I see her big reason for having a General Election: "there's too much dissent at Westminster".

Yes, love, it's called politics

^ Perhaps she's labouring under the misapprehension that she's in charge of a dictatorship? (or, perhaps that's how she would like it to be... )

I can't see the speaker issuing red and yellow cards at Westminster

He can send people off, as I'm sure Alex Salmond would boast

so the bookies have taken bets on Corbyn being PM after he promised extra bank holidays - I'd like to know hoe he'll pay for them (i.e. where is he going to find the money without having to screw the NHS over and such) or how he can fit them in - we have a good balance of bank holidays spread through the calendar year IMO

The British Communist Party have announced that they won't be contesting any seats but will support Labour instead.

You can draw your own conclusions from that.

I was expecting the Tories to bash the idea on the grounds of him being soft on bankers by giving them more time off

We have less bank holidays than the rest of Europe. Soon we'll have less Europeans than the rest of Europe, too

I dont see the scots wanting to have st georges day off

They might as well bung them all in December/January and shut the economy down for all of Christmas/New Year from Dec 25 - 4 January so we can celebrate it properly

If he was a Tory he'd be standing for the Conservatives and Not labour

I reckon we should all vote fore that Barbara woman who said 'Not another new!" on 5 live when she was told we were having General election - she'd be a great PM!!
