Not when they are making way vise versa .........in the North or any marginal seat so the vote won't be split.......

The suggestion seems to be the opposite Joe. That they will stand in Brexit areas where Labour have seats. As indicated this will split the Tory vote.

I'm sure the tories are relatively pleased they won't have a challenge in safe seats (if this comes to fruition) but this will do them no favours if they don't get a clean run in the midlands/north.

Er, @Joey66 That article doesn't say anything about Tories stepping aside for Faragists, only Faragists stepping aside for Tories.

wat?

The problem (or a problem) is that Labour's policies are so whacky that it seems unlikely that they will ever be able to command a majority, and they've done their best to alienate the likes of the SNP and LDs, who might have formed a coalition with them. Had they gone in with a centre left proposition and their current stance on Brexit, they'd have swept up the remain vote. Instead, they've gone in with a reasonable Brexit policy, and tacked on plans to ban private schools, snatch 10% of the FTSE100, bring the Bank of England back under government control, nationalise several industries, and generally do stuff that is scaring markets witless.

This will play very well in leave constituencies and many remain constituencies though Bruce. While you may not like the policies, they re very popular and populist.

I know there's a train of thought within Conservative HQ that the most anti-establishment wins this election and Labour have laid the gauntlet down really.

I have lots of concerns for Labour but the policies isn't one. Being caste as the remain party, the party of Parliament against the people would have been disastrous for Labour in my view.

While I'm a Remainer I think the Libdem policy of revoking article 50 without going back to the electorate is risible. It would be just about the biggest gift to the hard right imaginable. They would never shut up about traitors and stolen referendums and Brexit would hang around like the stench it is forever.

The only sensible position for Remainers to take is to vote Labour, unless they live in a Tory/Libdem marginal. If Labour get into power there will be another referendum with remain on the ballot and remain stands a very high probability of winning.

If Corbyn is not PM after this election, the dream of Remainers IS over. Done. Toast.

Whether they like it or not, FPTP means that Labour are LITERALLY Remain's only hope.

That policy from the Lib Dems feels like a clever move to them, but it's a big open goal. They had dominated the issue of the PV's and I feel they have jettisoned that hard won support for what is a pretty awful policy that will be torn to shreds through the election campaign.

To me they've panicked as Labour have pivoted to the PV position, and taken a view that if they just keep moving the goalposts people will slate Labour.

Unfortunately for them I don't think most of the political class will feel comfortable attacking Corbyn on having a 2nd referenda from the perspective of the decision should be revoked. I also think, most retainers will identify more with having a PV as opposed to a simple revocation.

You can tell they think it's a mistake because on interviews they are massively downplaying it and massively playing up their support for a PV.
