Whatever one thinks of Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, I don't think Lisa Nandy did herself any favours in the leadership contest, during this interview.

Surely not, Harry. 'Our brilliant Beccy' as named by the old ghoul McDonnell, is getting quite a bit of stick, bordering on piss taking in some of the media, or that is the impression I get. You may be right though, if enough lunatics have taken over .........you know the rest!:ohmy:

Tory voter here. You are correct re the toast assumption. Keir Starmer and Lisa Nandy (I discount Thornberry completely) appear to be going out of their way to tiptoe very carefully around the sensibilities of the Labour membership, and for me, this prevents them really showing their true...

It says that any doubts they may have harboured about Boris Johnson, the horror they had of Corbyn and McDonnell in charge of the country more than out weighed the misgivings re Johnson.

Harry, Wilson wasn't so keen on Benn either, for the very reasons you mention. You're not the former left-back signed from Burnley, but a reincarnation of Sir Harold, aren't you!:D

Well, this Tory isn't desperate for her to win. For the sake of decent democracy in this country, I want to see a return to a centre left Labour Party that can provide a competent opposition to the Government and would be an electable party of Government. It is time for a huge injection of...

Hmm, not too sure about that across the board. Just research some of the weird degrees that are on offer at some unis! Why should the taxpayer payfor students to study these? I reckon too many people are going to uni and will be sorely disappointed with their job prospects when they graduate...

The upside may be that you get a deputy the membership likes, but it could also be a downside. If the membership is dominated by the far left then they get a far left pleasing deputy, which may go down well in the 'echo chamber', but will probably not go down so well with the electorate who want...

No-one really knows Starmer's politics and he is banging on about 'unifying the party', but is this really possible with the extremists of Momentum on one side and moderates( and most of the left leaning public) of the party on the other side. Until Labour is honest with itself and moves away...

Probably because it is the disfunctional Labour Party!

: Fair enough Harry, but from what I can recall about some of Bold's 'previous', we may have to disagree about that.:thumbsup: Best Wishes from the attention seeking puppy.........yap, yap!:D

No, I am too old to be considered a puppy and I certainly do not crave attention. I have no such need or desire, and if you even have the slightest teeny weeny knowledge of my politics and posts, you will realise I am pretty moderate in my views. I dislike extremism in all its forms, left and right.

To be fair, I haven't got an argument with Chappers, it is Bold Seagull who is beyond bitter and is off the scale undrinkable!

Oh you are sore aren't you! You can dish it out, but you can't take it!

:down: Well, I think once people cottoned on to what it would actually entail, they might start to catch on. Especially those who understand what the implications would be for stockmarket investments, pension funds and foreign investment in this country, let alone the legal rumpus and...

Wow, you are touchy aren't you!:D

Poor old Bold Seagull, he and his ilk must have taken a right mental bashing since the electorate rejected his crew and his echo chamber ain't echoing anymore. So beaten up, his once strong left wing will barely lift him off the ground these days. He dished it out whilst squawking away in his...

Add in 'Shareholders' as a term of abuse to describe filthy rich, evil, selfish Tories! (Conveniently forgetting about folk trying to provide for their dotage and all the millions of workers who have pension funds!)

Various other 'comrades' who held strong views and are now largely conspicuous by their absence also showed little concern for this, pre election; possibly because they were talking to each other in the proverbial echo chamber that the GE thread had largely become!
