Three good reasons why, as normally a Labour voter, I never voted for them at the last two Elections.

I suppose another reason would be Emily Thornberry. Almost a year ago she said she had instructed her solicitors to issue a writ for libel against Caroline Flint for claiming Thornberry had called her voters stupid .  Caroline stuck to her guns and almost a year later still nothing more heard about it. So another empty threat from the fat old windbag Thornberry, who has form for sneering at working class voters. It seems she still can’t grasp the fact that everyone likes Caroline, and nobody likes her. Making stupid public statements about issuing a writ then not doing it is one of the reasons why.

Leave Lady Nugee alone! Whilst her & her like are in the Labour party they are unelectable.

Fair point.. 

But with Labour ahead in the polls together with the Tories internal squabbling, perhaps the Corbyn free Labour party are more of a threat than previously thought. 

Having said that, the next GE is 4 years away.. 

[YerRopes 2,456]

After very publicly leaving No 10 via the front door carrying a cardboard box, Ben Kentish LBC now reporting that Cummings will continue to work with Govt until mid December.. 

Perhaps they should make their minds up..

Sorry to break bad news to you, but Labour has tanked and the Tories are on 40 and Labour on 36. Sorry.

That's asking a lot of this bunch, most of them have lost their minds...

No doubt it's in the context of tending his garden on behalf of the government.

There's obviously been a party backlash against BoJo's nonsense over the past year and he was told to get shot of his advisors or it'll be him that goes.

Probably not that important atm as the election is so far away.. 

However, the Tories do need sort themselves out.

With Covid, Brexit imminent, we need a strong united Govt to make the best of a very difficult situation. 

Don't think we've got that..

I would agree we need that, but I think the present incumbents  are way ahead of it's opposition. If you think todays things are bad, just imagine how much worse it would have been if Labour had got in. They would still be trying to elect a new Leader, whilst bodies would be in the streets.

Do youreally believe this rubbish, what bodies would there be in the streets, this comes straight out of the Dominic Cummins and Going, and Boris the Prime Minister Impersonators book of scare tactics

no one knows what would have happened if Labour had got in, but i cant see it being and worse than it is now
