I stopped taking the polls all that seriously after the last general election but this time (on a one seat at a time basis) they could well be right.

I don't normally post in this thread as British politics is none of my business but I saw this the other day and couldn't help but be impressed by the verbal beat down your PM delivered to that Labor guy.

^ Aye, Theresa May came from the same mould as Margaret Thatcher (the only previous female Prime Minister and also a great believer in the UK/US friendship/relationship).

The muppet she was addressing in the video clip is Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party and the reason I resigned my membership of 20+ years, the day after he was elevated into said position.

Matches up pretty well with what I linked to here on the last page.

I've already heard about parts of the Banff and Buchan area being pro-leave which means that their local SNP MP voted against their wishes a few days ago....:03:

The result in Moray was pretty close as well.

Mike.

No big surprise here then.

Don't think it can be banned. :hmmm:

The only card they can play is Westminster is closed for repairs and upgrading which will be going ahead some time.

I guess Mrs May received her share of criticism after immediately visiting Trump? :hmmm:

Nudge nudge wink wink is Nigel having a bit on the side?

Years ago this would have been a national scandal and if he was a MP could have bought his career to an end.

Probably fall on empty ears, Harman may as well call it a day and move on like the rest have.

Nah, he's given an Article 50 to his wife. :yep:

:haha:

Beat me to it :)

^^ :haha:

So will it be a hard Faraxit? :O:

Not sure I want to put the words Nigel Farage and hard in the same sentence, certainly not this soon after dinner... :Kaleun_Sick:

Commons Speaker John Bercow has defended voicing his opposition to Donald Trump addressing Parliament.

Makes you wonder if he's had word from the palace through the back-channels. :hmmm:

Quite possible but the hypocrite had no problem welcoming Xi Jinping.
