Did someone say lower house prices? It's like the tories are doing their best to galvanize younger voters.

Cheers, I'll try the quiz later as I'm as conflicted as you seem to be in this election.
Squeezing farmers further when subsidies disappear won't end well.
This is worse than Thornberry's comment though.
Not that big mate. About 50ft.
In the article it talked about council tax trebling and I currently pay just over £200 a month (over 10 months)
Where did she say that? Nothing's coming up on Google for 'Emily Thornberry Australia' or 'Emily Thornberry Exports'Wtf? 'It will go off'
Conservative response to Thornberry saying Brexit food exports to will Australia ‘go off’
Responding to Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry’s comments that the UK food industry will struggle after Brexit because “you can’t export it to Australia – it will go off”, Neil Parish, Conservative candidate for Tiverton and Honiton and former chairman of the Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs select committee, said:
“Yet again, Emily Thornberry is completely out of touch with reality. Australia is already our 12th biggest export market for food and drink and demand is growing fast – because our great British food makes it Down Under in perfect condition.
“These comments would be funny but it is no laughing matter that Jeremy Corbyn and Emily Thornberry could be negotiating Brexit just 11 days after polling day.
“If they don’t think we can export food around the world, they would make an absolute meal of the Brexit negotiations – and we would all pay the price.”

We can but dream.
Link me?
I really doubt it's going to be anywhere near that extreme. Even if they're considering those levels it won't even make it to a vote.
Only thing in the manifesto is a brief sentence - "We will initiate a review into reforming council tax and business rates and consider new options such as a land value tax, to ensure local government has sustainable funding for the long term." So no real detail, just a "review".
Thanks mate.
Do you think that having a garden is evidence of one's increased capacity to pay taxes?
A review that wouldn't survive the political kite flying then, like the absence of a social care cap.
ETA: I wonder how much shorter we could make these manifestos if we took out all the platitudes and gestures. We could ditch 50 and 100 pages from Labour and Conservative respectively. All those trees...

Let's hope not mate.
The state of British politics at the moment. Any half decent party leader would be walking away with it.
That's obviously not what's going to happen though. You're extrapolating wildly from what's in the manifesto.
Yeah, I'm just getting The Wild Thornberrys, as well.
For those playing the guessing game, it was indeed The Sun.
Damn, I had the Daily Mail.
Yeah, that was the first thing I got for Thornberry Australia unsurprisingly.
Corbyn's one the One Show tonight, I hear.
Telegraph and Mail as well mate. Hopefully just sensationalist rubbish.
sod of the earth.
Ah, just found it (don't ask to what lengths I went)

Yeah he is, just started.
Just watching it now, certainly going to be interesting to see how they approach it compared to their buttering of May.

Never stopped the Tories putting up VAT
SNP manifesto was launched today, interestingly Sturgeon is now more keen on a referendum at the end of the Brexit process as opposed to during. Bit of a change there.
Me too, most things were less important for me.
And politics all around the world
The one show is so boring.
This One Show guy is a snarky piece of work.
Just the little barbed comments going in with each question / link.

On a separate note from electoral coverage someone keeps changing his mind between Tory and one of other parties in the Redcafe poll above. I keep seeing Tory vote count go up and down. Currently back up. Who is it? Identify yourself!
Theresa May.
