It seems that some losers can't accept that they lost and don't understand the meaning of the word democracy

There's a growing movement on the right to campaign for Diane Abbott for next Labour leader.

A little cruel perhaps but amusing all the same.

Oddschecker are quoting 100/1 on her being the next leader so is this a betting coup?

Further dismantlement of the public sector coming our way given the large majority and their mates in the city as well as party donors.

Labour's inability to present policies that the electors could vote for is the problem. The gap that was not managed has been what goes down well with the membership and what a voter will put their X against.

You have to feel sorry for them. It was all going so well on the day votes were pouring in for Labour and they thought they would win. Unfortunately for them around 5pm everybody who worked started to vote.

 


One more point

It actually needs it.
Too many managers passing the buck.
My son was in a hospital wanting to isolate a breaker on a distribution board.
Six people (seniorish) later.
The person who could make the decision was off for the day.
Absolutely ludicrous.
I'm sure this is probably typical of all aspects of the public sector.
Including on the health side.
Jobs for the boys back in the 90s by labour.

Flip me. I’m an old man and thought I’d seen everything.

Morons protesting against a legal election result is new one.

Whatever next?

Interesting break down of voting patterns in the Times today.

Based on socio-economic group, the Torys won the majority of the vote at every level.

Tory, SNP, Green vote went up by 1%. Lib Dem up by 4%, Labour went down by 8%.

Obviously, 1% increase for The tories represents a lot more votes cast than the SNP and green got.

Seems like the Lib Dem vote also played a big part in splitting the Labour vote, but that isn't shown in the number of seats they won.

It's still proving difficult to drum home to the hard left just how bad this defeat is.
