Now the Lib Dems in cahoots with Labour  ?

"LIBERAL DEMOCRAT leader Sir Ed Davey last night finally admitted to helping Labour in the local elections in a bid to oust Tory councillors."https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1605342/brexit-news-lib-dems-labour-party-team-up-tories-local-elections?utm_source=express_newsletter&utm_campaign=politics_evening_newsletter2&utm_medium=email

And what is wrong with that? "Cahoots"implies a dishonest, secretive arrangement, whereas the reality is an openly-declared and entirely understandable election pact.

Read first line of article  and specifically take note of "finally admitted..."Goodnight

Loraine Pemberton ● 1601d

At least we know Robert is left wing. Why can’t we just debate any issue without someone like Robert bringing politics into it?

Jayne Thorburn ● 1601d

Yes, good night and sweet dreams of tomorrow!

Robert Fish ● 1601d

Jayne, you are a joke. You don't think Loraine's post was political (just as was your misrepresentation of the Mail article)?

Robert Fish ● 1601d

What's that saying about counting 🐓🐓🐓 before 🥚🥚🥚... let's wait and see

It does look like on the eve of the election some people have made a concerted attempt to confirm John Stuart Mill’s “obvious and undeniable… fact”.

Tom Pike ● 1601d

You may say it, Tom. I couldn't possibly comment!

Good to see the usual motor lobby suspects pitching in strongly over the past few days,  made my mind up as a politically neutral voter.  Thanks for your help, you know who you are.

Well the Lib Dems got well and truly stung when they joined up with the Conservatives so that shouldn't surprise you.

Philippa Bond ● 1601d

The Lib Dems apparently will consort with anyone if it gives them a few more 'seats' be it locally or nationally 😉

Loraine Pemberton ● 1601d

So what?  That's not as bad as lying!

Philippa Bond ● 1601d

There you go again, getting it wrong again ! Whilst I wholeheartedly supported Chiswicks Conservative Councillors, I do not support all of the elected Government's policies and MO. Why not stick to the truth and not your inaccurate perception of it when it comes to me ?

Loraine Pemberton ● 1601d

The Daily Express, that font of all wisedom, merely reproduces a press release from the Chairman of the Conservative Party, so I guess it must be true. But hang on, is this the same Conservative Party who did a deal with UKIP, and possibly the same Conservative Party that did a deal with the DUP to keep Teresa May in office?

Andrew Steed ● 1600d

It is certainly the same Liberal Democrat party that went into coalition with the Conservatives. Coalitions, and semi-formal deals and agreements not to stand against each other, are part of the scenery of democratic politics.

“ But hang on, is this the same Conservative Party who did a deal with UKIP, and possibly the same Conservative Party that did a deal with the DUP to keep Teresa May in office?”No it isn’t. That Conservative Party is long gone.
