Frankie Boyle on May v Corbyn:

Election 2017: Nicola Sturgeon says independence 'no magic solution'

Quote:

Nicola Sturgeon said independence is not a "magic solution" to Scotland's problems as she was questioned over her government's record.
Appearing on BBC Scotland's Ask the Leader, she defended her mandate for a second independence referendum.
But the first minister said it would happen only after the outcome of the Brexit negotiations became clear.

Taken her long enough to come out with that.

IndyRef2, if/when it happens, will be very interesting.

Mike.

While the mainstream media focuses on Jeremy Corbyn’s alleged “support” for the IRA, it is conveniently ignoring a Conservative politician who actually used to be a member.

Maria Gatland is a Tory councillor in Croydon South London but her past life was not so squeaky clean, just more Tory hypocrisy at work and there's another 5 years of this to come.

Nigel Farage could return as UKIP leader if Brexit 'unfinished'

The former party leader tells Sky News his political future will depend on whether Theresa May "delivers" on leaving the EU.

Nigel old bean you were the party and without you the party is nothing. Just look at UKIP more in fighting, your only MP resigns you lost all your council seats granted you did win one new one. UKIP's vote has collapsed because you achieved what you set out to do.

May refuses to rule out income tax rise, despite ministers' pledge

Theresa May's refusal to be drawn on income tax rises puts her at odds with her ministers Boris Johnson and Sir Michael Fallon.

Another bog up taking lessons from Labour.

The last two elections were awful but this one has been a bloody joke.

Salman Abedi was condemned last month for killing 22 ppl with a bomb, Jeremy Corbyn was also condemned for not wanting to kill millions with a bomb, yet a woman, Theresa May, was applauded enthusiastically for threatening to use nuclear bombs.

You couldn't bloody make this up.

National campaigning by the Cons/Lab has been suspended due to the London terror attack, no word from the LibDems yet but they will probably do the same only UKIP will continual as usual.

Jimbuna · 06-04-17, 07:41 AM

Shouldn't be long now before Jeremy backtracks on these statements made in November 1915.

UKIP's Scottish face, David Cockburn, on his party's decision to keep campaigning: Twitter.

I'm not sure if the second part was really needed....

There was also a large pro Scottish Independence march in Glasgow yesterday:

Thousands march in Glasgow in support of independence

As it's that part of Scotland I can't say I'm surprised - I'm not seeing anything from the big two on how to tackle the "Glasgow Problem". Why they aren't trying to figure out why Scotland's largest population center is effectively in revolt against the UK government I have no idea....

Graphic of the latest predictions on the GE result for Scotland:

All based on uniform swing, so arguably to be taken with a pinch of salt. Regardless of what happens on the day, the SNP will still provide the majority of Scottish MP's.

I hate to say this but these terrorists have most likely given the Tories a boost and Mrs May we must get robust over JC's lets have a chat.

Catfish · 06-04-17, 03:44 PM

This 'interview' was rubbish,
He was asked whether he would order the police too protect citizens, what kind of question is this? Of course he said "yes".

And the next question is "if he would be happy to shoot to kill". WTH ?!
Should he have said "Yes i am happy to shoot to kill"?

Appropriate would have been a question like if he sees the necessity to do that, and she would have received a firm "yes".

I watched one where he was talking about the latest attack and the twit of a reporter asked him about his standings in the polls! The media has gone bonkers...

Jeremy Corbyn has said he does not think Theresa May should quit over police cuts just hours after suggesting she should resign.
