And he's trying to blame "Corbyn supporters" for his decision.

The total scumbag piece of s***

A mean boy made me cry and vote for May. Sob.

Minds, and circumstances, change, though. (See Theresa May.)

Naked opportunism you mean.

The Lib Dems would win their marginals back presumably?

Assuming that this all goes to Theresa May's plan, I'm afraid that any vestige of hope I might have entertained that Jeremy Corbyn would be gone before the next General Election has just gone up in smoke. There is still time for him to do the honourable thing and resign before then. The PLP would f...

Here is Tim Farron, the Lib Dem leader, on the announcement. This election is your chance to change the direction of our country. If you want to avoid a disastrous hard Brexit. If you want to keep Britain in the single market. If you want a Britain that is open, tolerant and united, this is your ch...

I read that Labour are outflanking the Tories on the controversial "triple lock" to woo the "grey" vote. Thought that McDonnell strongly hinted at that a while back, tbh. Tubby wasn't too impressed as I recall....... It's being able to disentangle those that need it and those th...

There's still time to show the working before 2020. Hope they do. Do they really need to show their working? I'm thinking of Cameron saying that an extra £12bn was going to go to the NHS.

Q: What do you say to people who think putting VAT on private school fees to extend free school meals is a good idea? May says if Labour got into power, they would bankrupt Britain. Schools would be in a parlous condition. They would borrow £500bn. The government is already getting more pupils into...

Morning.
