Oh my aching sides. And it was ALL going so well with the BBC relentlessly focusing on UKIP conflicts when suddenly, the “British Obama” Chuka Umunna decides he is stepping down from the Labour leadership race, having announced he was entering on Tuesday! BBC in tears…..
BBC AGONY DEEPENS

Oh dear oh dear, the beboids must be soooo sad, oh well there’s always Mr Lammy.
Well they’ve been gearing up to call any one criticising labour ‘RACIST’ so Lammy would at least save them from thinking up another strategy.
I wanted Chuka to get it just so that when he led Labour to defeat in 2020, you would hear the usual suspects attributing the defeat to “racism”.
Oh YES PLEASE!
Would this be the one and only Lammy who came up with the spiffing idea of easing the angst of the nation’s rail users by…wait for it….introducing double decker trains ( as in continental Europe)….
Can anyone envisage a problem with this?
The Severn Tunnel ?
A lot of Welsh Lads will be sporting ‘haircuts ‘ when the come home from the rugby tour to ‘Twickers’
We have tried double deck trains in the UK. They were really 1.5 deckers to fit the loading gauge in the U.K. which is somewhat smaller than “sur le continent” as I believe JY used to say.
Check out Class 4DD on Wikipedia.
Any poster on here ever travel on them – they lasted quite a while?
Just for Mr Gresley’s. Offspring, here is the last time double deck trains were tried in the UK. Some of you might just see the problem with these things when being built for the very restricted UK LOADING gauge.

I’ve never seen one of those, and I used to play on Toton Sidings as a child where old passenger carriages were parked up before scrapping.
Thanks for the link!
Well…you live and learn, unless you’re a BBC reporter.
I cannot imagine that the genius that is Lammy would have considered a 1.5 decker train, mind you.
David ‘Mastermind’ Lammy?
Shame. The idea of replacing one Metropolitan millionaire in a smart suit with another such appealed hugely. Guaranteed failure for Labour. Still, I’m sure they’ll come up with another adequately useless replacement for Miliband Minor
What like Blair?
hmmm I wonder what skeleton was about to come out of his closet…..obviously there is something he didn’t want to be revealed
My thought exactly -and who in Labour threatened to drag it out
From the rumours circulating online, it was not a skeleton, but Chuka himself.
If that is what has stopped him, in 2015, it is a sad indictment to labour and shows very little of the “progressivism” of which they boast.
Maybe he realised that his ‘trash’ comment was going to keep being brought up.
OMG! The next thing, following his bravura performance on QT last night, will be Tristram deciding not to enter the fray after all, and then who are they going to vote for?
It’s obvious that nice Mr. McLusky is getting more and more tetchy – if only he could persuade Nicola to change sides, eh?
Amazing if he really didnt understand the increased scrutiny there would be.Hmmmm
Never mind,Andy Burnham has been endorsed by Galloway and Livingstone so it’s sure to be him…….
something definitely is about to be revealed in the Sunday papers – one of them no doubt has a massive exclusive and there is a fairly obvious thing it could be or could be related to tax dodging and offshore accounts maybe….I look forward to finding out!
Perhaps David Vance might like to provide evidence for his assertions since the BBC weren’t particularly concentrating ,anymore than anyone else on UKIP.
I realise the power of creating myths about this , particularly when the architects of this site will directly benefit from the sell off of BBC bandwidth. Perhaps ,rather than hiding under rocks with your Australian American master you could be a little more open about the basis of the unfounded and groundless crap you write.
wow you sound a bit upset about him pulling out!
take a look at who started the rumours….

Clapped out is always disappointed when black guys pull out early.
Good Lord, you made him disappear! Can’t see his bus either….

