Current Affairs The General Election

Yep. The stupid and barely employable have done over those upon who they rely. Absurd.

Let’s hope none of them need them soon.

But Brexit and blue drink pet pet pet

The Tory MP of Blyth is a NHS worker. What a danger that person is.

Could be a manger who wants to get in on the sell off for all we know.

Imagine what global politics would look like if Rupert Murdoch was never born. Sack going back and killing Hitler it's Murdoch the old [Poor language removed] every time in a heartbeat.

Probably was a second brexit vote but no one still knows what brexit is.

But they think they do.

Can't say I am surprised, Corbyn and his hound dogs are tossers. Lost so many people who are diehards, hopefully Momentum get lost now and we get the Labour party back.

That's my hope - that the deluded Corbyn activists realise that they did the Tories more favours than the most ardent Tory campaigner could ever have done.

My fear is there is simply too many ideologists that have infiltrated the Labour rank and file to enable an electoral recovery. The electoral system also doesn't allow for a splinter party to do well, as seen by Change UK (albeit that was botched totally by some very egotistical and talentless MPs.)

I think a more realistic situation is that perhaps Momentum allow Keir Starmer to get in as leader as he's played a cute political game by being on the surface on side with Corbyn's nonsense but has retained an aura of being someone who is intelligent and has common sense. That's possible, but we could easily see the useless Thornberry or Long-Bailey in instead.

Truly staggering that someone in the NHS has fallen for all the BlowJob lies and false promises

Which Labour party is that? The same one that began losing votes in Scotland and the North ages ago?

Good to see the tv licence money has gone on creating just about every possible way of displaying stats you could ever wish for.

If someone could drive a truck over Jeremy Vine I'd be eternally grateful.

But they think they do.

Imagine the gaping jawed reply if you asked them what it was.

Had Johnson’s balls bouncing off it for the last 6 weeks, so she should be able to take it well.

You have to ask WHY places like that are going from Labour to Conservative, that’s the pertinent point.

If any staunch labour areas are switching then you know the party has really messed up.

Why?
1. The union movement not recovering and recapturing the ground after the Thatcher years
2. The legacy of Tony Blair - turned LP into a party representing the establishment elite; destroyed what the party stood for.
3a Postermodernist ideology pervasive in school and universities
3b Identity politics and the ascendency of individual rights over the power of the people to stand up to the establishment
3c the advent of the 'snowflake' generation and the lashback by older voters
4. Austerity policies leading to disillusionment and the rise of populist and divisive politics
5. 3+4 Fragmentation of the traditional left with the rise of the 'snowflake' mentality which lead many to the turn away from the left and identify with problems like immigration and the EU, turning away from siding with humanity and blaming it on the 'other'.
6. The bias, agenda setting of the media elite (see Manufacturing consent - Noam Chomsky)

Any thing I missed?

From the early reactions, it's going the opposite way.

Not their fault. Media all against Corbyn. Everyone's thick. Everyone's racist. Old people need to die.

Would it help if @Frang were at the wheel ?
