Mind, to look at it another way, Labour "only" polled 11% less than the tories, 13.9 million vs. 10.3 million votes, difference 3.6 million. It's a lot, but out of a voting population of 46 million maybe less than you'd think. 

 

Also many will have lent their votes to other parties.

 

Just checked the Labour forum on Facebook and Starmer looks popular. Along with JLB though.

RLB? If she gets the gig that's the party finished imo.

It was indeed staggering. Almost as staggering as shouting 'No surrender to IRA!' at Ingurland games and being so determined to not surrender to them that they inevitably said fuck Northern Ireland when the complexities of Brexit and the good Friday agreement came up. Almost as if they didn't have a clue/give a fuck about the IRA/keeping Ulster British after all?

That’s just facts

Bagsy foreign secretary, I fancy some travel and affairs with furrins. 

Was talking to someone down in Whitehall and there was a big kick off when the FCO stopped the policy of all international travel being by business class. Apparently they still have the best staff restaurant though.

Edit : that was for all FCO civil service staff btw.

Agree, BUT. What about the shadow cabinet? Huge lack of quality imo. 

Agree about the lack of talent & what's worse they're going to be up against a tory government who've fixed the rules & suppressed the vote of the poorest. I cant see a way out. I really can't.

Don't despair just yet. If they don't let Scotland go then we have one final chance at this in 5 years. The price will probably be Scottish independence so we literally only get one shot.

 

The Tories are still useless, and a non useless Labour leader could make the difference. If they get in, bring about PR, change press rules, then we can stop this happening ever again.

 

Brexit is a poisoned chalice still. It just depends on what Labour does next.

That’s partly because of Corbyn and him largely selecting those closest to him as well as many backbencher being unwilling to work under him.
