Don't most people write their first books in their spare time? If your outrage radar is going into overdrive over someone writing a book (specifically about their experiences as an MP) then I think you might be just a wee bit delicate for this politics lark, and you'll be unlikely to ever find anyone to vote for. Dennis Skinner might just about do you right.

Agree. Look beyond the Daily Mail hysterical stuff (you know, fu cking idiots saying stuff like "The SNP have got Labour by the balls") and we have a situation which while clearly far from ideal for Labour is not the golden ticket the SNP/SNP fearing betwetters think it is. If he gets the chance I hope Ed gets to write a Queens Speech and dares them to vote it down. I think in reality he will put nods to the SNP cause in there to respect the fact they probably have Lib Dem 2010 level of seats, but it will be a compromise the SNP will need to talk up more than Labour will need to talk down.

It's not a lie. Why on earth would Labour start talking about doing deals with a party that is about to take 30 - odd seats directly from them? Really weird people can't understand that.

Tomorrow (well, Friday) is when the real circus starts.

Totally, totally this.

I'll start him off... Yeah, but [name some random Labour person] did [some other thing] which if UKIP did it it would be all over the papers and no mistake. It's, like, a leftie conspiracy.

That bit where the duck quacked just now was effing brilliant.

Shurlock's nailed it here. Funny I don't remember any threads ever in more than a decade, or any significant discussion about something that happens at hundreds of weddings, gatherings, functions all over the country every week. Delighted to see this cause now seems to be awfully important to Ukippers and I look forward to Lord Duckhunter and the rest of the freedom fighters doing all they can to stamp it out. You fight for them civil liberties sisters - I'm with ya.

Box of frogs.

No we're not. Swansea would very likely need to win their last three in a row, and they have a run in that suggests they won't be doing that.

In the same way The Sun's headlines role in elections got massively overplayed back in the day, our Russell's gesture is as similarly inconsequential in the scheme of things. But I like Russell and I like Labour so go on my son.

A Labour government wasn't elected then.

What mistake?

Secondly I like the idea that you think you have caught me out. A Champagne moment for Torres. But, to help your woeful comprehension, Torres: If someone says they think something won't happen in the next decade, the idea they also think it won't happen in the next five years is what normal people call "a given". Clue: the next five years are going to run, you know, kinda within the next ten years. That's, like, how time works. Weird, huh? But yeah, you've right caught me out good and proper.

You seem to be confused about how often general elections happen. Clue: they happen every five years. Hence my reference to five years. Because that's when the next election will be. In five years time. Five years. Understand? Anyway there won't be a referendum in the next decade anyway. I'll happily stand by that sunshine.

Watched it all, and the series gets better as it goes on. I thought the first episode was okay but it gets warmer and funnier with each episode. Easily the best thing he's done since Phoenix Nights which isn't saying a great deal (and he is only a co writer on this too). His co-star Sian Gibson is great too, and out of nowhere will fly on the back of this. In a "gets lead role in new ITV comedy drama" kind of way. There will definitely be another series.

That's not the average working person to be fair. Most people who have "millions of pounds" at risk on their decisions are paid well.

Seriously, there are no replays in the League Cup. All the matches go straight to ET and then penalties. Get out of the pub....

If you come out with nonsense like that you deserve to be patronised.

There are replays in the FA cup but not in the League Cup right?

We were talking about a Scottish referendum not a European one. That may well happen in the next five years.

Torres's comprehension skills truly are woeful.

There will not be a referendum in the next five years you utter plum.

Keep frothing.

Not as woeful as your grasp of how this is going to play out for the SNP.
