Honestly I think it's possible but unlikely. Both major parties have problems with their leadership, and while I don't think it will happen, and I wouldn't be surprised if she did become PM.

While its theoretically possible for the lib dems to be in government, the odds or completely stacked against them. If they became the opposition it would be a massive step up.

The best we can hope for now is that the tories don't get a massive majority. If they get a big majority, the country is stuffed

I quite like the current iteration of the Lib Dems, but I'd like them more as an Opposition party against the Tories with a slight majority.

20 MP's is not enough to expand to 300.

A Labour MP has denied altering the lyrics of the Beatles song Hey Jude to “Hey Jews” while a fellow politician is accused of repeatedly using the word “****” during a coach journey last year.

Daniel Carden, who as the shadow international development secretary, is accused by BuzzFeed of singing an adapted version of the song while on a trip from the Cheltenham festival to London.

Conor McGinn, a former Labour whip who is standing for re-election as MP for St Helens North, is reported by the website to have repeatedly called another colleague a “****” during the same journey on 15 March 2018

Sayeeda Warsi has denounced her Conservative party colleague Matt Hancock for “whitesplaining” Islamophobia to her after he suggested “there are others who take a more balanced approach” to the issue.

Lady Warsi responded furiously to Hancock, the health secretary, after his comments on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme while addressing the Conservative party’s decision not to hold an inquiry into Islamophobia.

His Wife is taking over

The leaders of three main political parties will take a break from the election campaign trail as they join members of the Royal Family at the Cenotaph.

Boris Johnson said he will be "proud" to lay his first wreath at the war memorial as prime minister, and vowed to continue to "champion those who serve today with such bravery in our military".

He said: "On Remembrance Sunday this year I will be thinking of the men and women who, over the centuries, have given so much to protect our country.

"I will especially remember the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in war, so that today we can live in peace."



Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: "We remember the many brave people from Britain and all across the world who put their lives on the line, making huge sacrifices in two world wars which cost the lives of millions, and in all the other conflicts since."


He added: "For so many of our armed forces, our veterans and their families who have given and still give so much to us, they are not getting the support they deserve."



Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson, who will be attending the service for the first time as Lib Dem leader, said: "Today we remember all those who gave their lives so that we can live in freedom.

"We also give our heartfelt thanks to those members of our armed forces, to veterans and their families, for all they do and the sacrifices they make to keep us safe."

Retirement age is a suggestion not a demand, to restrict competent people from employment would be ageist and is as wrong as sexism if used as a tool to prevent access to jobs.

bots 10-11-2019 08:02 AM

if you look at both the UK and the USA,many of the people up for the important jobs are south of 70 and they are just not mentally agile. It shows up in their debates and interviews all the time. These aren't the people we should have running our countries, and I say that as someone who is no spring chicken himself.

Ammi 10-11-2019 08:24 AM

...didn’t Winson Churchill become PM when he was retirement age...(..to name but one..)...behave yourself, bots...:laugh:..


...it’s surely about the PM who would be best for the country, not what age they are...

Lumping all older people together like this does nothing to prove your point, during an interview a pause for thought for you proves ineptitude?
I'd say the opposite, I prefer it when theres not an instantaneous trotting out of party lines or slogans that require no thought at all.
Unless you have specific evidence of older politicians becoming confused? If it's happening all the time that shouldn't be too difficult.

Why is free movement an issue? We need people to come here and work that's well documented, the worry is that people will leave here due to brexit and the NHS and other sectors will struggle as a result... What's the alternative, unfree movement?
Employ people abroad to get around our wage laws and bring them here on temporary visas to work?

Will that impact us more positively?... not enough people are really thinking past the 'free movement' fear of johnny foreigner scaremongering we have in every election.

On work visas yes, so how will that impact on secure employment in the UK. And what of unskilled workers?

Don't worry Bots, the Tories want to raise retirement age to 75 so it's all good.

If they don't have skills, we don't need them to work, as someone else can do it.

This attitude is devastating to productivity though. I think the confusion comes from the term "unskilled", which in fact more accurately means "without formal qualifications". You can't replace an experienced migrant worker with an unmotivated, slack-jawed local and expect them to work to the same standard. Yes there are plenty of unemployed people in the UK but the ugly elephant in the room that no one seems willing to address, is that many of them are simply unemployable in MANY "unskilled" roles.
