General Discussion
Forgive me Indy Scot, but you seem to be both misquoting what I have expressed and tying yourself up in knots all at the same time - but for the record, my quote above of 17th April, 12:17 refers. Since then of course the evidence of what was "reported" has come to light elsewhere on this site, as you well know.
It would seem that at yesterday's 'end-of-term' meeting at Devon County Council, John Clatworthy was presented with a Jeremy Corbyn tee-shirt by a Labour member who had noticed his tendency to quote the Labour leader approvingly in some of his speeches. That John chose to put on the tee-shirt shows him as a good sport - and I hope that whatever the outcome of the election he will take the ...

If our PM carries on repeating that mantra during her campaign, she may not get elected in her own Maidenhead constituency, which voted (quite sensibly in my opinion) to Remain. I don't know how people voted in the referendum in your constituency Burneside, I just hope that - unlike the MP for Newton Abbot - the Tory candidate that will be seeking to represent you has at least got the ...
Then we will all be losers, Burneside - and you know it. You vote for a potentially economically disastrous and hard-right future if you want to. The better and infinitely less risky option is to do a deal. Toss a coin for the future of our country and our children? No thanks.
Is this a vote for 'Brenda from Bristol', DC24601?
