Most of us aren't in swing seats so we don't really have much of a say - which is another reason I don't think much of FPTP at the moment.

Problem is we are brought up to be polite and it's difficult to tell someone to stand back a bit.

I don't think he's shafting Corbyn - I've been saying for the past 3 weeks that a hung parliament is the best Labour and Remain can do (although as has been said it prolongs things) - there is no point in fear of a Corbyn majority as it won't happen.

yep - the worst GE campaign (probably not but doesn't feel right this time of year). Still expect a Tory majority but a hung parliament not out of the question. Cannot see a Labour majority.

The larger the majority the more he will claim he has backing for radical right wing policies with no compromise (and I don't believe he is a one nation Tory as he pretends - I could live with that).

We all do things that on looking back we could have done a little better. I almost got mine snatched through the pub window - the thieves know all the tricks.

What ? "Q: Today Priti Patel, the home secretary, is claiming there would be 52 more murders a year under Labour. Where has she got those figures? Johnson says he does not know."

Boris's comments this morning were nasty and mean spirited.

They're opposite me and they still often invite me in and I still make an excuse. (I think I said the same last year)

Is that Co-Op house or one of the other blocks ?

I got shouted at there once when my card got refused and had to pay at the customer service desk. The lady there gave me an 'oh she got you' look similar to the look Justin Trudeau gives the other leaders about Donald Trump so I wouldn't worry.

Don't know why it's made such a big thing of, If the BBC put on last years speech repeated would we even notice. Edit: It's actually when Tom Harwood suggests that his family group round the TV at 3:00PM that I realise how different his life must be to mine.

Strange how Corbyn mentioned he watches the Queens speech in the morning and everybody says Liar - she doesn't do it until 3:00PM, then he says oh you mean the 3:00PM recording. I wonder if he's trying to be clever and a rebel (maybe someone he spends Xmas with VPN'd to Australia and he saw it early)

Seems like they can postpone for 3 months https://thepeoplespension.co.uk/help/knowledgebase/employee-still-probation-can-company-choose-not-automatically-enrol/

I had to wait until after probation - but that was before auto enrollment

They're saying many thought she was a Catherine Tate character.

Some of the other leaders were bitching about something and it was obviously Trump. I guess they do it all the time - it's human nature.

Now this one was a car crash - Pat Mountain - the latest UKIP leader Crash: "Mountain presented a copy of the Ukip manifesto, which she couldn't actually reveal the contents of because it's not being launched until Friday." Bang: On Tommy Robinson "Because of his association with **other** racist parties, our constitution says that he cannot be permitted to join us" Wallop: On Racism "Have you got any black candidates?" "Erm, no...I think we've got an Indian?"

Stockpiling - surely not :)

I think some of the voters switching back to Labour are looking for another hung parliament not a Corbyn majority. The less likely Corbyn looks to win a majority the more likely this group are to vote for Labour
