Why the lib-dems are shit

Could be shit stirring from the LibDems mouthpiece, but it's certainly what some people want.

Labour looks at collaborating with Lib Dems and Greens in Stoke
Jeremy Corbyn’s team have informally explored the idea of collaborating with the Greens and Liberal Democrats in Stoke-on-Trent Central to keep Paul Nuttall, the Ukip leader, out of parliament.

A senior figure in the Labour leader’s office has asked a go-between what it would take to persuade the Lib Dems and Greens to dial down their campaigns, or even withdraw candidates, in the byelection later this month, the Guardian understands.
 

yeah thats barton seagrave. Village-ish little place. Very nimby. You can get through it on a bike very quickly if you go the main route. Just another of those half-extant villages nudging up next to towny sprawls you get in this borough. It's not a bad place in honesty, looks nice enough (not chocolate box village nice but quietly shabby-genteel).

take that to kettering proper wards and you'll be seeing w/c tory, ukip and english democrat votes. Labour lost here ages ago.
 
The lib dems seem to have taken the opportunity while the other parties were focused on these parliamentary byelections to be targeting council byelections to rebuild their Councillor base, winning 8 of the 13 council seats that have changed hands since the start of the year.
 
Quality :D

A Lib Dem mayoral candidate was mistakenly billed in campaign material as standing for Labour.

Households were sent a leaflet giving "three reasons to back Beverley Nielsen for West Midlands Labour mayor".

One reason not to do so would be that Ms Nielsen was actually standing for the Liberal Democrats.

A campaign spokesman said the leaflet had been created by the local party - the Hall Green group.

Feeling more reassured now.

Even if their vote rises as a result of corralling the h/c remainer vote. Hopefully it'll be spread around the country and not in any winning concentrations anywhere.

Caroline Lucas making a massive fucking mistake promoting the idea of standing aside for Lib Dems too.
 
Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in graunid thread

Tim Farron says he doesn't believe being gay is a sin

Of course, Farron is able to answer this question in a weaselly way because he can answer in the negative while still believing that gay sex is a sin which means that his position on there is roughly the same as that of say ISIS who also do not believe that being gay is a sin.
 
I see former Medway MP for Labour Bob Marshall Andrews has defected to the Yellows, I don't think that will be much of a blow to Labour or boost to his new party despite his former friendship with JC, he is no man of the people.
 
I had a chat with a former LibDem MP who claimed that his party never once voted for the Bedroom Tax, despite 'sir' Steve Webb co creating it in Coalition. Good times.