“I contribute here because I am highly critical of BBC news…….”
Unlike someone of the “progressive” persuasion being a hypocrite, and a liar to boot….
‘..might like to provide evidence for his assertions..’
Blimey, Albaman ok with you cutting and pasting his default post first lines?
I shall have to pop this one in my next missive to CECUTT and see how far it gets though the BBC belief set.
But thank you for contribution, which has been logged… honest.
It’s the Manon who has a problem with positioning his commas.
Must keep a look out for this chap again.
What’s the matter old chap, local theatre not give you the part of pretend working class prole in your latest show ?
Perhaps Galloway will have a crack at the job . Anyone asked him ?
If both he AND Livingstone, not to mention McCluskey, are endorsing Burnham, that’ll do for me!
Any hopes that the UKIP debate might be sidetracked by Chukka chucking his hat out of the ring were not borne out by today’s Daily Politics – one ‘expert opinion’ suggesting that Farage’s performance on QT last night saw ‘the audience turning against him…’
Sorry, I must have missed that. What I saw was a uniquely balanced audience warming increasingly to his opinions and delivery, in fact at one point I even began to think that Dimmly was allowing him too much of a say – although probably in the hope that ‘given enough rope etc etc…’
Didn’t work though.
one ‘expert opinion’ suggesting that Farage’s performance on QT last night saw ‘the audience turning against him…’
Saw that. Jaw dropping stuff. Times journalist – say no more.
Yes indeed, ‘Times journalist and former Labour Party advisor’ no less. What a blessing impartiality is!
Ex-Labour and works for The Times? Perhaps Murdoch not as biased as some on here like to make out.
Hello I’ve just heard an Al Beeb Sockpuppet singing the ‘Wheels on The Bus Go Round and Round’.
Is that the sum of your intellectual offering . You must have gone down a storm in the playground!
‘The lady doth protest too much methinks’
It was a very similar offering to the posts that you and your comrades
put on this site .
I hope that you will be voting here ? The more the merrier .

Go back to your local theatre old chap, the luvvies are missing you perform ‘the boy stood on the burning deck’ how can you keep your fans waiting ?
Ooooh, you sound sooo bitter Mr Clap! That, or you’ve had the customary leftie sense of humour bypass.
Maybe they could persuade Anjem Choudary to enter the race. Exciting, edgy, combative, ethnic and a Muslim. It would be a shoo in.
And, according to a McBeeber, he’s comparable to Ghandi…
If they want a token racist, isn’t it time to give Diane Abbott another run?
Although it’s not often you see her name and ‘run’ in the same sentence.
Was that a typo, S.A.S.B? Didn’t you mean to say “bun”?
Wondering whether I could vote for Tony Benns bones or Tom Paines in the coming Labour election?
Bob Crows cremation urn has more chance of getting in than Andy Burnham and his Mid-Staffs train of hobgoblins.
And Yvette Cooper is still the Bisto Kid…I`m not voting for that!
Isn`t it great-all these nonentities and nomarks were not banking on having to creep out from under that EdStone of theirs to face the light, were they?
The Left-victims of their own incestuous groupthink, so no brains or originality whatsoever.
Goodbye Lenin indeed!
Went looking through my random threads to find one where I wrongly accused Nigel Farage of trying to bag a Parliamentary seat that was not his home one.
In case anyone finds its with some smarty pants comments, can I put on record that my UKIP pals have told me(a chippy northerner who gets most of his soft southern geography from Ian Durys “Billericay Dickie), that Thanet IS where Sir/Lord Nigel Farage of the Weald actually lives.
I teach most things-but that Essex,Kent, East Anglia geography clearly isn`t one of them!
But being a BBC political socksucker….I reiterate that Farage is guilty of geographical deception, and should resign-because that would prevent me from thinking about why Labour are shit, why the BBC are dangling on a dream weavers cradle of filth…and why the EU/UN/NWO should forever be our new masters.
We now all live in a (purple and ) yellow submarine-sink the Oregano…that cruise liner of all things lesberal!
Oh goody-Week From Westminster is on-who can predict what Steve Richards is going to talk about?
Is that Mother Beckett or Dame Patricia spouting off about what went wrong with their beloved Velocipaedo?
I wonder if that moron Brant will veer from his ‘mission; get Farage’ to report and constantly tweet on the meltdown of the liebour party? Does he realize he could have done UKIP a right favour, the snakes in the party have been identified and will be dealt with thus making the party stronger.
Rent a gob McCluskey slating the departed Murphy, and spouting another cliche led rant on why the Cons wiped the floor with liebour, it’s not the poor Scot’s fault though.
Poor Chukky realizing he is more Obummer than Obama! Funny how he wanted to move on straight away for the sake of the party and that wish has been much obliged by the bbc, as opposed to a week of ‘get Farage’ saturation.
The potential leaders race press launch (except for Tristram Hunt, nobody seemed to know why he was there?) where the potentials couldn’t agree on if liebour had overspent during their disastrous 13 year reign.
Pob Burnham and Yvette alien head are still insisting they didn’t overspend therefore nailing their spend,spend,spend…borrow intentions firmly to the mast, how else will they fund their socialist utopia.
