    That Portillo Moment

    Any suggestions?

    The 7 living ones all appear to be in the age range of this game.
  3. Haven`t directly asked but a fair few of said things like I can`t stand the English and such like.Could just be banter though.

  6. Oh I wasn`t saying you didn`t like us just that a fair few Scots I have met don`t.
  7. That is thanks to Blair.He encouraged as many vacuous sheep to join the party and stifled the rise of any such characters.
  8. Not that I recall.You could well be right though.
  9. I mean I cant see the SNP losing much support in the General Election and if the mandate is as strong as they had last time it would be politically very difficult to deny a second vote.I thought Scotland would leave last time to be honest.I have met very few Scots who like the English.
  10. I reckon you will get independence soon YW.
  11. Does he really though?He never wanted us to join the EEC in the 70`s voted against Maastricht and was making highly Eurosceptic statements until he got elected in 2015.Also he is softening his tone on a range of issues.In fairness to him though no one can be leader of a party and stay completely rooted to their principles.Just isn`t how things work.
  12. That is the issue from an English standpoint it is either May Corbyn or Farron.May is the only one who comes across as a credible leader on the world stage.Corbyn and Farron would get eaten alive by the EU Trump Putin and the rest of the world.
  13. Tony Benn`s supporters where the same.The primary objective was always cementing control at the heart of the Labour movement.Corbyns backers are your die hard labour voters who hated new labour.They either don` realise or don`t care that although they love Corbyn and think he is superman or Gandhi that only 14% of the population want him to be prime minister.Most people I know even on the left think he is a dick.
  14. Well the BBC put her on their 100 women of the year list and she got an article in November so I would say BBC QO is highly likely. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-37861457

    If he does become Prime Minister on the 9th June it wouldn`t last long I don`t think.

    In perspective that would be the biggest loss for Labour in John Morris Dennis Skinner Roy Hattersley`s and Arthur Scargill`s lifetime.

    That Portillo Moment

    Ah yes the longest suicide note in history.I have heard speculation that if some polls are correct it could be Labour`s worst GE result since 1931.

    That Portillo Moment

    Portillo was unseated by a 14.5 % swing so not impossible if the rumors of a landslide are indeed how the results turn out.I do wonder if Labour now just want a Tory landslide to ensure Corbyn doesn`t try to stay on.If he loses by a small margin it would be harder to get rid of him.

    That Portillo Moment

    If you add the Tory and UKIP vote at last election together it only falls short of turning over Watson`s majority by a few hundred.Would only take a few hundred previous labour voters to switch to Tory or Lib dem for him to be in quite serious danger if UKIP voters gravitate overwhelmingly to the Tories.

    That Portillo Moment

    Ooh hadn`t thought of Tom Watson.That truly would be the Portillo moment of 2017.The winner of the most embarrassing loss will have to be Labour as many senior Tories such as Theresa May Philip Hammond Boris Johnson Andrea Leadsom Liam Fox David Davis Liz Truss Greg Clark Sajid Javid Priti Patel Michael Gove are in very safe seats.The only big Tory names in threat are David Mundell and Amber Rudd.Rudd should be ok though as she has grown her majority since taking the seat in 2010 by over 4000 votes.Plus the collapse of UKIP and problems with the Labour party should make it easier for her to win.Not so sure about Mundell keeping his seat though.
