How's this transferring into seats though? Can the Lib Dems bounce anywhere down south to give the Tories a headache?

Clutching at straws I know.

It's nearly impossible to say, the Lib Dems will gain seats from the Tories, but it's difficult to say how many. That level of polling suggests a huge swing from Labour to the Tories though, which means the Tories will wipe the floor with Labour in their marginals.

This country needs to decide if it wants to be run by lying scumbag , fraudulent robbing U-turning bluff merchants like this old bag of an imposter or some one who actually cares ! Simple as!

Marginals can be won/lost on local issues and momentum in that particular area. I know it's asking for small miracles but if Labour can mobilise their foot soldiers it could make the difference in them clinging on.

To prevent a landslide the Lib Dems need to be taking everything back from the Tories that they lost in 2015. I could actually imagine quite a few of those seats were solid Brexit constituencies though.

Bit harsh on Corbyn, that. He's bad, but not that bad.

This only tends to be the case in by-elections. In a general election, people tend to vote for parties, rather than think of local issues.

It's going to be a big majority, the question is just how big it will be.

I see she has [Poor language removed] out of debating Corbyn she will just rely on the MSM to do her dirty work.

I really should warn you for sweary words, but for the life of me, I honestly dont think that one is actually one a UK filter would pick up.

The filter has filtered it mate which I knew it would which is why I used the word in the first place.

I fear an increase in Tory support in some traditionally northern working class Labour seats which voted Leave.

Hmm, I can see why those people would gravitate to UKIP but not to the Tories. After all, Theresa was a remainer- even if only a luke warm one.
