How are UKIP 15/1 to win Copeland?

I don't understand that one at all. Surely Copeland is a straight Lab/Con fight, given UKIP are heavily focused on winning Stoke - and the rural blue leavers are back in the tory fold.

Lying matters. He does it daily. Either he doesn't know he's doing it, or he does it deliberately knowing that if he repeats it often enough some of his more asinine followers will start to believe the lies. This is not just a one-off slip, it's day after day after day.
Whatever, it is it's worrying either way.0 -

Much as I have been assured that no one is on tenterhooks, we do seem a bit too eager to have a special relationship. Not quite the English way of doing things but these are strange times.Jonathan said:If we were confident we wouldn't need a special relationship. Then again we wouldn't need Brexit either.

Apparently 1 in 3 Californians wants to secede from the Union, many as a protest to Trump.
If California is excluded from the popular vote last November, Trump would have won the nationwide popular vote by over a million.
Clinton's majority in the state was almost 4.3 million. Her majority in NY state was almost 2.7 million.0 -

May you live in interesting times?JohnO said:
Glad it wasn't just me who drew that conclusion. Trump could indeed be a transformative President - he is tearing up the old rule book of the US's place in the world and how it sees itself. My guess for the future is that he will secure some very big wins through to the medium term but hubris will, as hubris always does, will mean that he will overreach himself at some point and probably disastrously so. But on what?SeanT said:Trump did fine there. He was actually quite funny in places.
Intriguing.
Never seen anything like it in over 40 years observing politics. What's that Chinese curse?
Trump is perhaps reminiscent of the spectre of President Goldwater in 1964. I remember my parents talking nervously about it, only two years after the Cuban missile crisis. This time the nightmare's come true.0 -

Of course it is cringeworthy, but it's traditional; see Private Eye cartoons of Wilson licking LBJ's arse and Blair fellating GWB.

Macron has to get to the final two first and at the moment all the polls have it Le Pen v Fillon in the run off. Given Macron's statement today following May's meeting with Trump that the UK was no a 'vassal state' of the U.S. post Brexit UK should certainly hope that Fillon or even Le Pen win the French Presidency when Brexit talks start, not the EU Federalist Macron

I think everyone's become overly sensitive.TheWhiteRabbit said:
I thought it was a fair enough question, and I'm not overly minded to care too much about the president of another country's views.nunu said:
Don't be so sensitive. She was right with her implication many people in Britain will be concerned about his announcements. Chill.felix said:
No because she referenced it as if she was speaking for British people. She doesn't speak for me. Maybe you should try reading what I wrote before jumping on your high horse.nunu said:
why because a reporter asks a tough question?felix said:
You obviously do but you're hardly typical. Is it me alone who resents the idea that the unelected hack Laura K suddenly purports to speak for the British people when asking her question. It certainly makes me cringe as yet again the Liberal establishment demonstrate why people like Trump win elections.Roger said:Well done Laura K. I think she asked a question the majority of the country want answered. As for meeting the Queen....the demos will be HUGE!!

Tip for editors: stop assuming leaders of foreign elites will appreciate it as a huge favour if they're allowed to meet the "queen" and get their photos taken with her in public.
From an editorial in the Independent:
"So far as a deal is concerned, Mr Trump wangled a public invitation for a state visit to the UK later this year, complete with the usual pomp, ceremony and photo opportunities with the Queen."
He "wangled" it. What a favour he is receiving. He doesn't deserve it, but we know how the little darling likes it. How we smiled as we let him have it. Just don't ask us a second time, mind! And we'll consider letting you ride a horse in Windsor Great Park if you're a good boy!

The U.S. is the most powerful nation on earth and the largest single destination for UK exports, of course May accepted the invite of the POTUS. It is now abundantly clear that Macron is a Junker stooge, even worse than Hollande from a UK perspective and would be an even more anti British French President than Dr Gaulle. Vive La France indeed but hopefully Fillon or even Le Pen's France, we should certainly hope Macron loses this election before the Brexit talks beginDromedary said:
