The trend is constant over the last week, however: Labour cutting into established double digit Tory leads in most polls. Not a surge, exactly, but even at this pace it'll make a hung parliament the likely outcome.

Still more narrowing needed for a hung parliament. Its possible obviously, but I'm not sure I think it will happen.

As long as it doesn't affect them, the tory voters don't give a feck.

Have you ever thought that the NHS is what Labour are trying to brainwash you with? Heaven knows, they don't want the election to be about Brexit.

Why are you having a go at Labour? The Tories have been in the last 9 years you know.

I think there is a lot of myth making around the NHS, and it's in labour's interest to propagate that myth.

Is the myth that people had a pay freeze for 8 years and so left in their droves?

I think most people that work in the NHS would tell you that 9 years of underfunding is having a negative impact.

Fear the events at London Bridge will bring a halt to it.

If this kind of a swing i possible in Raab’s seat then owt is yet possible.

I think most people that work in the NHS would tell you that 9 years of underfunding is having a negative impact.

It's had the funding the boss of the NHS asked for. You could very well argue that because community care is under the auspices (and budget) of local councils, which really have seen funding cut (unlike the imaginary cuts the NHS has seen), you'd have a point, but it's the NHS that is political dynamite so no one ever mentions that, even though my wife is employed by a NHS trust when working in the community.

Labour seem unable to pick up Labour-voting leavers.

[Corbyn] will also say that, under a Labour government, police will be able to use "whatever force is necessary" to protect and save lives.

"If police believe an attacker is wearing a suicide vest and innocent lives are at risk, then it is right they are able to use lethal force," he will say.

Trust some of you (not looking at anyone at alll) will be changing your level of support for this ‘murder’ inciting monster.

I hope the interview with Ridge this morning results in a discussion for a few days what Labour’s national security policies are and especially how bad the post-2010 policies have been, especially what has happened to the military.

I'd love to know how Johnson went from clearly not knowing what conditions Khan had (and trying to cover it by refusing to say what they were) to knowing what conditions Khan had in four or five minutes. Is he wearing an earpiece in his right ear?
