    It couldn't be going much worse for Johnson yet the latest prediction gives him a 90 seat majority.

    Incredible.

    It's almost like they're trying to lose ground because they know the economic **** is about to skelp the fan....

    "Laura Pidcock: “We recognise why people voted Leave. We recognise why people voted Remain. We are not the party of either. We are the party of both."


    Labour is going to try to cover both bases and in doing so leave them both wide open.

    It would appear Boris Johnson has been receiving hush hush money from Russian doners.

    Yes, the same man who just compared Corbyn's policy to properly tax billionaires to Stalinism.

    I'll be honest here, I saw their Brexit policy as being difficult to sell to the electorate but Corbyn has actually done quite a good job with it so far. If they can get a bit of momentum going whilst the Tories are still stuck on the start line they might do a bit better than many of us have been predicting.

    The whole thing done in 6 months line works. Gets remain voters onside with PV and keeps those just wanting it over with quickly.

    The trying to accommodate both sides might be received quite well by a lot of people. If that sticks and Johnson is still piffling on with his WW2 metaphors, Tory leads might dwindle as election day approaches...

    It's not that hard to construct soundbites around:

    "we're the only party that trusts the people"

    I think fptp squeeze on the Libs and Greens is inevitable and that might give Lab a bit of momentum (no pun intended) as the polls start to move.

    Being said on the BBC that there is still plenty of time left until polling day and that the tories will try and move things on as quickly as possible.

    But it's not parties that move these things on, it's the media. So surely it's the medias job to ensure that these things don't simply move on?

    So Cleverly says he was in another interview and Sky say he was 15ft away. Somebody is clearly lying.
    Given the lack of outrage on this, I assume Burley was lying.

    Their Brexit policy is actually perfectly plausible, sensible and reasonable.

    I'm just not sure it really cuts it in a black/white, in/out populist era.

    Brexit is emotive and it has managed to get England (where the vast majority of the UK's population live) really wound up. I'll take a bit of convincing that they wouldn't have been better of picking a side early on, sticking with it and rolling with a few punches along the way. They've looked indecisive and that is never good.

    Libdems not standing in Beaconsfield to allow Dominic Grieves a clear run, also not standing in the Isle of Wight to help the Greens.

    So much for Jo Swinson becoming the next prime minister! Throwing away a couple of seats to the opposition parties.

    They are def not throwing away seats. The greens will be returning the favour and they would never have won those seats anyway.

    It would be easier to arrange a mass amnesia campaign and pretend the whole thing never happened.

    Only if leavers believe that they would win the referendum. If they lost then we start all over again.

    Don't think the Brexit Party are getting the result they were hoping for!

    Labour would have been far better off sticking to a settled decisive position on Brexit. Their odds have lengthened again after last weeks shortening in. I don't think their fence sitting has been at all convincing. They'd have been far better off following the Lib Dems on an outright remain policy while vocally making the case for it. Instead they've boxed themselves into a voiceless corner on the big issue with their neutral positioning.

    Just one problem. The Lib Dems rhetoric over Brexit isn't remotely convincing either. That's what happens with a weak leader.

    Rent a crowd surely?

    Most tory voters are far too busy working hard to be dabbling in some good old patriotic nationalistic flag waving......

    I'm hearing that the tories are to step aside in East Dumbartonshire to help out their ally Jo Swinson.
