Personally if things continue as they are l would say a hung parliament is a pretty good betting proposition whenever the next general election happens.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
The results of the local elections are no real guide to what will happen in a General Election. Only some council areas had an election anyway, and the results were skewed by London.

The local elections last year certainly were no indication of what would happen in a General Election as Theresa found to her cost ! They underestimated Labour support in a national vote a few months later.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

Frightening isn't it? The most important time for this country in literally decades and it is being run by a bunch of infighting Amateurs with a bigger clown waiting to take over if this lot self destruct. Jeez .. you could not make it up.

The elephants are out of Africa and Williamson out of his depth. Unbelievably crass answers and well done to Richard Madeley for not tolerating such nonsense.

Every time Liam Fox opens his mouth he makes it up. A real fight for dunce of the month at the moment!

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
I think that Fox is worried that he won't have a department to run in a while. The fear of redundancy can make people say stupid stuff. He'll still have a job though, just not a cabinet level position.

Yeah, I mean when you are accused of having a "show me your papers policy" what else is there to do, other than resign?

In the Labour Party, where Antisemitism is rife, so far there is a leader who won't deal with the problem properly despite being under pressure, i.e by sacking Ken Livingston or resign.

Of course...compare the other side to Hitler apologists. What else.
(FYI that wasn't a swipe at you, May did that exact thing on PMQs which is precisely the kind of behavior that makes me view her so poorly).

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
Hands up who said "F*** business" Was it a) Diane Abbott b) Boris Johnson?
The answer is the latter. Is there no party which will stand up for hard-working job-creating companies?

Incidentally, there is little point linking to The Times or The Financial Times as they are for subscribers only and the rest of us can't read it. You could copy and paste the relevant parts that make your point, however.

In your biased entrenched view but many major UK business leaders and many of the populace do not share your rose tinted false optimism.
