On thing that wasn't mentioned during the whole campaign from any of the parties was the military (apart from Trident). But who was is the country turned to recently when the national terror threat was elevated, or when G4S cocked up at the Olympics in 2012? Remember the fuel strikes back in 2000 when military personnel were used to escort fuel trucks from the refinery, or the Fire Service strikes in 2002?

If Corbyn gets his way, the military is going to get decimated, and you certainly aren't going to get the police force to be able to undertake the same roles, however much of the money saved on the military is thrown at them.
Do you mean in the same way the tories have been doing for the last 7 years?

If Corbyn gets his way, we'll have an adequate police force and won't be needing as much of an army as we won't be sticking our nose into other countries' affairs when not wanted.
 
Yeah! We should get back to how dangerous getting into bed with the DUP is.

A letter guaranteeing existing funding to NI...
...with the DUP and other parties in NI...

Hardly "getting into bed". You'd think the Tories would give up on distortion and lies but no, that's still the way it goes....

The military has been decimated. Not by Corbyn.

Tories give Olympics security contract to a company whose directors donate to the party and then cock up and you think it's great that the army were called in!

Incidentally, there should be an investigation into how much anti-Corbyn stuff has circulated semi-officially within the army.
 
Watching Conservative MP's going alone with the stability needed line and seeing them try to be positive is hilarious.

If I was Corbyn I'd be looking for a meeting with the entire party, ask them who's with him and with those that are shape a new cabinet and crack on with preparing for another GE in the very near future. One which they would win a majority.

PLP meet Tuesday. It will be interesting to see what comes out of it.

Well they may have to wait 5 years. Why do you think the Conservatives have gone to ground barring a couple of Remainers and Tarzan?

How do you define an adequate police force?
I ask because as far as I can see based on crime statistics the police force are doing a great job.
