General Election 2015

[Hampster Gull]

Please can we have the original title back? It makes me laugh every time I read it and reminds me just how far hapless Ed and Labour have progressed on their inevitable march to No.10

Yes, why has the title changed? Perhaps adding Red and Two Kitchens in the title would have been better

It's here:http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...ublic-money-for-a-business-loan-10156460.html

And Ernest exaggerated perhaps as it's only the Indy that is carrying it.

It's also interesting how cagey the article is leading with 'Did....'

So it's a question rather than a fact.

Cameron said he had two kitchens as well. What's the big deal?

Only two?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Only two?

And to be factually correct Ed was photographed in his "tea perpetration area". So he only has one kitchen like the rest of us.

ComRes poll in South Thanet have intentions as CON 31% UKIP 30% LAB 29%. UKIP have dropped 9 points but interestingly Labour are up 10 points to turn it into a 3 way marginal.

It mildy amused me. Who needs two jags when you can have two kitchens. Who needs state school when your kid can go private.

But it has an oven. And stools. And Red Ed has said he and his wife use the smaller one as their main one. Not sure you are factually correct.

Tories are patently going to nick the election on account of the Weird Ed factor. Least impressive Labour leader ever? Hell, yes!

If that happens they only have themselves to blame. They still allow the Union barons to call the shots. Labour Affiliates get a third of the vote for the Labour Leader and they dragged Red Ed just ahead of his brother despite the votes of MPs and Labour members. David i believe would be walking this, or at least forcing Cameron into a higher risk campaign

Seems to me - seriously - that the Greens are now occupying much of the ground that Labour used to occupy. Labour seems to me to have lost all focus and is now reduced to mouthing the platitudes it thinks it should be mouthing. Trouble is, its so transparently insincere, that they might as well not have bothered.

Don't forget Michael Foot!

Michael Foot was a brilliant man. Terrible leader though.

He was doing OK til he fell in the sea on Brighton beach

Very decent clever man, tho an easy target for terminally unfunny like Kenny Everett

Er they are a party founded by the unions for their members, to counter the money of big business - I really never understand the argument that Unions cannot give donations where as very wealthy business and individuals can give very big donations for access to a party that represents their interests.

David was New labour and supported the Iraq war where as Ed did not, also I like to think its a bit more than just personality that should count.

Fair point on substance and i agree its more important than personaility. For me David has more substance but agree he is less Left than Ed and perhaps that is not what Labour voters want now. i think the floating voters may prefer less Left though.

I hadn't commented on subs and donations though. I am in the camp parties should be funded centrally but that a different area. In meantime, Labour should be in part funded by Unions

Then sold his soul to the EU. I'm pretty sure he was very anti until he realised what a gravy train it's is for him and his entire family.
