Half a story as usual when it comes to the SNP. Patrick Grady spoke for 58 minutes last night and took interventions from just about every SNP member. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter Parp Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Someone made a good point the other day about the populist lunacy of the past wee while (Brexit, Trump). None of it would have happened without the support of the conservative/centre-right establishment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 The ending of the Dubs amendment is pretty shameful. This is a good time to end it though. The media are far more interested in what Trump had for breakfast than Westminster condemning weans to certain death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late… Britain’s entire fleet of attack subs ‘out of service’https://www.rt.com/uk/376926-navy-submarine-fleet-action/ The Royal Navy’s entire fleet of attack submarines – seven nuclear-powered hunter-killers – is allegedly out of service due to ongoing repair and maintenance work necessary to prevent breakdowns, British media report, citing sources. UK Prime Minister Theresa May is said to have no clue about the problem because Ministry of Defence (MoD) chiefs “fear her reaction,” the Sun reported on Friday, adding that it is believed to be the first time in decades Britain has no fully operational attack submarines at beck and call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 That updated UKIP poster remindsme of Stewart Lee talking about political correctness.

Sooky Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Predictions for the 2 by-elections next week? With regards to Stoke, Labour should hold on as it seems Nuttall has been a massive liability. Copeland looks like it might be close. Tories are apparently pretty confident, and LD sources also suggest that the Tories will take it. Might depend on Labour turnout on the day. From pretty much the day after Reed resigned, the Tories have been hitting it constantly with leaflets showing how Corbyn is anti-nuclear. The big question is, would allowing the governing party to gain a by-election seat for the first time since the Falklands War in 1982 be enough to see Corbyn go? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
