The Communist party - for the first time in its history - has decoded not to field any candidates against Labour, apparently because they don't want to damage the possibility of a real left-wing Labour government.
Considering they received a total of 1,229 votes in the 2015 UK Election, i doubt anyone will be remotely concerned about whether they field any candidates or not!  :laugh:

Before you decide on who you will vote for, listen to this:

....then think, do you really want to vote for a party that gives an idiot like this a position as a potential Home Secretary?

If it wasn't so tragic, it would be hilarious.

It's too depressing to think about...

Mind you, stupidity is catching.  In Poundland this morning we saw a saying, commercially produced, on a clear plastic background suitable for displaying in your home. It read

"If you wake up each morning with a positive thought your on the right track".

Do we think all those glasses are of vodka?

Could explain Diane Abbot's mistake(s) earlier  ZXZ

She hasn't got 2 brain cells to rub together has she?
For many years now she's been the 'token black female' in the shadow cabinet, and it's just not conducive to making any progress whatsoever.
I've nothing against the lady whatsoever, but she always seems hopelessly out of her depth.

I suspect leading a national party does require a smidgeon of intellect and, in particular, a memory for figures so the researcher's efforts aren't entirely in vain. I suspect she's a tad short on both. But the whole thing is just so depressing.

Strange, the one quote that I haven't heard today is that Jeremey Corbyn is a 'Prime Minister in the waiting...'

The Daily Mirror quoted a comment from Jeremy Corbyn today and it was " We lost seats but we are closing the gap on the Tories"      Only a politician like Jeremy or Diane Abbott could work that one out.        &shake&

Why is everyone blaming Corbyn for the disaster that is now the Labour Party?

It was known before he was elected as leader that he was a well meaning, if deluded, simpleton, so blame this shambles on idiots who voted for him to be Leader of the Labour Party.

If David had been elected instead of his half-witted brother Ed, Labour could still be in power today.

The block-vote of the Unions swung that.
