Private polling of constituencies not showing good for tories (this is constituency by constituency and seems to point to maybe the tories are piling up votes in already safe constituencies).


"A Number 10 mole tells me that the private polling actually shows the Tories would currently win 💥287 seats 💥(YouGov. Sample 50,000)" @PippaCrerar

Boris Johnson rules out election pact with Brexit Party. Senior Tory source: ''Neither Nigel Farage nor Arron Banks are fit and proper persons and they should never be allowed anywhere near government''


That's quite the statement coming from the driver of the Brexit clown car...

And quite peculiar at this point in time. I wonder why?

The whole point of the "leaving the EU" referendum was to remove votes from Farage and UKIP and pull the right-wingers back to the Tory Party. Remain would win, the UKIP'ers would be shot down in flames, the Tories reinvigorated with all their former voters coming back from the UKIP / BNP / Farage wilderness and life could go on more or less as normal with the Tories quietly continuing to asset strip the country in the name of austerity.


Sadly.....


They're now terrified that Farage will take all their Leave votes. The remain votes have already gone to Lib Dem / Green and to a certain extent Labour which is why the Tories couldn't care less about Remain and are pushing their "leave no matter what" agenda because if they fail at that, all the Leave voters get fed up and disappear off to Farage. So now they're discrediting Farage as much as possible even though he was a useful ally to Boris in the Leave campaign.


The smart thing to do now is to revoke Article 50. Remain would all come back and go "oh, you aren't that bad after all", Leave can safely be discounted cos they're in the minority now and Farage can take responsibility for the ultra-right wing lunatic branch which should have the effect of showing him up for what he is - a neo-Nazi thug albeit one who is marginally more educated than the Tommy Stephen Yaxley Robinson Lennon lot.

Not sure any of this was written on the side of a bus....

Yellowhammer papers - worst case scenarios of a no-deal Brexit. Not quite the unicorns and sunlit uplands is it? Doesn't look like we've regained much control of anything. Not sure that "sovereignity" puts food on the table or fuel in the car or medicines in the hospitals...


Well done Leavers. Great work. Are you finally going to admit that you were all conned? Or do you still think all this is wonderful and just what the country needs?


It's like someone who has been conned out of their life savings or pension and instead of being furious, is sitting there going "oh well I hope the scammer has a nice time on his holidays with my money".

How are these facts? They are planning assumptions - short term possible downsides.

If you can read that redacted document and only see short term ?downsides? I fear for your sanity


Speaking of facts - regale us some more with all of the upsides now!


Oh and also - if these working assumptions published turn out to be true what will you do then? It won?t be take any responsibility will it?

?...Speaking of facts - regale us some more with all of the upsides now!...?

On the contrary, if you care to read the article you?ll see that she/they/the Eu are so worried that Britain could be successful that


?...EU sources have said that the UK will need to sign up to more onerous, level playing-field obligations than Canada due to the UK?s proximity and the size of its economy...?


Point is, project fear is for the little guys. The big players see the potential upsides and the EU don?t like it.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
