We all know Labour trashed the economy 9 years ago but its a rather easy and simplistic to blame them totally for all todays deep ills as both parties have to take their share of blame IMO.

Infighting? I think you have the wrong party.

Infighting is occurring in Labour!

The Tories can keep blaming them while there is an incompetent, pathetic and weak leader when it comes to racist and anti-Semitic actions within the Labour Party, as far I am concerned.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

No I've got the right party they've been infighting and obsessed with the EU for 40 years. Meanwhile domestic issues can go hang.

Well they may need to take some of the blame, but the (B)ankers seem to have got off scott free. The financial crisis was Worldwide.

There is more infighting going on in Labour, because the party is being ripped apart by far left Corbinites.

Obsessed for the right reasons because we never should have joined!

They remedied that by finally giving the people the choice to leave the corrupted EU.

Well, if it hadn't been for Labour's ineptitude, there would have been no need for austerity, so they are right to still be blaming Labour.

The fighting is because a comfortable majority does not exist. The same happened with the 1970s Callaghan government.

Quote from YouGov:


The Prime Minister now holds a 10 point net favourability lead over the opposition leader

The Salisbury poisoning and Labour’s anti-Semitism row may have harmed Jeremy Corbyn’s popularity among the British public, with new YouGov favourability data revealing the Prime Minister is now seen more favourably than the Leader of the Opposition for the first time since the general election.

At the end of January Corbyn was still comfortably ahead of May, with a net favourability rating of -12 versus the Prime Minister’s -25, scores which had been fairly consistent since August 2017. However, by mid-March the Prime Minister had essentially drawn level (on -15 to Corbyn’s -19), and now Theresa May leads her rival by -13 to -23.
Looks like Corbyn's peaked.

Well, it seems they've been proved right, and at last the electorate have caught up. They have been 'obsessing' because they could see the damage the EU would do and was doing to our country.

After 10 years outside the EU post Brexit, I think the vast majority will agree that this was a good move, provided that Corbyn's lot don't get in and make a huge mess of things, as they would.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

She could have weathered the Windrush stuff. It was misleading Parliament that got her, even if it was (possibly) unwittingly. In the eyes of MP's that's worse than acid bath murderer.

Yeah Windrush wasn't really her fault apart from responding slowly when she learned of it.

Yep.

And lets remember here, so far, Conservative MPs who have accepted wrong doing in the cabinet have resigned when faced with tough pressure.

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.

And also lets face it, those people calling Rudd out on the left, want Labour to be in control, that would be cannot count, Diane Abbott as Home Secretary.... who had a previous history of supporting the IRA along with her previous lover boy, Corbyn.

It was also in the news yesterday that Russia influenced last years snap election to get Jeremy Corbyn elected, the Putin appeasing he has been doing of late, makes total sense now.

If her colleagues had rallied around her, she would have survived and doubtless learnt from her mistakes. But the Brexit-Remaion split in the party ensured that many Brexiters did not support her.
