David Miliband should stop helping refugees and instead come back to lead a futile attempt against Brexit.

Ken Loach: Deselect 30 Labour MPs Who Attended Anti-Semitism Protest



https://order-order.com/2018/04/11/ken-loach-deselect-30-mps-attended-anti-semitism-protest/

Obviously this should happen, but doing so would be a logistical and public-relations nightmare. Best to just scalp a few to set an example, IMO.

This is an old post but, erm, wtf? Why should protesting anti-semitism be a deselection worthy offence?

The partition of Ireland, was a terrible mistake,
We paid the price in England for decades and we are still paying the price, more funding per head on Ulster then most towns and cities across England,
We are stuck with people that oppose Marriage equility, womans Right, and do not believe in our liberal values.
Most English people are sympathetic toward a united Ireland, it's Ulster-Scots that want to be part of our Country... 
But with demographic changes and Catholics becoming a majority it will happen...

If you pulled your head from your arse you'd find that massive majorities in Northern Ireland are in favour of abortion and LGBTQ+ rights. And while true the DUP are horrendous, you'll find plenty agreeing with them on the backbenches of the Conservative Party.

EDIT: Furthermore, I believe the only parties in the assembly still willing to block equal marriage are the DUP and TUV, which, erm, wouldn't be enough.

Wow such a charming man aren't ya... but that's ok, I learnt in atlas the more rude and disrespectful you are the more popular you are....

I'm aware according to the opinion polls gay marriage is widely popular in northern, but I'm also aware people keep voting for parties that oppose those rights ...

Well if we're being honest here it's just the one party, which, may I add, only got about 36% of the vote.

Boris is a vile creature and the fact he still has something of a career is very sad indeed.

Joan Ryan, Gavin Shuker, and Chris Leslie are like three of the most useless people in the Labour party.

Funny to see Labour moderates attacking McDonnell for backing the tax cuts.

You wanted Labour to be more electable, did you not? Then I don't see why you're complaining.

this is an absolute shambles from both may and the erg

How stupid is the DUP? Don't they realize that there is an obvious positive correlation between the hardness of Brexit and the likelihood of a united Ireland?

The DUP aren't nearly as smart as people think they are.
