The Labour party are a bit like a non league football team thats been beaten 2-0 by Man Utd in the cup. Happy it wasn't 5 so will do a lap of honour.

May offered the Tory 'sheep' nothing. Austerity for the many, a further running down of public services and a tired soundbite. I know you guys are forelock-tugging masochists, but even so.

the 'strong and stable' and 'fighting our corner rhetoric', must have worried as many as it reassured. A degree of imagination and flexibility will be needed as we seek an agreement with negotiation partners.

And while Labour didn't win, we at least got a glimpse of something better and more hopeful, which is rare and precious, in a world where 'snowflakes' (very original btw, clearly nothing ovine about you) are gleefully told to suck up hardships.

My wife is a red Mancunian, but having lived there for the best part of 10 years in the 90s and noughties, I think the simile can be extended to some aspects of Manchester United.

Like the Tories, they rely on their huge wealth to beat their opponents, they have an over developed sense of entitlement, and recently have mostly disappointed their fans.

Mind you, anybody but Chelsea.

No surprise the Tories are willing to risk peace in NI. But power at any costs is a Tory mantra. Still I doubt they will be attacking Corbin for speaking with Sinn Fein after having an agreement with the DUP who are still talking to terrorists. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/ ... 94023.html http://www.irishnews.com/news/political ... r-1043974/

True but then she had to be realistic as she was always likely to win. Corbyn could go out and promise the world safe in the knowledge he wasn't really going to have to produce. He played fantasy politics and just produce a manifesto that sounded great and plenty got sucked into that, fortunately enough saw that it sounded too good to be true and wasn't realistic. The young vote clearly not experienced enough to know how unrealistic he was got tempted by an old man offering them free stuff.....guys get arrested for that sort of stuff

Nearly as funny as the Labour Party losing 3 elections on the run.

I see it more as a team that thinks they can beat anyone, find some opposition at the last minute and want to show how good they are, get held to a draw by a team of "nothings" and go off to lick their wounds and probably change their manager before the new season.

Remember, Labour gave the Tories 20 points start and still held them to a draw

Mrs May has done more damage to the UK in just a few months than any party in history.

She should resign NOW.

Why should she resign?

Labour LOST, get over it.
