Great as well to see Gove this morning, rather than talk about how the Tories will help the people of Britain; he just wanted to slate the opposition.

We are still all fcuked.

[techieboy]

Bye bye Steptoe. You're out of here. Hopefully McDonnell will stick by his promise to fcuk off as well.

Long time since I’ve cried on here. You’re a bad man Techie

This is still cracking me up. Haven’t laughed so much for so long.

Labour need someone like David Milliband who would be a respected face of the party. Sadly I wouldn’t bet against Old McDonald taking the helm.

(Wonder if Blair is prancing round his kitchen singing told you so, told you so?)

 
Here's another one for you, Pete

Is it any surprise that Labour did so badly, they can't even put their shoes on right!

Ha ha, I thought because they were both left shoes, she was trying to impress him.

Very pleased to see all the party splitters and most outspoken loosing their seats, Chuka, Soubry, Grieve, Gyimah etc etc

The law should be changed for any MP that leaves their party mid-term (voluntarily or not). The people they represent should automatically get the opportunity to decide whether they still want that person as their representative in parliament. ie. Re-stand for election immediately.

Would certainly make a few think twice wouldnt it, quitting work means just that, immediate by election.

 

So who is on for the labour leader, i am going for Long Bailey.

Please let it be Diane Abbopotumus.

That’s funny, but not in the same venomous spirit as Steptoe. That’s a classic. I’ll have that on the wall of The Den.

Corbyn totally underestimated the intelligence of the majority of Labour supporters.

 

1. They realised he was intent on just blocking every Tory policy whether it was right or wrong

2. They realised that if something sounds too good to be true then it’s not going to happen. The grand giveaway was never on!

It was wet, cold and pissing down. So the youngsters stayed in their pits and on twitter and facebook on their shite Apple devices.

Well, that's one theory anyway!

Also good to dispel the (another remainer) myth about the "young" voters making a difference, despite an increase in voting registrations by under 35's, turnout was pretty similar to 2015/2017, amazing when my 87 yr old mum managed to get to the polls.

 

Pretty impressed Boris is spending this weekend heading off to the northern Labour heartlands where he took the Labour vote for in some cases a century if not decades.

Classy move by him. He had a knack of holding it together as MoL and I have a feeling we will see a different Tory govt. Style under him. I hope to not be disappointed!

Well the much needed 70's purge needs to be on with Labour. It's so funny listening to them on the radio naval gazing all doing anything other than recognising that it was Corbynism what killed them off. 

[techieboy]

It's only moderate centre-left people doing the navel gazing.

The Cult of Corbynites are still in denial and blaming the "main stream media", MI5, America, the Jewish lobby, Russia, the World Government, the Illuminati, the banks, Artifical Intelligence, the weather, phases of the moon, melting icecaps, the dog eating their homework, sugar levels in foods, Bovril no longer being meaty and finally the low IQ and uncaring nasty disposition of the child killing general public.

The real problem is, Momentum have, over the last 2.5 years (since the leadership challenge), seized control of the levers of power in the Labour party. They have total control over what happens next and who it happens to. Whilst they're still wed to their Student Union dogmatic political ideology, there's no way a centre-left New Labour type candidate can or will be allowed to emerge.

Somehow, normal Labour types need to find a way to break Momentum and Unite's stranglehold or they are fcuked for the next election too.

^^^ Perfectly reflected today on Sophy Ridge on Sky, an interview with Caroline Flint who lost a labour held seat for 100 years, couldnt have been more critical of policies/manifesto, brexit position, corbyn and other mp's and she names quite a few (namely the front bench), yvette coope etc and others who represented leave areas but continually blocked brexit and then Richard Burgon in the studio, nothing wrong with the policies, nothing wrong with corbyn, nothing wrong with the brexit position etc etc, the blame was solely laid at the feet of the lying tories and media attacks on corbyn/labour.

Yep several nails on head Techie 

[techieboy]

Burgon is a weapons grade moron. He's the very definition of the problem this Labour has, with regard to public perception outside London. He must have been a really sh!t lawyer before getting in to politics. As great as it was to see that nasty piece of work Emma Dent-Coad lose her seat, it would have been better still to have seen him lose his seat.

Got to feel a bit sorry for Caroline Flint. For the last 3 years she's tried to steer a route through the minefield of Labour policy to respect her constituencies Brexit vote and recognised the importance of not effectively calling her constituents morons. She's been marginalised by Labour HQ and effectively kneecapped by their policy of ignoring Brexit and those awkward voters from the North of the country. The Momentum fcuknuggets in their hardened bunker probably celebrated when the result came in.

Wrong-Daily has been anointed as the next leader (assuming she wants it) already. She's female, she's from the North, she's never uttered a word of criticism towards the leadership and she fully buys into the harder left policies. Perfect continuity choice.

[Jetpilot]

Funny you mention morons, Caroline Flint said she talked to Thornberry about her constituents not wanting to vote for Labour and its policies, Thornberry apparently said well they must be thick then!!
