Apparently 150,000 people have joined the Labour Party since the election. That's about what the total membership was in 2010. Now heading for 900,000.
Appointing Gove is deplorable - the post is irrelevant !
I'm sorry, but May's campaign for Cyber regulation screams of 'IT illiterate person' scared of something they don't really know much about.
All whilst we need to help people stay safe online without spreading their personal info all over the place.

Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson storms out of interview over DUP gay rights question
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson walked out in the middle of an interview after she was questioned about Democratic Unionist Party’s stance on LGTB rights.
"We have to work with other parties and that means taking on some of their ideas as well," she told reporter, Ciaran Jenkins.
Continuing his line of inquiry he asked: “Just on the DUP. Theresa May yesterday described the DUP as her ‘friends.’ Are you prepared to use that word? Are they your friends?”
Miss Davidson replied: “Well look, I have friends in politics across many parties but what I spoke to the Prime Minister about yesterday was the need for a category assurance that talking with the DUP would not result in any roll back of LGBTI rights in the rest of the UK because as the Conservative party we are the party of equal marriage, we introduced it to the House of Commons and also we would use our influence to try and advance LGBTI rights in Northern Ireland and they are assurances that I got.”
But as he attempted to ask a follow-up question Miss Davidson walked off.
It is unclear why the Conservative leader decided to end the interview

Okay, it was fun to have a good laugh at the Tories but now it's all starting to get a bit worrying.

This is also worrying. She doesn't know what LGBT+ is..
Does anyone seriously believe the DUP would vote down Theresa May's government over the issue of sectarian marches?
In fact, the DUP doing anything that could potentially result in an Irish republican becoming prime minister doesn't sound very likely. With Corbyn as Labour leader it's very hard to see the DUP voting May down.

I think you are the "silly poster". Nobody voted to "come out of Europe". They voted to leave the European Union. As for labour being creditable and electable - I've never heard anything so silly. The whole Brexit thing has turned many off and the way the election went was a product of May and her aides cocking up in the most royal way driving the snowflake generation into the social media hands of Corbyn who decided to promise the world.
Snowflake generation?
You know only Alt-right dick heads use that term?
