Personally, I think going full Leave was the only option because it was the same one as the Tories. The Lib Dems might have made some gains, but you wouldn't have seen the Tories taking so many votes from Labour on a Leave ticket. Both would have been on the same page there so it would have had to ...

Not at all. The Labour vote plummeted from 2017 when its policy was to respect the referendum vote. It had a radical manifesto then and it had Jeremy Corbyn as leader. The difference yesterday was that Labour abandoned that policy in favour of a second referendum. This was a policy forced on Labour ...

Brexit killed Labour - but I really don't see what else could have been done. People wanted a firm position - Leave or Remain. Pick a side though, and Labour loses half it's vote. Go full remain then it loses the towns & villages. Go full leave it loses the cities. A poisoned chalice. It's [REMOVED]...

incredible that Jezza says he’s going to stay on to oversee where they go in the immediate aftermath. I’m not complaining he’s the Conservative’s biggest selling point but after last night disaster he should have resigned already I've had a word with him - he's staying into the new year so I win my...

anyway now is not the time for petty point scoring, today is a day for celebration and enjoying the moment.

Fair play to you WF10 joking aside for coming on here today.

Do you mind if I don't?!

The Labour manifestos of 2017 & 2019 are considered unremarkable & centrist by a majority of other European countries. The fact that they were seen as leftist here suggests, to me anyway, that we are predominantly a right wing country. You have been very selective in your comparisons, how about the...

does this mean I’m not going to get my free super fast broadband?

No, you'll have to pay for it.

Bit weird.

I'll be spending today looking over the Tory manifesto.

I'll let you know what joys we can look forward to over the next 5 years.

The left of the Labour Party had its Brexit position bang on in 2017 ie 'respect the referendum'. Pandying to the 'Peoples Vote' wing of the party (Mandelson, Campbell etc) painted us, in the eyes of the majority of the public at least, as a 'Remain' Party - which anyone who has any knowledge of pol...

Thinking of moving to Scotland.

We're a nation of right wing, racist [REMOVED].
