Nowt official, but looks nailed on.

I know many who would leave the country if Corbyn managed to get in.

Has anyone actually ever done that?

Well fortunately if Corbyn does get in they might still have the opportunity to live and work in Europe without restriction.

Can anyone seriously imagine Corbyn winning, its almost farcical .

Very often this is hot air but rich regularly move their assets abroad to avoid punative tax regimes.

Here's a very recent, high profile example of it happening in France:

As usual, the socialists decry it publicly. But what it means is that a rich person moves out of their jurisdiction, they're no longer able to tax the rich person and regular (and poor) people have to foot the bill for the tax that would have been paid by the rich person at a lower rate.

Jezza knows it’s his last roll of the dice , they’ll lose so many votes to the liberals it will be painful but at last see Corbyn’s toxic labour routed which can only be good .

Much will depend on Farage, if he stands he could still cause chaos for the Tories if he doesn’t or his support drops it’s a shoo in for BoJo imo

Corbyn will loose the election and we can then rebuild the Labour Party to win the next one.
Hes a liabilty and hes undone all the hard earned gains won by Tony Blair.

Punitive? The poor pay proportionally more of their income in tax than the rich. They don’t have the option to pay accountants, tax advisers or to join evasion/ avoidance schemes. Or of course the ability to leave the country to live in a tax haven. Yet, it is not the avoiders that get your criticism, it the politicians trying to get them to pay their fair share and support their countries instead. Rather than taking the ‘ pragmatic’ route, why don’t we as a nation take them on and stop tax being a dirty word?

Whats with "BoJo". Are you 14. Yet another post where working people want brexit, want the Tories in, and hope the only party on the side of the working people gets nowhere.
I can't wait to see this board when we leave with a crap deal, the Cabinet have all made millions put of brexit, and we have no medicines, food shortages and a government that will leave the working class to sort themselves out.

"BoJo". FFS!

Boris will win on the basis that he was the only leader who tried to make Brexit work.

An election loss for Labour will hopefully see the end of Jeremy Corbyn and maybe more importantly John McDonnell. They need to return to the centre ground.

Nigel Farage and the Brexit party then need to disappear.

He will lose just so many seats that it will take a lifetime to rebuild the Labour Party. Someone will no doubt ask one of his disciples whether it was worth it, to which they will reply, as did one of Milibands aides, ‘Well, yes, because at least we had a go’. How incredibly selfish and stupid.

As opposed to staying in the country and dodging tax anyway through offshore schemes/expensive accountants.

One thing is for sure, is that there will be some surprising result.

I mean, thats the only way to drain a swamp isn't it?

Many comments on here about not wanting Corbyn as the possible new PM and yet will they all go and vote for Labour in Burnley because that seems to be "what they've always done".

Leaving Brexit to one side for the moment, (I know it's a huge issue), but what has our present MP - Julie Cooper - actually done for Burnley?

If the younger/student voters turn out in force it might not be the foregone conclusion a lot of Tories seem to think it will be.

Pimlico_Claret wrote:Has anyone actually ever done that?

No - it's just something that people say to express their dislike of a political party or politician. No-one has ever done it.

Cue a host on here who will swear they know someone who did.

Ringo's Christmas wish list-

The following MPs to be turfed out by their constituents-

1 Dominic Grieve

2 Anna Soubrey

3 Yvette Cooper

4 Owen Smith

5 Sarah Wollaston


Any of the above will do. More to come.

Once Jezza gets his 'free stuff for everyone' manifesto out, there will be more than just gullible students who will vote for him. Add to that constituencies like Burnley where some folk would eat dog vomit before voting tory and I can see a Lib/Lab/SNP/et al coalition on the horizon.

Which is ironic given that Corbyn is a massive Euro sceptic. I fear for future of this country. I don’t want any of them. I am one of the many who are without a party.

Ah, so we are only draining the swamp of MPs we don't like?

With you now

Lancasterclaret wrote:I think we should get rid of all of them.

Just the ones that, for the last 3 1/2 years , have tried every trick in the book, even concocting new tricks that weren't even in the book, to stop the largest single expression of democracy this nation has ever witnessed, being implemented.

If democracy is the thing that cleanses that rotten parliament of the vermin that attempted to stop it. Then it will be poetic justice!

Right, so its not a swamp.

Its "Drain the swamp, but only of MPs who Ringo doesn't like"

Its more honest if you put it like that.

Would that be Tony the warmongering semi-Tory Bush puppet Blair? He was the reason, eventually, why I didn't vote Labour for a while (and I've been a lifelong supporter). Blair was good at first but showed his true colours in the end. He did make Labour electable, which was fine, but then he lead us into the illegal war in Iraq and now does his best to try to stop Brexit. Cannot stand the man now.

Spot on. That has been my argument all along but the morons who have bitten the con will go with it, celebrate as though they have won something magnificent and never admit they were wrong.

Jo Swinsons family business recently received 3.5 million euros from the EU.

FACT

I wonder if they put some of that loot into an illiberal anti Democrats election campaign push?

"Drain the swamp, but not those guys who are guilty of expenses irregularities, but people who don't like Brexit"

That would be even more honest.

Being honest I couldn't give a monkeys what you think.

I'm looking forward to seeing the faces of a large number of MPs who were elected on manifestos by the constituents in good faith. Who then did their best to do exactly what their manifesto pledge had said. As it finally dawns on them that the People have caught up with these duplicitous snakes via the thing they've been running away from.

The Ballot box.


Seeing Dominic Greive and Soubrey as the results are announced will be an early xmas present.

Cant wait.

Couldn't care less what you think or say . You've zero credibility. You dont answer simple questions.

Let me see if I'm clear about the choices here.
Vote Lib Dems, vote to remain in the EU.
Vote Cons, vote to leave the EU deal or no deal.
Vote Labour, vote ????. What exactly would I be voting for? Anybody know?

Pearcey wrote:Which is ironic given that Corbyn is a massive Euro sceptic. I fear for future of this country. I don’t want any of them. I am one of the many who are without a party.

I fear there will be many more before too long bud. Never in modern history have MPs so blatantly disregarded the will of the people. It will cost many their seats. I feel I may not vote, which is quite a statement from me. The reasons are simple though. I could never as I live and breath vote Tory, they are far too indulgent of the better off and the absolute antithesis of Robin Hood (they take from the poor to give to the rich). I very much doubt that I will vote Labour as I usual would because most of them, including Corbyn, are remainers and for that reason alone I would fear a Labour government, no other. The Lib Dems are just a despicable lot who will drop any or all of their beliefs to grab a bit of power and their leader is a self-confessed anti-democrat who would still fight Brexit even if we had another referendum and the result was the same, she has said as much.

Bearing all this in mind I feel no-one currently represents me, which saddens me no-end.

Is it Friday already?

Labour only agreeing to a general election after they've been bounced into agreeing it. After all the other parties were up for it.
