Are you calling her a liar, because I heard her say what she did on Sunday whilst displaying her garden.

He’s right I’m afraid, the ship sank in 54, it’s well documented she arrived in 1960, so if you heard her say she was on that ship in 1960 I would suggest Uncle Albert was stearing it[emoji23] oh and you heard her tell a porky pie too!

You're right. I should choose my battles. In fact, I should put him on ignore.

Ha ha! Even the Brexit thread is readable to me now I have blocked the resident bores, trolls and nitwits. You know it makes sense.

It's got to the point where pretty much anyone is better than Corbyn and McDonnell, but I'm not sure Lammy would be the first choice to replace him. He's a fantastic back-bench MP, not sure he would be lead material. Would love to be proved wrong though because he's a fantastic guy.

Well done for researching that,but I expect Thunder bolt,Simster,Harry Wilsons Tackle etc will probably put you on ignore for telling the truth!They never apologise,and just follow their version of history.

Only slight snag is that the Windrush was taken out of service, and then destroyed by fire, six years before the eleven year old Floella arrived in the UK. Difficult one to get round, that.............

He is indeed, and a very interesting one. I recommend his appearance on Nick Robinson's Political Thinking podcast, in which NR talks to various people of all political persuasions about their backgrounds and beliefs. It almost makes you think of MPs as human beings ....

He’s 1000x better than Corbyn imo. Stands up for his values, challenges bullshitters and is holding the government to account more than the leader of the ****ing opposition.

Playing Devils advocate, but isn't that exactly what Corbyn does and gets hated for?

No. See Corbyn's meek, gutless, wait-in-the-shadows attitude over Brexit. If that is delivered as badly as looks like happening, it will be his fault as much as cowardly Theresa May.

Wait in the shadows? Didn't Labour propose they should be more involved with the handlings on Brexit and got turned down?

They are doing nothing whatsoever to hold the Tories to account, and their own Brexit position is so muddled and unworkable that this suits them fine. Corbyn is leader, he drives this. He is useless.

I met him when I was working out in Delhi around 2003-04. He was doing some fact finding on the visa application and decision process. It's worthy of note that the majority of the MPs that ever made it across rapidly vanished into the city, presumably to load up on cocktails and go shopping*. Mr Lammy, on the other hand, put in the hours and was clearly intent on understanding the details of the operation. I've got a lot of respect for him, as he clearly takes his work seriously.

*unsubstantiated but then I've not named anybody

I think they are all alter egos or 2nd accounts. They always seem to bunch to well

Corbyn wants Brexit as much as Farage and Rees-Mogg. Lots of young Labour party members are leaving because they've realised he isn't an opposition leader, but complicit.
