Bet BBC sky and their political coverage had her and Swinson as head line news. Then Jo Johnson grew a backbone, can you imagine the spin doctors in LibDems reeling at his audacity.
Last refuge of the scoundrals that party the liberals wind me up no end.
Jo Swinson looks/sounds like a student union leader, hope they never have any hand on any power in this country again.

Andrew Neil just whooped Swinson there on politics live.

She won't fight that seat, she will get a southwest one they think they will win or maybe even Sheffield that Clegg used to have as the Labour bloke won't be standing and after his antics I doubt any Labour person would have a prayer of winning.
The question is which Corbyn supporter is in a seat they may lose and switches to fight Wavertree?

Yep. Was thinking that. They'll be gutted. A footnote to todays events.Bet BBC sky and their political coverage had her and Swinson as head line news. Then Jo Johnson grew a backbone, can you imagine the spin doctors in LibDems reeling at his audacity.

Maybe. I'd have thought the LibDems would have their candidates for safe and target seats sorted. She may have to wait....an inconvenience for a careerist like Berger, I know.....
Surely if she was a careerist and nothing else she'd simply have shut up and kept her seat as a Labour MP?

No, she weighed up the chances of getting shut of Corbyn and advancing herself through the neo-Blairite ranks, chose to become an attack dog for them and failed. Now she's where she belongs: with the rest of the inconsequential political lightweights in the LibDems.
''Nearly 200,000 people have applied to register to vote in just 72 hours, and more than half of them are under 35.''
Some more good news, cent see many tories being in that number! Hopefully they're spread out in marginals

It's fair to say it's been another good day for democracy.
- JoBro stabbing BoJo in the back and front
- Bojo and his guru's shock and awe early election strategy smashed to pieces
- More mainstream Tories slamming the lurch to the extreme right in their party
- EU calling out Johnson as a liar regarding fruitful talks
- Bojo the man-child left using words like 'chicken' and 'frit' and 'coward' - underlining what a tool he is for the electorate to observe
- Blairite careerist decides to decamp to the LibDems
I love the smell of napalm...it smells like...victory.
....I remember David Alton being Liberal MP for Edge Hill for many years. Pity Berger was bullied out, this Labour Party need to be clever and get centre ground voters on board.
Labour hopefully overturn Johnson, but it’s not the open goal it should be.

She was a bad fit for Wavertree. A Blairite parachuted in. That was at the back of the problem she had. A local should have been selected, but the then LP leadership chose to put her in there, and she used her position to undermine the new LP leadership and fail to act democratically by addressing the concerns of her own constituency party.
I hope Ms Berger is now a bit happier with her political existence in the party that best suits her and her views.

Finchley? Well she's got no chance there. Maybe she'll be looking to stop the LP winning? She's quite good at undermining the LP.
