Good riddance to Tim Farron. I don't usually mind the Lib Dems but he was not the person to take them forward.

Vince Cable incoming? I might actually consider voting LD next time if so, will see how it pans out and what positions they take in key issues!

Sounds very wrong to me. It seems like he may really be against homosexuality and cannot do a job where he is expected to be tolerant of it.

Yes it's not a very modern viewpoint, and a terrible one for a politician to have. Of course it looks like we are going to get 10 gay hating MP's propping up the government soon.
 
Interesting that being a religious leader in this country is generally seen as a negative thing, whereas America is completely the opposite.

And yet some people bang on that we are a Christian nation
 
The Express Online are running a poll, "Do you expect the UK to rejoin the EU in future?" Currently 70%+ believe we will, after nearly 100k votes.

Not sure what kind of readership the Express has, whether it's a pro or anti-EU crowd. And of course the poll doesn't mention any kind of timescale.

But I wouldn't bet against the UK rejoining within the next 10 years or so.
 
Also, has Farron just opened the gates for a lib/con coalition?
Dispose of May and create a coalition with a second EU referendum as the bargaining chip?

depending on the leader that could be interesting... certainly would be better than having the DUP make demands
 
I thought his position was pretty reasonable for someone who is religious, but people saw it as a thread to pull on

Vince Cable would be a good choice, although Murdoch wont like it (so maybe that makes it even better)

Definitely an interesting one - I can see other Lib Dems a little less resistant to a coalition.

LD would potentially provide a sane counterbalance to May's authoritarian tendencies.

Who knows what skullduggery is going on. You couldn't write this stuff.
