Hopefully this will be about politics and news only ,with no personal remarks or attempts to stifle.

Jon Lansman is more dangerous than Corbyn, at least at the moment.

I thought there were more than Lansman and Formby running for General Secretary.

I bet there is a free from one if you are prepared to pay the huge price for it.

I can't have chocolate - or milk come to that - so it doesn't appeal

Good article by Owen Jones.

My two grandkids do! Not before they go to bed, though.
The youngest is ten, but she's been drinking it for a few years.

GracesGranMK2 Wed 07-Mar-18 22:33:30

My mother has hot chocolate. I wonder how many people do - and what age they start?

GracesGranMK2 Wed 07-Mar-18 22:32:33

Incompetence building on incompetence. Who let them have control of the economy?

durhamjen Wed 07-Mar-18 22:31:49

Probably just busy making hot chocolate.

durhamjen Wed 07-Mar-18 22:30:59

The labour party would never be responsible for this, either.

Does everyone go to bed at 10 o'clock/ It always goes very quiet.

durhamjen Wed 07-Mar-18 22:28:47

Sorry, just realised that was going into court.

GracesGranMK2 Wed 07-Mar-18 22:27:29

I imagine someone or several someones are on the trail Jen. Too good to pass.

durhamjen Wed 07-Mar-18 22:27:23

Paul Golding came out of court giving a victory sign.
Does that mean he was expecting a bigger fine, or longer in jail?

durhamjen Wed 07-Mar-18 22:25:31

Anyone know a good investigative journalist who could find out?

durhamjen Wed 07-Mar-18 22:24:50

For those who think that Tom Watson should pay back the money that he was given, at least we know who gave it to him.

The tories have changed the law today so they don't have to tell us who gave £425,000 to the Brexit campaign.

I wonder if anyone let Trump know?

GracesGranMK2 Wed 07-Mar-18 22:21:35

I know - very interesting. Of course they don't perhaps have to get as many members as we might think as the Tory members are dropping rather than growing.

durhamjen Wed 07-Mar-18 22:21:26

Talking about a party that wants to destroy the country, and just to show that good things can happen to those in far-right parties.

Momentum say that they will have more members than the tory party in two years time.

GracesGranMK2 Wed 07-Mar-18 22:18:44

We need a party that wants to build the country up not destroy it.

GracesGranMK2 Wed 07-Mar-18 22:18:15

A Tory MP literally just admitted that 7 years of Tory cuts have been COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY.

I would agree - I wonder why it's taken them so long to recognise it.

GracesGranMK2 Wed 07-Mar-18 22:17:03

Also the growth in Momentum members - that really surprised me.

GracesGranMK2 Wed 07-Mar-18 22:16:22

I thought the bit about the left feeling so confident they could look at their differences was really positive Jen.

John Prescott is now pro-Corbyn.
