A New Centre Party for the UK - Corbyn Era

Mail on Sunday: Reports " More than 150 Labour MPs are plotting to form a breakaway party codenamed 'Continuity Labour' if Jeremy Corbyn wins the leadership battle – with Stephen Kinnock tipped to head it. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has it doubts that the Labour Party has the courage to split, on the other hand the rebels MPs would have four years to build up a base in their local areas, also it will get funding form those that want a real chance of a Labour Government.   The rebels MPs would become the official Opposition while Corbyn would be pushed back to share seats with the SNP.   Nothing last forever, even political parties. 

Trump's choice for VP - Governor Mike Pence

BBC News: Profile of Governor Mike Pence.

Lets Get Real:

All the Governor has to do to be successful is stay quiet and be Trump's attack dog.   The Nominee needs a counter balance, someone who acts a looks sane, and no hair problems.   The profile states that the Governor is popular with social conservatives, so his job is to get the base out.  If Trump fails as is expected then this allows Pence to have a chance in 2020, so he must be tied to Trump but not to tight, when the Trump campaign fails it should not take down the Governor.   Politics is a ruthless business, you take your chance when it comes.

A New Chancellor - May Era

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports 7.17pm post the following, " Hammond becomes chancellor as Osborne leaves the government "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the old Cameron Cabinet is getting the push, Hammond is a better fit as Chancellor, how the manner of dry accountant, that is what you want next door, also not a political threat as he supported Remain in the EU vote.   Let see who gets FCO, Home Office and the new Department of Brexit.

The New Cabinet - May Era

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 7.12pm post the following, " Boris Johnson has arrived at Number 10...That’s unexpected. We have been told that we’re getting the big jobs tonight - chancellor, foreign secretary, home secretary and secretary of state for Brexit (the new job Theresa May is creating) - and Johnson has not been tipped for any of these. "

Lets Get Real:

Is the Boris Johnson up for a job, lets hope Foreign Office, or the new Department for Brexit, him at No 11 might not be a good idea, hardly comes across as a accountant.   The media will love this, who is in and who is out, that is the fun of a reshuffle. 

PM May and her Government - May Era

Lets Get Real:

The more you listen to the speech the more it sounds like something Ed Miliband would say, let us hope its just SPIN, the Conservatives will have to keep an eye on this PM, what would Lady Thatcher say about it, one could only guess.    Let us hope that Brexit means Brexit!!

The Press and the New PM - May Era

BBC News - Live Reporting: Reports the following in its 6.16pm post, " Laura Kuenssberg: May's 'radical note'..BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg says it was a "confident" speech with a surprisingly forceful focus on social justice, social mobility and extending opportunity to those who have maybe been left behind - which she suggests could possibly have been made by a Labour politician..."There was a radical note to that speech which maybe not everyone might have been expecting," she adds..Despite this, the BBC's political editor says the new prime minister should be under no illusion about how "tough a ride" she will have. "

Lets Get Real:

One only hopes that Conservative backbench MPs will not have to remind the PM that she leads the Conservative Party, social care yes but not a nanny State, the Conservative Party is of the right, we want people to help themselves, we are not communists, as those in charge of Labour at the moment.   The main policy for PM May is to get the UK out of the EU.   The UK wants Brexit to mean Brexit, the UK wants control of its borders and who decides UK law, the House of Commons and not the EU.   On the whole a good start, lets see how it goes from here.

Sanders BACKS Hillary Clinton - Election 2016

Guardian: Reports " Bernie Sanders officially endorses Hillary Clinton for president..Former bitter Democratic primary foes reconcile at joint rally after series of policy compromises to party platform made to reflect Sanders’ campaign ideas  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the fight in the Democratic race is OVER, the question is will ALL Sander supporters vote for HRC, that is her main job now, get the Sanders people. make sure the African - American community understand that she has their side, but also has to show that she supporters law and order.    The issue of law and order has been taken up by Trump, the Democrats have to careful that they do not lose moderates who think LAW AND ORDER is the first job of a President.   It has to be said that Trump sounded rational, even Presidential when he was going through his law and order part of the speech, the Democrats have to careful they do not write off the Trump, his is a billionaire for a reason, just a reminder!
