Fair enough

Fair enough

Running away from scrutiny is fair?

Running away is your take. I suspect canvassing for the upcoming elections is more likely

Legally proroguing parliament.

It’s proof of the alternative I was referring to though. The question I responded to was why do people continue to vote for uniparty candidates. The reason I said because it’s better than the alternative is because that is entirely true for me right now and will be for a lot of others as the alternative is reform. That will be enough alone to make plenty still vote labour or conservative.

I’m not happy about it but that’s the reality.

Anyone that is in a constituency that does have an opportunity to vote for a candidate that supports pr and could get in, I’ll be cheering them from the rafters.

The ultimate catch 22

No time for Starmer but who would be a competent replacement.

How would anyone know the answer to that?

Thought he managed Badenough well at PMQs.

An unexpected take from yourself :-)

Isn’t part of the problem is that anyone can become an MP irrespective of qualifications and aptitude. Maybe, some minimum criteria is needed, and a zero tolerance approach to misdemeanours?

To be honest, Badenough played into his hands by being a dog with a bone knowing she wasn’t going to get anything that hadn’t been said previously.

Its a good question really, what qualifies anyone to be an mp or leader?

Indeed!

I personally see no competent replacement, and with regards to the media driven push for a change in government, the tories or reform with either Badenoch or Farage as a PM offer a dangerous and catastrophic decline for the UK. Reform being the resting place for the proven tory failures looking for an unelected and undeserved second chance in politics.

Those two lightweight cunts were calling for the UK to support the deranged fucker in the White House only a couple of weeks ago !

A lying dishonest person with no integrity

Expect a lot of "sorry, I can't remember...it was all saved on my phone."

Bang on as always from Cook.


Labour Together emerged as an exercise in democracy subversion to stop a socialist gaining power. And it then continued as an exercise in democracy subversion to install permanent guardrails against the Labour party ever being led by anyone other than a placeman, like Starmer, for the billionaires.

'The point was to make British politics a simulacrum of US politics: two main parties representing – and ensuring the permanent rule of – the super-rich, and mirroring minor internal differences in their perceptions of how to best safeguard their class interests.

'All of this happened in full view over the past decade. But it was impossible to get it into the mainstream.

The real story tying Starmer and Mandelson is being buried by a conspiracy of silence

The system is rigged – and the political and media class rigging it are not about to draw our attention to the ugly reality of what they have been up to over the past decade

History will be a lot kinder to May than she was treated at the time.

Only if historians can explain "Brexit means Brexit" and "No deal is better than a bad deal".

I remember in the '70's we used to criticise some European countries because of their water quality. People needing to buy bottled water for drinking was ridiculous, we said. If you go abroad on holiday don't drink the water, we said. Don't have ice in your drink, we said.
Nowadays in England we can't rely on tap water anymore except for maybe brushing our teeth with, or boiling it for a cup of tea.

What a state this country is in, 50 years down the line.

Where in the UK can't you drink tap water?

Unfortunately the quality of tap water in many parts of the UK is not good. Thats been proven by scientists. I didn’t say you couldn't drink it, I said you couldn't rely on it.
