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.
 
You can be a very silly poster, Impsaint. You miss the obvious. Is it deliberate.? It's all to do with being a creditable and electable party, and most of those remainers realised that the Labour Party was the best vote to kick out the Tories, pro-hope vote, best for those who can't look after themselves vote, best vote for YOU vote [even if you don't think so]. London's traditionally Tory areas voted hugely to kick them out. That was their answer to not staying in Europe when a clear 70% of them wanted to.

Yes, I think it was a time for the electorate to be pragmatic.

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.

Ignorance does seem to be the major qualification when addressing regulation of t'internet in the UK.
Most of the time politicians seem blissfully unaware of the impossibility of much they propose, but it's a big distraction and gives them something/someone else to blame.

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
 
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.

By what logic do you equate Jeremy Corbyn with an Irish republican?

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.
