Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

The whole Labour investigation about vote rigging stinks. The police had to drop their case as 'critical evidence' was withdrawn. Now Labour are refusing to release their report and are saying that no rules broken as they existed at the time. I spy a lucky loophole. The opinion seems to be that those involved are not innocent and the case is 'unproven'.

Miliband has come out if it with substantial egg on his face and worse. He has managed to lose £1m of union money and the opinion polls show the public didn't care about the union funding. So he has managed to upset his backers with no political gain.

Has the Labour leader caved in over Falkirk?

It certainly looks like it. On Friday it was announced that key evidence in the Falkirk case had been withdrawn and those from Unite who had been suspended from the party have had their membership restored. It is suggested by MPs that Unite had threatened to boycott the Labour conference this month over the row, and that the party leadership backed down. One MP said: “A deal was done. It is not very edifying, but there you are. It had to happen as we’re not that far from the general election.”

The unravelling relationship with the trade unions is potentially very embarrassing. Some Labour MPs are warning that the vast majority of trade union members have no interest in accepting Mr Miliband’s invitation to sign up as individual party members. It could leave Labour facing potential bankruptcy without big union donations.

The founder of the Ukip has launched his own Eurosceptic party for those who see his old organisation as "racist".

Professor Alan Sked, 66, launched the centre-left New Deal to challenge Labour in 2015 and provide an alternative to what he sees as an "anti-immigrant" and "anti-intellectual" UK Independence Party.

Sked will advocate a withdrawal from the EU, renationalisation of the railways and an end to the coalition’s so-called bedroom tax.

He said: "I think the majority of the people in this country want out of the EU," reports the Sunday Times.

"They would like a party devoted to this cause, but couldn’t vote for one that was extremely right wing. They will now be given a serious alternative to the major parties and to UKIP."

Just another UKIP butter.

Labour will now be trounced , BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


Nightmare,

Any honourable PM or decent man in the same position as Cameron would have resign after his defeat in the HP.

It demonstrates his own ability to manage his own party, incapability to represent the UK on the international scene.

Putin was yawning when Wacky Dave spoke.

Yes, he should resign.


============

I think as has been said it is time for Labour and "unions" to review some of their relationships.

That also applies to the corrupt practices which torie leadership get involved in.

Like letting Murdoch in through the back door.

Or allowing, ministers to sign on fellow travelers on their expense accounts for oversea trips.

The next election going to be dirty.

Split ukip's vote...cute.

Who will resign first Dave or Ed. Made my decision.

Dave after the next election.

IDS would suit the New Tory Party after the right wingers split to UKIP.


8-)

Was the Duke Drunk or was he trying to nick a bits and pieces?

''Dave after the next election''. Why would he resign when he wins it ?

Your the one who sound's drunk

Yes Fred, as we all know it is normal practice to resign when you win. As in the case of............. Oops, I can't think of an example,

"Gideon Osborne favourite to replace Cameron".. They must be desperate.

Labour has the leadership problem. Not only do they have a useless leader, they have nobody any better. The only one better was beaten in their leader election by the union block vote. Now wasn't that appropriate and ironic.

Will be a rough week for Labour as usual during the TU conference. Tend to get polls dropping for a week. Nothing to worry about as the right wing press try to savage labour over the week.

Hays,,

Calm down, dear boy.

Calm down, dear boy.

You are demonstrating your fears.

What are the odds being offered on Wavey Davey the U-Turn.

(I did write turn.)

That particular poll is showing Conservatives up 1 point an Labour down 1 point compared to the previous one. The trend of all the polls is towards the Conservatives. It is looking like a clear majority coming their way.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh look at this Fred..........
