It's the way they are getting rid of them as well Eggs, it comes across as being a tad underhanded.

Not to mention the parachuting in of Corbyn’s constituency London candidates to places like Leicester East. Who’d have thought there was not a single decent Labour candidate from the city or surrounding areas.....

Claudia Webbe is from Leicester, pete

Awkward.

I completely disagree. They are the actions of a Party confident that they won't be held to account for their actions.

Exactly this. It's the equivalent of Trump saying he could shoot someone and his base not care. There is literally nothing shocking enough to move people like Pete's support for them, which is very unnerving.

It's no different to the way Putin is behaving on the international scene. He's taken over the last few years to being a troll on the international scene, as he knows there's absolutely no chance of anything happening as a result. This won't have gone un-noticed by the alt-right.

Ok, don't you know PM Jo Swinson... How is that hallowed center ground, bitter?

Boris Johnson states she is not, so therefore its true, simply logic, do as your told.

Then why did the Chair of the local Labour Party resign over the matter ?......

 

[peteblue]

Awkward.

Not really, she is a Councillor in the London Borough of Islington and the chair of the local Labour Party resigned over the issue.....

 

[Bruce Wayne]

It's exactly the right phrase. They keep it hidden, but it's there.

A bit of nuance from you wouldn't go amiss.

We're very fortunate then to have you, with your fluent Cantonese; extensive experience of Hong Kong history, politics, and society; and years of on-the-ground investigative experience, to ferret out the malignant claw of the despotic lizard globalists for us.

Thank you for your service.

Q.

This left on left academic frisson is gripping and disturbing in equal measure.

Oh what's this Matt Hancock wading in to first line NHS care with GP home visits, this is sure to awaken do as we say, not what we do. Now now, we can't make the NHS political.

GP plan to scrap home visits 'won’t fly', says health secretary Matt Hancock

Family doctors say they no longer have the capacity to provide home visits and want them removing from doctors' contracts.

He said it was because he didn’t think the party represented “decent working class“ people any more.

Now I think it’s possible to make an argument along those lines, but probably not when Keith Vaz has been his MP for most of those years without him resigning over any of it.

Chin up it's only the politics and economic legacy of the last 30 years that's playing out... The good old days, Thatcher, Major Blair Brown and Cameron/Clegg, it's enough to make someone cry...

It's really not. You perhaps noticed how many from that era, such as Major, Clarke, Hesseltine, not to mention those on the Labour benches, are appalled at the direction both of their parties have gone in.

They are appalled, though of course the fact that both parties have gone away from that lot is sort of connected to what that lot did during the years of them being in charge, and their general failure in political terms.

I mean take Putin as an example. How is it that despite everything he has done, the British (and EU) lives snuffed out because of him, that most of our political class are still unwilling to take any sort of substantial action at protecting our politics against his interference?
