To be fair to Jeremy, he asked a senior member of his cabinet to crunch the numbers and see where he really stood.

Diane A duly stepped forward; did a bit of mental arithmetic; and gave her boss the nod.

Conservative logic: Blast Corbyn for IRA links; make deal with DUP.

You couldn't make it up!

Speaking to the Guardian, former education secretary Nicky Morgan said it was right for the prime minister to stay on and seek to form a government. But she said Mrs May could not fight another election and should take responsibility for the problems with the Conservatives’ campaign.

“I’m reeling. I think we’re all reeling. I think there’s real fury against the campaign and the buck stops at the top," she said.

Can't say I disagree tbh.

There is little chance that a cobbled together govt is lasting more than a few months, and there is sod all chance of it achieving anything of substance.
The only practical solution is for the tories to find another leader, build a proper manifesto and have another election in three months or so.

We cannot continue to have indecisive patched up govt. I would rather have had a labour victory than this. I still think that May was right to call the election and right on the brexit strategy, but the complete mess of this campaign is a true horror show.

There are 2,000,000 at university right now. That's a lot of votes.
And of course if you have kids, or even grandkids, soon to be starting you may believe voting Labour is like giving them £40/50k.

Will come in handy for all those media and travel and tourism degrees.

So basically the tories have got to give lots of shiny new hospitals and roads to a bunch of homophobic anti abortionists to stay in power.....but of course it's for the good of the country:rotfl:
