This is the best outcome by miles. No hard brexit. (The city now predicts soft Brexit or even no Brexit!!!) No more crazy ideas by either side. Compromise. Tories given a good slap in the face for this stupid election.

This is the first election day in a long time with a good result!

Something tells me that you haven't actually read the Labour Party manifesto Jamie. Just a hunch.

What a pathetic post, 7461Mary. Not even a bit funny, just insulting and more than a bit moronic.

Did you not see HelenaDove's post above? She's not the only poster with an older partner and who the fuck are YOU to judge?

PortiaCastis · 09/06/2017 20:52

Mary My Mum's been married three times and that is also none of your business

Vango · 09/06/2017 20:54

I've reported Mary's post. Nasty, with racist undertones. Hardly a surprise, mind.

everthibkyouvebeenconned · 09/06/2017 21:00

How lovely Mary. So shall we pick at every politicians relationships? Trump is very very different he was outed as a mysogonist predator. Do I pass the test with only 2 husbands..would it be better if I only had one?

Please tell me the age rules so I meet your obviously high and superior values

TheElementsSong · 09/06/2017 21:33

Wow, we're really into barrel-scraping territory, aren't we!

He's like Trump, and let's pick over his personal history.

Really covering selves in glory here.

Vango · 09/06/2017 21:37

I wish MNHQ would hurry up and remove it. The threads, on the whole, have been remarkably deletion free but that particular post has turned my stomach!

FinallyThroughTheRoof · 09/06/2017 21:49

Mary/Janet is obv feeling a tad bitter after her predictions of a huge majority were wrong.

aliceinwanderland · 09/06/2017 21:57

I understand Corbyn's two previous marriages failed because he was too engaged in politics and didn't make enough time for his wives. He's on very good terms with his exes though.

PumpkinPiloter · 09/06/2017 21:57

"He reminds me of Trump as well. He makes lots of promises that 'other people' are going to pay for. He has dodgy connections. Anti-semitic v anti-muslim. No experience of running government. Top heavy on protesting about everything. Anti-NATO. Friendly with Russia. He has that shouty style of campaigning. Surrounds himself with people of questionable ability. Wants to rip the 'establishment down'....

I think we have dodged a bullet there."

HA HA HA good one, almost had me there. Having a bad day are we?Don't worry you may just find its all for the good of the country in the end.

PortiaCastis · 09/06/2017 21:58

Yep probably but I'm happy that Labour have taken Kensington and Chelsea by 20 votes

PumpkinPiloter · 09/06/2017 22:00

Don't worry 7461Mary18 I can see you are trying to get a rise but we are more sensible than that.

Trump and Corbyn.....very good.

HappyFlappy · 09/06/2017 23:26

Trump and Corbyn.....very good.

They're like twins, separated at birth. The likeness is uncanny.

BartholinsSister · 09/06/2017 23:33

Didn't he slap one of Emily Thornberry's breasts today too?

Ravenblack · 09/06/2017 23:40

Wow what horrible bigoted remarks about people with large age gaps. What is so ewwwwwwwwwww about it? Hmm

Not sure why it even needed to be mentioned? Nasty. Hmm

Ravenblack · 09/06/2017 23:41

And although I am not a huge Corbyn fan, (he is ok though!) to say he is like Trump is just bullshit.

PortiaCastis · 10/06/2017 00:03

Why is that bigoted post still there?

Ravenblack · 10/06/2017 00:06

Maybe not enough people reported it? Or maybe MNHQ didn't consider it bad enough??? Confused

Scandelicious · 10/06/2017 01:06

I don't care about large age gaps - each to their own but it is a bit stereotypical, you know, older man, third marriage, 20 years difference and also very lTrumpian

The honest, straight talker = Trumpian

People not really caring about his anti Semitic mates and dodgy actions = people not really caring about trump's islamophobia

Promising those who feel left behind the world but questionable delivery = trump and Jc

Never having actually governed anything = trump and Jc

Hated by their own parties' mps/congress reps (but then tolerated if actually popular) = trump and Jc

Blaming the mainstream media for being against them (sound familiar)

JC is the mirror image of trump on the other side of the line

Scandelicious · 10/06/2017 01:10

Bit of a personality cult too as this thread is showing.

seoulsurvivor · 10/06/2017 01:44

I mean, once you're over a certain age, I don't think a big age gap is such a huge deal. Over 40, we all have our lumps and bumps, so it's not like he's going after her cos she's a bit of arm candy or something. (Not that I'm saying over 40 we're all ugly - you get what I mean, I hope.)

I just think it's hilarious that he divorced his second wife over sending their kid to a grammar school. How lefty can you get?!

LottieandMia · 10/06/2017 04:51

I wonder what Xenia thinks after her repeated assertions of 'Tally-ho, jolly good - May is going to get a majority on June 8th' she had more confidence than May herself Hmm

roundaboutthetown · 10/06/2017 05:41

Scandelicious - I haven't noticed Corbyn tweeting nonsense in the early hours of the morning, or indeed being gratuitously offensive. As for the mainstream media thing, both Trump and Corbyn have a point on that one... And unlike Trump, Corbyn has been in politics for years. And as for dodgy actions, you need to be careful on that, as all politicians have blood on their hands on that one. Theresa May happily holds hands with, talks to (openly and secretly), and sells weapons to all sorts.