I’ve loved the last few days, Farage blew the bbc away on QT, liebour in meltdown, Whittingdale’s presence shaking the bbc to their boots..”We won’t get the Olympics if we lose the license tax, boo,hoo”. Long may it continue.
Most of the acrimony against Farage was within UKIP which is hardly surprising since it is obvious you can’t build a party on the back of no policies and a Guy who by his own admission has not presented the party in a consistent manner.
In terms of Labour over spends,if you are numerate there are plenty of sites that present the relevant data which show that borrowing was on the way down ,because of growth, and at 37% at the time the banking fraud kicked off. These are undisputed facts .George Osbourne has also commented on how the UK was better positioned than most at the time of the crash.
It may be instructive to consider whether you actually want to have social care and hospitals that will cater for your needs in the future. The average spend on health in Europe is about 9%. Is that about right as far as you are concerned? Maybe it’s time for you to stop being gullible and sucking up myths and really understand what’s going on.
You are Wacky Baccy Manon. I claim my 5 pounds.
Oh Luvvie, Oh darling…no need to throw a hissy fit!! Like a true lefty…only YOU know what’s right, everyone else is wrong, quoting sites with relevant data that are totally impartial of course, just like your beloved bbc, eh? So you are actually saying that a record debt was a good position to be in? It was the pesky bankers? Sooo cliched, darling.
Enlighten us as to what exactly is going to happen to the hospitals? Maybe if we stopped giving so much money to Europe we could provide care to all in the UK instead of the whole world?
As for UKIP and Farage, funny how the ‘outspoken elements’ were all for a ‘toned down’ UKIP and were all more than happy to cooperate with the bbc during its 5 day saturation on mission; get Farage? Funny that.
Maybe it’s time for you to realize that, like Russell Bland, Steven Coogan, Chukky Obummer, and most lefties to be honest, you are an irrelevance…you know, like a camp old ham actor who can no longer hold his own on stage, it’s time to fade into the background darrrling.
What is happening to health is it’s becoming privatised.
Currently the NHS is unique in terms of health delivery and efficiency . This will be undermined by private involvement. You probably won’t notice at first because the sign on the door will still say NHS but nonetheless the rot, which started with the Major government will continue as more and more providers seek to profit.
The basic problem of the health market is that unlike buying say a car the patient is typically unwell and needs the health service to tell them what’s wrong and how to fix it. In short they are not ‘rational economic agents’
This leads to one thing and only one thing- health inflation,ie more unnecessary interventions more drug deaths as regularly happens in private health care systems. In all probabity the focus towards acute care from preventative care. Factor in insurance and you will end up with a system where some people drop out of healthcare altogether whilst others ,who require expensive treatments and ongoing care ,will have that care withdrawn,for example denerative diseases,cancer etc. it is not a surprise that people’s ,once confidential, health records are now up for sale!
You can imagine an insurance company pouring over these to find omissions ,like say a sore throat when you were 10, and your declaration on your insurance policy to get out of continued care. If you think I am making this up check out the Spanish experience.
The fact is that the trajectory for the Health Service is to turn it into a for profit organisation.this is good only for those that want to make money out of other people’s misery.
Manon – you in denial and everyone is laughing at you!
Show us some weighted National statistics evidence please.
Manon – To aide a reply from you, here are some relevant National loan and debt statistics and charts to extract your figures from:

Another Labour withdrawal
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/05/16/jim-murphy-resigns-as-scottish-labour-leader-hits-out-at-unions/
now there’s acrimony
The rats are leaving the sinking ship.
Hmm haven’t heard Jo Brand stating that Chuka has gone for good. Like she did on HIGNFY last Friday when Nigel announced he was standing down. How odd.
Farage on Question Time dwarfed them all.
His strength of character, eloquence, vibrancy and natural command ensured that he won over even Brian May.
Farage really is the best politician alive. No other can come any where near close.
So why the hell only one MP after 4 million votes?
This is the most crucial question. Even Brian May agreed.
..
According to the Mail. Chukka had a little drink problem amongst his most private of drinking clubs that the glitterati frequent. In the round of greasy Labour MP’s he is no more delinquent than others in the game of political charades. He would have been an ideal fixer but has not got the Blair mantle or Mandys ability to do doubletalk. Nor has he access to private funding which Labour badly need to remain afloat since their star player at the Co-op was arrested (Flowers) was very generous. Now it all has to be paid back and Chukka has not enough wedge for the ‘committee’ to promote socialist values for Union votes which funding is increasingly sought after to keep the show on the road.
