Its great to see the Theresa May halo slipping though. Her popularity will surely be on the floor in 2-3 years.
 
Every time I see Corbyn speak he is very impressive. So very different from the picture that the majority of the media paints of him.

I'm going to be voting Labour and I feel good about doing it.

There's still some mileage in the "Europe is out to kill us" speech yet.

Tonight's interview could be a big thing, if she's composed and appears in control then she regains some of the narrative, but do badly and it amplifies the chaos of the last weekend.

Polls are interesting as well, seems to be very little change among the over 65s, its the middle aged bracket that's swung.
 
And where's that money coming from, Labour's money tree or further borrowing? The rise in private car firms suggests that you'll need a lot to even bring it up to an acceptable standard.

They can just take it from the Tory money tree.

Tories can't claim ownership of strong and stable or fiscal responsibility when the manifesto changes by billions within days.
 
My bet on Corbyn is going well. Put £500 down last night and £571 to cashout already. Holding out for 100 quid. Just need Jezza to keep his mouth shut for about 24 hours and I'm sorted!

Edit: Just cashed it out for £116 profit. Cheers Jezza!

Well done. I've been recording all my bets for 20 years, and unfortunately politics is the one subject I've been absolutely pasted on, despite following it more closely than the others. My nerve's gone on it!
 
Seriously if the media don't cover all these feckups prominently then i want to hear nothing from you lot about conspiracy media bias

You can call it my bias but look at Kuessenbergs twitter and the wordings , May is clarifying, angry, partial U-Turn and repeats in quotes claims they didnt. Wordings associated to Corbyn on the story Corbyns 'Fantasy Manifesto', Corbyn fake news.

BBC webpage is "T.May changes social care proposals". Subheading is her revising it.

Where's the clanger peices?

Shouldn't be able to. But can.
 
Would you have remained steadfastly loyal to StW over two decades given their words and actions? Why shouldn't people wonder about Corbyn as a result? He's even had the audacity to accept Andrew Murray on his election staff.
You don't actually think Corbyn is a terrorist sympathiser, do you ?
 
Who was the journo who asked May if she was "weak and wobbly"? :lol: Give that man a medal!

90k is nothing over 650 constituencies.

2.5 million total as of saturday, around three quarters under 25.

Corbyn polls above 60% for that age group.

And every poll, without exception, weights against young respondents because they traditionally do not vote. In other words, you are not seeing the consequences of that surge in voters within the polls at all.

So the NHS comparison was just hot air essentially.

Intersting retween from Somerset Webb:

Is that a yes or a no?

I think Corbyn has allowed his ideology to guide him toward some bad choices. Indeed, these errors have occurred with such rapidity that you are left wondering whether he doesn't care. He is also quite happy to have terrorist sympathisers as personal friends. Part of Corbyn tge politician has sympathy for the anti-Western fight.

At best, i believe he would be dangerously hesitant with regard to anti-terrorism operations. At worst, he will bring about an irresponsibly isolationist Britain. I also think he would disregard the democratic wishes of the Falkland Islanders by pursuing a power sharing agreement with Argentina.

It boils down to judgement, and i have little if any confidence in his.




Bought off at the expense of the poor and the vulnerable. Way to go Jerro!

I never believed the previous polls when the conservatives were ahead.
Was as dubious as them supposedly winning a few seats in Scotland. With Wales and anywhere with a mining heritage, they will never get anywhere.
 
What's going on tonight?

Has this thread been renamed Theresa May Goes Into Meltdown yet?
I feel like we should avoid tempting fate. Bear in mind what happened with polls during pussygate and what happened afterwards.

Ok, now we're fast approaching the parody event horizon. So he's the one who would be 'irresponsibly isolationist', not the government who just fully embraced UKIP nationalism and the hardest version of Brexit. Because of course nothing says internationalist like kicking out foreigners and telling people that if they think they are citizens of the world then they're 'citizens of nowhere'.

Surely you'd like him even more if he promised to just leave the lot of them homeless and starving, like your heroes in the modern Conservative party?
