plebs made the correct decision.

They did shocking because they had the weakest leader of the lot. Yes that's right in an election that had Teresa May, Dim Farron was still the weakest leader. A laughable little pipsqeek.

 

[arminisgod]

one of the best things ive ever seen on Question time.

"labour have ruined everything by stealing votes off the Tories"

 

[Joey66]

He basically said, you can't be calling Corbyn a terrorist sympathiser and then get into bed with the DUP which is backed by Terrorist organisations.

Labour should now be digging into the closets of those MPs that will try and prop up the Tories and bring it to the forefront before we do this all again.

I hear him every day and he is the most obnoxious presenter , I hit hit the off button - you try, and telephone him - he always argues black is white etc!
He is supposed to be a liberal - who bangs on about his catholic school etc so yes he would not like the DUP - he had a chance of the job on newsnight - he does cameo spots for the BBC - he can cut people off if they disagree with him!
he gets loads of threats on twitter he loves it!

There's only one party here who's leadership were involved in terror and it's not the DUP.

Loyalist paramilitaries, thankfully, get annihilated when they decide to contest elections.

All today has done is highlighted to me again how completely misinformed people in the mainland are about NI.

Tim, you are feeding that misinformation.

Ulster Resistance led by Paisley and Robinson. Leading Terrorists on the street.

DUP's George Seawright advocating "incinerating Catholics".

DUP's Willie McCrea sharing a platform with and idolising multiple Catholic murderer Billy Wright.

UVF terrorist David Irvine said he was in DUP leaders' houses and they tried to dissuade a Loyalist ceasefire.

Google it yourself Tim and read historical record.
