In the same spirit that some wags might have joined labour and voted for Corbyn, I think the Michael Gove supporters club should be ready to launch....thebish wrote:meanwhile - in Toryland - still a wee while out, but here's the current runners and riders list!

Difference being, the Conservatives are capable of organising their own party leadership succession unlike the Labour Party.thebish wrote:meanwhile - in Toryland - still a wee while out, but here's the current runners and riders list!

Andy Burnham doesn't even wait until the next day to come out with hypocritcal statements nowadays...

He will 'fight nationalism wherever he finds it' - good, a solid policy. The evil Tories used 'English nationalism and openly stoked resentment of Scottish Nationalism'.
Wait, which is it? Do you hate nationalism or are some nationalisms not as bad as others? Is Scottish nationalism to be praised whilst english denigrated?

Burnham is a fool, it's the tricks of social engineering like his party practises along with the EU and others that has led to the rise of nationalism.bobo the clown wrote:Andy Burnham doesn't even wait until the next day to come out with hypocritcal statements nowadays...

Re: The Politics Thread
I don't see what is contradictory there. He says he will fight nationalism across the board. As opposed to the Tories who played off one set of nationalists against another for their own ends.bobo the clown wrote:Andy Burnham doesn't even wait until the next day to come out with hypocritcal statements nowadays...

If you take the sentence in isolation maybe.

In a few days I don't think he will be in a position to fight anything, crawling away from the public view would be more apt.BWFC_Insane wrote:If you take the sentence in isolation maybe.

There is absolutely nothing 'leaderish' about her. She looks and sounds like a girl from the Upper 6th at a school debate.

Probably about as good as a girl from the Upper 6th too. She is the embodiment of Labour's failure IMO. Lightweights playing at politics.bobo the clown wrote:There is absolutely nothing 'leaderish' about her. She looks and sounds like a girl from the Upper 6th at a school debate.
