    Momentum have got the cheek to ballot their members on supporting R L-B. Reminiscent of the Communist party, where you have to change your opinion when the party line changes. The future of Labour hangs by a thread, and the election of R L-B will cut the thread.

    Agreed on Dan Jarvis.

    I don’t think this Labour election is worth winning, they’re so far away from government.

    I think Jarvis is keeping his powder dry for next time.

    Dominic Raab, the son of a Czech jew, who fled to the UK aged 6 to escape Nazi persecution, just voted against allowing unaccompanied child refugees from being reunited with their familieds already living in the UK. Is daddy must be so proud.
    Zac Goldsmith, who was so eloquent about unelected politiciaqns in the European parliament, today took his place in the house of Lords having lost his parliamentary seat by 7,766 votes in the last election. Hypocrite me guv?
    Ian Duncan Smith, the architect of the Universal credit, which saw so many terminally ill people fit to work, to the point where their letter informing them their benifits had been cut arrived after they had died, has been rewarded with a gong in the new years honours list.
    the phrase a wunch of bunts scarcely begins to describe the depths to which the modern Tory party will plunge. As AHLL pointed out yesterday, with their 800 seat majority, their election promises are less than worthless. The absolute lowlife of politics.

    If the Conservatives are such pond life, why were they elected back to power with an 80 seat majority?

    Doesn't say much for the Labour Party, or Guardian reading Liberals, does it.
    Except that they are serial losers.

    Two or three wrongs don't make a right.

    What the opposition parties need to get if they ever want to govern with majorities, is a vision for the future.

    Labour had a vision after WW2. They transformed the Nation.

    Liberals brought in many great reforms in the 19th Century.

    But what do we hear from them today?
    • Class War, hatred of the so-called rich (including open anti-Semitism) and politically correct shame in our national identity from Labour.
    • Empty talk about remaining in the EU, as if changing nothing will lead somehow to a magical prosperous future, from the Lib Dems.
    So you have a choice between A) National shame and bankruptcy or B) Nothing new at all in fuzzy feel-good Liberal la-la-land.

    Like it or not, Boris offered a vision. A United Kingdom free to forge trade relationships all around the world and promote our interests, not be bound eternally and powerless in an ever closer Union with the EU.
    A future outside the EU that millions of people had already voted for in 2016, but had been denied to them by the massively pro-EU Parliament and establishment (the Civil Service, the BBC and most of the upper middle class).

    in December the people (including working class voters in the 'red wall' regions) voted for Boris' vision. Not perhaps because they liked it, but certainly because they disliked it less than the awful alternatives being offered by that creepy hate-monger Corbyn, or the vacuous non-entity Swinson.

    Labour and Lib Dem supporters, look to the failings of your own political leaders over the next five years and put them right rather than waste your breath moaning about Boris and the Tories. Otherwise you will be in opposition for ever.

    Boris - Sort it out # 3

    Come on, knock this "Chimes of Big Ben" nonsense on the head.
    £150,000 just to mark a date that doesn't really mean very much - worse than all those daft New Year fireworks.
    And there are about a thousand more pressing matters that need attention and money.

    Leaving the EU at 11pm on January 31st is only a symbolic technicality.
    In reality there are loads of negotiations etc. left to be done.
    There's no need for expensive and divisive chimes when most of us will be in bed or pissed (or both).

    If there are huge celebrations it won't bode well for healing the divisions.

    Brexit Britain compared to Nazi Germany in outrageous speech by Lib Dem in House of Lords
    A Remainer peer sparked anger last night after comparing Brexit Britain to Nazi Germany. Lord Greaves said people were crying themselves to sleep at night over the country’s departure from the European Union.

    Surely people who are not happy about Brexit just accept the democratic nature of the vote and accept life outside the EU?.... don't they?... that's what democracy is about <ok>… otherwise we will have a Country run by Momentum and their ilk won't we?

    I don't like Brexit, but have always accepted the result. The sight of Messieurs Francois and Farage celebrating wildly won't help my blood pressure.

    I expect a gathering of remoaners will be holding a candle-lit vigil in Parliament Square that Friday night, or some such similar nonsense.

    Don't give them a focus for their wailing. Let the moment pass in silence, then they can go home.

    HMRC's decision to give FLYBE time to pay their tax bill is in marked contrast to their attitude to football clubs who have gone into administration because of their inability to pay their taxes on time.

    I am anti Brexit but we voted and the democratic result was to leave, so we should leave ASAP.
