If it's the least impactful, but has the worst optics, then... err... why do it?

Hey, if you're 30 points behind in the polls for an extended period....what have you got to lose? Genuine question.

And yes, I'd be miffed if he did return and scrapped all of last Friday's budget.

Was only about a week ago, you were saying it's the first proper conservative govt in 30 years. Stick it out a bit fella, you're getting what you want.

Interesting to see that Racebaiter General, David Lammy, wouldn't condemn Huq's words yesterday. Of course if a Tory had said something similar, he'd be frothing at the gills.

I do like the sound of white people telling people of colour how to behave.....

That opinion poll which gave Labour a 13-point lead was plainly an outlier!

One true blue (formerly of this parish ) isn't buying it. That "lols" sounds a bit like someone we know doesn't it?

Thankfully the nasty little troll seems to have been banned from The Football Forum sites as well

Either that or flounced because of the ridicule he was held in from fans of almost every club
