I agree definitely seems a little "off"

The harsh reality is that currently living standards are dropping, the NHS is on its knees, schools are massively struggling, we have a PM who says people use food banks for 'a number of complicated reasons' (yeah good one) and child poverty is rising. Yet, here we are on the brink of giving the tories a landslide victory. We are quick to laugh at the USA voting for Trump but from where I'm looking, it seems the UK is just as bad at making bizarre decisions at the polling stations. Not saying a Labour win would be great, but certainly a Tory landslide is bad news for the majority of hard working families in this country who quite frankly, the likes of Ian Duncan Smith and Philip Hammond treat with contempt.

Rubbish. Nothing could be worse for them than putting a shambolic Labour Party in charge when we need strong negotiation on Brexit and strict control of the economy.

Yes. I prefer the Tories to win, this time. But not in this way. People don't realise how sh1tty things could get for them. Thatcher was a long time ago and not in the memory of some voting blue, or out the other side and ok now for other blue voters.

But it isn't the voters fault. It's the fault of Corbyn, his fan club and the union leaders backing him, that useless pr1ck Ed Moribund and not his much more electable brother David. David Miliband may have been more Blair Mk II but at least he's competition.

What Corbyn wants to do is see this election through, change the party's voting rules on leadership and see another socialist leader give it another bash for 10 years.

Dont count on holidays if you have to count the £s. You might be in the unlucky discarded sector under a large Tory majority. That's if May doesn't start to address the country's ills she promised.

He's wrong to say certainly but it could be bad news under majority Tory government. It could also be bad under Corbyn. The point really is that May is going to have carte Blanche to do whatever she wants, and she hasn't been forthcoming in telling us what she intends on anything. Good at making howlers of errors in policy that have tge public, the press, sometimes her own party up in arms and then it's scrapped as quick as you know. This is an example of what they're capable of. Whatever they want.

Regards the 'General Election', I'm NOT getting carried away or taking any one or any vote for granted. Every vote will have to be earned and I shall be out there canvassing hour on hour for my party.

Just some praise for the activists of ALL parties who work so hard, in all weathers to knock on doors, deliver leaflets etc.I know I am one of them but I of course recognise the work carried out by all those of a different political persuasion as myself.

Thank you.

Not a fan of Burnham but he is certainly a clever politician.

Former Blairite, hammered in the leadership election, swears allegiance to Corbyn, gets in Shadow Cabinet then leaves becomes Mayor and is moderate again.

Could be a leader of the Labour Party in 10 yrs or so. Unless someone like Starmer gets in


Surprised anyone on here has a good word for him. He sought justice for the 96 and we all know scousers are another figure of hate and derision.

No British government has carte Blanche. I suspect that any Bill that is genuinely deplorable would be voted down by a majority of MP's. Not all Tory MP's are like minded on every issue.

For which he deserves credit.

if I remember correctly wasn't he heckled by the Liverpool fans a few years ago?

I'd like to think so... sadly a majority of MP's (on all sides) seem to be brown nosing yes men.

If a 'NHS Privatisation Bill' or whatever came up later this year, with a Tory majority of 70 or 80, do you really think 70 or 80 of 400 Tory MP's would defy a 3 line whip? It wouldn't happen
