WHO IS SHE!!!!

The armed forces saw loads of their colleagues binned off between 2010-2015, in some cases just before they were due for pensions. Police officers have had the most savage attacks on their terms and conditions (pensions gone from 30 years for 2/3 pension to retire-at-60 and 50% pension, and ten years* of no pay rise, stations closed and many civil staff sacked - all without any meaningful negotiation or compromise). Even the old were specifically singled out in their manifesto in order to pay more. I wouldn't be surprised if the Tory vote amongst those three groups went down.

* 2010-2017, and a promise for no rise until 2020.

Thanks for that mate. Interesting insight. I am an interested onlooker and should be going to bed but I find election counts to be difficult to leave!!

And when you are branded swivel eyed racists by the remain side you aren't going to vote for the soft brexit party. A lot of kippers are going Tory this once because they see a Labour win as a threat to brexit.

But Mrs may hasn't a clue

Clegg under threat?

Oooh yes

 

[dandydan]

You think she will walk mate?

The Tories get the knives out quicker than the Roman senate.

[Lee Smith]

She's just buried her father apparently.

Had he died? Or is this another way of the Tories "fixing" our pensions problem?

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

Clegg under threat?

He only survived last time due to tactical voting by Tory supporters, on the assumption he would lead the Lib Dems into coalition. Without that it could well go to Labour.

A shame Pickles has gone then, you could use the "Ate two, Eric?" joke.

 

[nsno-chris]

I'd smash Priti Patel everywhere, the dirty Tory rat

Quite. But she is talking tough on the subject.

Not a great fan to be honest.
Where's JoCo when you need her?

The other girl who used to do the daily politics a few years ago, can't remember her name, blonde hair, tasty as hell.
