    This gets better. So, by implication, Big Ears, BoZo et al are not halfwits?? Really??? And was it you who accused someone else of being out of touch? <laugh>

    If you read around both national and international press you will see many responsible politicians suggesting that this has become to big for a single party. At PMQs today it was Corbyn who appeared to be the Statesman, and Johnson looking like the shady car salesman who was a bit lost when he found out the customer was actually from trading standards. To watch Johnson agree with everything that Corbyn suggested was a good indication of just what a sham party politics actually is now, and for those who try to keep it going you can only ask why?

    Cross-party Gove? <yikes> I don’t want him anywhere near me! Gove and his mates are people from whom I have always social-distanced.

    The labour front bench have been leading the way , calling for all the things this govt has dragged its feet over for weeks , only due to a press that frankly don’t hold the tories to account , that it’s not being reported .
    The tories are in the very embarrassing situation of having to enact socialist solutions to a real crisis , to save the economy and civil life , yet their adherents seem blind to any criticism, reminds me of cult followers , .....

    The reason there was such apathy, particularly in my generation, for politics, is this ridiculous idea that parties had to counter-view each other. The Labour Health Spokesperson made a silly-arse comment the other day. I don’t remember what it was, but it annoyed me.

    Nobody is taking any notice of the comments from the Labour Party. The SNP have had to step in as the official opposition whilst Labour decide which second rate politician will lead it in opposition for the next ten years. Until Momentum is removed from the Labour NEC controlling body all traditional Labour MP's will be kept away from any influence.

    There is absolutely no chance of anything but a token gesture towards any Labour politician influencing the government. The public firmly recently rejected Labour, the last thing it wants is inexperienced career politicians having a say in government policy.

    It would be pointless to bat this back and forward. Your assurance is as valuable as the evidence you supply to back it up.

    For ‘Nobody is’ read ‘SHead is not’. <doh>
