If your journalists are like ours here in Denmark and in Sweden

They will not have the guts to confront the leader of the Labour party

Asking him if he have changed his mind the last two years.

The nameless one is a raging anti-semit who supports terrorists, the prosecution rests it's case.

The defence, none...

Verdict....GUILTY AS CHARGED.

Vote Labour if you call the truth lies. :03:

The new Speaker says he will not permit the kind of parliamentary manoeuvres recently used to block a no-deal Brexit allowed by his predecessor John Bercow.

Sir Lindsay Hoyle said he would not allow the procedures used by MPs to seize control of the agenda.

It would make it harder for MPs to derail a government after the election, even if it does not have a majority.

Sir Lindsay said he wanted MPs to agree to change the Commons rules to close off those options.

Good luck with that but I have my doubt's.

Just watching Sturgeon open the SNP campaign and she just said Scotland is one of the wealthiest countries. Really, well then you do not need any more money from Westminster.

Someone's obviously not factoring in their share of the national debt.

What I absolutely cannot stand is when the comrades - or IKEA or Starbuck staff - approach me clumsily and use my first name on me as if we were close friends or member sof the same family. I find this very repugnant. Foreigners I do not know, companies, advertisment approaching me this way, already have lost me the second they practice this for the first time on me.

I in principle react very hostile when others try to draw me into any kind of clumsy familiarity or club collectivism. No warning balks from me, I immediately bite.

If you're referring to the way I am addressed in the emails then I would tend to agree but I'm not really overly bothered either because I don't feel the need to respond to them.

The BBC will host a head-to-head debate between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn in the run-up to the general election.

The Conservative and Labour leaders will face off live in Southampton on 6 December - six days before the poll.

A seven-way podium debate will also take place between senior figures from the UK's major political parties on 29 November, live from Cardiff.

Liberal Democrat candidate Chuka Umunna said it was "wrong [and] undemocratic" not to include his party in the head-to-head debate to represent those who "want to stop Brexit".

He said his party would be launching legal proceedings against the BBC, as it has with ITV - which is also holding a debate between Mr Johnson and Mr Corbyn.

If the union breaks up the fault will be the politians who by their own stupid actions dragged out brexit causing society to become so divided.

I could be wrong, but I think this dividing began right after your referendum if not before.

The first referendum took place on Thursday 18 September 2014 on Scottish independence from the United Kingdom.

Diane Abbott is facing criticism for posting a "misleading" tweet, which has been shared widely across social media and even used in Labour-affiliated advertising.

The shadow home secretary compared the media coverage of ex-Labour MP Ian Austin saying he would vote for the Conservatives with the coverage of former Tory MP Ken Clarke when he spoke of being conflicted about voting for his old party in the election.

She tweeted: "Ian Austin, one year as a junior minister at DCLG, says he won't vote for Labour. Wall-to-wall coverage. Ken Clarke, nine years as secretary of state, including as chancellor, says he won't vote for the Conservatives. Silence. Balanced election coverage?"

According to independent fact-checking organisation Full Fact, Ms Abbott's tweet is incorrect and misleading.

"While it's true that the two sets of comments received different levels of media attention, Ms Abbott's phrasing doesn't portray them entirely accurately, overstating what Ken Clarke said and implying the two sets of comments to be more similar than they are," it said.

"Mr Austin didn't just say he personally wouldn't vote Labour this election… he explicitly called on Labour voters to vote for the Conservatives. Meanwhile Ken Clarke did not say he 'won't vote for the Conservatives'.

Early days yet but if this trend continues we may be looking at a hung Parliament.

New polling has delivered a major blow to Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour, with the party apparently suffering in its traditional strongholds.

The Conservatives have also endured polling slumps in the new YouGov data, though they are nowhere near as pronounced as Labour’s.

Ahead of next month's general election, Mr Corbyn’s troubles are most visible in Labour’s northern heartlands.

In the north-west, the party scored 30 per cent, down 25 from its 2017 general election result. Boris Johnson’s Tories are polling at 33 per cent.

There was a similar drop in support in the north-east, where Labour polled at 32 per cent, down 23 from 2017.

Even in London there was a sizeable drop for Labour, which is down from 55 per cent in 2017 to 39 in the latest data, which was gathered from October 17 up to Monday this week.

Meanwhile, in Tory strongholds in the south-east and south-west, there were identical 13-point drops to 41 per cent.

The Liberal Democrats and newly formed Brexit Party appear to be taking advantage of the polarised Brexit debate, with the arch-Remainers led by Jo Swinson increasing support in every region.

The Lib Dems’ biggest leaps came in the north-west (up from five per cent in 2017 to 17 per cent in the latest polling) and south-east (up from 11 per cent in 2017 to 23 per cent in the poll).

The Brexit Party’s biggest support is coming from the north-east, where it is currently polling at 19 per cent: seven points behind the Tories.

This is the great unknown that many will be pondering but I doubt Farage will take any notice.

I doubt the Brexit party will get one seat let alone damage the Tories big time. Sounds like a load of BS to me, the BP has passed their high water mark and have plunge in the polls and any way Farage said he was also going after Labour so should he back off there as well?

Meanwhile I hear the SNP will form alliance with Labour as long as they get there IR2. I can not see Labour saying sure go ahead with another independent referendum.

As far as I'm aware Labour have said not in the early part of their reign but later on maybe.
