No one votes FOR anyone anymore only AGAINST
Indeed. I expect next week will be like a chimps tea party in comparison to the labour party conference this week. The following is guaranteed
1. The leadership hopefuls will be at each other like rats in a sack, right from the off
2. May will look on impotently as they do, totally powerless to do anything about it
3. Speeches by unhinged right-wingers will all display nasty, xenophobic, backwards-gazing anti-foreigner nationalism dressed up as patriotism
4. An audience of senile old cadavers will still fall for Boris's bumbling clown routine
5. There won't be a single thing even slightly resembling a policy advocated by anyone.
6. All right-thinking people will be absolutely appalled by all this and wonder HTF this lot ended up in government
It's coming to something when Jezza and John MacDonnell look like the model of calm, considered policy-making. But that's how it looks right now. Everythings relative. The present Tory party is like a retirement home for insane racists

Don't think so tbh. I think a lot (but not all) of Corb's supporters are turning out because they want to vote for him - they might've stayed in bed otherwise.
So the phrase Tories hanging on by their fingertips

and it's their own stamping on the fingers
Remaining part of the customs union and the single market for an undisclosed transitional period (read: for ever) while guaranteeing EU citizens rights.
So not wildly different from the governments own position.
Depends on who in the government you ask, I suppose.
They've all got different ones from each other, it changes daily, and none of them seems that interested in the whole process at all. Distracting at his is from the business in hand, of having another pop at each other

This
the tory conference is going to be even more of a glumfest now, the DUP are going to be making life hard for the coalition of the desperate if it looks like May has absolutely no influence over Trumps protectionism to detriment of jobs in NI
and the headbangingly empty rhetoric of the Tories on Brexit has left them with little choice but to do what Starmer suggested

...alcohol abuse?
Starmer and the Tories can be separated by a Rizzla paper in practice if not in rhetoric
tresemays speech next week is going to be, I resign, ive had enough, starts crying and walks away from the mess she and her cronnies have created.
New election called JC wins huge majority, trump nukes north korea, and tories blame JC for the fallout, Bombardier closes northern ireland factory and site sold to aldi and home bargains.
@mols profits are not something you generally have to worry about from government run / politically motivated banks. I worked for a German one for 8 months. It was eye opening to say the least and German state owned investment banks designed to support their regions where some of the biggest US sub-prime casualties.
Corbyn and McDonnell are totally nuts and can’t possibly even get close to delivering what they are promising (or well not promising on student loans despite his “we’ll sort it” statement), they are already fudging the timeline out to 10 years.
They do stand a chance - a reasonable one too - of proving you correct though.
Well I'm happy to take the risk they're 'nuts' over the here and now shambles that we have currently got.
Incidentally anyone know why the Tory party membership is so piss poor?

None of these muppets should be able to wield anywhere near the power they have taken from us. They should be there to serve us not rule us.
Cut government in half
There's no good outcome from this, labour are nuts and the Conservatives are even nutsier.
May is awful and incompetent, but who in the tory ranks would have to take the helm.. Someone even worse.
We are utterly ****ed as a country.
What we need is a general election based on a new EU referendum vote.

They are getting burried. Mostly older and on the way out.

Membership numbers are an irrelevance for the Tories as they have rich supporters to fill the coffers.
People pay to be members of political parties ?? 😯
