Labour are unelectable, QED. Interesting, but not really a surprise as, regardless of what the parties might claim, this GE is all about Brexit, and many 'working class' areas voted leave.

Don Jr claims that his family's "sacrifice" in the campaign to get his father elected President is equivalent to the suffering of the families of US servicemen killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Unless you watch Dave Gorman, you wouldn't understand.

"I am a moron,......." Guided Missile, Brexit thread, post #7322.

You surely don't expect GM to read and understand the snippets he copies and pastes from the Torygraph ?

Hate to disappoint you, but he actually said it on Saturday, when he was in Yorkshire; "He then went to Doncaster to speak to some of the firefighters who had helped in the rescue operation, and urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson to declare the floods a national emergency so immediate financial help could be provided to families in need. He said: “If an emergency is declared - and it obviously is an emergency - then the Bellwin formula funding kicks in straight away. “That means there can be special help for people through the Department of Work and Pensions but also that local government gets the help its needs to deal with the consequences." https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/latest-news/jeremy-corbyn-calls-for-south-yorkshire-floods-to-be-declared-a-national-emergency-1-10095236

Levity is wasted on you, isn't it.

For all those assuming the GE result is a foregone conclusion, think on. The last 3 significant polls of the British public resulted in; 1) Brexit, despite everything the establishment and Government told us 2) Teresa May losing her majority in a poll intended to validate her negotiating position with the EU 3) Boaty McBoatface.

What do you mean "people like yourself" ? Go back through the Brexit thread and you will find a post, in reply to a point from Batman, in which I state that what should happen is that we leave, pure and simple. That was the result of a non-binding referendum, that both sides of the political divide said they would honour and implement. Obviously I would prefer that we didn't leave, but I am no way, shape, or form making any effort to thwart it. ( Mind you, I find the fury and spite from the leave side, under the current circumstances, quite amusing ).

When was the last Government elected by a majority of the votes cast, let alone of the electorate. Why is it acceptable that a party can easily gain 25% of the vote yet have a number of MPs measured in single figures ? Is either of these points 'democratic' ? Also, the poll published last week predicted the Conservatives gaining 5% fewer votes in the GE, yet gaining 50 seats. How is that representative ?

"In the month of September, GDP fell by 0.1%, as had been expected. But the ONS revised down the contraction in August to 0.2% from 0.1%. It was the growth of 0.3% in July that drove the economy in the whole of the third quarter." Yep, Boris is certainly playing a blinder. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-50373505

"Official figures are set to confirm tomorrow that the economy avoided recession in the third quarter, but are unlikely to dispel doubts about its strength." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/fears-linger-as-uk-economy-dodges-recession-7sklq3vrp

Some people are happy that decisions go their way, others are unhappy because those same decisions go against their views. Neither displays evidence of bias.

There are a few 'political tools' on here.

He'll pick the wrong letter format and end up asking for a contract extension.

Remembering when Saints finished second in the top flight.

No shots, no corners, only 2 touches in their penalty area. Utterly pathetic.

Is that what they are trying to do ? I was wondering.

So, who is there to decide when a Government is acting illegally ?

Just think, the people negotiating a future FTA with the USofA will, in all likelihood, be the same people who negotiated the May/Johnson 'deal'.

Ex Saint Olufela Olomola scored for Carlisle in the FA Cup.

Do explain why it is so.

So, did Speaker Bercow actually break Parliamentary rules, or did he test them to the limit, in the same way that BoJo and Cummings were doing?

It's only a lie if the speaker knows it is untrue, otherwise it is either ignorance or stupidity.
