May probably has the advantage of going first - people will forget she's shit when Neil grills Corbyn
 
What channel was the interview on? Just got in and missed it.
 
Watched that with my mum. After I asked who she voted for (she had postal vote) and she says "I'm not telling you" :lol:

Well we all know what that means.

Did get it out of her in the and she said she likes the things Labour say but thinks they're unrealistic and that the Tory stance of being vague is a safe one, which she seemed to like. She seemed to be regretting her decision as she watched on and said she was disappointed by May. Did talk a bit more about Labour / Tory and her arguments did seem a bit wish washy but hey ho. Genuinely does seem like if I had a lengthy convo about the election before they voted I could have swayed my parents vote.

I reckon a lot of people think that way of Labour will just think 'cool, but we don't believe you or it's not sustainable'.

I live in a Tory stronghold anyway so vote will mean feck all anyway.
 
We all thought Cameron was an incredibly weak leader, Theresa May is worse, I'm not sure how but she's managed it.

It's sickening hearing her talking about the NHS when they've been utterly shafting it since day one. Jeremy Hunt rhymes with something for a reason.

Even the comments on the right wing shitepapers are turning against her.

Commenters need to be aware that the majority of the comments being posted are from people who have only signed up in the last month. These are quite simply Labour trolls who are being encouraged to infest sites to try to sway opinion. Simply look at their profiles. Others are users which have never posted comments ever despite being members for years. This was the same in the last election. Yet more evidence of the true nasty party, the Labour party with its swivel-eyed frothing loons chanting and disrupting. Never see Conservative supporters shouting abuse outside the Labour conference do you?
 
Their unpreparedness for the snap election that they decided to call is genuinely quite astounding. And screwing up your own manifesto launch with a last minute change of policy that your own cabinet had no knowledge of is world beating levels of incompetence.

Yup, but even taking that into consideration.. I follow DM comments regularly and the labour voters just get blasted and out-commented by the tory voters. She's definitely struck a nerve in the worst possible way with this social care disaster.. and the press are on her back, which in of itself is a massive change.

Still think Tories will win comfortably but hopefully the landslide they wanted is not going to come to fruition.

I'm really starting to believe that they've recognised that there is no coming out of the Brexit negotiations with any sort of credibility and they're looking to put the responsibility on Labours shoulders so they can blame Labour for the inevitable shit storm and steal back in 5 years when the deed is done and they will be promising the world once more.

She's like broken record, its painful to listen to.

I don't she was as disastrous as some are maming out. Agree she was a scratched record, but no Abbott-esque gaffes. Neil was quite funny during the protracted social care bit.
 
Strong and Stable campaigns shouldn't need to lie to get themselves out of the shit

 
Honestly, how can you vote for her?

Are people this brainwashed by media propaganda?
 
It's great to see a spoiler free thread, I know the thick of it and Game of thrones have a slight difference in viewership levels but the difference in the threads is clear to see.
 
I was doom and gloom about Labour's chances but I must say I'm starting to believe Corbyn can pull this off. Theresa May is a disaster she's so weak and unstable.
 
Has any party ever overcome such a big gap in polls in such a short space of time to then go on and win? Unfortunately I think it's still impossible, but Labour may well end up doing a lot better than anyone would have predicted. Now that May and the Tories are actually having to engage with the election they're looking pretty clueless.

People seem to have forgotten that the intention behind calling this election was to increase their majority to strengthen their hand in negotiations with the EU.

That's going well.
