I second that.
It has made my morning....knowing that we have a new person to represent the people of the borough.
I am sure that it will take very little effort to be 200% better than our last representative.
Well Done Sara

Jeremy Corbyn gone too.
He said he was Marmite....well, that can't be right....some people LIKE marmite.
Anna Soubry gone, the irritating Jo Swinson.....I have not had time to check out others.....except Chukka....he's been chucked....but says he will stay a Lib Dem(fool).

The little bearded communist can now go and sit in his allotment along with the other bearded little Gnomes and spout his communist claptrap too to his vegetables.

Trouble is, his metropolitan vegetables are still running the Labour Party.
Yes they are...but maybe they will see that the current make up of the party is unpalatable and not to the taste of the electorate.
Changing the leader will not make the Labour Party any more electable unless they change their Marxist ideologies....and again appeal to the traditional Labour voter.

The problem is it isn't ALL Tory GOOD - ALL Labour BAD... it's pretty much ALL politicians BAD just some are ever so slightly less bad. I don't expect the tories to do anything for the ordinary working man (oops sorry I meant to say extraordinary ever so special employed/non-employed multi-binary/self identifying gender carbon neutral 'who's a little QT+ then' "individual"). Labour has to find new more earnest folk who need to get out and about more to Hexham and Wrexham and Grimsby and Derby instead of formulating policy in Islington coffee bars and their Auvergne getaway gites. The rumour is they are considering the Mancunian Foghorn Angela Rayner as the next leader BIG mistake have they learnt NOTHING from this humiliating defeat ?

Sorry but I never was any good at Conundrums, (If that is the way it is spelt).
Jimmy, to learn something you have to accept that there is a gap in your knowledge...or that you have got something very fundamental, wrong.
So they are not going to learn because there is no acceptance that the problem exists in the Labour Party because it no longer represents the people it was formed to promote, protect and serve.
Jeremy Corbyn has said that the poor Labour performance was all down to Brexit(and yes, to a large degree it was a part of it) he does not accept that anything he said or did was to blame.
The fact that after the referendum, ALL parties promised that this would be delivered....but there were MP's(in all parties) who thought that we poor uneducated bunch did not know what the consequences of our vote would be.
They thought (arrogantly) that they knew better than those they are supposed to serve.
There lies the problem.
Our own MP was scathing about us being given the opportunity to decide the direction the country should pursue...he disagreed and did much to thwart the process....he did nothing much for the borough anyway.
If he wrote his achievements on the back of a stamp, he would still have room for the works of Shakespeare....so we are well rid of him....and he won't starve...he could always go back to ppie crimping.

Here are the views of the pundits in the United States.
Many see the British election results not so much as a win for the Conservatives and Boris but more as a rejection of Socialism across the board.
They may be correct or it may be wishful thinking given the state of U.S. politics.
Opinions?

Don’t disagree with much of this view.

It wasn’t a rejection of socialism over capitalism; it was a rejection of the lying, two-faced, political and media classes in both the U.K. and the EU that believe they can perpetually hoodwink the British public.

I think it was a rejection of the people who felt the electorate were disposable.
That the thoughts, opinions, values of the electorate do not matter.
That democracy could be discarded without consequences....because it was democracy that was sacrificed by MP's of ALL parties.
There could not be a rejection of socialism as there WAS NO SOCIALISM on offer.
The current Labour Party no longer reflects the values of the working man....and not only that, the way the party was led was appalling...it wasn't led in any true sense of the word.
Now, there is a little more stability...not sure how long this will last as I am sure that when Brexit business re-opens, the EU are going to be as mad as a wet hen in a thunderstorm and they are going to look for ways to extract the pish from the UK.
Who knows what arch remainers might do now they have more time to get in cahoots with the EU mandarins.
That might make me sound paranoid, but I cannot believe that the likes of Dominic Grieve and David Gaulke (who both lost their seats) will let it lie.
So it is not over until it is over.
Indeed - they haven't learnt one iota and seem hellbent on marginalising the party and reducing it's appeal even further...
Labour MP David Lammy, who was re-elected in Tottenham last night, has said he is "thinking about" running for the Labour leadership.
...just when you thought they couldn't choose anyone worse than Corbyn.
It would be really hard to choose a Labour MP who has the skill to lead this very dysfunctional political party.
Part of their problem is that they have lost touch with the traditional Labour voter....and some of the blame for this has to be laid at the door of Tony Blair...he set the standard for the current class of 'champagne socialists' those with money and influence.
Today, MP's almost see themselves as celebrities rather than jobbing politicians....in parliament to REPRESENT those who elected them.
I am sick of seeing the likes of Rylance, Cumberbatch, Hugh Grant, preaching and pontificating for Labour....and not forgetting silly Lily Allen.....these are not the people that the Labour Party was set up to protect.
They have more money in a year than most of us will earn in our lifetimes....and I don't see any of them giving it to support homeless or disadvantaged.
Their pontificating is more a form of virtue signalling....letting the world think they care about those on the breadline.....but just talking about it doesn't get it done.
The party needs to rid itself of the Marxists and communists before it can hope to regain support.

Someone else agrees with you, Margaret.

I hadn't seen that, but yes, it is right....and it seems that they hate anything patriotic, anything British, they cannot see that patriotism to the Brits is the air they breathe....and that this is not racist or xenophobic...it is just in our genes.
Ps....I could have written that article myself....every word I agree with.
