Newly promoted?
It’s more like Chelsea getting a new manager and losing to Palace, and then saying it’s encouraging they only lost by two goals.

Yes you are right they could not afford to lose, but they were going to, so the extent of the loss reflected the 'Boris bounce' and his wonderful message of optimism triumphing over reality. It gives them reason for encouragement as it shows that a significant number of the populace are being taken in by his BS.

I agree with Cary, Sir John is usually very bright..
I agree with Maz, his terminology not the best on this occasion I agree with Sir Dougie, a disaster for Labour

Surely, with a squeaky majority of one (does that include Elphicke?)
That on return in September, if the disaster of a no deal is to be averted, then Corbyn must acquiesce to Swinson's no confidence request.

It is an accurate representation of the Labour Party position. It was also intentionally humorous. There's no delusion here on my part - I think the Labour Party's position is a complete mess.

I think there is a lot to be disheartened about, not least only having a majority of one makes it really hard to claim anykind of mandate. But I think that the government pretty much expected to lose. Normally, you'd have expected to see them pull out all the stops, parachute a big name in and even have the PM 'kissing babies' to try to retain that majority. I don't think it says too much about the national picture - but it does say a lot about the position the conservative party is in, that they went with their candidate (one that had be deselcted due to criminal activity), in a byelection that they could lose, and only have the tinyist of majority in the House. That was rank arrogance and they paid a heavy price. Question is where do they go from here. They're more reliant now on the DUP than they were yesterday. And thats not a good thing for the Government. They might be able to take away some points, like it wasn't that big a loss. But the reality of that loss is significant. They're one seat away from losing a house majority at a point where they have a leader who's devisive, and hasn't faced a general election and are in a position where they cannot even rely on their own party to vote with the government. They're in trouble. |

My analogy, for what its worth, is that its like that, except the new manager is focusing more on how the opposition missed a penalty, and that blathering on about a single decision that changed 'the whole of the game', despite being 2-0 down at that point.

1. If a Tory deal is struck that is bad for jobs etc, they will vote against it. The same for a Tory no deal. Call for refendum and campaign for remain. and 2. If Labour wins a general election, then ignore the above totally. They will negotiate a replacement Labour deal with the EU and go with that so If there is a Labour government under Corbyn, we will leave the EU, and that is quite clear. They are still a Brexit party, and it is nonsense to suggest that they would campaign against their own negotiated deal if it was put to the people in a referendum.

James Cleverly moaning about back room deals isn't that what his party has with the dUP.

He offers nothing of substance, he is just a mouth piece for spin. He, like other prominent Tories, are now towing the new party line that the backstop is undemocratic, despite him having voted for May's deal every time. He has zero to commend him. He is an appalling politician. |

I seem to have whooshed a few people. Of course it's still fence sitting - I was being sarcastic.
