'Wings Over TalkHearts' Politics Thread

[Picards Forehead]

Sorry your chum doesn't keep up to date with pretty large political stories and isn't able to read the BBC website properly.

Also sorry I wasn't very engaging yesterday on here - I was at work then out to dinner with my mother in law.

A quick googles search throws up BBC coverage of it

The election Theresa May is seeking for 8 June would have a useful side-effect for her - by helping the Conservative Party in its attempts to put the lingering embarrassment of the 2015 general election expenses affair behind it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39635081

Looks like a massive BBC cover up to me

Don't remember much gum bumping when the BBC was heavily pro Labour. Seems the whingers are just as biased as the BBC are

BBC breaking the news immediately, after never reporting on it before.

Well spotted.

It cant have been. Lawson would have been treating us to even more essays than he already does.

I think some think that because their news sources report on stories that suit their agenda daily - that those impartial news sources that simply report on the news, and do not bash on about things for political advantage, are somehow biased against them.

Scottish Parliament vote tonight on NHS pay cap. Interesting to see the outcome.

E: come to think of it, did anything ever happen in Scot parl regarding the Fox Hunting 'ban' up here? Sure they said they were going to try and bring it in to line with England and Wales.

BREAKING: Electoral Commission Say £250,000 Green-LibDem Bung is Matter For Police.

Mods can remove my comment about the Greens being only party not to commit election Fraud

The review was published at the end of last year, from what I can find. Any changes to be done some time during this year.

WTF?

[PHOODLE-OUt]

WTF?    

Lucas was interviewed by Andrew Neil earlier, it was about that bung they were offered to stand down in Richmond. She says she can't remember who offered it and said they didnt accept it. They did stand down though

[Bill Cosby]

I say just let the greens off with it, before they cry.

[PHOODLE-OUt]

Greens only fielding 3 candidates

Saying they want to target seats like Lucas did would be great if the Greens didn't field 571/650 seats, up from 300 odd the previous election

[Mr A]

I wonder what the SNP offered them to do this.

You do know that they're separate parties?
