I hope we start next year with an election.

Labour, Lib Dem’s and the SNP have probably been preparing for it since this DUP Deal. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Tories didn’t make it until 2020.

If it wasn't so serious it would be hilarious. Tonight I've become all but convinced we've another election round the corner. This can't go on much longer, it's an absolute clusterfuck.

Still, could have been worse. If we think this is bad imagine if Ed had won.

You would rather have this mess and Brexit than Ed Milliband?

I thought you were a Labour fan?

The Patel story is now getting even odder. Apparently she suggested on her trip that some of Britain's aid budget be diverted to help fund the Israeli army. God knows what she was playing at.

It was sarcasm. Highlighting the irony of the Tories apparently being the safe choice when this is what has happened since.

Pornograhpy on a work computer? How daft are these folk? Can't afford a separate laptop for their porn on their £70k a year salary. 

Also note how most of the ire over the (legal although morally dubious)  tax dodges is (as usual) being directed mostly towards the people who have taken advantage of it and not the system which allows it to happen.

Playing to.

A highly influential think tank, source of funds and support for her leadership bid. How does PM Priti grab you?

I've always been an idealist. I also don't see any guarantee that an Indy Scotland wouldn't have a monarchy, wouldn't end up with a right-wing government etc. It seems like a lot of risk with little guarantee it would lead to the sort of country I would like anyway. It also overlooks the emotional connection I have with the U.K. It's something that I felt about withdrawal from the EU but will be even more pronounced with the U.K. As it's a country we share so much with. Simply because I don't agree with the direction it is going in doesn't automatically equate with wanting to separate from it for me. There's a lot I dislike about the UK but there's plenty I'm not thrilled about with Scotland as well.

 

This is how it feels to be Labour, this is how it feels to be small...

The tax stuff will be forgotten about in a week or so and it'll be as you were. The trouble is the people who want change don't have the power to effect it and even if they did they probably wouldn't exercise it. Such is life.

How have Johnson and Patel still not been sacked? May is incredibly weak. Any other government in recent history and they would be out the door already. The longer this goes on the worse this looks for May.

It's quite obvious why they haven't been sacked because May simply can't afford to lose anymore Ministers at the moment. Obviously.
