Re: UK Election June 08
Nice to see Mr's May in Wales today, what the BBC failed to mention is food bank use in Cardiff as just risen 20% in a year. I hope they made her feel very welcome

Re: UK Election June 08
Labour was opposed to the House of Lords because most of the last 100 years it was dominated by Tories. It was not until the 1980s when the Lords was viewed as an alternative opposition to the Thatcher government that Labour began to change its policy but mostly after an influx of Labour peers in the 1990s so that these days Labour no longer places abolition of the Lords as a priority.

Re: UK Election June 08
Today explains why Mays best chance of winning the election stays in staying right the fuck out of the way of any kind of debate!
She was an absolute disaster earlier. Corbyn ripped her a new one!

Re: UK Election June 08
Granted, I'm biased (and in my element), but what a truly dismal performance by the conservatives over the last week.
Clowning glory, Boris Johnson (as usual), #NastyPieceOfWork
Theresa May (finally comes out of hiding) on the Andrew Marr show this morning.
Wow, just fuck, WOW! (Don't take my word for it, look it up yourselves), unbelievable.

Re: UK Election June 08
One has to distinguish between the day-to-day and the underlying factors -the day-to-day stuff is that the 'Tory surge' has been halted, that Labour is not doing so bad, that the SNP is in decline and UKIP in crisis...the outcome at least suggests the Tory majority may be closer to 50 than 150.
On the other hand there is no sign that Corbyn is inspiring people to vote Labour. The best one can say is that if both are Brexit parties one can vote for either of them, but while Labour held on to Stoke in the by-election, they lost Copeland which they had held for decades. This suggests that Labour is going to get hammered, but that it may hang on to seats in loyal areas like London, Manchester and Liverpool while losing seats elsewhere.
As for May and VAT, Mrs Thatcher in the run up to the 1979 election said her party had no plans to increase VAT, and doubled it within a month of taking office. VAT is an EU tax, prior to entering the EU the UK had a 'purchase tax' so maybe someone should ask if VAT will be abolished when/if the UK leaves the EU and the Purchase Tax be restored, and how it will be calculated.

Re: UK Election June 08
I keep on saying it but; The BBC & mainstream media will ensure "The Tories" will govern this country for the foreseeable future.
Just for the record & I've never herd it mentioned on any TV channel but Copeland was a very marginal Labour held seat for many years!
Read on social media last week; The rich vote & the poor don't! Suspect the poor have given up after years of being kicked to death & the rich must go out and vote to make sure their wealth is protected! It does make sense!

Re: UK Election June 08
SNP will get a whitewash in Scotland. Ican't see any bigger party getting more seats.
