A leadership contest!

If someone like me with vested interest (financial)in voting Tory is contemplating ditching that Party, they are in trouble. I had heated discussion with OH yesterday, when he grudgingly agreed the Tories had shot themselves in the foot with Brexit. I watch Brexiteers spouting on tv and I am appalled. JRM is the pits. The Country needs a better, more inclusive Government, so I will give Labour a chance.

Labour inclusive ? When Corbyn won the confidence vote John McDonald stood on the stage of the O2 and called fellow MP’s who voted against Corbyn ‘ f*****g losers’

Absolutely agree with you easybee. Well put.

Labour are not perfect, I know, and I dislike Corbyn but feel, nevertheless, they are a better bet at this moment in the Country's history as they have more respect for the common man hit by cruel welfare custs et al. and still have good people like Evette C., Starmer, Benn.
If only they would endorse "Stop Brexit" they would have a landslide victory.

That last sentence in your comment at 09:07 is a bit out of order.
Why say something so controversial, it's certainly nothing to joke about?

Evette Cooper and Hilary Benn resigned from the shadow cabinet

Gabriella. I certaintly wasn’t joking , I said the truth, you find truth controversial ?

I find the last sentence wholly distasteful.

Do you ? I don’t

It wasn't a truth, it was a question. Has anyone made this threat and if yes, who?

Re Labour - remember the famous phrase 'its the economy stupid'. The country has to generate employment and wealth before it can start distributing extra funding to all and sundry. Labour's cunning plans will bankrupt us. I doubt Corbyn has the support from his MPs that May has btw.
Time for a national coalition as I suggested months ago.

I posted thectruth, you said it was out of order and controversial, I then asked a question .

I'm afraid that threats of rape are not confined to the LP. Any woman who is known to the public and has a 'voice', in whatever walk of life, is likely to experience them. There is a very nasty element in our society and it should be recognised that it is not confined to one particular group.

I found it a strange comment coming from you as well, Anniebach

Can you explain it please?

A coalition would never work, just as a coalition of GNers wouldn't. Too many intransigent hardliners. Imagine if we were in a room discussing this with no mediation. No doubt it would rival some of the commons' outbursts.

Normally support much of what you say annie and disagree with gg's comments, but I do find your 'rape' post thoroughly unacceptable.

True Maizie but we cannot deny Labour female MP’s have been targets since 2016, but not before.

Will the female MPs who voted against May get threatened with rape?
Why did you say that AnnieBach ?
What makes you think that anyone would make such a threat?
That sentence cannot be construed as a truth because only facts can be construed as either truth or a lie.

I assumed annie was making an oblique reference to rape threats towards women of other political persuasions.
Why don’t you tell us what you really mean annie?
Innuendo and sly digs don’t sit well.
Sorry if I’ve got that completely wrong.

Good grief, I asked a question , if it is against the rules of the forum it will be removed. That’s it.

janeainsworth, tell ‘us’ ! What I mean or tell ‘you’ ?

Us, Annie

The poor news reporters on BBC and SKY, geared up for a Tory leadership election followed by a general election, all that overtime .

Apologies merlot, I have always stood alone , never been a ‘we’ or ‘us’ .

Tell me AnnieBach.
