They've got one in Lancashire now I see.
John McDonnell (Labour Shadow Chancellor) '...in Wales we have done very well'
Labour LOST 3 councils out of 10 and well over 100 seats.
Very well? Really? What on earth were you expecting??

Indeed it looks like a coronation, our worst ever PM will beat the 2nd worst ever Leader of the Opposition.He won't hear them - what with his fingers in his ears and la-la-laing. UKIP have retained 0.76% of their seats. Liberals still getting a kicking. Looks like a coronation for a woman doing a poor impression of Thatcher. Still, at least she is strong and stable.
If you can afford it, get private health care, if not keep a pack of 48 Paracetamol handy to avoid a lingering death. If you work in the public sector as anything other than in management, get out now. If you have a social conscience, accept that you are part of a minority that can no longer make a difference. If you are rich and comfortable, be very grateful....but, don't slip from your greasy pole as there will be no one to catch you.

Presume you must mean Michael Foot, he was an intellectual colossus compared to Corbyn. Still apparently it's all the Media's fault...
I thought he meant IDS - he was even worse than Corbyn.

TORY Andy Street WINS the West Midlands mayoral election.
That has to be seen as a HUGE result for the Tories.

I forgot IDS, he nearly cracked it with his " Quiet Man " slogan, if only he had come up with " Strong and Stable ".

Also Michael Foot wasn't helped by the formation of the Social Democratic Party by Owen, Jenkins, Williams and Rodgers as Labour moved further to the left.

A similar thing could well happen again post the General Election if Corbyn wants to hang on after the thumping Labour are going to get (it's all the Medias fault of course)

I think he will. Whatever is left of the Labour party will drive out any moderates/Blairites etc. They've got to then form something with the Liberal Democrats, who's name is tarnished in large quarters in any case, and try and create a strong and stable opposition.
Never mind, i am certainly not upset.........job done.

Hardly surprising. Job done! They're just a fringe right wing party now, with very little support for their policies.
Labour wins huge majority in local elections after Diane Abbott counts the votes.

Meanwhile what's left of UKIP is hard at work advising the Irish what to do to avoid any adverse effects from Brexit - http://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/n...-real-friends-are-when-brexit-comes-1.3072800
I'm sure that will go down well, as they're always charmed and delighted at being given advice by right-wing Englishmen.
