Class act. I’ve not posted much but have enjoyed reading the opinions of both sides, at least the civil bits.
Can this intern feck off, its not even funny anymore.
Hopefully Burgon can join McDonnell in never appearing in British politics ever again.
I've got a family lunch tomorrow, my brother has work so I'm going to be the only non-Tory there. I might go impale myself with some scissors.
Oh well. Enjoy the next 5 years of cuts and the rich getting richer. We’re out. #time4unity.
Yeah, England seems to be. Likewise Scotland doesn't and it'll be really interesting to see how the next few months play out. I wouldn't be surprised if Scotland just end up holding a referendum without Westminster's blessing if Boris says no, which I think he'll actually agree to.
For what reason?Amber Rudd thinks Boris is going to Pivot
At least the Tories will have to start actually owning stuff now, there’s far less places for them to hide.
All those banging on about "be electable" evidently that's to be a leave party. You'd have been happy for Labour to do that would you?
I'm not 100% sure on this but during the Labour leadership election voting wasn't there a mad rush of new sign-ups? I seem to remember some Brexit loving maniac at university saying he'd signed up as a Labour party member for it.
The whole process of allowing the public to vote for the leader is a mess. You need strategy in selecting leaders.
Absolutely batshit.
If only there had been signs that this was the case. Or signs that his approach to Brexit was alienating young voters. Like, say, repeated polls over a long time period charting this impending failure.
Such are the mysteries of politics I guess.
soundbites. Feck off Burgon.
They hurt people, so thanks but seriously feck your magnanimity.
Well if the exit poll is correct we have the answer to the question, can you win a UK election from the hard left? It's no if you are drunk and can't work it out.
Someone who's more afraid of the alternative maybe? Momentum's job was to persuade people they would be better for them, and they failed.
I'm in tears. I knew it would be bad but hoped it wouldn't be this bad. I was truly optimistic about getting a government that actually cared about it's people.
Who the heck is finding Boris Johnson charismatic and appealing though?
Another reason why Labour didn't do well, they're weren't convinced by Corbyn's cabinet
Got the alternative one on. Rinder can feck off. Talking about racism as if Tories aren't far far worse.
The same kinds of people who find Trump charismatic and appealing, and who thought it was just swell that W. Bush seemed like the kind of guy you could have a beer with.
The cuntry is fecked, they deserve what's coming to it.
Might as well be a single party state

Because he will no longer be beholden to the ERG. She was then asked how many of the ERG there are in the party now and she said it’s up to 80 now.
Christ, it's hard work at times.
The hard left is not going to win, screw what the right are doing at the moment. I'm saying Labour could and should come back in again, not all the way, but not so far out either. I mean, if they don't and we end up with another Corbyn what exactly do you think is going to happen again?
I'm in no way saying that's how it SHOULD be, but that's how it is. People becry, rightly so, these people voting for a government fecking us all over. But I also have to shake my head at how so many can watch this utter humiliation go down and just want more of the same.
I wouldn't go. Seriously.
Let's see how concerned the media and electorate are with racism in the coming years.
Oh well on the plus side they can get their 'kin Brexit done and damn well own it. No excuses.
I love how labour are now turning on Corbyn and blaming him. He was your hero an hour ago.
Got to see the tory out-laws this weekend. Going to be phucking horrible.
The solution seems to be pushing further and further to the right which suggests it's not centrism that's a winning strategy. It's fear and appeals to xenophobia and 'national pride' and the evil bureaucrats of the EU or the 'deep state', depending on where you are.
The left needs to be better at demonising its opposition to get those 'centrists'. But then they'll alienate their own core who are generally much stricter and less forgiving regarding their 'own team' than right-wingers who seem to accept just about anything from their own.
You are now, it wasn't clear originally tbh. It depends on policies really, I doubt a centrist Labour leader would've done much better unless they were backing brexit.
The only way this country will ever have a socialist government is if they get elected through the center then shift to the left.
Definitely not. I can't stand even thinking about friends and family that I suspect voted them right now.
...into the arms of America.
