70! I'd have guessed about 58. He was odds on to become tory leader back in 2005. Then he made a terrible speech, David Cameron, who no one thought could win, made a very polished one and the rest was history.Which off course directly lead to this complete mess with Cameron's EU referendum idea which almost everyone told him was a stupid needless risk.

If he had even the teeniest of political brains, he would have been PM 6 months by now. A spectacularly useless ***t, so anti-EU that he's happier to chance the outcome of a Tory Brexit, which even he is probably reasonably aware will be an utter disaster, ahead of his own party's chance of being in Government, and him being PM. There's ideals & ideals, but when they indirectly lead to consequences that will only ultimately satisfy the far right and some Tory millionaires, ya would want to be questioning where yer going, particularly if you are meant to be the leader of the left. The Labour members certainly would anyway, or at least those not trapped in a Corbyn personality cult. Best thing he could do for his party & country is resign. He has ignored a fundamental rule of being in opposition, if the goverment are for something, it usually makes political sense (if not always real life sense) to go against it. In this case, it makes both political and real sense, but the only alternative he has come up with is some class of Diet, Sugar-Free Brexit. Said it before here, the Brits are a bit unlucky to have both their worst government and worst opposition operating at exactly the same time. |

Which is why he is different. Having the same sh*te over and over again, and opposing things for the sake of being in opposition is wrong and one of the many reasons that democracy is a fine idea in theory, but...You can be against Brexit without being pro-EU, that is the stance of a lot of the people that got Corbyn elected Labour leader that he needs behind him to ever be PM. Just adopting the neo-liberal agenda of New Labour would mean no opposition here at all. All the Lib Dems have is being anti-Brexit, leave them to it. There will be a lot more to the fallout from this than just that, especially the way the Tories are going about it.
Stay principled and stay honest, it will eventually pay off.

The interesting thing with Corbyn’s Labour is that we are nearly 18 months after the election and his Labour Party have never established a clear lead over the stories. Currently, a hung parliament is the most likely outcome. Corbyn’s Brexit stance and Labour’s direct competition with the SNP in Scotland would also make it difficult to see a grand coalition working unless a second vote was promised to the Liberal Democrat and the SNP were given a rerun of the Independence referendum, the latter which is anything but sure of success.
Old habits die hard and Corbyn has historically been a euro critic . His campaign in 2016 was a joke considering the issues at stake and his Brexit statements tend to be unworkable from the start, entirely vague, or accepting of the outcome in 2016. For his part, he knows what he is dealing with given the constituencies that voted to leave. Brexiteer Tories lost safe seats for holding that position, and the protest UKIP votes that returned to the Tories in 2017 are in some Labour heartlands. Equally there are staunch Labour Constituencies which voted to leave.

that's a given in any coalition between Lab and SNP. but i don't think it will even come to that. Tories will be strung out. Many industries and multi nationals are leaving the UK by the droves and there will be a huge middle class vote swing away from the Tories. UK is in for one hell of a ride over the next 2 years and we are at the tail end of it.

Brexit is clearly very bad for Ireland but hopefully we see more of this to help mitigate it.

See that David Cameron has been spotted looming around Downing St.
Wants the Foreign Sec job when May goes. Creates a mess holding the referendum, leaves, comes back when another GE is looming when the blames been deflected. What a sound guy.

There's a thread on Twitter by a fella called Edwin Hayward about 50 effects which Brexit has had on UK business already, well worth reading. Can't post the link from my phone for some reason.
