Labour MPs are beginning to leave Corbyn during an election anyway. Should fill the public with confidence.

A completely untrustworthy labour leader may as well step down now. Voters leaving, politicians leaving, but they won’t care. Bunch of scruffs will prefer to complain than do anyway.

The polls are favourable to the Conservatives at the moment but I take nothing for granted.Volatility could well play it's part.
Labour will promise everything with fantasy economics and large swathes might actually be convinced!

As Andrew Marr said, if someone asked you what was going to happen in this election, cock an eyebrow, say thank you very much and walk away.

No, it was Johnson who cleared out 21 Tory MPs.

Corbyn has not sacked Watson or any of the labour members who voted with the government.

You forgot to call him a marxist.

Must be slipping.

They were not Tory MP's and neither is Johnson. If the Tories were Tories we would have left the EU already but that's not been true for decades.

Oh and Corbyn is a Marxist and Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.

Did you hear Ian Austin earlier?

I know. Maybe he’s had a moment of clarity and given up crystal Meth.

Well, a stopped clock and all that...

Austin is not a labour MP, he is an independent.

We will be getting this stuff from all sides.

Actually, after Starmer, are we sure he didn't say the opposite?

Independents often don't get to keep their seats, he looks like good traffic warden material to me.

Apparently Watson received some correspondence from a concerned citizen in Cornwall - Truro I believe. He said he could only see one way of preventing any more.

If you keep repeating that enough it might come true - seems to be the very overt Tory strategy at the moment.

Also funny to hear people who no doubt supported Boris’ leadership campaign on the premise that he was going to get us a better deal mock the idea now... don’t get me wrong, it was always a ridiculous claim that this magical better deal existed, but the hypocrisy is pathetic.

and now Labour are pushing the same promises....

And Johnson isn't promising more spending?

There is spending and reckless spending leaving a legacy of debt.
Labour will fund their plans with an unprecedented £600 Billion of extra borrowing, which equates to £9,000 for every adult and child.This is a level of borrowing not seen since the 60s.Not forgetting of course the increased taxation which will hit hard working families.

On that note, I need to depart to assist with the Conservative campaign!

Excuse my stupidity, but so what. Who does the Government borrow money off? Our debt is 85% of GDP and to be honest I've never known anyone or country sending in bailiffs to collect this debt.

Yes there will be increased taxation, but again, so what. I will be hit by it, but it won't really affect my life and everyone else below the increase will remain as is and probably better off as the minimum wage will go up.

Where I do see an issue is in increasing corporation tax. I would prefer that to be lowered to almost single digits, but to actually collect it from the monopolistic FANGS as well as closing loopholes.
