They said they’ll shut down private schools.

Shut them down, or move them to the State System.

What's that got to do with anything? Are you suggesting that no jewish people will be voting for Labour in this election?

Not all jews are duped by the anti-semitism myth.

20% of the jews in the UK live in Barnet have a look at what's happened to Labour's vote there.

Prices are going up because we are not building enough houses. Demand is rising due to the massive increase in Edinburgh’s population which increases competition for property. Until they free up the planning system and allow more house building then it will continue.
Landlords don’t really set prices, they accept them. The market sets them. There are plenty places in Britain where rents haven’t gone up in years.

Prices went up largely because of the low cost of borrowing including lending to buy-to-let landlords. Supply and demand is a factor as well but cheap money was the main driver. Read Toby Lloyd on this.

Same could be said for areas where there are next to no jewish population. Now all jewish people living in the UK are taking orders from the zionist apartheid Government in Israel.

With regards to housing, the current UK government certainly haven't gone out their way to help it seems......

Tories haven’t really got out of the traps yet. Maybe as crap a campaign as under May!

Jacob Rees-Mogg: I think I may have said the worst thing possible about Grenfell.

Andrew Bridgen: Hold my sherry.

They're all ****ing nuts and have completely lost the plot. Amazingly though, they speak for a lot of people who are equally nuts.

It’s former SNP councillor Elspeth Maclaughlan.
She was deselected at the last council elections (for very good reasons imo), and has been grinding an axe ever since. She ran as an Independent for the council elections, but has since got in tow with the Greens. I suspect she will also be the Greens candidate for the next Holyrood election, and then the council elections, until such time as she gets elected.

Hi Stevie. I discovered she was the candidate yesterday and to be honest I think the Perth branch has made a mistake.

I don't think Pete wishart is a great mp but it's a straight forward snp or tory seat so I imagine the libdems and Labour voters will be voting tory again to try and oust wishart. Which means any indy supporters in Perth and North perthshire need to do the same and vote snp.

That was a ****** dumb policy. Nobody knew how it was supposed to work and hardly any local authorities put planning policies in place to allow it.

The whole idea was ignored from day one. I can’t believe they consulted the industry about it. Cameron must have dreamt it up on the hoof.

Someone said today that it wasn’t official yet, and there was talk of emails coming in from Green Party members saying not to field a candidate.
I guess they realise what is at stake and don’t fancy the idea of a Tory MP for the area.

Two quotes from two different sources ...

“The news article was premature and no decision has been made about a Green candidate standing.
Majority of Green members surveyed via email (so far) have indicated they do not want a candidate to stand against SNP”

“There is a very strong possibility that the Green candidate will not be standing in Perth. The membership are not happy. I’ll be able to tell you more tomorrow night. I also understand that the Brexit party have a candidate lined up.”

You know things are pretty ****ed up when you have Labour voters voting Tory.

Only it’s not really true is it? People change their vote from election to election. I’d wager that 99% of people who still identify as Labour voters will vote Labour.
If Pete Wishart can’t retain his seat (I think he will) it will be because the local electorate think he doesn’t best represent their views. The cries of foul at a rival party daring to stand a candidate against him are reminiscent of the arrogance and sense of entitlement that saw the once dominant Labour Party start to decay.

[Cataplana]

Well Billy that was real Keystone Kops stuff from the Tory defence! First Rees-Mogg gets caught in possession, then Budgen makes the situation worse running into his team mate.

That's right Richard, keep that up and even a weak attack like Labour are sure to find the goal eventually.

Many Labour voters I spoke to after the 2017 election were ****ing delighted the SNP had haemmoraged seats to the Tories, despite those seats actually keeping them in government.

It looks like Johnson is going straight in to full on Trump mode comparing Corbyn to Stalin on the first day of official campaigning. I think we can forget about reasoned debate from him.

[Hibrandenburg]

Kay Burley on Sky News fuming because senior Tory (sorry not sure who) refused to take the chair after being presented with a list of questions she wanted to ask him on camera. Apparently he's only 15 feet away from her in the studio but refuses to face the camera so she fires the questions at the empty chair. Although I really can't stand her (not sure if that makes me a wife beater or not) but doth my hat to her for her tenacity.

Don't think he's really got reasoned debate within him, has he? It's just endlessly repeated slogans, taunts, finger jabbing, Latin bon mots, loadypish really.

The reply to that calling Burley left wing.

James Cleverly - if ever there was an argument against nominative determinism, he's it.

Listening to the radio this morning, the Tories are having an absolute disastrous day.

You think they're in the low 20's because they're scaring people who would never consider voting anything other than conservative anyway?

Erosion of what right? The right to buy up hundreds of properties and charge overinflated rent? Landlords should either be limited to the amount of properties they can own and rent out, or there should be a cap in place to stop them charging extortionate rent rates for people who are desperate for a roof over their heads.

Can't argue with that. This is my landlord

My rent would make an Eldinburgh residents eyes water

[Andy Bee]

John McCdonnell last night on LBC about the right to buy for private tenants policy, "after consulting with a lot of people, particularly in my constituency, particularly a lot of the Asian community where they've said we do have another property we let out to family or to top up our pension and we feel disadvantaged with this, so I said OK we'll drop it, I understand that completely so we'll drop it".

A win for the middle classes?

So Cleverly says he was in another interview and Sky say he was 15ft away. Somebody is clearly lying.
