Current Affairs The General Election

[catcherintherye]

The betting markets are seeing lots of money come for a Tory majority this morning.

Even though their poll lead has been slightly eroded in the last week, I guess that as we move closer to polling day time is running for any bigger shift in public opinion that the opposition parties need in order to prevent Johnson winning.

Con maj: 2/5
Hung parliament: 11/4
Lab Maj: > 40/1

I think the Cons have been in that bracket for about 2 weeks mate. It's actually been quite stable.

Essentially Labour have clawed back at the deficit, but not in a pronounced way.

11/4 looks a really good value bet if you are that way inclined. I took Labour more seats than 196 a couple of weeks back, which looks fairly solid to me as well.

We ended up stopping canvassing after two of our members were brought to tears today.

Unbearable, this.

It's like watching someone you love die in a crash at slow motion at this point.

The anti-Semitism stuff is hitting hard, both internally and at the doorstep.

I'm finding it all very difficult at the moment, but the only thing keeping me going is the determination of spiting the bastards that are actively trying to disengage Labour members from the campaign.

Surprised at that. Can’t believe that smear has stuck

One of them, isn't it mate?

I'm going to put the X in Labour's box on Thursday - and will do it with pride.

We need a miracle.

Think it’s just the most mental thing to pin on Corbyn. I mean you could consider his policies to be mental, but believing he’s a racist? Crackers

Doing a disservice to an awful lot of people that. The only time I have heard Corbyn, or his chancellor, is when they have been on TV or the radio. I assume not under undue pressure to be there.

Maybe I am the only one who makes his own mind up.

It's difficult, isn't it?

I don't want to get drawn into the debate concerning the media. It's obvious that they act on the basis of protecting their class interests, and that's understandable.

But it is hard to feel anything other than anguish when you have to fight against that backdrop.
