    She's not just losing, either. She's had the biggest loss and the fourth, IIRC. The second and third happened on the same day.

    They should both go, in my opinion. Utterly useless Prime Minister and Labour still trail in the polls.

    Here's the thing about opinion polls: all we've heard is how opinion polls ingot it wrong in 2016 about both the EU referendum and the Presidential election, yet apparently they're gospel truth about where Labour sit in the polls - even though that one was proven to be hopelessly wrong when they predicted a landslide victory for the Tories in 2017, rather than the reality of them having to shake the magic money tree to find £1bn to bribe the DUP with to stay in power

    Or, to put it another way, those same polls recently predicted The Independent Group Ltd would get 10% of the vote at an election - even though that is literally impossible when they have 11 seats out of 650, and they're guaranteed to lose most of those come election time

    It's almost as if opinion polls' data is based on Daily Mail front pages instead of voting intentions

    Corbyn's really not popular outside of Labour party membership, though. He's a bit toxic.
    I'd like him to go because he's a Brexiter, but I don't think that he's the right person to lead them regardless of that.

    At a time when the country needs a viable Opposition, we have a stricken Labour Party with Corbyn (for good and bad reasons) who couldn't win a one ticket lottery!
    UK is royally FECKED!

    If the number of votes increase due to Corbyn being in charge of the party, for example I live in one of the safest Tory seats in the country yet the Labour candidate picked up over 20,000 votes for the first time since the constituency was created in 1974, that's not a sign of Corbyn being toxic - and that's hardly one case, for example somebody as demented as Joan Ryan won by over 8000 votes on a Corbyn ticket, which is four times what she got under Miliband or in two out of three Blair elections, while she lost her seat under Brown

    Is there an article in the EU regs that allow them to kick out a country who's government is taken over by rabid monkeys?

    Just got a mailshot from comrade/citizen Ryan.

    60% of the text is about her Irish parentage (violins out) .
    Four sentences are about "toxic" comrade Corbyn.
    One sentence is actually about the Enfield constituency.

    A nice precis on the true political poison : the
    "brood mare" constituency, and the electorate therein who
    do not realise that is all they are.
