Re: Lib Dem Watch
6 by elections last night. Labour lost votes in every one it contested averaging minus 10 points.
After 9 years of opposition, austerity, Brexit and calamitous Tories
Coincidentally, LibDems gained in every one of them averaging plus 15

Along with a quarter of the country.
Labour need to face facts - Corbyn and his ‘strategists’ are about to feck up an unloseable election.

Now Momentum more focused on stripping Tom Watson of Deputy Leadership. They should be renamed Inertia.

Re: Lib Dem Watch
If Swinson is serious about Stopping Brexit being the key issue for the Libs, I really don’t get why she persists in loudly & publicly blocking the idea of Corbyn as a temp leader of a short-term Unity Govt. Maybe they are worried Grandpa wont come over as the jew-hating, terrorist loving stalinist nutter he’s so hysterically painted as in the media.
It’s almost like she’s playing the same nonsense games as Johnson just to grab a few more worthless GE votes.

Re: Lib Dem Watch
Well, yes, but you never hear about other policies from the Bollox To Brexit Party. Despite them having a conference too recently, I can’t recall one Lib non-brexit policy sticking in my mind right now.

And all that proves is you know little about the Lib Dems.
Your ignorance is not a stick to beat the Lib Dems with.

Re: Lib Dem Watch
Both the Lib Dems and the Tories are betting on votes being cast at the next GE along Brexit/remain lines. Labour is betting on it being about more traditional domestic lines. Away from the Twitterverse and online rage, I think most voters don't give Brexit more than a passing thought. We'll see who has this right in the end, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Labour may actually be onto something.
I also think the Lib Dems are putting too much hope into their Bollox to Brexit policy. Even the Tories are being careful to make the odd reference to domestic issues (police, health etc). As for Swinson, she's just a shallow entity who will soon disappear into the corporate world as a paid non-exec director, advisor, speaker etc.

Re: Lib Dem Watch
Agree with some of that, Dunnem, but I’m not sure Labour (and non-brexit issues) wont get squeezed badly if we have a GE rather than 2nd ref to “sort it out” (it wont do nothing of the kind, of course - this self-inflicted shitshow is rumbling on for years whatever we do now)
I object to a GE being used on a single issue like brexit, tbh, but that’s the route all the main parties are heading.

Re: Lib Dem Watch
The weird leader of the Yellow Tories a Mrs Jo Swinson backed the Bedroom tax 11 times.
She backed disability cuts 7 times. And despite being told that Austerity was killing people, Jo Swinson carried on backing benefit cuts.
Not just weird but nasty and uncaring too.
