General Election called for June 8th

A bit of a search online suggests that Abbott has a History Degree whereas Corbyn boasts a grand total of 2 Grade E A levels.

On the other side, May has a 2nd Class Geography degree and Hammond has a first in Philosophy, Politics & Economics.

I can't be arsed to dig into the past of other Cabinet members



Corbyn doesn't seem to have ever held a job outside of a union/council or political pressure group prior to becoming an MP. The same goes for Abbott with the exception of a few years at Thames TV.

trust the only place to elect a UKIP counciller was Padiham and Burnley West anything to do with you charl

Pretty optomistic that most went to the Tories.

They had to get one somewhere remote I suppose HP
Will we se more Rubbish Party candidates in the forthcoming election I wonder? Great name for a Political party and pretty much for me sums up the state of politics in this country IMO

Diane Abbott strikes again.

Labour are a car crash. Screaming Lord Sutch could have won an election against this lot.

Burnley was where the BNP got the first of their councilors. so the 6 fingered people got form

Lancashire County council went tory never thought would see the day that happened

I think Burnley was always considered a safe labour seat if the Tories take/retain Burnley in the forthcoming election I reckon it would complete a landslide tory victory

Was Labour since 1931 til 2010 and Lib Dems won it but got it back 2015. Blackburn will be a test has been since 1945 with only 2 MP's in that time Barbara Castle and Jack Straw.

Have the Russians been up to their dirty tricks again? :-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-39705062 And May says the EU are trying to influence our election more? It's the Russians she should be more worried about!!

Why the russians want brexit
