Hmmmm...
In all honesty though without the negativity being thrown around over the EU business, he might have scraped through again, but the leaders seem damaged, their party divided and angry, so admission of failure on economic targets and the cumulative weight of the cuts narrative for years has probably found a more fertile audience than in previous years.
Hasn't been shafted on other VAT stuff at the same time? e.g. home insulation?
But I would almost certainly still vote for them if a GE was held tomorrow.
It will take the Conservatives about 15 years to work that out, of course.
Liverpool knocked Manchester United out of Europe
BOO
But if they want to go for it and ensure Farron is the most sensible of the party leaders in parliament (given Nicola is at Holyrood), sure, go for it.
isam, who seems to be absent at present, will be pleased. I hope he'll return soon enough.
UK politics is in full churn right now.
It takes a heart of stone...
Cameron and Osborne are running the party into the ground.
Another shambles of a budget. No doubt Osborne will backtrack on the cuts to disability payments in the next few weeks.
IDS redux?
Tories want to win above all else, hence its Bojo's on a plate.
On the other hand, Corbyn and Co anywhere near power is a serious risk to everyone in the UK regardless of Tory PM.
I'm crying with laughter, what are they doing?!?

This is not a fluke.
But that enough people claim that, even accepting we are a long way from an election, it still makes one pause in shock. It couldn't be, surely...

Second boy arrived yesterday, by the way. Home and well so all good!
Think Omnishambles budget redux.
(LibDems and Labour doing well in those too)
After all the relentless hyperbolic propaganda against Corbyn's very moderate Labour, it's pretty funny to see them surpass the Tories in popularity, though.
Penny Mordaunt,Andrea Leadsom and Nus Ghani.
Instead the government is trying to force us to Remain through exploiting the innate small c-conservatism of the British people, and ramping up Project Fear to the n-th degree; a strategy in which it will probably succeed.
But only temporarily. It is defying gravity, and it will have repercussions as any appeal to give an awful marriage one last try does. And the individual that did (in this case, Cameron) is never thanked for it.
He had his chance at History, and he bottled it.
Fundamentally though, were a general election really to be held tomorrow does anybody honestly think it would result in anything other than a thumping win for the Conservatives and catastrophe for Corbyn's Labour?
That said, Osborne is a disaster waiting to happen and this latest screw up with attacking the disabled is beyond belief really....
Lab need to ditch Corbyn and get someone credible pronto because 2020 is winnable (especially if Con are mad enough to give Boy George the leadership)
Keep the jokes coming!
It's obvious they won't go through.
I think we're now at the stage where no benefits can be cut at all - in cash terms. All they can do is freeze everything - which is largely what they are doing - and then let inflation erode their real value.
Right, must head off to bed. For tomorrow, I rise at dawn.
