I was quite surprised at some of those on the list.

As the old saying goes, one load of useless bastards out and another load of useless bastards in. :yep:


I now sit back and wait for the lies to roll in as these useless lot lie and lie again to get your vote.

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR LIARS.

Watching SKY News this morning and they were talking to a former labour adviser who said if you read labour's manifesto in full you would be alarmed at their spending plans that he put it would bankrupt the country again. This was not coming from a Tory care to note.

That is generally the case, tax the rich and give it to the poor. Next thing you see is a drop in investment and company expansion which eventually leads to job losses and a hefty bill for the welfare state to pick up with an ever decreasing tax income.

There will always be rich and poor in the country and anyone investing obviously want to see a resulting profit....surely.

Last Orderrrrs! Speaker John Bercow's career in numbers.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-50237401
Not only does Mr Bercow speak more than previous Commons Speakers, his choice of words often stands out.

One MP, quoted by the New York Times, said: "It's as if he goes to bed every night, reads a thesaurus, inwardly digests it and then spews it out the next day." :har:

The article sums him up quite well.

Labour MP Keith Vaz has been suspended from the Commons for six months after he was found to have "expressed willingness" to purchase cocaine for male prostitutes.

MPs approved the recommendation from the Commons standards body, which released its report earlier this week.

It said there was "compelling evidence" he offered to pay for a class A drug and had paid-for sex in August 2016.

Mr Vaz said he was receiving treatment for a serious mental health condition.

Notwithstanding what he is claiming I can't help but think he has brought all this upon himself.

If our news here in Denmark have understood these Poll from UK

It doesn't look very bright for Corbyn

In one of these Polls Tories would get 35 % and Labour only 21 %
(if I heard it correct)

What about Ukip with Farrage ? How many percentage will they get according to your Polls ?

TRUMP RINGS NIGEL ON AIR!

Quote:

Donald Trump has criticised Boris Johnson's Brexit deal with the EU, saying it restricts the US's ability to do future trade with the UK.

Speaking to LBC, he said that, without the deal, the two countries could "do many times the numbers" than now.

The US president also took a swipe at Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, saying he would be "so bad" as prime minister.

Nigel Farage has called on Boris Johnson to ditch his Brexit deal and "build a Leave alliance".

At the launch of the Brexit Party's election campaign, the leader said bringing the parties together was "the only way" forward.

But he warned Mr Johnson that if he turned down his offer, the party would field candidates in "every single seat" in England, Scotland and Wales.

The Conservatives have consistently ruled out a formal pact with the party.

Careful chaps, you could hinder each other and create a path for Steptoe.

^Extreme breiteers will vote for brexit party, moderate brexiteers will most likely switch to the Tories.



Biggest question is will the Russian's interfere?

Johnson is balancing on a razor blade. While three others are pointing pikes and throw grapples at him.


If he does bad, by the end of this all he could look like sliced pizza: flat, dampning, and in pieces.
