Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

tbh if the Brexit Party are still around by the next General Election in 2022, Brexit won't have happened. And if it has, they'll be an irrelevance and Nigel will have formed yet another party, with himself as leader of course.

The Brexit party will be around until parliament honour the result of the referendum.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

Some unsurprising Public opinion towards the two main political leaders of their parties...

Quote:
Theresa May:
Favourable: 21% (-5)
Unfavourable: 70% (+5)

Jeremy Corbyn:
Favourable: 19% (+1)
Unfavourable: 69% (-2)

If Grayling's was a COE at any decent company they would have got rid of him long before now.

That's probably why he's still hanging on..He'd never get a cushy job post government if he's judged on his achievements.

BREAKING: Death to May's premiership by a thousand paper cuts... Letters pile in to 1922 Committee Chairman, Graham Brady, insisting Theresa May must resign immediately. BBC's Laura Kuenssberg...

Theresa May is just keeping him there to make herself look vaguely competent!

You’ll absolutely love this Mick. The “journalist” who penned this piece, Lesley Riddoch, used to be known as an independence-leaning but generally respected newspaper columnist in Scotland. But since 2014 she’s gone full-on regime apologist, and tore in to Question Time for daring to attempt to put together a balanced audience. Her reasoning for claiming an edition broadcast from Moray in northeast Scotland deserved to have its audience deliberately tilted towards the SNP is priceless. And apparently she’s only just noticed that political parties try to get their local association members in the audience, even though local SNP branches, as with all the others, have been at it for years.
