Current Affairs The General Election

It's the hope that kills you.

Or Boris Johnson, I guess

*hope he's still hiding in the 'fridge rather than threatening integrity of UK

Imagine the writers meeting at the thick of it.

“We could get Ben to hide in a fridge to avoid an interview”

“Come on now, let’s keep it slightly realistic”

I think we are all being harsh on Boris Johnson, especially judging him on previous mistakes.

We need to remember this a new version, the original having died in a ditch on November 1st.

lol lol lol

Pre-election plunge for the speculators. I suspect the interest rate news from the US has more of an impact today, and our election less even than the US-China trade tariffs announcements on Friday.

.....my Labour candidate is an ex-Union official with a record of tweeting ‘wives of Everton fans need to lock themselves away from their husbands after their team loses’. That’s the quality of candidate Labour select for high office.

Regardless, I’ll be voting for Ian Byrne in West Derby.

Complain about him. It's not acceptable behaviour.

...I actually sent him an e-mail a few weeks ago saying we need people with better values representing us in high office. To be fair, he responded saying he’s publicly apologised for those comments.

He sounds 'kin thick: annoy half your potential support base.

The Tories have lost the momentum. The Brexit message looks tired and desperate.

I dont see the Labour Leave north being inspired to vote for 5 more years of the Tories. Those that can be arsed will vote with Farage or stick with Labour....more will stay at home.

For months Ive said hung parliament. It will be.

i think this will be key, they will lose votes...but will those who have said they would vote tory actually bother? i'm not so sure

I think the prospect of another hung bloody parliament is enough to worry people. Sadly it seems like the thing it was supposed to sorry hasn’t been sorted at all.

Will be another referendum by summer.

It will be interesting to see what effect, if any, the weather has on turn-out. It looks like rain for most of the day for most areas. Back in the day it was always reported that the traditional working class Labour voters were the ones who were most likely not to bother voting. Bizarrely, if that happens this time it could actually end up favouring Labour, particularly in the north. Strange times.

I think we know more than enough now for a second referendum to be considered acceptable. I'm not even touching the whole performance of our parliament and system of government in not being able to make an actual realistic attempt at making a Brexit a reality.

In 48 hours or so's time...

@peteblue has shown admirable restraint this whole time.
