Current Affairs Tim Farron resigns.....

[neil999]

It'll be a million years before any LD becomes PM.........

Bit far fetched that mate, try a billion..

I agree that it's complicated and messy. Capricious electorate too. General Elections are always different to local by-elections (can still recall youthful hope after Orpington for gods sake!).

But the ground is currently unoccupied....big chance for somebody who can speak for the remainers and reformers. I may as well not vote at all as it stands, I live in a rock solid tory constituency. And I hear nobody articulating anything that is even remotely in that central patch. A lot of work but a huge opportunity. Somebody who can put the facts, the reality and the thinking back into British politics. If only.....

I hear you, and feel much the same.

As in all major incidents now the representatives of the police, fire service etc are quick to come forward in a phalanx and talk to the media. It's happening right now in fact. It's as though they feel they have to protect themselves somehow.

Politicians and council officials are the ones who should be out front doing some explaining. Leave the emergency services to get on with the job.

I don't feel bad for him, one bit.

Imagine being young and gay, going into school and seeing a mainstream politician say that what you do is a sin.
