I think she knew from the start brexit is undeliverable and gave the great unwashed the kind of soundbites that make them happy between episodes of corronation street. Im afraid it is still as undeliverable as ever and boris' empty words about immitating the charge of the light brigade and doing a hard brexit whatever is as insincere as may's. Its not, really, remainers who are being betrayed by the process. But i think leavers deserve the boris fudge thats coming.
As a remainer, may I be spared that fudge? ;)

It’s the postal voting system. It’s a known problem which tends to benefit Labour.
The postal voting system is for anyone, the system does not benefit any particular party,

Whether those of any affiliation use or abuse it is an entirely different matter, those of any affiliation or none can do either.

The issues which make the news tend to involve a Labour candidate.

Id have thought all those overindulged dodgy oap's on the costa del sol were a more natural tory enclave
why are they overindulged. Do you begrudge them getting what they have worked for. Suppose you'd prefer to have them put down so you can give the money to some youngsters who don't want to work

I think it’s more a case of rinsing them of all their earnings and savings and shovelling the proceeds into the pockets of the bone idle.

Socialism tends to operate on the basis of giving away the money belonging to anyone except a fellow socialist.

I see Trump is now quoting the delightful Katie Hopkins.

Seems three murders in London are worth his attention to get at Khan. Whereas a quadruple shooting in West Des Moines, Iowa (15/06/2019) can be ignored.

Not merely tending, that is fundamental to socialism and politics in general.

Those without will vote for a fairer share, those with will vote to avoid any loss.

But in practice it doesn't always apply. Labour London, our socialist capital with some poverty afflicted boroughs, gives some £50 billions of its earnings each year to other areas which contain many wealthy people.

As if proof was needed, Trump really shows what an idiot he is to pick on individual murders elsewhere, when he is president of a country where murders and mass murders are so commonplace.

London isn’t a place with an identity anymore. Because it happens to have the title of The Capital, companies from an very wide area locate there, for no other reason than being located in a Capital City. Then people from many different areas lodge themselves in London to take employment advantage.

Because London is “Stafford” by people from all over the country/ world, it’s right that some of the wealth they generate is distributed just as widely.

I see that Jeremy Chunt has stated that the EU will renegotiate the Brexit withdrawal deal. Does he know something that the EU don’t?
