Well, looks like the moment has finally come for TM to announce her departure...

 

She will resign on Friday 7th June (after Trump's visit, obviously). Dread to think who is next.

 

Is this an accurate take?

 

Looks like it's been deleted.

 

Austerity to blame for 130,000 ‘preventable’ UK deaths – report

 

Quite interested to see how these polls change when data comes out from post conservative manifesto launch. Dementia tax, lack of costing and social care policy seem to be hugely unpopular so I'm hoping shifts move closer to Labour. Seems a strong presence from under 25s could swing this

 

Just heard the BBC news on the radio and they gave a report about Jeremy Hunt calling Corbyn "pathetic and predictable" for questioning the Iran oil tanker attack. Love our balanced and impartial press.

 

Yo everything fucking sucks

 

What a time to be alive!

 

I just hope we can come together to celebrate the fact that Johnson has finally got what he wanted.

 

Oh yes indeed, finally something to celebrate. Long may it last...

 

So who is John McDonnell?

 

The Shadow Chancellor

 

And basically Jeremy Corbyn’s right hand man

 

Thank you. I had never heard his name before, wasn't sure if he was like a rival MP for Labor leadership or something like that.

 

He's also like The Idea Man for Corbynism in general, I think you could say. He's my fav

 

McDonell has also been pretty upfront about calling himself a Marxist

And someone correct me if I’m wrong but I remember reading once that Corbyn and McDonnell are two people within a group of Labour MPs who basically agree to cycle each party election in trying to gain leadership. So it was pure chance that Corbyn was the nominee in 2015 instead of McDonnell or Abbott or whoever

 

So... General Election 2019! Predictions?

 

Unprecedented times.
