WE'LL BE BACK!

Not for the next 5 years you wont, my prediction is Labour will probably elect a woman and a Londoner...Emily Thorinthebutt probably.

 

Caroline Flint just got spanked too, there goes another Blairite LOl Labour will probably go more left wing the idiots but thats ok, plenty of time to regroup in a few years but also for the world to turn a few times..Globalism is not the trend, nationalism most definitely is.. and thats not right wing just in group preference, as is natural.

Please quote, I've never flown the Corbyn flag. Probably disliked the man before you'd even heard of him.

If you know that to be factual, you are literally the only person with such information to hand. 

My only shock in this thread is than no-one has mentioned the Diane of Abbot yet.

 

If anything highlighted Corbyns abysmal poor judgement it was his choice of her as potential Home Secretary. It was quite clear she's not all there and completely out of her depth & the fact she's his ex-girlfriend is bad optics. One can only marvel at what she must have on him to have maintained that role.

 

All we are going to here now is:

- the media were against Labour

- the Russians did it

- people that voted Con are stupid/racist

 

One thing we probably won't hear is a good analysis on what went wrong with the opposition and what can be done (if anything) to repair it. I am glad Boris won but I also think there needs to be a viable and rational opposition.

Haha - the PM is just crowing about a 'One Nation' win which will unite the country. We will see tomorrow just how that statement is as much guff as every other utterance the man has ever come out with.

Wrong but never mind.

Scotland has no deficit. The 7% you seem to allude to is a deficit run by Westminster which it blames Scotland for. Scotland and its government gets no say in how that money is spent.

Shouldnt be. I can be a bit harsh but roughly.

 

It depends on how things are calculated. From FullFact: Scotland: Tax and spending 2015/16

 

Scotland’s total public sector revenue was just under £54 billion in 2015/16. That’s around 8% of the total revenue in the UK.

 

In the same year the total public expenditure in Scotland was £69 billion. That’s around 9% of all public spending in the UK that year, so a greater proportion than the population.

 

So the contribution is decent but the expenditure is overall a drain in proportion. 

 

Update: Joe Swinson just lost her seat in Dumbarton by 200 to the SNP bye bye Brexit wrecker  LOL

227 seats declared so far .You have to appreciate this is the FOURTH Gen election Labour has lost and the margin is getting worse not better....

New projection just in is Labour are going to lose even bigger than the exit poll predicted... Labours only gains of note are London so far lol... Labour as the working class party is over.. its now just the champagne socialist party ... this defeat will be historic..Labour projection currently 201 .. as a marker M Foot got 209 so its the worst ever in the making for Labour. 

 

Just in DUP leader just lost his seat to SF LOL and Joe Swinsons seat looks to be in danger... 

 

This is hilarious, dont mess with the British public for too long they do have a limit to thier patience. ????

 

The turnout btw is looking pretty high... in the mid 60% + atm.. thats also important.. there are no excuses left ????

 

"Labour as the working class party is over."

Yes, that is an issue the social democrat parties in many of the European countries have. Others are emerging though, but in the UK without proportional repre4sentation this is much mkore difficult.

 

At the moment the lack of a workers class party is in favour of the Conservatives,

So I posted details you can check.... off you go, find and post some facts people can check instead of just making your claim. 

 

Propaganda im not interested in, I am however being a supporter of Scottish independence happy to see your claims turned into facts. Off you go..

 

 

LOL Corbyn says he wants to stay on and lead a period of "reflection"

The thing is, though, that our shared wishes are best met through respectful and mutually supportive collaboration. My fight is not against England or the English; I simply want that my country is not governed from another. 

Whoosh! there goes the NHS

Whoosh! here come higher prices and poverty

 

I !hope they are proud of themselves

Do you mean the baht is soaring, or do you mean the pound sterling is soaring ?

What happens if Trump's mini-me, Johnson, does just like Trump and betrays the people who voted for him and his party? What if he does a Brexit in name only, now that he has the votes? All these shifty con-men are the same. Watch him get bought off. Easy.

Advisory, surely ?

Boris won his election.... , E.U. get that good May's  "wit draw agreement" in Boris version , and U.K. looses Scotland so to hear the latest from N. Sturgeon  as SNP winning ….

So it looks many can be pleased today .

Absolutely agree with you as I wish exactly the same for my country. I assume your not in any hurry to be governed by the EU and Brussels directive no less than Westminster  then ?

 

But thats another topic, the SNP has won a great victory so well done I guess.  Just how the SNP square that circle with the cry of independence with Scots i have no idea and never have with its pro EU stance.

 

On a side note didnt the ex Tory leader Scotland say she would swim butt naked in Loch ness if the SNP got 50+ ?  thats got to be a worse threat than fracking no ?

That is his puppet master Len the gross talking. Translated it means that Len wants to get all his ducks in a row so he can control the choice of LP leader. Len has already picked two losers to destroy the electability of the party - what could possibly go wrong.
