Corbyn isn't going to be Prime Minister. His style of politics just isn't going to take Tory seats. You are just making yourself look dim. If Labour get above a 34 percent vote share I'll be surprised.

The Green Party have just the one MP and even if you didn't know it wouldn't be hard to guess that it was in Brighton where the quirky inhabitants are happy to vote for an equally quirky party. The Greens also controlled Brighton council until they made such an almighty mess of it that at the next elections the quirky locals couldn't take any more and went back to Labour. Brighton under the Greens came almost bottom of the councils' recycling league as their record was so poor. So much for the environmentally friendly party That's not why I'm voting for them. I'm voting for them because their candidate standing in my constituency have an excellent record of projects that have affected the people of Reading and protecting local services and representing their community at the council. I could care less about Green issues and environment - They won my vote because they actually tried to represent me on a local level. When I contacted them about the Swimming pool and Child centre closures, they were already involved. When we started the campaign to save the After Dark, they got directly involved. Even without control of the council or having a sitting MP, they're making the effort.

There is no need to worry if you are earning over £80,000 a year and that 3% will obviously mean that you will be only just 'getting by'.

I guess it will come down to how many centre-ish Tory voters will "hold their noses" and vote Tory despite the contempt for the average person that May and her manifesto clearly evidence. Not as many of these now as May was perhaps banking on a month ago, I'd bet.

Best laugh I have had all day...
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

May doesn't value these head to head(s) debates but Amber Rudd can do it instead.

Poorly chaired, highly partisan audience, no point other than to pontificate and virtue signal. May was wise to stay the hell away.
