  1. The Marxists are mostly in bed, got to keep the site traffic up.
  2. Who's fault is that? If Labour hadn't presented such a god-awful choice they'd have strolled into No.10. Instead they disappeared up their collective backsides and made the voters decision for them. For anyone on that team a little self-reflection will go a long way in the coming months. The alternative is dissolving the electorate and getting a new one.
  3. Fair enough, I think there's often more to learn from people you disagree with than those you don't.
  4. Seeing the polls and seeing the reality is still jarring though!
  5. None needed, I'm quite well oiled and slowing down now... If your objection is to Goodwin I highly recommend his book "National Populism: The revolt against Liberal Democracy". Rammed with insights. Tories have taken Workington comfortably.
  6. John Tasioulas, Matt Goodwin, Tim Haughton, Eric Kaufmann, Philip Blond , Bruno Macaes, David Blagden, Tim Bale, Anand Menon, loads. I'll have a dig through my twitter follows tomorrow if you like.
  7. Ian Lavery's seat being recounted. If he gets the chop at least he managed to get £160K out of the miners pension fund to pay off his mortgage.
  8. That's Blairism, which to be fair proved fairly successful but was repudiated as the devil's work by Corbynistas.
  9. I follow a lot of political scientists, they've said it consistently for two years based on the data they've gathered. Most people are okay with state intervention in some areas, a strengthened social safety net and better redistribution. Corbyn isn't that, he's as far left economically and socially as anything else we've ever had in this country. Johnson isn't the hard right bogey man the left have tried to paint him as. We need to thin out the election propaganda and get some perspective on where the parties really stand, imo.
  10. Centre left on economics + centre right on social/culture = majority in UK.
  11. You think people who voted for Brexit hate their own kids? Seriously? Dude, I hope you can rethink your general take on the 'opposition' once things calm down.
  12. Tom Watson left at exactly the wrong time. Sane Labour need some political warriors to retake their party, Jess Philips isn't going to cut it.
  13. Wow. can I get some salt with my Twitter feed? Corbynistas doubling down and blaming the few remaining Labour centrists, not their spectacularly useless messiah.
  14. Farage has shouted from the rooftops for months that this was his strategy.
  15. Tories sunk by Farage in Sunderland. Wonder how many times that will repeat tonight?!
  16. If you called them the scotch they’d mostly headbutt you.
  17. Revoke - my leadership/seat/political future. She’ll be eating camel nads in the jungle next year.
  18. More importantly, has Soubry won? Gin distillers across the land are in a cold sweat - like Anna, most days before noon.
  19. Why, Labour lost? The £ looks like it’s been launched from Cape Canaveral. Investor fear of Brexit..? It’s almost like we’ve been spoon-fed cobblers for 3 yrs.
  20. They kicked out the people who worked in government to stymie Brexit, then voted from the back benches to hand the order paper to people trying to do the same.
