I'm surprised May hasn't tried that as her latest meaningless repetitive soundbite.

 

Strong and stable.

Fair and serious.

You lost.

 

Straight out of the Crosby-Textor phrase book.

You haven't been paying attention. She has. Because that dictator in waiting doesn't seem to get it.

Labour rebellions again today, resignations and sackings a-go-go. Still a very divided party.  Will only take a small error or two from Comrade Corbyn and it will all fall to massive infighting again. 

Are you approaching this thing on a purely tribal basis? I have friends who do so, it's not a trick question. I would rather have the Tories than Labour based on a likelihood of more economic and personal freedom with the former. Obviously Mr Corbyn 's actual beliefs aren't what they say on the tin and I'd be appalled to see him in power, but where do you find the enthusiasm for snooper fake Remainer illiberal corporatist DUP loving May?

I'm operating on the basis of I'd rather have anyone in power than that 70 yr old student and his mates.  Trust me... May does not impress me one bit.  Few politicians do (if any these days).  I really struggle with people who actually love and adore a particular politician.  It is mind boggling to me.

I'm trying to work out if the Labour Party, when it's on a bit of a roll, is trying to divide itself into guaranteed defeat over Europe in a way that saw the Conservative Party diminish itself so much during the Blair years.

 

I probably won't be around to see how it all pans out in five years, but it's bizarre.

It also emphasises just how dreadful the Tory campaign was that they managed not to roll Labour Remainers over in the Leave heartlands when it was a live issue

Lawn Tennis Association trying to ban the strains of 7 nation army at Wimbledon ??

Sir Cliff doesn't know the words I suspect. I don't think they need to worry too much, SW19 not a notorious hangout of socialist revolutionaries. I guess they won't be changing the name of Henman Hill to Corbyn Coppice either.

Much less divided that the Tories as the next 2 years of Brexit negotiations will show. Story on the BBC about Davis being "hamstrung" by May a couple of weeks in is hardly encouraging is it? Umunna's vanity amendment was unnecessary and a number of those who've lost their jobs because of it are very unhappy about it. They voted for it largely because the represent seats with large remain majorities such as Cambridge. I appreciate representing the views of your constituents is alien to most MP's, some still manage it though.

All these rallies are great, keep them up. Sure to alienate the average voter as they realise Corbyn and his mates are still drinking cider in the student union.   Ummuna and his pals will be ready to cause problems in the next 12 months.  Jez had his one chance. Lost.
