Oh, at the moment, she's just up to desperately clinging to power.

Their new message - to warn against the 'coalition of chaos' - may work, I suppose, but problem there is that, if you unpick it, there was a fair bit of agreement among Labour, the SNP, Plaid and the Greens, and even the libdem. Doesn't matter, though. It's a warning to tories not to sit on their hands. It's actually saying 'maybe we're shit, but you don't want Corbyn do you, so you'd better turn out'.


Yep. That came across quite a few times. Cuts versus chaos. I know it's been said a few times, but the Tories have offered nothing positive. No hope. you need us never mind a vision. They have painted themselves into a corner. But a lot of nose holding, I still say they will win.

Admittedly I am in a bit of a bubble. Some people still like May.

I love the fact Ed Davey is the campaign spokesman. With his strong record in convincing the good people Kingston & Surbiton that he was such a good MP that he saw a 15% swing to the Tories in 2015 will serve him well in that job.
 
Well, I guess she could have said 'Hey Amber, so sorry to hear your news - no need to do that shitshow on wednesday night, I'll do it instead', and Amber said 'No Teresa, I must soldier on. You must get on with the important work of planning Brexit.'

But I'm guessing it wouldn't have been quite like that.
Could very easily have been something like that. Rudd'll be angling for May's job very soon quite possibly.
 
The tories aren't monitoring the comments on May's instagramm account - a real spunkfest of hate !

I'd have guessed that too but I wouldn't presume it no matter the contempt I have for them, I wouldn't take it that May made Rudd go on telly regardless etc
 
5 pages of commentary on a tv entertainment show masquerading as politics. I think we were better off when it was just in the newspapers.

Why was it that? fwiw I've been paying zero attention to this election up to tonight aside from being a trainspotter about the polls, so this was the first time I've heard any of them speak. It contained a fair bit of content, I thought.

Fair point - these should probably done as seperate threads - and as a bit of participatory / spectator fun similar to the live feeds on the newspaper sites.
 
Yeah but he grew up with a single Mum. He wasn't talking Preston down, he's a very proud northerner, he was talking from experience of having been brought up with fuck all money in the 80s. Of the three leaders, he's the only working class one.
he was a thatcher-idolising tory as a teenager - doesn't strike me that he can have been particularly aware of the destruction she was wreaking on the town he lived in in that case...

I dunno. I haven't watched tv news or politics shows for a long time. I prefer reading about what's going on than having to watch it through the filter of an entertainment show on telly.
I couldn't watch it without getting angry and annoyed, and therefore stop taking what is being said. Much better to read and take in at leisure.

Fair enough. I also normally avoid such things for the same reason. Tonight I was curious to see Corbyn perform having realised I hadn't actually heard him speak about anything for about a year. He's not an impressive orator, not that that necessarily matters.

Then he found Jesus and learned to dislike the gays.
