My prediction( not hope) is for TM to have about a 40/50 overall majority. I reserve the right to change this prediction up to the announcement of the exit poll. Anybody else have a prediction?

Corbyn will win and all the little snowflakes who did it will learn what it is to live in an economy crashed by Marxism.

I have no hopes at all with this shower we have to choose from such a lack lustre bunch. I read all the papers every day and watch a variety of news and really.....we are being led by simpletons in the media/ politics /celebrities etc.

We need some very different choices next time round!

Just a thought.... if come Thursday the Labour Party win... the next Cobra Meeting will be headed by Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott.

Just as valid as right wing bias.

ninny Mon 05-Jun-17 10:12:08

Guardian left wing bias.

Do read this, Ninny, if you want to find out Corbyn's views on shoot-to-kill and how they have been misrepresented by Laura Kuennsberg.

Despite the fact that the BBC was wrong, they are still using the same interview today, unchanged.
I presume that's what you remember as well.

Is that the Emily Thornberry who looks down on the hard working white van man flying the Union Jack. She's a snob and hypocrite, just like the Labour leader Corbyn who opposed shoot to kill but now is apparently for it so he can get a few more votes.

Do you mean Anya?

Luckygirl Sun 04-Jun-17 22:21:34

I am with Anna - we have to raise the hope that integrity and honesty might prevail or at least have the opportunity to clip the wings of rampant conservatism and austerity.

There has to be some principles that are greater than just profit.

durhamjen Sun 04-Jun-17 22:20:41

I bet she wishes she hadn't now. Has she sacked Lynton Crosby?

Tegan2 Sun 04-Jun-17 22:16:45

It was a really unpleasant comment that she made, albeit being a quote from a Labour politician....

durhamjen Sun 04-Jun-17 21:57:00

May's fault. She said that he would be alone and naked in the Brexit talks.
You really should watch the last few minutes of the Last Leg from Friday on catchup.

rosesarered Sun 04-Jun-17 20:46:26

TMI ...too much information, not T May grin

durhamjen Sun 04-Jun-17 20:40:49

TM and Corbyn?
Were you watching The Last Leg on Friday?

kittylester Sun 04-Jun-17 16:52:26

TMI!!

Anniebach Sun 04-Jun-17 14:02:56

So where could she be moved to? Agriculture ? She did have that naked romp in a field with Corbyn grin

mcem Sun 04-Jun-17 14:00:06

?

rosesarered Sun 04-Jun-17 13:53:52

grin ah well, you had to at some point mcem and I shall try and reciprocate someday.

durhamjen Sun 04-Jun-17 13:53:37

Corbyn cannot sack Watson or give Abbott the position of deputy leader.
Both leader and deputy are voted on by the membership.

mcem Sun 04-Jun-17 13:52:23

Rare not rate!

mcem Sun 04-Jun-17 13:51:35

Rate occasion but I wholeheartedly agree with roses .

Ana Sun 04-Jun-17 13:42:37

She could be deputy Leader - she'd like that. Give Corbn the chance to sack Watson.

rosesarered Sun 04-Jun-17 13:41:03

Out of politics hopefully grin

Anniebach Sun 04-Jun-17 13:37:59

I know you didn't mcem, just if Thorbury became Home Secretary where would Abbott move to

mcem Sun 04-Jun-17 13:31:14

Annie I neither said nor implied that.
