Current Affairs 2017 General Election

As decent a campaign as Labour have had up until now, they could be undoing a lot of that work in the last 24hrs. That Lyn Brown story is going to go viral and cost them plenty.

To suspend the Human Rights Act, Theresa May would have to declare a state of emergency apparently.

While it's bad, it happened 6 years ago and was quite widely reported at the time, so I doubt it will.

 

[Mrk]

This is amazing.

I hope they go with something like:

THERESA OUT. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. WE WANT SUCCESS. #NSNO

Ahh. OK. Thought it was today. My bad. Not good, but old news is never as damaging and all part of the mudslinging that goes on during campaigning.

Thought that was today. Mad how things can get dragged up and made to look like it was now

If this isn't true about Abbott, then it's serious gutter politics. I obviously hope she isn't unwell, but if she is OK, then this sort of nonsense is downright disgraceful.

I think it's best to take their word for it and assume she is ill.

That's politics for you!

Rumour is that Abbott is a diabetic in regards to her "illness".. which is quite likely true just judging from her appearance.
I don't wish ill health on anyway, but you all know how I always go on about refined carbs, food pyramid etc and type-2 diabetes being a self-inflicted disease..

Evening Standard also now declaring for Tories. Won't make much difference in London.

Well that is hardly news given who the editor is.

First time I've bothered to vote but going for labour tomorrow, Corbyn's not perfect but May is surely unelectable, crap home sec and typical silver spoon Tory out of touch.

He's absolutely trashed her for weeks, I was wondering actually if they'd remain non-committal

Don't underestimate how much he hates her

Nope it definitely won't. The rest of the country won't be a good day at all for Labour, but their London results will be excellent.
