But you know what the most upsetting thing about all this rubbish is...?
The Tories are blue.

Aye, every country has its problems: its homeless, poverty-stricken, clueless governments etc.
The UK is actually quite sound overall. Nowhere near perfect but on average it does things and thinks things slightly better than most other countries. Considering the Tories have been in dominant power for so long, maybe they're not actually that bad.
People are worried that a Corbyn-led government will shake everything up too much. The UK doesn't need a revolution.

I don´t need Brexit to be anything. I´m just telling you why I think it happened. Biggest mistake Labour made was putting Alan Johnson in charge of the campaign. That wing of the party can´t win an egg and spoon race, never mind a referendum. Momentum should have been front and centre.

Man with 6 months to live 'devastated' after DWP ask him to reapply for benefits
Ron Stevenson, 69, who is almost completely paralysed, was warned his benefit payments could stop on July 29 if he did not reply to a letter from the Department of Work and Pensions
The more I see of this sort of thing I just think they have absolutely no idea of how many people.have to live. It surely can only be down to ignorance. People aren't that callous, are they? Even filth like Esther McVey and Iain Duncan Smith.

Come up here and I will show you, if you have not seen it in your own city...Bristol? until it affects you, then you are not worried? Johnson is a liar, are you prepared to accept him as your PM?

There's been 5 opinion polls out tonight. Three show a narrowing of the Tory lead; one no change; one a Tory lead increased by 1% (from the dodgy YouGov).
Taken together they show an average movement to Labour of 2%.
Thursday cant come quick enough for the Tories. The erosion of the LD vote to Labour is increasing with each day. By polling day I can see a big collapse in the LD core vote. The LD rank and file have a leadership they dont necessarily like and have seen a lot of Tories come in and parachuted into seats the LDs have a decent chance of taking. Their revoke policy has been a disaster and they have literally nothing to hold onto.
At least another 2%-3% coming Labour's way from that source. It may be enough to offset the losses in the north and midlands to secure a hung parliament.
What's clear now is the the Tories have flatlined for 2 weeks in the polls. There's nothing coming their way from now until Thursday, and hopefully Labour Leavers have a massive crisis of conscience and either dont vote or turn back to Labour.
All to play for.

Labour are running out of time. Polls are 8-15 points gap. Needs to be around 5 points to make a hung parliament likely. Tories were only a dozen or so short of a majority on a 2-3% lead in 2017...
The only hope now is a huge gaffe by Johnson or someone else senior in the Tories. Cant rule that out of course. But I think a small majority looks extremely likely.
I don't think there is any way that Labour will be getting an overall majority in this election, so any concerns you may have over their manifesto commitments are pretty much moot as they will never be implemented. The best Labour can hope for is a hung parliament with a pro-Remain majority. I will be voting Labour mainly because of this and hoping we get a second referendum. If you think Brexit will work out OK for the country, vote Conservative. If you don't, vote Labour or whoever stands the best chance of keeping the Conservatives from gaining an overall majority. Anything outside of Brexit is pretty much window dressing at this stage.

The 15% one is a crazy outlier.
It's an average coming down to about 9% tonight. It'll get closer this week. Then there's the margin of error of +/- 3%.
The LD vote is cracking open, and I for one think the Tory assault on LP heartlands is well overplayed. I dont trust BBC vox pops in those places. They are spin.
Hung parliament we're headed to.
