    A lot of the miners got on with northern police officers, the main issue was the London coppers who the miners despised.

    Because we need a strong & stable leadership with a mandate to take us through Brexit, not a coalition of chaos which is what it's looking like we've got.

    They still won the election. A majority of Scottish MPs in favour of a second referendum were elected yesterday. The voters had a clear choice and they supported MPs in favour of independence.

    They had more Scottish MPs when they had a referendum on the subject of Independence.

    It didn't help them then either.

    Theresa May's speech is like when Jose Mourinho said Man Utd's unbeaten record was still intact because Hull's penalty wasn't a penalty.

    I did. The SNP lost badly in one sense but still won a majority of seats. The Tories had a bad night as well, but didn't win a majority of seats. The government is now dependent upon the DUP and its own backbenchers to get its legislation through. I wouldn't call that a victory even though Theresa May remains Prime Minister for now.

    Interesting that Nicky Morgan just said that the Conservatives lost seats because they made it about one leader, a figurehead, rather than the local MPs who people actually vote for in their constituency... <whistle>

    Surely any party worth its salt would kick anyone's arse out into the cold if they voted against their leader?
