I suppose we should cut her some slack really because she really is entertaining. I mean I could watch her cringe-worthy interviews all day long. It would not be so funny if she ever became home sec though.

Re: Why the Tories will lose the next Election.

I really do not know how I would vote in the next election. I know I would definitely not vote Labour but unless a certain B word happens, I will not be voting Tory either. I would probably chance my vote on any new party that came along in the mean time.

I suppose we just have to accept that all our politicians are a useless rabble of self obsessed money grabbers, whatever party they represent.

Absolutely Longdogs, they are the puppets of big business and the super rich. So frightened that the ones who manufacture or do business here will pack up leave these shores. I believe Theresa May is worried that if we abandon the EU and Britain goes 'Tit$ Up' it will be on her watch, and she will become the worst Prime Minister of all time for bankrupting the country. When you and I know that isn't going to happen....

Re: Why the Tories will lose the next Election.

If Keir Starmer and Emily Thornberry took the place of Corbyn and Abbott I think Labour would seem more electable.

Re: Why the Tories will lose the next Election.

I blame tony blair for the disconnect between labour mps and the electorate. Used to be local constituencies chose the candidate then TB came along and stopped many of them helicoptering in his sycophants. We ended up here with a man no one knew. he lived in london, instead of our local man everyone loved for his fairness and willingness to listen. Since then it's never been the same, we don't know our MP properly and they don't listen to us.

I suggest those who are anti Tory look at their own party first and the clowns who lead it

We shouldn't make the mistake of thinking that Corbyn will be labour party leader at the time of a next election.

I suggest that there are some, waiting in the wings, who will step forward to grab the Labour Party, and are waiting out the Brexit mess before nailing their colours to the mast.

Take Tony Blair, for example! To quote the well used joke "What's the difference between God and Tony Blair?"

Just as the Labour party have Corbyn and Abbott the Tories also have their idiots that inspire no confidence.

I think you could easily be right, they tried to oust him before though so it might be quite a fight.
