I’d love to have been a fly on the wall in her selection meeting. Imagine how pissed you’d be to have her selected over you. WTAF.

Maybe not in the Labour Party presentlyThis is what bothered me most about Corbyns time. The quality of MPs we got because they were selected for loyalty and not quality. And it’s basically a job for life.

Most of the country disagrees with you and your constant views based on some chip on shoulder bitterness
What made you so bitter and resentful?
What are you talking about? I mention about you have a closed mind and just repeat the mantras of the powerful and apparently the majority of the population disagree with me? I didn't realise you were so famous and popular that we'd polled the country on your thought processes.
Plus if we're talking about governance by popular opinion then China holds over 10% of the world's population and their method of governance is almost universally popular there. Putin has a massive popularity level as well. Meanwhile here we largely think the PM is a buffoon, albeit a charismatic one and in the US it's split pretty much down the middle. So I guess going by what is popular we ought to ditch our systems and follow ones more akin to theirs. Do you not agree? Or do you think the popular opinion is flawed due to the inherent biases and controls of the system itself?
I'm not bitter or resentful, just exasperated and frustrated that so many people are taken in by the guff they get fed on all sides of the political spectrum.

Not registered, but didn't realise the Spectator had taken up scriptwriting for stand-up.Will Boris Johnson be one of the great prime ministers?
Boris Johnson may have been unable to work his magic on the burghers of Chesham as he did on fellow G7 leaders last weekend at Carbis Bay. But as he approaches his second anniversary in power next month, it is worth asking whether he is on track to become one of the landmark prime ministerswww.spectator.co.uk
That article might have a minuscule amount of credibility if it didn’t dismiss the PM who delivered the longest period of sustained growth in U.K. history as a landmark PM.Will Boris Johnson be one of the great prime ministers?

Neil Coyle is the Sunderland of Labour MP’s - thinks he has a divine right to be considered a ‘top-tier’ MP when in reality he’s a small-time prick living in the past.I'd like more people like Neil Coyle

I Googled. His wikipedia entry is entertaining!Genuinely don’t even know who he is.

I’d never have the option due to the nature of my work but I wouldn’t begrudge others the possibility. My wife in her work could definitely do a 4 day week.This is an interesting story.
Wonder how predictable who will think its a good idea and who will think its outrageous will beStudy in Iceland Shows 4-Day Workweek Trial is 'Overwhelming Success'
"The Icelandic shorter working week journey tells us that not only is it possible to work less in modern times, but that progressive change is possible too," said Alda researcher Gudmundur D. Haraldsson.www.insideedition.com

As Schmmeee indicates, its unlikely these 3 articles from a Boris Johnson fanzine are providing a neutral viewpoint
Only did the first one, London is back ahead by <€1bn after being ahead in Dec by >€12bn.
Wasn’t my point though, as the articles in the Guardian are as bad the other way.
The first story doesn’t make up for the lost revenue for the city. No Brexit win.As Schmmeee indicates, its unlikely these 3 articles from a Boris Johnson fanzine are providing a neutral viewpoint
No your point was that articles on either side are usually biased which I agree the Telegraph and Guardian routinely prove.
Both are probably as bad as the other, which was really the point of my post - that the relentless, daily posting of the guardian and twitter feeds here have an opposite number that we can all choose to dance around, not that I can be bothered quite frankly.
Christ, when you put it that way it's a joke isn't it?
