    To be fair the Tories were so far ahead. Wonder how an election would go down now with the way that Tories have come across? May has lost the confidence of many of her own MPs, the party is in disarray, they've got more cuts to deliver, their media have turned on them, they've aligned with an ethical and morally questionable party and they're a public laughing stock. Technically only two bi elections need to be triggered to force a general election. Could be happening before the year's out. If it happens it will be Corbyn's last and best realistic shot. So you could get an answer to your ponderings pretty quick fella.

    And another thing.
    Her cabinet reshuffle left all the same people in the top jobs.
    Including the chancellor who was very much facing being bummed out if she had got her mandate.
    This just go's to prove how weak as piss she is - ****ing coward.

    No one who stands is fit to run the country, as you should never give power to those that seek it. However Corbyn is a far better bet than May, who will go back on any agreement as long as she can hold on to power. The other problem is most voters are ignorant, far too willing to believe something they read in a rag if it suits their belief system, truth means nothing and the first person to tell their story is generally the one people will believe. If you throw enough **** it will stick, like Brexit, people voting against non-existent rules and highly publicised half-facts.

    I'd still do May ass to mouth.
    Make her lick her own **** off my helmet after I give her an arse creampie & then send her to PMQ's with my spunk dripping into her knickers.

    As I said on an earlier post, I have voted Labour all my life, but IN MY OPINION....Corbyn is a fantasist who thinks taking back politics to the 70's is the way to go, also,I don't want a country effectively ruled by Len McCluskey with Corbyn asking his permission on UK policy decisions. By the way, I'm no May fan either.

    In the real world the Tory policy of tax cuts for the wealthy and austerity for the rest of us has only succeeded in doubling the national debt. Continuing on these tried and tested measures of failure are surely utter madness. Labour's policy of reversing the tax cuts to the rich and investing in order to grow the economy in order to increase tax revenue in the long term is at least a plan.

    Very tough ask. Going to rub a lot of people up the wrong way if they get all this. Especially area which effectively reverse cuts, if they get it and we don't they'll be marches on Downing Street. There's also Conditions to piss sinn fein off which won't end well.

    Who are all these first timer blues on here. Come on have a word with yourselves.

    Corbyn has more principles in his little finger than the Bride of Dracula has in her whole body

    I wouldn't go to the funeral of terrorists who had been setting bombs off in my country, on principle.

    Funny you don't mention the Tories making the Queen have a meal with Martin McGuinness. And now we have the Tories getting into bed with the DUP. Of course, I forgot, they don't have any connections with paramilitaries!

    Sinn Fein - DUP

    One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter with these. I know what I think of it but it's an explosive topic that I'm not going to get involved in.

    Conservatives and the DUP over Corbyn and Sinn Fein, every day of the week.

    I'm not sure that one is better than the other, but I agree with 83'......Tories and DUP over Corbyn (Len McCluskey) and the IRA......Never thought I would see in my lifetime politics in the UK sink so low.

    In the end I voted Labour as usual <laugh>
    The Tories still won by nearly 60% majority so it made no difference.

    I can't see Mrs May lasting much longer than the next few months - if that long.

    Even then, 60 seats is really 2 seats in the way our parliament works. Going to be tough for the Torries because everybody opposes their cuts. Has it been confirmed they're with the DUP? Last I head they had permission to form a minority government but they were only in talks with the DUP.
