Current Affairs The General Election

You dont think lib dems will be a factor in taking tory seats?

Nope. I think they will lose a couple in Scotland and pick up quite a few in England and Wales.....

There's gonna be some good old fashioned little Englander rhetoric thrown about for the next 6 weeks from Farage, Rees Mogg, Johnson et al and it's going to be thunderingly depressing.
I'm not sure what the answer is to combat this as this is so readily picked up by so many people. I'm hopeful more than positive that a campaign by Labour can highlight that the current state of the country isn't the only way, and there is a positive move forward with a second referendum and a country that doesn't just place the wealthy first.

I can’t wait to see the new ‘fence sitting and giveaway’ Labour manifesto.......

 

[Khalekan]

Corbyn to emerge as Prime Minister of a rainbow coalition.

Fresh Referendum and Brexit consigned to history’s dustbin by midsummer’s day

I see Chuka’s already had to deny a claim the Libs lobbied the speaker to not select Labour amendments over voting at 16 and EU nationals being able to vote.

Let’s face it Peter, it will be hard for Labour to come up a more “giveaway” manifesto that the promises the Tories gave at Manchester innit.

That Tory money tree is going to be stripped bare if they get a majority.

I agree, Boris has already shot that particular fox......

Brexit will rule the Conservatives. And unless Johnson parks his much lauded Brexit deal which he needs to do get have Farage vote. It's over for him, and Brexit... Labour are not so shackled by it.

If that is what the country votes for then so be it.....

Unlike a liberal to have one rule for them and whole set and layers for everyone else.

But this parliament was only elected in 2017. Surely the "will of the people" can't change that quickly.

not really - people will have to decide between a party that promises spending and tax cuts, or a party that promises spending and taxing the rich a bit more. One of the two is more believable.

Time for Labour to go on the attack and put the magic money tree line to bed, Tory party has long lost its status as the ''sound economics'' party

None of them are believable. Corbyn was voted in on a manifesto of supporting Brexit, at least Boris tried to do it.....
