The Scots would never have started something that involved them spending money.

( duplicate )

He didn't have a majority, just as May didn't before him. There was the occasional support from the DUP to prop him up, but he then chose to ditch a substantial number of his own MPs.

The House of Representatives votes to pass the first stage of the impeachment process. Trump tweets that this is 'The biggest witch hunt in US history', so over 200 women accused, and 19 executed, in Salem wasn't ?

Most of us on here are not interested in your man crush.

So the £UK is nearly back to where it was 2 weeks ago.

Correct, a united Ireland would prevent it.

A stupid money-making idea imported from the States. You send your children around the neighbourhood, in the dark, demanding sweets from strangers. If any of them come to our front door I open it whilst holding one of our lurchers, who tend to be very noisy and bouncy if someone comes to the door. I tell them that the treat is that I will give them a head start to get back out of our gate, the trick is that I may be lying.

Where is he in the right ? He's wrong on how the PM is installed after a GE.

R.E.M.

Wrong - the Prime Minister is appointed by the Queen, on the advice of the Privy Council and at Her prerogative, as being the person most likely to command a majority in the House of Commons, usually the leader of the majority party. Therefore, by voting for a particular candidate in your constituency, you are endorsing that party's leader as a potential PM. If, however, the leader of a majority party in a GE loses his/her seat, then a nominee from that party's MPs would be selected. The only 'recent' exception was Churchill in 1940, who was nominated by Lord Halifax and endorsed by Chamberlain despite not being the leader of the Conservatives.

I beg to differ; Blair and Cameron were leaders of their parties during General Elections, and therefore whichever won a majority in the Commons would become PM. Anybody voting Labour in the upcoming election is endorsing Corbyn as PM, similarly voting Conservative is support for Boris. A hung Parliament, with a resulting coalition, is where the fun starts. Boris is currently an unelected PM, as May was before her GE, and as was Gordon Brown.

Happy Independence D..........oh ! Anybody found out which ditch Boris is lying in ?

Why bother, they are amusing enough with the dross they post, especially GM's predictions. Mystic Meg he ain't.

After Thatcher and May who knows, maybe third time lucky.

Any chance that you might retract your insinuations in the light of what really occurred ?

So, in the unlikely event of a Labour or LibDem majority in the GE, you'll bite your lip, accept the result, and stay shtum for 5 years ?

How would you have set up a team so low in confidence, ( let alone ability ), when playing a team including Aguero, Walker, Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva, Otamendi, Foden, and Mahrez ? If that's their reserve line up I fear for Saturday's match.

A reserve line up that includes Aguero, Walker, Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva, Otamendi, Foden, and Mahrez.

Which do you think is worse; our defensive coaching or our goalkeeping coaching ?

Has JWP touched the ball ?

Hung Parliament more likely. Does this now mean that the current Parliament finishes on Nov 5th ?

New Zealand's a bit far !
