I'm sure we'll hear Fiona Bruce attacking a Conservative for how far behind they are in the polls.

Labour really love bank holidays.

The only way they think they can get in is by bribing the general public.
Why doesn't he make St George's Day a BH too? And what about the Welsh and Scottish ones?
Especially if it is on a Sunday.
It would make more sense to have a bank holiday for a Patron Saint from this country, or am I missing something here?
NopeNot sure who it is but there is an obvious Tory constantly changing the title to this thread and it's getting ridiculous.
Was the plan in the last election to make all the patron saints days into bank holidays. There’s a lot of evidence that it would improve our economy to have more bank holidays because people spend more on bank holidays and a few extra days off a year wouldn’t effect productivity.

Fair enough. I like that idea.
Yeah, St Edmund, the true Patron Saint of England. Feck George who had feck all to do with England except being liked by a French king. All hail St Edmund's day.
Yeah but he killed a dragon bruh. He’ll the Night King, only good. Wait a minute, what if the NK is good?!?
I’ve been drinking
That's him!
If that's true it's patheticTweet

Absolutely pathetic at this hour. Why did Corbyn not sort out the Tory division and negotiate a deal with the EU much sooner?
Oh dear .As he upset the moderates again.
While I enjoy a laugh at Corbyn's expense as much as anyone, let's be honest it would have made feck all difference if he was there. In the sense that May wasn't there to negotiate anything in the first place.
How's that relevant? If she were there to negotiate, he's done one instead of representing his party.
I think the Corbynistas have completely missed the point. Of course the meeting was a farce.
That's not the point.
That's not the point.
And if my nana had balls, she'd be my grandad. It's the only thing that's relevant to me. The actual progress of things, rather than appearances.
Does he look childish for this, yes in my eyes. But it's entirely inconsequential and was always going to be. May just wants to push on with her deal regardless of what other leaders say.
They're wilfully missing the point. They'd get it if it were the other way round and we'd be in floods of s at Ummuna's expense.
s at Ummuna's expense.Even if you're a big Corbyn fan, walking out of a meeting because of someone as irrelevant as Chuka must surely be seen as a needless (though minor) own goal at a time when the Tories are doing a stellar job of drawing criticism on themselves?
Obviously it was a totally pointless meeting, the only thing that even vaguely mattered about it was the optics for those involved. So why make them bad for yourself through your own unneccessary actions? Nobody should have even been mentioning Corbyn this evening given the shitshow leading government.

It's not inconsequential; he had no idea what was going to happen in the meeting before leaving it because he saw someone there he doesn't like. If the contents of the meeting had never come out both he and the Labour party would have no idea what was said in it.
No idea
You'd have to basically not be following politics in the last 3 years to think May would extend any sort of olive branch at this point. She was there to tell people, not negotiate.
I mean feel free to laugh at his expense, I won't stop you I find it funny too. He's constantly proving he's not capable politician, never mind leader, and we've all learned that by now. But today it didn't really matter either way.
No one cares or is even talking about this except people on here and twitter. Most people won't even know there's was a meeting.
People on here and twitter are still people though. People who help dictate the narrative surrounding government (the twitter people that is, not our useless bunch). Whereas it could have easily been the case that no people, at all, were currently talking about Corbyn doing something stupid.
It's not about accepting an extended olive branch. It's about portraying strong and pragmatic leadership of his own party and potentially the country, which is what he professes he wants to do.No idea

He's incapable of portraying such qualities because a) he doesn't have them and b) he's not very good or inclined at faking it. This is not news, really.
I’m far angrier about Chuka.
If it’s possible to simply walk out of a recognised party, start your own while resisting wide spread calls for a by-election, and then actually show up at a meeting of political party leaders then what’s to stop anyone from doing it?
The irony is that Chuka appointed himself ‘spokesperson’ while saying he didn’t want to be a leader...
He also rejected chance to stand as Labour Party leader.
Corbyn is absolutely right to insist that a time of national crisis shouldn’t be used by one individual to seek further attention.

Neither here not there in the scheme of things, though it does hint at why this could never be a cross party process.
And the newspapers and the TV stations (no-one noticed) shhh!
Yep. The statement from May demonstrates as much.
It’s absolutely not childish to insist that something so important isn’t crashed by a vacuous attention seeker who simply doesn’t represent a political party. They aren’t registered as a political party and nobody has ever voted for them.
They only exist as a ltd. company.

Your right but I've long checked out from the idea that actual day to day narrative has any real meaning in the UK. There's was a good example of this a few weeks back with the story of the women from Isis who wanted to come back to the UK. There was some data(I posted a tweet about it somewhere) that showed this story was doing tons of more views than any other story, it was the one news story everyone was talking about yet on twitter(I fellow a somewhat decent rage of people) the main talking about was Brexit. And there's just countless example of this.
The general public are taking in and talking about politics in a completely different way.
May statement was a massive waste of time. Looks like it's convince the speaker to hold a third vote and then win it or it's no deal. How the feck did we get here? Shambles.
Er.....ok . I image the daily mail and the sun are against Corbyn because of he's ''gaffs''. Also most people get their tv news from the 10 min BBC news program.
It might be a shock to you but most aren't having sky news pumped Kubrick style into their eyes 24 hours a day.
No one knows who or what is funding them either!
You can only laugh. We are a mess. Someone just decided to out a bunch big feckwits in parliament.
