Why the hell does she stay in such a party? ttps://twitter.com/IsraelNewsNow/status/726437497694085121
If the Lib Dems have any sense they will be courting her and any other Lab MPs who feel more and more disgusted by their party in the past few days weeks months.
Who on earth would throw their lot in with Farron?
Given his particular branch of Christianity, it would be an uncomfortable move for many.
Yes Nick Cohen has this bang on to rights, and not because he was born a Jew:
"......Yet it was still profoundly alarming. There is a large block of around a million British citizens with a profoundly illiberal interpretation of Islam which treats basic human rights with scorn. You can tick them off the checklist. About one in three British Muslims think it acceptable to have more than one wife. A little more, 39 per cent, think that wives should always obey their husbands — compared with just 5 per cent of the rest of the population. As for gay rights, only one in five Muslims thinks that homosexuality should be legal compared to four in five members of the wider public. As for racism, 35 per cent of British Muslims think Jews have too much power compared to 9 per cent non-Muslims.
Respect for freedom of speech was hard to find: 87 per cent say that there should be no right to make fun of the Prophet. And 4 per cent favoured outright violence."
I'm not sure what's wrong with a man having more than one wife. (Or a wife having more than one husband.)
Of course, sometimes I think even one wife is too many.
I have utmost respect for polygamists.
I struggle to manage just one wife!

Heh. I guess that the Beatles have, willy nilly, contributed to British "soft power" (as I think it's called), and hugely helped exports. It's a cross to bear I guess.

more amusing to move it 10 metres further down the road
I think it is safe to conclude that Labour are now a racist party. Sadly there does not seem to be a sensible left-wing alternative.
Sadly there does not seem to be a sensible left-wing alternative.
Cameron seems to be heading in that direction.
Quite. What there seems to be a lack of is a sensible right of centre party. The difference in policies between Cameron's Conservative government and Blair's Labour government has to me always seemed a bit thin, but now I doubt you'd get a fag paper between the two.
I suppose it is not surprising since Cameron early on declared he was the true heir to Blair and both tried to appeal to the mythical centre ground and both let an over-mighty Chancellor run riot over domestic policy. To the detriment of their own party and the country I might add.
Bring forth again the manifesto of the Patrick Party. The party of what I think is the real Common Ground, behind which the majority, of whatever class, race or religion, the people of our Island Nation can unite.

But people don't seem to have much sympathy :
Actually I at least do have sympathy. Rooming in at King's, Cambridge, over holidays was pretty annoying. The tramp of tourists' was hard to stand, although most were subdued/diffident. The volume of traffic was the problem.
Witnessing all these internal team struggles can be quite distressing. I speak of course, of Captain America: Civil War.
Lame joke aside, yet another very fun action movie. Doesn't make it into great territory I think, due to some logical issues which don't ruin the fun, but I just struggled to get past.
On more weighty matters, not sure the Ken story can be dragged out much longer, though he's doing his best. At worst it might cause some people to stay at home rather than vote Labour, but unless they were going to be doing better in Scotland, Wales and England outside London than expected, it was already thought they'd do badly, and it'll take more than what has been shown to derail Khan's triumph, so it will rumble on in the background until the report on it, but otherwise fade away.
No, you don't need to be a saint. But you used the word 'expect'. If we set expectations that those who are wronged will wrong in their turn (and by implication accept such reaction), then we are setting our society up for Sicilian-style ever-esaclating feuds.
All civilizations have learned how to balance justice, punishment and forgiveness in order to avoid precisely that spiral into violence.
The saintliness vs revenge you offer is not the full range of choices.

Of course it is Mr. D., it even has a great name - one that is politically neutral but that needs explaining to future generations. As you play with your grand-children and they ask about the wonderful government this country has been blessed with for 50 plus years you will be able to explain to them how Patrick (possibly St. Patrick of Common Sense by then) came on to this web site and outlined his vision for another way.

I don't know. I'm expecting tomorrow's papers to be dreadful for Labour. All those activists social media accounts about Zios to be picked over by journalists. We'll see in a few hours.
Mr. Sandpit, especially given his lacklustre performance last time. Don't think he even made top 6, which really surprised me.
He was 7th last time out, from right at the back and with a pit stop at the end of the first lap. Russia is difficult to pass but his pace in practice was 2 seconds a lap faster than those around him - he should have no problems until he comes up to the Williams and Ferrari. The team could of course do something a little different with the strategy, maybe 2-stop with the extra set of SS tyres that weren't used in Q3?

Mr. Sandpit, yeah, but Hamilton's car is the fastest on the grid by a mile and he's a great driver. His odds on a podium were something daft (2.62, upon checking).
Two-stopping may make little sense as the tyres appear to last forever.
This article has been flagged up on Matthew Goodwin's Twitter page:
"A far-right president of Austria is all but inevitable REINHARD HEINISCH 30 April 2016 The opposition is too weak, civil society too apathetic and far-right sentiment too strong to stop Norbert Hofer being elected President of Austria."
In other news, I got my manifesto booklet for the London elections today. Apparently the LDs are on the list ballot paper as "Caroline Pigeon's London Liberal Democrats". Following on from the odious Galloway, who I think started this trend, Salmond and Davidson, is there a less likely "put the leader's name on the ballot paper because they have a better brand than the party"?

