True that, roger.
I listen to radio 2 most days at work and every day without fail Jeremy Vine's show starts at 12.00 with a negative story about Corbyn which he then invites calls about.

Maybe they have a 1/2 hour on the One show for the opposition too!
Unlikely.

I missed that bit on Dumbo btw, just as well though, I'd have had to explain it to the kids.

Theresa May isn't very good at these sort of interviews, she comes across as a bit wooden and ill at ease. Not that she should be overly criticised for that failing really, it's not her job to be good at chat show appearances. I suspect her strengths are best suited behind closed doors in the cabinet office actually doing some real work. We don't need another smarmy two-faced showman like Blair.

I turned on Sky News and Kay Burley was on.
She was talking to a woman and a man on separate giant screens.
The gist of it was a discussion about man chores and woman chores about the house, probably following on from the controversial revelation that the Prime Minister's husband takes out the bins.
Anyway Kay Burley came up with a statistic that more women than men live alone in Britain.
Then she accusingly challenged the male interviewee to explain that.
I expected people in white coats to come on the set and escort her Kay Burley away..
Why is she on our screens?

Got to disagree, one of my mates this morning has voted Labour all his life,very active in the unions and a strong character, is voting for May after abstaining last twice.He campaigns and votes Labour for council elections but is in despair over Corbyn and just told his Labour candidate accordingly. I am of a similar mind,having voted Labour twice in the local elections (good candidate that I know and respect),but we will find out next month.

I did not see the show, but  she seems to be a decent woman, but to run the country?

I cannot support a woman as prime minister who is a confirmed christian and attends church each week.  How can anyone be intelligent and believe in that nonsense.  She is also a fashion fanatic who said that her luxury item to take on a desert island was a lifetime subscription to Vogue, the fashion magazine Cry  I would not mind about this if she looked fantastic, but she doesn't look better than other women her age.  It is a shame as she has a good slim figure.  I also don't like the fact that she only got a second class degree in geography.

She could also turn out to be the best Prime Minister we have had for a long time because she has values that turn away from the deceit of Blair and Cameron, for which she has indicated contempt. I am happy to give her that opportunity rather than pour  malice and bile on her for no apparent reason.

I reckon Theresa May's grand plan is not just to win a landslide victory on June 8th, but also to royally **** the opposition for the next twenty years. If Corbyn refuses to stand aside following defeat as predicted, the Labour Party will inevitably cleave in two - splitting their vote and condemning them to decades in the political wilderness.

Report thegiggilo • May 13, 2017 2:03 AM BST
Dan grew up in Nottingham and went to the Rushcliffe Comprehensive School. He graduated from Aberystwyth University with a degree in International Politics and Strategic Studies before attending the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. From Sandhurst he was commissioned into The Parachute Regiment and subsequently deployed to Kosovo, Northern Ireland, briefly to Sierra Leone, and on numerous occasions to Iraq and Afghanistan. During his service his postings included: Platoon Commander with 1 Para, Aide de Camp to General Sir Mike Jackson, Adjutant of 3 Para, and on promotion to Major he worked as a staff planner in the Permanent Joint Headquarters (Northwood) and then at the Army’s Headquarters (Salisbury). He also served as a Company Commander in the Special Forces Support Group.
In January 2011 he became the first person since World War 2 to resign his commission in order to contest a parliamentary by-election. He was elected on 3 March 2011, increasing the majority despite the reduced turn out that comes from a by-election. He was subsequently awarded the MBE for his service in the Army, which made him the first serving MP to be decorated for military service in many years.
On entering Parliament, Dan initially sat as a member of the Business, Innovation and Skills Select Committee. In October 2011 he was made a shadow minister for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport and in October 2013 he was appointed as a shadow minister for Justice. Dan was re-elected, again with an increased majority in May 2015 and now serves as a shadow minister for Foreign Affairs and as the Labour party’s lead for the 100th anniversary commemoration of World War 1.
Outside of his shadow ministerial brief, Dan takes an interest in a broad range of issues in Parliament, including: Defence, Security, International Development, Child poverty, Education and skills, Cancer, Care for the elderly and vulnerable, Volunteering, Fuel poverty, Culture, Heritage, Sport and the Countryside. Dan is also the lead MP for the Speakers’ Parliamentary placement scheme.
In Barnsley, Dan is a very active constituency MP and has worked hard to develop the profile of Barnsley. This has included working with businesses and stakeholders to support and develop the Barnsley economy – creating jobs for Barnsley people. Dan also campaigns to raise aspiration amongst young people, and to support skills and adult literacy programmes. Though not originally from Barnsley, Dan is passionate about the town and the people who live there. Shortly after being elected as the MP for Barnsley Central he launched the “Proud of Barnsley” campaign. He is a vice-president of Kexborough Cricket Club, an honorary patron of the Barnsley Youth Choir and a member of the Barnsley Harriers.
In his very limited spare time, the Yorkshire MP enjoys reading, running, hill walking, cycling and supporting Barnsley FC – all of which can be hard work at times! In 2013, 2014 and 2015 he ran the London marathon to raise money for Cancer Research UK. He has also previously led mountaineering expeditions in the Himalayas.
He lives in Barnsley with his wife and three children and their dog, Pip – a mostly friendly Jack Russell Patterdale terrier cross..
