I think what's happened with the NHS today is going to change a few minds.

re-McDonnell on today. He wasn't fighting this election but the next one, hence why he kept attacking the BBC. The Today programme *is* dreadful though. I listen to radio 3 usually. I think this on Corbyn's qualities is harsh but fair. https://capx.co/where-does-corbyn-leave-centre-left-voters/&quo...

So your own assessment that polls are a measure of anyone's actual competence to do the PM job is nonsense?

The polls are no measure of competence in the job What the electorate are looking at escapes me Polls suggest May is considered the 'best' PM since records began.......i assume you agree with that I personally think the electorate are wrong just as I think they were on Brexit and during the years u...

I think that is peak Tory, and I think both are overstated. Fieldwork on 19th-20th Lets ssee hat things look like after a week of campaigning. It really has not gone well for Theresa May. Dissapointing green scores too, but we could get squeezed by the libdem resurgence.

Temulkar

Whatever you think of Corbyn, he has fought two pretty brutal leadership elections in the last two years, and has a team that knows how to campaign - if nothing else dependent upon your stance - he clearly comes alive in this situation. By contrast, May has always been a foot soldier in elections, n...

I must be a masochist catching wato. To summarise, 30 mins of saying that class sizes don't matter.

Looks like Dugher is standing down. Every cloud and all that

Gerard Coyne suspended from Unite - not looking good for his leadership bid... If the DPA allegations are proven he is in for some trouble. It's really not going according to plan for the snivelling ABC cultists, is it.

I think May could be in for a serious shock. She's banking on an increased majority, but the lib dems are going to win seats back, it was their collapse that gave the tories the majority in 2015.

I see. So presumably you'd favour someone prepared to serve? Starmer or Long-Bailey being the only plausible ones I guess. The latter won't get the nominations, and I suspect the former won't stand as the PLP share my view of him. Labour has a leader and there is a general election to fight. I thin...

The bigging up of Cooper. Deary me. Her problem is that she'll be labelled a Blairite again. Possible the PLP could just impose her (as they did with Brown) but it is pretty clear she is the de facto leader of the PLP. She is much more able than Starmer, IMO, who is a myth. The softer alternative, ...

Funny how similar your way of presenting your argument matches the Tory email Paul posted. And Mays' speech. Do you study their handbook?

You'll be voting Tory then? No but it matters not because in this seat, they weigh the blue vote. It's been blue since the day it was created. I do at least vote Labour to try & get rid of the Cons - more than can be said for some. If I was in a marginal I would - and did - vote for the best op...

I cant think why she would call a GE before the boundary changes, and whilst she has corbyn where she wants him. TM is not a gambler, so if she is calling a GE, something horrid that could bring down the govt is on the horizon and she heeds a bigger majority.

Morning. I see we're still on why the Tories won the 2015 election.
