Could Labour be obliterated beyond recovery?

It will be interesting to see how Queen Nicola will perform?

Very smart move from the Tories. Calling an election when its rivals are at an all time low. Guarantees them another 5 years to mess up/grow (delete as appropriate) our economy after brexit.

Weeks and weeks of election bollox on the TV, oh the joy.
Gaz Ellis for PM.

Yes, very smart, although, a complete U turn from the days of the coalition when they passed an act of parliament to prevent such actions and instead tried to ensure fixed five year terms.

Labour will be obliterated and the Tories will likely have a 100+ majority, creating open season on the poor and anyone unfortunate enough to be claiming benefits.

What will become more interesting is the actions of Scotland and N.ireland as the have one last go at trying to remain as part of the EU.

Oh really

How did the SNP, who want an independent nation, get 56 MP's in Parliament ?

Answer: at the last General Election

What is the aim of the SNP ?

Answer: To create an independent Scotland

Clearly, there is no connection

If they are then we'll either see the back of Corbyn or the birth of the Momentum Party. It will take a serious mullering to shift him though. He's f*****g delusional.

As for Sturgeon, she's just another windbag, self serving politician. The fact she dresses it up as being the heroic representative of a repressed minority doesn't alter the fact that she's full of $h!t.

You always have to insult.

If the Conservatives get the majority expected and stickleback gets a bloody nose then she'll be out. The majority of Scots don't want to split the Union.

It was amusing to hear her say the country is coming together but Westminster isn't, what a crock.

Corbyn is deluding himself by agreeing to this election, the best thing he could have done is to have urged Labour M.P.'s to vote against the election plan.
