Will SF repay Jeremy Corbyn for his hospitality in Westminster and support when every other party shunned and expelled them by taking their seats in a hung parliament to put him into No.10? 

With a potential and not unrealistic 6/7 MPs, SF could either form the timing point for a introduction of a Corbyn government by voting with him or allow the return of May by their absence.  Which would be the best scenario for them?  Probably favour return of May to ensure a hard Brexit and the re-establishment of the border to create the focus for continuous political agitation.

However, given SFs inability to advance a concrete plan for a UI to take advantage of it and given the actual practical aggravation which a hard Brexit might cause to their voters, north and south, they cannot quite advocate a hard Brexit.
If the Tories lose there won't be a hard Brexit.

Labour's negotiating team of Corbyn, Keir Starmer, Emily Thornberry and Barry Gardiner is miles better than the Tories team of Theresa the Trump appeaser, David Davis, Liam Foxhunter and  ;DBoris Johnson ;D.

Both in an intellectual sense and in terms of existing relations with other major European parties. Labour hasn't burned its bridges with Europe like the Tories have done and Europe will be much more open to a Labour negotiating team.

The Labour team would be going to negotiate.

The Tories variously think they're going to fight a war/engage in an infantile Twitter trolling session against Europe.

They're clueless on Brexit, and that's supposed to be their "strong" issue?!  ;D

Given that Labour are now running rings around them on their "strong issue", what does it tell you about the rest of the Tories' policies?

They're a fooking joke.

The same Emily Thornberry who said the other day they couldn't export food to Australia as it would "go off"? Aye intellectual powerhouse by the sound of it
A lot of dairy products go off pretty quickly.Can't be flown. Fresh meat too. NZ exports frozen stuff.
Most UK food exports go to the EU. And they won't be able to find replacement markets for a lot of the stuff.

I'm not disputing the correctness of this but I'd like to see a breakdown per country of where UK food exports go. I imagine most to Ireland as UK foodstuffs don't have a great reputation in nations with a greater history of fine cuisine like France or Italy.

Personally, I think Brexit will bring minimal change. Take food products as a prime example. In France, Italy and other wine producing EU countries you can get a very good bottle of wine for a couple of euro. In the UK, you're looking at at least ten pounds and even then it's invariably of the quality a Frenchman or an Italian would pour down the drain. I can't imagine wine producers are going to want to lose access to a market where they can sell substandard versions of their products for vastly inflated prices.
If you are paying a tenner for wine I wine I would advise you to contact the gaaboard wine correspondent, Mr Milltown Row.

You can pay a lot more than a tenner if you like, but still a fiver round here! Those Tenner bottles must be down south!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Did anyone see the debate amongst the South Belfast candidates on 'The View' last night?

I thought it was completely dominated by O Muilleoir who completely owned Pengelly when she started to try to corner him re the Manchester bombing, asking him to apologise for the IRA Manchester bomb....to which he replied it was a bit rich her asking that when her father had been importing weapons to NI for loyalists....OUCH.

And how does any of that help or pass as politics ? It's like groundhog day

Ask Pengelly...

It was whataboutery at its highest level but Pengelly had it coming to her after trying to corner Máirtín Ó Muilleoir on the Manchester bombings....

She picked a fight, he put her back in her box, nothing whataboutery there. What was he supposed to do differently?
Putting their opponents in a box is a Shinner speciality

On the wine, anything less than £8 and its muck, about a tenner now is the fiver of 5 or 6 years ago. On May she is as odious as Trump with out being as funny. On Brexit it is slowly dawning on the leavers that the EU holds all the cards. The North's corner will be better served by the Irish Government who understand the impact of brexit on the all island economy.

Take the time to shift through the Tesco wine online, amazing value with some 25% off on offers...

As for the South they will suffer with the no deals with Britain if it's a hard brexit

Nordies will be unable to afford delicacies such as chocolate kimberley,  Barrys tea and Club Orange as sterling reaches terminal velocity against the Euro.

May is a talking parrot, and that's an insult to talking parrots.

She told a blatant lie that Diane Abbott wanted to remove criminals from DNA databases.

She didn't even know her own government was giving foreign aid to North Korea.

Corbyn is the only competent potential Prime Minister on the campaign.

May is finished.

Anyone watching Boris on BBC2? My god he's pathetic

The audience on Question Time seemed very keen on ensuring that nuking someone/anyone was the main thing they were looking for in their new Prime Minister. I also find it strange that Corbyn is accursed of being a pacifist and a terrorist sympathiser in the same discussion.
That was never a square ball!!

Here's a fact check from the IFS to show how Corbyn claims are wrong:
