“We in the Conservative Party resolutely oppose child poverty; that’s why we want to see every child in full time employment”.
Aha.
This is age old conundrum which often causes confusion.
I would regard Friday of this week as “this” Friday, despite it literally being the “next” Friday to come round.
And to me, “next Friday” is the friday of next week, Friday December 13th.

Labour are fighting hard to resist sliding backwards in this election. While its true that their vote has firmed up because they have been able to leech support from the LDs - a trend that was always likely to play out - current projections are that they are still likely to lose seats, never mind win a majority. That is the reality of their situation.
Things could shift further in their favour in the next week. I do actually expect this to happen, but then it would not surprise me to see a shift back away from them in the last 48hrs before polling day.

Without 40 or 50 seats from Scotland, it is always going to be difficult for Labour to get a majority.
It is a bit of an indictment of Corbyn that he made a decision at the start of his reign that he would let the Scottish and Welsh parties manage their own affairs to a great extent, which has led to a lot of the problems he inherited remaining there in ways that they aren’t in England. The party in Scotland appears moribund and someone has to fix it, whether that’s Corbyn or his successor.
I just hope more of the Labour Leave voters realise what the Tories are going to do to them if they win - get most of that vote back and they (Labour) could see a path to victory.

In Wales they also have the issue of being basically a one-party failed state. Welsh Labour must be one of the most inept governing parties (left, right or centre) in Christendom.
Labour now to half railway fares - never seen that costed in the manifesto....... great if the country can afford it like.......

They are terrible, in fact it must be one of the few things that both North and South Welsh agree on.
What a Labour Council has done to Wrexham (at the cost of tens of millions) is shameful, though it has (accidentally) led to people developing community projects themselves and electing left wing opposition to the council, both of which are undoubted pluses.
Something needs done. It’s cheaper for me to fly to Spain than get the train to London. Even booking well in advance will cost me about £80.
Yes I agree, but how is going to be payed?
Economics of train travel though isn't it? Costs considerably more to get the train to France than to fly.
Yes.....and that is why I have given up hope of seeing a majority Labour government again in my lifetime.
Does the BNP still exist?
Just want to see how much closer to the centre their manifesto is than the Tory one.

I don’t know how it’s all costed to be fair.
In Portugal I can jump on a 4 hour train, 1st class and pay £35 on the day.

Their economic policy was always getting out of the EU and renationalising everything.
A very confused bunch.

If they did, we'd have a few 'non-Tories' on here defending them against Corbyn.
