Anyway lads, been away for a day or so, hows that there election going, is Corbyn still favourite to become PM......

From what I can tell, everyone is going to spend gazillions more than anyone else on something that is utterly knackered, but everyone who uses it says its ace.

But I await their actual, fully costed lol manifestos with baited breath.

I generally ignore all of them. And/or dont believe a word they utter. I have been beaten into submission all things brexit, so just want it sorted. Johnson at least has sommet to cling to. Cant see the actual point of Labours stance, and deffo dont want another flaming vote.

Lib Dems are an irrelevance, as per. So what can you do?

General election: Farage claims No 10 offered Brexit Party candidates jobs to stand down

The Brexit Party leader says it is the "most extraordinary abuse of the whole democratic process", but the Tories deny his claim.

Farage looks nearly in tears as it apparently slowly dawns on him that he's now a complete irrelevance after bending the knee to the Tories.

....worst ever NHS results, a massive campaign bonus for Labour. They truly are scandalous but not unexpected as public services suffer under the Tories. This is a very dangerous Conservative Party who will say anything the public want to hear in pursuit of power.

Pity the 4 day per week target wasn’t thought through by Labour, it might be aspirational but the Tory’s will use it to deflect on a number of issues that are uncomfortable for them.

Although the NHS is devolved, monies that is shared agmonst the Kingdom is still not at levels of 10 years ago... Increasing ageing population less money being spent on NHS, there is only one negative outcome.

I don't know if this is THE reason for it but free parking and prescriptions must take a chunk out of the budget.

Although I believe these to be right.

Free prescriptions resounding success in preventing many illnesses requiring hospital admissions... It's better for the individual to be treated at home and without question cheaper for NHS.

It should be, but I don't think it is. As bad as that news is, I think a lot of people will just think it'd be just as bad under Corbyn, so it doesn't matter.

If you ignore the reception Johnson has had in Yorkshire, factor in Farages accusations of of Tory headquarters desperately attempting to get Brexit candidates to stand down, you would be entirely correct.

While I'm sure you could rattle off a thousand things that have got you to this position, it is genuinely soul destroying to see total apathy towards the way the country is run.

Millions are relying on the outcome of this vote to bring about real change but it feels like there might be a bigger number that don't believe in anything anymore. Which is a) sad and b) exactly what the Tories want I would suspect.

What a truly f'in depressing post. Even sadder is how common your viewpoint is.

Think you put it a little more tactfully than me there @samcdavies94.

I don't think the electorate at large care, because the opposition isn't a viable alternative.

That's the problem IMO. Everything bad that hits Johnson and the Tories, I think a lot of people are shrugging their shoulders. The polls indicate as such too.

Corbyn needs to somehow cut through. Currently I'm not seeing the same momentum he gathered in 2017 against May.

My memory isn't the best but I think a big thing for Corbyn that election was being able to stand in a field, before a gig or a festival, and get the attention of thousands of young people at a time, which was then shared again and again on social media.

The crap weather and dark nights don't give him that same opportunity.
