Hope nobody else is hurt. Thoughts with any victims.
Hopefully as you say it is just the bastards, looks like the Police got there quickly as you would expect.
- a) Before an election is called
- b) Just after the election is called
- c) Two week before the election is called when the Tories look like they are heading for a massive majority
The answers areLib Dem
Not sure
Tory
but of course millions of voters don't watch politics, have no idea about the opinion polls let alones the MRP data,
What it means is that voters are polarising to their respective parties. IMHO
Never mind, once the election is out the way, PB’ers can get back to arguing that our political system is broken and we need an alternative to the tired old parties (that you mostly just voted for, again).
Hope nobody innocent got hurt in London today.
Met source: 5 casualties, but apparently they've detained the suspect.
Suspect dead. Hope there's no other terrorists involved and no other follow up attacks.
There is a big difference between how Labour and Conservative deal with elections. The Labour Party's first aim is to improve the life of others, pick the policies to meet that and then try to win power. (Execpt for Tony Blair). For the Conservatives it's always been the other way around, Get power and then work out the policies which will help people after they are there. It is why they have been so much more successful than Labour over the last 100 years in winning elections.
Europe policy is the only thing that goes against this for the Tories.
The fact is that all post war prime ministers that first come to power at an election are alumni of Oxford university.
Jeremy Corbyn did not go to Oxford. He will not be prime minister.

LibDems and Greens are going to be disappointed that the best breakthrough chance for ages evaporated, and the chances of reversing Brexit look slim (at least in the short term). People who argue for realignment or new political parties will have seen all of TIG, BXP, various Indys and a record number of defector MPs mostly to the LibDem crash and burn. Labour will see Corbynism arrive at its dead end and, since the next Blair is not yet arisen, face a choice between electing a Kinnock figure or choosing another left winger to spiral further down their rabbit hole. Tories will briefly be pleased to be winners, then find they have been elected on the back of no enthusiasm whatsoever, with no programme whatsoever, and when the grim reality of Brexit returns to fill the airwaves will descend to so far unplumbed depths of unpopularity. Led by a buffoon who until very recently most of his colleagues were very sensibly determined to keep away from high office.
The only people who should be cheerful are non-Tory councillors due to defend their seats next May.
Truly unbelievable

What were Labour thinking
Plus the unions gifted them over 3 mil just the other day
London Ambulance declare major incident
London Ambulance Service said it had declared a major incident.
A statement on Twitter said: "We have now declared a major incident and have a number of crews at the scene in London Bridge. We will share more information as soon as we have it."
But kudos to the guy who looks like got stuck in
I was planning a trip to London with my children - makes one think twice.
I reckon that if we had STV, its myriad nuances and complexities would be more than sufficient to keep PB’s team of budding analysts profitably occupied and amused.
Shome mishtake shurely.
But we do not yet know who the terrorist is. Wise to wait until we do before jumping to conclusions, don’t you think?
Let alone making political points.
In the meanwhile, respect to the guy who tackled the attacker and the police and emergency services and let’s hope all those attacked will be well.
There have been a number of quite exceptional responses by normal people to recent terror incidents.
There are people like that in all walks of life and parties
Show some respect
