Labour's Candidate In Stoke On Trent

[lindapalmara]

Labour seems to have chosen a fervent anti Brexitier in the. Country's most Eurosceptic area. Called Brexit a " massive pile of sh??"

All well and good but my posts had nothing to do with any of that.
You were sceptical has to which way Snell voted, I merely posted evidence that he voted remain.

And also two faced.

If you think that May was a remainer then think again. As a senior cabinet member she had no choice but to support her boss. I bet she danced a jig when the referendum result was announced and this is why she is pursuing Brexit with such vigour.

I was sceptic that he was a fervent remainer. The tweet didn't make much sense so didn't prove anything. He voted Remain but supports invoking Article 50, so to paint him as a 'fervent' remainer and therefore not suitable to stand for that reason alone is wrong.

Obviously what Snell said about Corbyn when he was supporting Smith, and then seeking his help in his campaign is proof of hypocrisy. But show me an MP who has never been guilty of that.

Lots of 'her Bosses' colleagues came out for Leave. The Cabinet and Conservative Party had a free vote, and May was in the Remain camp. It is a bit far fetched to pretend she was a Leaver all along and was just slavishly following Cameron.

/// The outgoing MP, Tristran Hunt was a fervant Remainer, and still managed to win the seat in 2015, with the same electorate. ///

That was before the referendum took place.

Gromit

/// If Nuttall wins, the constituency will belong to the smallest Party in Parliament, and with absolutely no influence on anything. ///

Influence enough to get us a referendum.

Maybe Labour actually does have a death wish.

Gromit: // Soft Brexit, Hard Brexit, massive pile of s***. Sloppy Brexit, messy Brexit, quit, quit, quit.

To be honest, I do not know what it means. //

hey doesn't anyone on here watch "The Big Bang Theory"?

[playersdigger]

Labour doesnt know what its doing recently,or its leader doesnt to be more correct. I dont think there is much chance of Labour winning the 2020 general election.

[lindapalmara]

No I don't think Labour has a hope in hells chance of winning the next election. UKIP may be a minor party but it can catch lots of disillusioned Labour voters especially in the north.

[New Judge]

And especially if enough Labour MPs employ tactics designed to frustrate A50.

[Gromit]

MPs should vote according to how their constituents voted in the Referendum. They should not vote against their constituents wishes because Jeremy Corbyn (or Theresa May) tells them to.