Your blog said 1.57 for Lewis the podium. It's now 1.71 on Betfair. Joint second favourite with Vettel, after Rosberg. He's good, but not that good!
Mr. Sandpit, it still doesn't tempt me. The Williams and Ferraris will probably be able to hold him up, and maybe some others too. He could get a good start, but recent form suggests a terrible one is likelier.
I wonder why "Keith Harris dies" (last updated April 2015) has come back into the BBC's "most read" again.
Underneath a memorial piece about him in the Guardian, I recall one poster commenting that Harris was a veteran left-winger and in the mid-1990s had once entertained the Russian Communist Party at one of their party conferences in Crimea. No particular details were left, but one imagines Orville singing Soyuz nerushimy respublik svobodnykh...
I wondered whether this was one of those bizarre truths we never hear of, or a spectacular piece of trolling.

'Indeed, I think John Mcdonnell could be Labour's Michael Howard to Corbyn's IDS, from the same wing of the party, both Shadow Chancellor but both more media savvy, intelligent and heavy hitting. Howard did not win but he did ensure the Tories made modest progress in 2005 to set up their future recovery.'
Howard achieved a 3% swing and gained over 30 seats in 2005. If Mcdonnell were to manage that he would make it to No 10!
McDonnell is no Howard.
Howard might have had something about the night about him. McDonnell has something about the IRA about him.
And I think we all know how the British would react to having a terrorist apologist as a potential PM candidate.
McDonnell was a heavy hitter of the Left as Howard was of the right, neither were in the centre, both could get 32% of the vote, as Howard did in 2005. There were plenty of things in Howard's past, his authoritarianism, Derek Lewis etc the left could not stand too

Wrong, Howard increased the Tory vote by 0.7%, he won more seats mainly because of Labour voters switching to the LDs (who also took off seats from Labour). The LDs would have backed a Labour government anyway. If McDonnell increased the Labour vote by 0.7% he would not end up PM, if Tory voters went to UKIP, UKIP would still prop up a minority Tory government and even if Labour won 30 seats off the Tories the Tories would still be largest party, especially with the boundary changes to come

McDonnell is not a heavy hitter in the slightest. He never came close to a position within the Party until his mate got elected. You cannot compare Howard's record with that of McDonnell - a man who has openly supported terrorists.

That's Opinium's first lead for the Remainers since 9th April last year - Matt Singh
That's what spending the taxpayers money on leaflets will buy you.
For now....
I'm just glad that poll fits in with what I've written for the morning thread.
But honestly if Leave's case can be damaged by one simple government leaflet, especially in this age of cynicism, then Leave's case isn't that strong
Well, give Leave an equivalent amount of money for an equivalent Leave leaflet and you might see just how flaky Remain's position has become!
Considering the amount of free coverage LEAVE gets in the press[1], and what it does with it[2], I'm not sure that's defensible.
[1] I would say the Daily Mail has given up any pretentions of objectivity, but to be fair, the Daily Mail has never pretended to be objective. Or, let's be honest, a newspaper [2] Older readers may remember when Eurosceptics at least pretended to offer a open, outward-looking Brexit based on free trade.Nowadays it's "LOOK! FOREIGN PEOPLE! EW!"
The last few days sums up the problem of current Labour Party. It is the last weekend of the campaign. The main opposition should be busy trying to attack the government record. However, they spend the whole time talking about itself because of the antics of one of their past sell day politician
It is going to take more than that to stick to Teflon Khan at the moment. His constant protestations about any attack on him and his friends being racist is working as a shield. Sadly.
The Tories would have burning crosses outside their homes if they'd 1% of this shit on their shoes.
Boris used racism all the time. "Piccaninnies". No burning crosses. Enough of the victim complex, please.

You have a very rose-tinted view of McDonnell's "career". His elevation to the Shadow Chancellorship was achieved only because of the arrival of Corbyn - and you will remember how many objected to the appointment from within the Party. He has held no other ministerial or shadow role - unsurprising considering his extreme views and his record of being a serial rebel against the Party line. None of that puts him on a par with Howard - who has a long record of service in a range of roles.
Take the blinkers off and look at what McDonnell has done and said over his life, the people and causes he has supported. He is not a vote-winner for Labour, he never has been and he never will be.
Without Corbyn, he would still be on the backbenchers. And yet, here we are talking about him leading Labour - possibly within a matter of months - even though he failed in his many previous attempts to stand for election to that position.

I wondered whether this was one of those bizarre truths we never hear of, or a spectacular piece of trolling.

I like both of them. But which one's better? There's only one way to find out....
For now....

My opposite is Andy Burnham.
But honestly if Leave's case can be damaged by one simple government leaflet, especially in this age of cynicism, then Leave's case isn't that strong

[1] I would say the Daily Mail has given up any pretentions of objectivity, but to be fair, the Daily Mail has never pretended to be objective. Or, let's be honest, a newspaper
[2] Older readers may remember when Eurosceptics at least pretended to offer a open, outward-looking Brexit based on free trade.Nowadays it's "LOOK! FOREIGN PEOPLE! EW!"
I think I should hand in my PB Tory papers.

Take the blinkers off and look at what McDonnell has done and said over his life, the people and causes he has supported. He is not a vote-winner for Labour, he never has been and he never will be.
Without Corbyn, he would still be on the backbenchers. And yet, here we are talking about him leading Labour - possibly within a matter of months - even though he failed in his many previous attempts to stand for election to that position.
What a mad, mad world.
Eeeeek! That was clever. How did you:
A. Find it so damn fast? ;and
B. Create the link?
I feel like a Neanderthal luddite not knowing these things.

'Despite Trump’s supposed appeal with blue collar voters, Clinton does better among those who earn less than $35,000 a year (53% to 38%), while Trump ties Clinton among those making more than $75,000. Trump does, however, do better than Clinton among the less educated, beating her 48% to 43% with those who have only a high school education.
Trump also faces an enormous gender gap with Clinton. While he gets more male votes than Clinton (45% to 43%), Clinton gets 51% of the female vote to Trump’s 36%.'
