Pity the SNP have done so well up here (:down:) but getting rid of Swinson is something of a silver lining.:yeah:

Now, the big question for the Tories is how to counteract the SNP within Scotland itself. This boils down to one big question, which, if they find an answer, will go a long way to solving the problems they have north of the border:

How do you fix a problem like Glasgow?

Glasgow is the main trouble spot for them - 41% of Scotland's population lives there and in the surrounding constituencies along the Clyde Valley.

The Central Belt as a whole contains 71% percent of the Scottish population.

Mike.:hmmm:

Scotland "cannot be imprisoned in the union against its will" by the UK government, Nicola Sturgeon has said.

Sturgeon is going to milk this for all it is worth.

Have another question. This time it's related to Scotland.

Which type of benefit does Scotland have today as a indirectly member of EU(As a part of the UK)?

What are Scotland hoping to gain by being independent and a member of EU ?

In brief: getting more money from the EU than they have to pay in. Also, they are export-heavy to the EU, a leave from the EU market will hit them.

The history between the English and the Scots is such that Scotland also is quite different from England. They never saw themselves that much as part of a union with the English, more as a victim, dominated by the nEnglish. Historically at least, in the past, that is true. Just a few days ago there was somewhere a good editorial on that in a German newspaper explaining it.

But in the end, its about the money.

One of the very very few that did not go mad following the bandwagon of loons.

^The Labour party had their best candidate before she lost her seat and that was Caroline Flint, it wouldn't be that daft of an idea to have Dan Jarvis as her deputy either. Make Flint a dame in the dissolution honours list and let her run the party from the House of Lords, and then she can appeal to the Labour voters to have that Momentum menace and any left winger MP booted out of the party.

As for those two clowns Richard Burgon and Rebecca Long Bailey, I think that the pair of them had a personality bypass operation at birth and, Rebeccas' best described as Momentum and Corbyns' Barbie doll pin up.

STEED 12-15-19 02:25 PM

I agree Caroline Flint would have been their best and probably only candidate worth voting for a leader of the labour party.


Another rumour in Jess Phillips could be standing....:haha:

Being the only major party that's not yet had a woman leader, while at the same time being the party that suppoedly pushes gender equality the hardest - They will 100% pick a woman to replace corbyn.

Man or woman I dont care, lets just hope its some one half sane. people Laugh at the prospect of Jess Philips, but honestly even she would be an improvment at this point.

Anything, even a monkey sporting a red rosette would be an improvement at this point :):03:

I reckon if Labour continues to be overun by Momentum and the Tories let down their new constituences in the north,

its invenitable a new moderate left wing workers party (with out all the middle class cultural self loathing and intersectional dogma) will have to be formed.

BIG GOB OF THE YEAR! :haha:

She is far from being suitable for the position of Labour leader, just see her as Prime Minister and watch the nightmare unfold. :o :o


I am now edging towards what jim said now, the moderates have done sod all to kick that mad dog and his followers out. It looks like Momentum is here to stay and rule the Labour party with an iron fist.

GAME OVER.

The government plans to ask MPs to vote on Boris Johnson's Brexit bill on Friday, Downing Street has said.

The PM's spokesman said the government planned to start the process in Parliament before Christmas in the "proper constitutional way".

The Withdrawal Agreement Bill is the legislation that will enable Brexit to happen - the UK is due to leave the EU on 31 January.

It comes as the PM prepares to address his new MPs in Westminster.

Friday you say, better get a bag of popcorn in.

A Brexit activist who was "obsessed" with former MP Anna Soubry has been jailed for harassing her.

Amy Dalla Mura, 56, was found guilty after a trial of repeatedly targeting the ex-Independent Group for Change MP earlier this year.

Dalla Mura then also stood as an English Democrat candidate in Broxtowe, Nottinghamshire, against Ms Soubry.

Chief magistrate Emma Arbuthnot said Dalla Mura "showed an obsession and fixation" with the politician.

She was jailed for 28 days.

I may not be a fan of Anna Soubry but this type of behaviour must be stamped out.
