Congratulations. Exactly the same attitude as Remainers took to Brexiteers and then you act surprised when the people you look down on bite back. When their Leave vote wasn't respected they followed it up with a 2nd vote to re-emphasis their wishes. So for your first post well done on it being...

That man is just never going to disappear.

doubtful. Little chance of getting current manifesto through a PR-elected Parliament. Even when they were getting hammered by Thatcher & co they didn't fancy PR. Still a bad taste for many from the Lib Dem/Tory coalition and one thing PR tends to produce is coalition govts.

Don't think either side would want a referendum before the Brexit process is clearer. SNP have same level of support as at the last referendum when they said it was a once in a generational thing.

Not sure it's so simple for Labour just to purge so-called extreme elements. Momentum is very well organised and entrenched within the Labour machinery. Through this they have a larger % of PLP than they did before.

so you're judging the whole process as a purely economic one?

Not sure this is true. Define true benefit? We will probably have 3 years of a Brexit Britain (after this 2 year leave period) before the next election to gauge its effects. One nation politics will define the next GE as much as Brexit outcomes.

Answer will remain the same. Is there a mandate for Indyref2 when less than 50% voted for SNP who ran mainly on this issue? Sturgeon admitted that not all SNP voters would necessarily support independence but were EU remainers. Issue would be far more difficult in that would remain-EU sentiment...

For those suggesting yesterday is the beginning of Scottish independence worth noting the SNP share of the vote was still the same % as that voted to leave in the 2014 referendum - 45%.

Reshuffle inevitable as there will need to Cabinet/ministerial representation for these "new" Northern seats. Scottish independence isn't black and white. An assumption that Scotland can remain in EU is up for debate. Also the practicalities of how free trade and movement could happen in...

by definition will it have to be a compromise candidate?

This is where the disconnect between members and voters has been highlighted. Does Corbyn stay around to try and ensure his successor will follow his path? How damaging will the fight for the future direction of the Labour Party be?

Is this Labour's version of the tory's scare stories about Corbynite policies?

Chalk that one up to farage

Brexit party seems to have saved Ian lavery.

Alan Johnson laying into lansmann and Corbyn

Workington is a slaughter, from +4000 to - 4000

The guy from Stoke not holding back on why his 4000 majority looks to have been overturned.

Don't they have to work out where they are going rather than put in another Blair or do they analyse the result and see whether the Labour domestic agenda might be worth following?
