Just as importantly the overwhelming smear laid at Corbyns door was that he was simply unelectable . That hed lead Labour into oblivion . That was even more corrosive i reckon than the other stuff, which reeked of panic as the polls started to go wobbly . Its the most damaging perception and complete and utter bollocks now . Corbyn had to contend with this from within as well as without. From the entire British media..Guardian included ..and not least his own fucking party . Who were out campaigning with " our leaders a born loser who can't win in a million years " as their pitch . That definitely cost them seats, impossible it didn't . It's been a non stop mantra across the board from the very second he assumed leadership . And didn't work.
The Fresh Prince of Blair will have to change the record .

I've read in a couple of places now people suggesting that any coalition/deal with the DUP could be a contravention of the terms of the Good Friday Agreement and as such will trigger an almighty clusterfuck.
Can anyone who knows more than me about this shed any light on this? True/False/Twitter bullshit?

dunno if it is a contraventon but taking sides in NI is utter fucking imbecility for any UK government. Utterly nuts and short sighted
fucks sake. its either laugh or cry.

Said on Radio 4 just now, at least that Westminister are supposed to be mediating the resumption of the Stormont Assembly which is not currently operating as things have broken down between Sinn Fein and DUP. This, at least, will be more than a little bit awkward.

I'very seen a fair bit about how a coalition with the DUP will prevent the Westminster government from mediating in Northern Island due to a clear loss of neutrality but I do not know if that is mandated by the good Friday agreement.
I Would not be at all surprised if the DUP coalition cannot happen in reality. Typical of her to act without knowing all the facts and potential consequences. To disrupt the good Friday agreement work would be catastrophic.

I'm curious to see if the papers get the knives out for May. One thing I heard about Murdoch is he likes his papers to pick a winner...picking a loser reflects badly.

is there going to be much grovelling from senior PLP members now, or will they refuse to eat humble pie?

slight system overdrive
It's just occurred to me, there are Human Rights Act supporters among the Tories, which means May can't scrap it now.
And in general, anything controversial she can't do. How long can she really last I wonder?

I think it pretty much dooms the entire GFA . Can't see how it doesn't . I'll be quite happy about that .

I think I'm going to regret this, but why? Why do you not want the good Friday agreement in place?

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
Does that mean if the pope shook hands with Jesus they'd both explode into nothingness like in Star Trek?

Yes, the anti Christ . Yet another favourite on a long list of the DUPs greatest hits .
The irony in this election is just too great to bear. Everything has been directly reversed from the campaign - the Tories have been plunged into disarray while Labour have united, the Tories are leading a "coalition of chaos" which will make solving the Irish border issue incredibly difficult and may well cause a return to sectarian violence, the Tories are in hock to terrorism-linked extremists, and the Tories are now surely perceived as the incompetent chaotic party while Corbyn has been tranformed into a dignified elder statesmen and master strategist.
The irony of this is too much too bear. The Tories losing their image of "competence" may well prove fatal for them.

Was listening to chuka today on the radio and he kept congratulating " labour " on their performance and refusing to even mention corbyn by name or concede their leader had anything to do with the result . Much less congratulate him . Despite the interviewer trying to trap him into it . No change there .

The DUPs current longest serving MP is Jeffrey Donaldson . During the 1980s Jeffrey was Enoch Powells election agent. He spearheaded Powells 2 electoral victories for the south down seat and states openly he is immensely proud of the fact today . He..today..regards Powell as one of the greatest names in unionism ever . Itson his website. That's another one of the MPs whos bum is now being kissed by Theresa may .

Ironically Jeffrey is now a very senior of a party who made " rivers of blood " an actual reality . He was knighted recently as well . So that's " sir Jeffrey " if you're a wanker .

What has struck me - on a purely anecodatal basis - is how the Yoot have taken an interest in this GE. The kids are at a very mixed SE london Secondary & from what I hear, the teachers may have been tasked to discuss the GE during citizenship or whatever. Some of the teachers have said they are voting Conservative ( as fucking if!) to provoke a debate. I think this is a set up - but the result has been a) a *lively* disucussion of the GE in class and b) my kids getting up at 6AM to see the results( and finding dad lying asleep on the carpet in front of BBC news).
Even on snapchat and shit, they seem to be chewing through the various +/- of the campaign policies between themselves and genuinely taking an interest.They are constantly asking Q about the process and the policies.
I know this may be an outlier but it is not something I / my cohort was that bothered about at their age. Obviously mine are in a houshold where politics are part of the relationship.
anyone else seeing this ?

Actually I have to point out that this is a story that someone's dredged up from 2011 on Twitter. Still funny though.
