Will be interesting to see which way Calder Valley goes. I am surprised he hasn't focused on more marginals that a comparatively safe Tory seat. It is certainly frustrating some of my Labour supporting mates. Big crowds in Hebden Bridge too. Large student population

The Tories have done a great job looking after my injured and wounded fellow marines and Jonny Mercer MP here in Plymouth is champion to ALL ex serviceman and does a fantastic job all over the country. With Corbyn its all talk as it was with Boy Blair and Brown. They could not look after themselves let alone servicemen ...apart from sending the poor blokes to war under a false banner ???

Students don't have a great record of voting Hebden Bridge has the highest ratio of lesbians per population in the U.K. However, after a cursory internet search, they appear to be 'reality' lesbians, as opposed to 'fantasy' lesbians, whose activities are documented on film found on any healthy young mans hard drive. However, I digress, how brave of Jezza to hold a rally in an area of high minority population, and not the angry sort of minority, either. One wonders why he isn't holding such rallies in places like Stoke or Hartlepool, where the people voted almost 4-to-1 in some places for Brexit? Maybe it's because the current Labour leadership think of the white working class as being a bit 'eurggh' and don't really want to be associated with them? Edited by matt_himself (16 May 2017 7.47am)

Edited by matt_himself (16 May 2017 7.47am) Yep, the modern day Labour party don't really like or represent the typical British working class anymore. Emily Thornberry and the 'white van gate' situation in 2014 tells you all you need to know about what they think of them. The fact is that she's now the 'acceptable face' of the Labour party and represents them on TV....what is she now, shadow foreign minister? The modern day Labour party deserve every bit of rejection they get from the working class......Mostly chattering class-like, well intentioned but hypocritical snobs.

That's old news Nick (2013) since then in four years mercer has done wonders and so has the Government. Most ex servicemen are well looked after these days.
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

I don't believe the polls. I think Labour are going to get absolutely humped, all the indicators (economic incompetence, leadership, Scotland) point to a landslide victory for the Conservatives. Don't think they'll be far off a three-figure majority. EFA

See what does this even mean? I'm guessing by 'typical' you mean 'white', yes? Corbyn appears to be appealing to the BME working class on a near unprecedented level, a sizeable group of the modern working class, and a group which has typically been disenfranchised because of successive government policies. But also look at his rallies, and listen to the people interviewed at them. These are in places like York, Leeds, Leicester, not exactly bourgeois metropolitan havens. He's getting thousands turning up. Who was the last politician in this country who could get thousands for a rally in places like that?
If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4 |

That is great for our democracy. Let's not forget we live in a country where most in poverty are in work. Pledges to increase the minimum wage, build new council homes, and reduce the tax burden on the poorest are such a refreshing change to the past 7 years. Labour are finally returning to their roots as a party for the working classes.

No doubt at all who is coming across best on the 'hustings' that is JC who seems to be relishing the people pressure whereas May positively winces at any form of human contact. Who would ever have thought a tory PM would be so desperate as to offer council house building and workers rights. I don't think the voters believe any of it as stupid as they are.
So you are suggesting that only the Tories make give away pledges in their Manifestos? Grow up.

Including brexit but also the failure to vote for a representative voting system. The one partv state is probably here to stay and its the voters own fault. A dictator could easily happen here.

I think that quote is aimed at yourself as your posts are getting more ridiculous than they ever where. You obviously read into every article you see in a different way to the rest of us mere mortals. The Prime Minister is doing her best to make something good from all the hash and spin the Labour have been doing for years and years. You must get it in your head right now Jeremy Corbyn is a loser and will never ever get into no 10 Downing street. Theresa May is going to have such a majority at this election that Labour will be wiped out. I feel sorry for the Labour voters that have stuck with their movement for decades and now have an idiot in charge that has ruined what they stood for in the old days. We used to have a good opposition party but now we have nothing of the sort. I shall be glad when the election is over and we can get down to the business of Brexit and get a great deal for ourselves under Theresa May and shut up the remainers who stir up trouble at every step. The public voted and we got Brexit so deal with it!
