Granted JC has not made his comment yet but i find that sort of headline cheap and nasty, please do not tell me JC and labour have never done anything on the cheap because in my book they all are at it.

And to use this terrible event for political capital is dam right low of JC who claims he rises up above this sort of thing. I find any politician from any party using terrible events just like this one to score points dam right repugnant. Shame on you JC if you do.

Agreed

This can only stregthen Mays hand in in Brexit negotiations I should imagine.

Quote:

US President Donald Trump has said he expects a "powerful" trade deal with the UK to be completed "very quickly".
Speaking at the G20 summit in Hamburg, he said he would visit London. Asked when, he said: "We'll work that out."
In one-to-one talks, Mr Trump and UK Prime Minister Theresa May agreed to prioritise work on a post-Brexit trade deal, a UK government official said.
The president made it clear he believed Britain would "thrive" once it had left the European Union, the official added.

What could be done is a framework of the talks to take place if we leave the EU, that way it would speed things up a bit post Brexit.

Now give me the answer to this old boy, if the boot was on the other foot how much capital would the Tory party and the right wing media be making out of this, Hillsborough disaster and the Sun newspaper anyone?.

Theresa May and the rest of her Tory filth would be milking it for all its worth, there's no depth deep enough that these political parties won't sink to even if it involved the deaths of hundreds of people.
To these politicians its all a bloody game old boy, they don't care one bit for the devastated families involved in these tragedies either, any tears shed by these muppets are crocodile ones so why you haven't realised this yet is beyond me.

Good luck with your new friends Erdoghan and Trump

if there ever was a reason for the EU to stay together, it has become obvious in this G20 summit.

No friends of mine, my comment was a generalisation, presumed recognition as to how May would perceive the situation and outcome of the meeting.

Labour's "ambition" is to write off all student debt, which would cost £100bn, shadow education secretary Angela Rayner has said.

Must be great when any party sits on the opposition benches.

I took it too literally, without thinking; though i should have known what you meant. Sorry.
I just cannot understand the people who voluntarily voted for Trump, or Erdoghan. And i hate our government for obviously thinking that appeasement is the right way.

Theresa May is to say she has an "unshakeable sense of purpose" to build a "fairer Britain" in her first big speech since losing her majority.

Nice one Mrs May another corker.

The Donald always talks like thunder, his muscles pumping in his chest. What May needs is that it in fact rains.

Don't bet on it happening.

Wouldn't dream of it.

There is a saying here in the UK that I firmly believe in: How do you know that a politician is lying? Their lips start moving.
