She'd be great for SNP.
"So Diane, what's the basis for Scotland to be an independent nation?"
"Hermdy durr derrr, sorry I feel ill I'll have to leave"
The reason the SNP won 57 out of 59 seats last time is simply because all the thickos are in Scottish Labour.
You only have a right wing press demonising the SNP as they did with Corbyn. But, similar to Corbyn when people hear what they say rather than the shite rags like the Hate Mail et all portray them, they ignored these right wing lying racist scum bastards.
Same with Corbyn showing how easily fooled you all have been down there. Brainwashed I to believing voting in your own interest was wrong.
At least eyes have been opened and the press shown for what they are.
Utter lying cunts.
That's what they did with my daughter and her bunions. Treated by a Scandinavian doctor who was effectively a butcher. Not a good outcome and waste of taxpayers money. She decided not to sue for medical negligence.I don't have any problem with increased privatisation of services so long as it's quality service and free at the point of delivery. What's your problem with that exactly? When you do your knee in and the NHS says you need a ligament op and we're going to send you the Spire hospital up the road where they have great facilities and skills, what on earth is your problem?

I agree with that. I think we do, to be fair. Hence the outcry over the scheme that people like Gary Barlow was involved in.
Gary Barlow is relatively poor though, compared to people like Lakshmi Mittal, who most people will have never heard of.
Is it Theresa May's hubby ?
Maybe something of an aside - but rather than blame the press etc. why not have a look a bit closer to homeI think the damage was done before the election when there was a huge smear campaign against Corbyn in the media. Remember when he was 'unelectable'? He might not win but I can assure you that there isn't a Labour MP alive right now that would get as many votes as Corbyn will do on Thursday.
I would suggest that the PLP should shoulder a large part of the blame from your POV
With hindsight - given how well it has gone for him - what could have been if the Labour party had not spent so much time in-fighting and cementing in the public mind just how 'off-beat' Corbyn should be considered to be.
The Conservatives will off course have a pop at the Labour leader - as Labour attack May
The right leaning press will attack the Labour leader as the left leaning press attack May
So for me the Labour Party followers should look less to blame others and take more responsibility themselves

I think the Tories will win tomorrow, but it won't be the complete white wash everyone expected when the election was announced.
Jeremy Corbyn has been an absolute credit to himself, his party and the voters.
If this election was a football match then Labour would have been 5-0 down at kick off but when the final whistle goes they will have lost 6-5.

I personally think another 5 years of Tory cuts will be devastating for this country, especially with the Tory planned 'hard Brexit'.
However...
Although this may be bad for the people, NHS, police, schools etc, I think it may be a good loss for Labour themselves in the long run.
I think Brexit is going to be a big mess and the negotiating party will get a really bad reputation with the public because of it.
Labour can run against that in 5 years time and get themselves into power again when we're completely on our arses.
In fact, I'm 99% sure that will happen.
A better leader wouldnt have been 5-0 down at kick off. Perhaps 1-0, but not 5-0. And, playing against opponents that had hung up their boots and were having a fag, would have scored more than 5.

Sorry to hear that mate, but you could come up with the same story for people on NHS treatment. My father-in-law's bodged hip operations have been a bloody disgrace and he's ended up being in hospital for months, costing everyone an absolute fortune.
I don't think you can use anecdotes like this to determine policy. Outsourcing done well can work, and obviously done badly, is a bad idea. Those in the NHS dead set against it, sometimes put forward the argument that what gets privatised are the straigthforward and cheap procedures, allowing the private company to make a tidy profit, whilst the NHS picks up all the difficult and expensive work with less money available. I'd be against that obviously, but I don't see why it needs to be like that. If someone can undertake a simple cataract or knee op and do it faster, more efficiently, cheaper and just as well as the NHS, why not.
But if they get a 40+ majority there will be a full term surelyThink you are correct about tomorrow but we will not have to wait for a full parliament. They will loose a vote of no confidence at some stage.
