Tell you want the tories under johnson are ruthless , vote agaist your gone no messing about.
Get a phone call off you go.
Tory party not at war with itself in one fell swoop.
Love to listen in on some of those calls.

I'm amazed that there's a sentence, written in the English language no less, that includes the words 'Boris (Johnson)' and 'self serving' and yet the former is not the subject of the latter.

I have stated, many times on here, that I regard all politicians as self serving........

 

[tsubaki]

Deadwood indeed, as they no doubt will be finding out tonight or early tomorrow morning.......

I think you are illustrating exactly why the Tory Party could well be six months away from ceasing to exist, pete. 178 years of existence and Boris has booted almost anyone who has actually ever done anything out because they did what he did, twice, less than a year ago. Him blathering on about Churchill and then kicking his grandson out of his party.

Well done, pete.

 

[Hawhaw]

Steve Baker; one of the better tories. Has said that they should now form an electoral pact with farage.

Might be the best way to sort this mess out, once they’ve got a landslide victory, we can leave with no deal and unify the county.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Which side of the politcial spectrum is she on though? Who funded the award she won? Were they left or right wing? See, it never stops...

I watched / listened to their coverage most of the afternoon.

You have lefties screaming and crying that it's biased towards the right and righties screaming and crying it's biased towards the left. In pretty much equal measure.

So, that leads me to believe it's probably just somewhere in the middle.

I dont know. But her work led to Facebook being fined £5billion pound, now im pretty certain their very expensive lawyers wouldnt be letting that happen due to a screaming left wing banshee who despised facebook.

It happend due to concrete evidence of illegal activity.

I dont understand how you are comparing peoples views and bias with actual evidence and facts...... sounds almost Trump like.

 

[tsubaki]

So will therefore fall and a GE will be called......do you see what he did there.......

... unless an alternate government can be formed

Does it not concern you that you are on the same side of the argument as someone named after Lord Haw-Haw, by the way? I mean it was bad enough with that racist last week, but this surely must be beyond the pale even for you.

 

[Wat Tyler]

I think you forget the ground Corbyn made up in the last GE and how he was received then...I dont know why, it was only 2 years ago!

2017

Opinion polls had consistently shown strong leads for the Conservatives over Labour. From a 21-point lead, the Conservatives' lead began to diminish in the final weeks of the campaign. In a surprising result, the Conservative Party made a net loss of 13 seats with 42.4% of the vote (its highest share of the vote since 1983), whereas Labour made a net gain of 30 seats with 40.0% (its highest vote share since 2001 and the first time the party had gained seats since 1997).

Or Gordon Brown didn't call Gillian Duffy a bigot.

Or didn't ruin the economy and steal peoples pensions. But yeah the whole bigot thing killed it.

Labour are going to lose a hell of a lot of support as over a third of their voters voted brexit, the Tory remainers will go to the Lib-Dems in their swathes as well.

I can't see anything but a Tory majority, Labour can not do it with Corbyn at the helm.

Okay mate, like that's gonna unify the country lol

 

[Wat Tyler]

Oh come on mate.

I'm sick of my Dad telling me the media are all against BJ and then my left-wing mates saying the media are all conspiring against Corbyn and remain etc.

It's untrue.

We have two of the biggest, most impartial broadcasters in the world in the form of BBC and Sky.

Forget the Merdoch rhetoric. They report the news. They have people on from both sides and it is covered equally.

You have left-wing print, and right-wing print. They each have their audiences. They each generally have the same amount of reach. Most people are smack bang in the middle.

So no, the media aren't to blame.

Can’t be serious here

If you think Brown ruined the economy then you've swallowed the Tory attack lines hook, line and sinker (and then ignored the last 9 years when the Tories have been in Government).

Brexit party and Tory pact in a GE would be a landslide. Unless labour get rid of JC and put someone like Tom Watson in, they’ve got very little chance.

Against the worst Tory PM ever. Triggers broom could have put up a better campaign.
