No secret that I’m a Corbyn supporter, but on the doorsteps there is definitely movement.....

I think he has engineered (by luck or judgement will depend on your view of him I suppose)the Labour Party into a position where it is the only party that could possibly end up remaining (may need support of SNP and DUP to do that, and imagine the expressions of the loonies with JC shaking hands with the IRA’s harshest opponents😀😀).

As I see it

Vote Tory. Hard Brexit
Vote LibDem Hard Brexit
Vote BP. Hard Brexit
Vote SNP. Remain
Vote DUP. Remain
Vote Green. Remain

Now, if there are really 55% or more who now want to remain the only way they can do it is to vote against Tory or BP, so there “may” be some holding of noses to be done and thinking about which you would dislike least......

I see what you're saying Macca - DUP, Green and/or SNP potential coalition with Labour anti-Tory.

So, SPR, he's saying Lib Dems wont coalition with Labour so they effectively allow a Tory minority govt to prevail?

Problem is Lib Dem surely have best chance of nicking seats from Tories, so sometimes it's sensible to vote for them?

DUP won't do a coalition with Corbyn either though.

Lib Dems are basically pivoting to keep Johnson out or limit him so as long as their seats don't come at the expense of Labour, they won't lead to a hard Brexit.

I think it will vary Happy. I fear that my constituency, Gosport, is a lost cause (17,000 blue majority last time); labour a distant 2nd and LD losing deposit.

I have held my nose via postal vote and posted a futile X for labour.

It’s still very much ‘wwylgoi’ down here.

Just seen the Nicky Morgan 50k more nurses of which 19k are existing on Good Morning Britain. How do supposedly intelligent people come up with this shite? It must be because they know they can get away with it somehow.

The total budget for that works out at 18k per nurse. Which by the time they are trained, doesn’t leave a whole lot for paying them...it’s just Mickey Mouse level accounting.

I'm intrigued to see how Labour responds to the chief rabbi's comments. No doubt my Facebook feed of Corbyn activists will attempt to argue that he is wrong, and in doing so unwittingly manage to make anti Semitic remarks and accuse him off being a Tory etc. Oh joy.
