    I don’t think it reflects well on you, mate. You can favour the Tories and not blindly back everything they do and say.

    TBH mate I know the party and I know their politics. I have disagreed many times with the party and sometimes with how they have handled things in the past.
    However
    I would ask a simple question... would I rather have this Tory government with some great new young MPs or that shower of #### disguised as an opposition? sorry Watford but the answer is simple. It wasn’t just me that thought that. The country told us.

    Hilarious. The double standards of some people with their piss taking speaks volumes about them! Why does this woman always look like she's smirking when delivering bad news?!

    Nah......there is always a tier in their hatred.
    The Tory bit always seem to make them a bit colourblind anyway.

    I kind of agree, although I can't quite put my finger on why.

    Obviously found something to do in the embassy

    Assange 'secretly fathered two children' in Ecuadorean embassy

    Julian Assange secretly fathered two children while living inside the Ecuadorean embassy in London, his partner has revealed.

    Stella Morris says she has been in a relationship with the Wikileaks founder since 2015 and has been raising their two young sons on her own.

    She spoke out amid fears over the spread of Covid-19 in Belmarsh Prison.

    He has been held there since being dragged from the Ecuadorean embassy a year ago.

    The 48-year-old Australian is now seeking bail amid concerns over his health.

    Ms Morris, a South African-born lawyer, told The Mail on Sunday she was revealing their union for the first time because his "life is on the brink" and she she does not believe he would "survive infection with coronavirus".

    In a video posted on Wikileaks' YouTube account, she says she met Assange in 2011 when she joined his legal team.

    He took refuge in the embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over a sexual assault case that has since been dropped.

    He is also fighting extradition to the United States on espionage charges.

    Ms Morris says she visited him in the embassy almost every day and "got to know Julian very well". The couple fell in love in 2015 and got engaged two years later.

    She told the Mail on Sunday that Assange had watched both boys being born via video link and they had visited their father at the embassy.

    Three-year-old Gabriel and one-year-old Max speak to their father via video calls, she says.

    "Forming a family was a deliberate decision to break down those walls around him and imagine a life beyond that prison," she says in the Wikileaks YouTube video.

    "While for many people it would seem insane to start a family in that context, for us it was the sane thing to do, to keep things real.

    "It grounds me and when Julian sees the children it gives him a lot of peace and nurture and support. They are very happy children."

    Assange was arrested on 11 April 2019 at the Ecuadorean embassy and detained for "failing to surrender to the court".

    He was sentenced to 50 weeks in jail for breaching his bail conditions.

    Assange was due to be released from HMP Belmarsh last September after serving the custody period of his jail term.

    But a judge ruled that he should remain in jail until his extradition hearing because of his "history of absconding".

    Details about the children with Stella Morris were seen by the Mail in court documents as part of his US extradition case.

    Assange is believed to have other children, although little is known about them. He has an adult son, Daniel Assange, who is reportedly a software designer in Australia

    Does anyone on here know anything about a Labour Report? I've seen the head of the Fire Brigades Union Matt Wrack post this ...

    Many on the far left in the Labour party see this as true and it has been well publicised. There were people on the middle of the party who plotted against Corbyn, for exampleTom Watson, and should, in my opinion hang their heads in shame as it handed victory to the ****servatives.

    On a side note 9’s, what’s you’re opinion of Paul Embery ? He seems a decent bloke but him and Matt Wrack really don’t get along.
