Morning all.

The lack of a Lib Dems 'surge' as predicted immediately after the EU referendum is a bit of a worry when it comes to the south / south west.

What did she say? Q: What is your response to the revelation that President Trump disclosed intelligence matters to the Russians? May says she does not comment on intelligence matter. It is up to Trump what he wants to tell his guests, she says. So she's fine with Trump revealing any intelligence a...

Just a thought. It would be nice to try to find ways to bring back posters here who have left for whatever reason. Given the aversion to banning people, one option we could introduce is a time limit between posts. This might create a bit more space for debate and variety of opinions and stop folk, ...

Thoughts on the manifesto?

Glad to hear the fake outrage emanating. It's a reminder of where we are politically in this country.

Well, well. Water as well. Good.

Hard to argue with imho.

In which way?

A) Emphasis on national security and that's why we need a strong and secure president? Sorry, Prime Minister.

B) Another disaster at the NHS under the Hunt.

C) something else.

That's...erm...brave.

Unless there's a photo of a pledge being signed by the leader, I don't believe it.

Laura pushing for an OBE again on Today. What a Jeremy Hunt she is.

Railways and tuition fees to be added to the manifesto. Good.

Blimey. When even the BBC are laying it out like this..

It's great weather for those campaigning. For those forced to study for upcoming exams, not so much.

Paul Johnson at the IFS. Blinking red socks wearing expert. Why trust him about Labour's costings when we can listen to the Tory stooges.

StephenDolan

Trolling again, SH? Tis all about the trend I hear you shout.

In other news, Fox hunting free vote, yay! The list of fucking nasty Tory plans gets another tick.

StephenDolan

Kuenssberg making herself the story again. Shocked, shocked I am.

StephenDolan

May may not be good. Yet there are plenty in the press that like her, Laura K has a femcrush and the personal polling of May is sky-high. The campaign literature shows that this is framed as give me a strong Brexit mandate. Everything else? Superfluous.

Afternoon all.

Yet another bright sunny day here, long may it continue.

StephenDolan

Hospital parking fees. Again, a decent policy. Speaking from previous personal experience, spending nights and going there and back multiple times a day it's sickening. Pun absolutely intended

May has gone full tinfoil. Dacre would approve.

She has said all along that she intends to get the best deal. Is she now saying that won't happen because of those pesky Europeans?

Morning all. I'm liking the push on the police numbers. Helps pushback on the notion of what a great home secretary May was, highlighting the numbers reduced during her time. CGT or extra 10,000 police? I wonder which is more popular on the doorstep. The renting rights v freezer purchase rights was ...

Closing in the polls (real or otherwise) removes any complacency from the blue vote.

Agree with the sentiment. Unfortunate Freudian slip at the end, it'd be open war on Labour.

Morning all.
Ashworth did a good job on Today.

I rather liked the kidnapping of the phrase "long term plan" to use it in terms of the NHS. Ditto the focus on safety of patients.

StephenDolan

We want a hard Brexit. So we can lead the world in preventing tourism.

Round up the tourists!

StephenDolan

Just caught up with yesterday. Morning all and thanks to howsilly. Any Labour government is better than any Tory led one. Any.

StephenDolan

So The Mail and The Times feature Le Pen heavily in their newspapers and coincidentally May and the Tories haven't given Macron their support.

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

Amber Rudd is citing Theresa May's wish to have "support from her MPs" (re "Brexit") as one of the reasons for calling a General Election. What changes is she (TM) expecting in their views\make-up, then? The whole thing stands up less and less to scrutiny. Her MPs must be every ...

Good morning. I can hear why May doesn't want to do debates. Robinson is tearing her a new one.
