Couldn't have put it better HV.

Over and above that, no controlled immigration under Jezza too. I did mention the rate that the population had increased by in the past 20 years. Figures like that just aren't sustainable

Probably mainly a Brexit vote, Corbyn stuttering over Brexit did not help Labour.
I could not bring myself to vote Tory but accept that Labour's policies are not what the voters want.
Time for a big re-think in the Labour party

I guess it will be worse as regards the MDC as the local election are generally used as a protest vote against whichever party is in power nationally.

Regarding Creagh it's 100% the chickens coming home to roost following her total disregard of the original Brexit Referendum result in her constituency.

Yep, real shame that Yvette Cooper didn't go the same way. Hopefully the loss of votes will give her a kick up the behind but I doubt it.

Having met this odious, smug and self important person Mary Creagh her ousting has given me a smile that's making my face ache (glad to grin and bear it)

A Labour party choice foisted on the Wakefield electorate here to represent herself and the Labour party and not the constintuents, the fact she chose to ignore Wakefields 2/3rds vote in favour of leaving the EU and fight for remain just underlines her contempt for those she deemed beneath her and in her view were wrong. Glad to see the back of her, still grinning by the way.

Never bothersme who rules the country, but got to say having a lying,slimy,Pratt like him as made me fear for my grandkids

There is no doubt Boris is a liar but he’s a bad liar and fools no one. We get Boris even if we don’t always agree. Corbyn to a degree and the truly awful momentum group to a massive degree are excellent liars and I find that far more worrying.

The only scary thing about Boris is his mate Dom, a nasty piece of work but one who may have served his use. It will be interesting to see how soon Boris dumps him and becomes his own man. If he doesn’t then I’ll be more worried.

Corbyn announces he will not lead the Labour party in the next election, the deluded clown didn't lead them in this one, it will be interesting to see who's next up from Clown school my guess is the charmeless Keir Starmer. He may have a few years to wait to try a bit of election leadership though.

Got to admit Corbyn no better, But think we are going back to the Dickens days , when the average person had to fend for themselves while the rich got richer.The national health, transport,police ext are at a critical stage .There is no mention of this been improved in the Torys manafesto and yet they can spend 54 billion pound on six war planes from America

Don't think that because you can see through him, others can too. There will be plenty of people this morning repeating the 'Get Brexit Done' slogan, like it's gospel. I'll give it until early January, when that gets binned, and the next vacuous slogan comes along to keep them pacified.

I had to laugh at something I read this morning citing Corbyn being a middle-class north Londoner as a reason for him being unable to appeal to working-class communities. I'd like to know what appeal old Etonians, Jacob William Rees-Mogg, and Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson, had to working-class communities? Anyone?

None of them are marxist loons?

I'm pretty sure NHS, Transport and Police did get a few mentions during the electioneering by all parties

Slightly more realistic policies and acceptance of the majority of the nations wish for Brexit to be finalised would be my guess.

TBH we need to get over this class thing, it's a red Herring IMO. There are plenty of people from ordinary backgrounds who could go to the top if they had the balls or could be bothered, Mrs Thatcher is a perfect example (minus the balls or maybe not ). It's just an excuse. These days most people are happy to make a killing and retire young whilst giving nothing back.

Doesnt matter who is in charge i know i have still to go to work monday morning and pay tax on my wage at end of the month
