Well the Labour Party in Wakefield didn't seem too bothered about our plight with regard to Newmarket and all the great sporting facilities it would have provided for the young people of our area when I contacted M creagh J tricked and p box I got a lack lustre response and it went on for years and years so perhaps it might focus a few minds in future now they carnt be guaranteed our vote.

I thought MC said that our previous MP was a great help with regards the stadium but I could be wrong.

Wasn't it the tory MP for Morley & Outwood Andrea Jenkins, who he was referring to.

Just need a name change now in view of events

“WAKEFIELD TURKEYS”.

City of Hull keeps the red wall intact with all 3 seats although Hull East just squeaked in after a 19% loss of the primary vote(17% voted Brexit Party).

Hull East is the only Hull seat which has never deserted Labour since 1935 and I lived in that constituency for almost 20 years but never voted there.Left in 1959 after becoming eligible so just missed that GE.

Dad was a shop steward in the ETU and campaigned heavily for Labour in the landslide GE win in 1945. He wrote a little ditty for that campaign which was played in most working men's clubs in east Hull. His brother was a Labour member of the Hull City Council and ended up coming out here to Aus. with his family in the mid 50's.

Interesting

Went out Saturday night with a lot of friends I have known for over 45 years ,got the impression nobody gave a toss about what the positions were up to ,people just got on with life in the real world

Sorry for bad spelling lol

Blame it on the tory party cuts on education.

aLegend was educated back in Ramsey MacDonalds day.

Was it MacDonald that guaranteed pupils their own personal slate and chalk?

Whilst up wakey on sat happened to drop on one of Kettlethorpe’s finest begging on cross street .This guy was a one man crime wave ,even robbing off his own mother Nice To see in this day and age that crime doesn’t alway pay .

Did you give him a kick while passing

Yes he did but apparently got his shoe nicked

Like it or not the tory party have an unbelievable opportunity to bring the country together while showing support to the northern areas not normally associated with the tory vote. It will require a total shift in policies and alot more arm twisting within the party.
I just can not see the Tories taking the time and effort in general but if they do and deliver they could be in power for some considerable time.
5 years to show the voters they can change and deliver., or 5 years to people of and blow it. I know were my moneys going.

You forgot to mention Scotland’s SNP leader raking in over 5 million pounds from the sale of a broadband company he had shares. Friday was the day when all things financial went sky high. Those in the establishment know how to play the money game, whatever politics they spout.

Why would they bother doing that given they've spent the last 9 years slashing and burning everything the working classes rely on yet still got voted back in, to a large extent by them?! Surely logic would suggest they'd carry on doing more of the same to the masochistic Northern electorate?![i 'No new policies needed here'[/i I hear Cummings opine, just give the t****s more of the same!

Absolutely. Turn it up to 11.

Actually although Cummings is an unpleasant character, he will be a positive influence on Johnson in some ways.

He isn't a Conservative and he isn't part of the posh toff Tory set. He's not the type who is trying to suck up to people to get a peerage or place in the House of Lords, he craves power and the chance to put his ideas on how the UK should be run in practice.

As he is unelected, completely willing to break the law, and willing to bully and fall out with anyone to get his way, this is a terrifying prospect. But he does also have some interesting ideas and a lot of his frustrations are on the way the traditional backscratching establishment has governed the country. Also he isn't really someone who is 'bought' by lobby groups and owes favours - he tends to be the one doing the manipulating of others.

If he gets his way, expect a lot more focus on science and innovation and a reduction in power of the old social order. He may well direct more of the Government's attention on northern communities than Cameron or May ever did, because he is also concerned with the politics of retaining power and retaining all those seats the Tories have gained.

But also, he makes a lot of enemies and it's hard to imagine him seeing through a full 5 year term in No.10 without being sacked/forced out somewhere along the line, and he will go back to his blog and tell everyone in great detail exactly how he was shafted and the gory details of Boris and his colleagues' failings as a government.

I am no lover off politics either way, they are all disingenuine with an odd sprinkle of saying a little item we may feel is right. If you are genuine on " for the good & right " of any issues, you would get on with it - & deliver, which we would see & receive !!
However, I have noticed, which is sad, that in general, labour mp's cannot be honest to them selves that they worked against the will of people & democracy per say, in our area, we have other issues with the council & their bad behaviour so Mary suffered a double whammy & she still doesn't get it, the issues, she is blaming others & not looking at they did not want what she offered, believed, & finally she operated against the 60% that did not want her opinions, they wanted her to deliver & do her job.
Sad but she did not & still does not get that you carry out what the majority want irrespective of your own opinions ! So sad but she still cannot see this !
You have to be honest with & unto your self !

Am I the only one who is glad the Conervatives got back into government. It seems that the left always think they have the moral superiority. It is just their opinion. Nothing more.

No mate, you are certainly not on your own.

No you're definitely not on your own.

Although having said that, I was not 100%
