Saw him on the TV the other day. Was very loyal, with his fetching black shirt.
I didn't think decapitation strategies were often successful.
Ted Heath and Theresa May didn’t get a boost.
Hint: I haven't found one better......
I mean I seldom mention I tipped Amber Rudd as next out of the cabinet and Javid as her successor at 33/1 each.
We’re humble people with legendary modesty.
Let's hope Bailey becomes the 2020 London mayor.

It's a long shot, obv. 100/1 would have been a great bet. I got a few quid on at 66/1, but I wouldn't want to go much lower than that.
Could have got Eddie on easily if they had a brain
Wouldn't fit in at all in your shithole of a terrorist supporting party.

Means the likes of Watson have failed to win the day.

Definitely not Topping who would surely be shouting "your shithole of a terrorist supporting party" down the Megaphone

The pair [Bartley and Berry] easily saw off challenges from rivals, scooping 6,239 of the 8,379 votes cast, against 1,466 for Shahrar Ali and 495 for Leslie Rowe.
Amelia Womack was re-elected for a third term as deputy leader, taking 3,981 out of 7,369 votes.
Is that standard for Green leadership votes?
Boris Yeltsin would have been guaranteed a podium finish in any event he entered.
If Willsman is being kept outside, the same should apply to others who have expressed inappropriate sentiments. Corbyn, Webbe and more
"I do feel, Reg, that any Anti-Imperialist group like ours must reflect such a divergence of interests within its power-base, that is....erm, unless they happen to be Jewish".
"Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually publically say he hates Jews, seeing as he hasn't got a brain, which is nobody's fault, not even the Tories', but that he can have the right to hate Jews."

Germany and state surveillance...that hasnt turned out too well in the past.
Essentially, where there is more than a binary choice for a society, it is impossible to infer a decision accurately reflecting the "will of the people" from a binary vote.
Indeed the big split by the end of the year could well be on how to settle a prolonged impasse.
Some MPs think a new referendum is the only way to avoid a general election.
Others anticipate and are planning for a general election to avoid another referendum."

[As an aside, the UK being in the customs union is daft. Having the EU put a custom barrier within the UK is 100% unacceptable. Even the likes of Mogg and Grieve are united on that].
Plus you seem to have been spending quite a lot of time on researching the sartorial habits of various activists.
In the absence of agreed solutions, as set out in the previous paragraph, the United
Kingdom will ensure that no new regulatory barriers develop between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom, unless, consistent with the 1998 Agreement, the Northern Ireland Executive and Assembly agree that distinct arrangements are appropriate for Northern Ireland. In all circumstances, the United Kingdom will continue to ensure the same unfettered access for Northern Ireland's businesses to the whole of the United Kingdom internal market.

It's a chain - NI remains in full alignment on both regulation and customs policy. GB remains in alignment with NI on regulation to maintain the UK internal market, but the EU has no obligation to extend any special treatment beyond Northern Ireland.
How can that access be the 'same unfettered' variety if the EU has annexed Northern Ireland into its customs union, and the rest of the UK is without?
It's drunken madness. Or the EU's official position, which may explain why so many were not enamoured with it to start with.

And, unpleasant though he probably is (I never saw the video) it sticks in the craw to have an elected member of the NEC slung off for events that took place before his election. Either you believe in democracy or you don’t.
