Glad to see Blatter gone and hopefully a full shakedown of FIFA is in the offing- I don't think replacing with Jordanian royalty or any of the others mentioned is really a step forward though International sport has money flooding around it, and I am sure this is just one example of many - Blatter m...

Morning all

Sorry to be so presumptuous in starting a new thread but just heard Charles Kennedy has died

A truly sad loss of someone who could have been a great politician in different circumstances

The political world seems to be losing its heart and soul at the moment

Just anecdotal - a lot of people I know, who have the option, are seriously thinking of leaving the country now. And yes, they did vote so they can't be held responsible for the "mess we've (now) inherited". And these are well-qualified folk whom we no doubt need here. I wonder if that's ...

Have the Tories stolen this election? Have they cheated? They told an awful lot of lies. The one good thing is that they can't say that they're clearing up anyone's mess other than their own. It's clear these Tories can say whatever the hell they like. Anything & everything. The mess will alway...

PPS John Reid and all the old has-beens should be told to fuck off (pardon my French)

I hope we see Ed do himself justice in the resignation speech (assuming that this is imminent) The fact is he is a good man. Intelligent, articulate, passionate and decent.

We need a leader on the left who cannot be easily attacked by the MSM - as mentioned before there will be a repeat of this if we are not careful I want Ed to stay but perhaps he does not want 5 more years of this - if he does go I would like to see him in a senior position in the party for the next ...

Indeed - it is South that is more marginal and elec calculus still had it as Tory....numbers from Swindon North may indicated where the votes are going though

Suggestions are that Swindon South is staying Tory - it seems these suburban commuter belt seats are staying Tory

Getting all info from here and Grauniad at the moment If completely wrong I will watch on catch-up to watch it unravel.....

howsillyofme1

Those early results show Labour vote increasing and UKIP taking votes from the tories. The UKIP vote is uniform across the country, so why won't they be taking similar chunks elsewhere? The tory vote must have increased massively from their previous high point in 2010 (but not in any of the seats a...
