This is interesting...

In keeping with the trend in earlier polls but would only result in a small change in seats the pollsters say: CON 3 (+2), LAB 0 (-1), LIB 0 (-1), UKIP 0 (+0), Green 0 (+0), SNP 56 (+0).

Just watching Corbyn on the Andrew Marr show - the longer he keeps talking the more seats are going to Theresa May.

I think the Scots are dreading another referendum it was long drawn-out and bitter, but that does not mean they do not want independence.

Why not just say to the people if you vote for me that is a vote for independence.

Who needs referendums.

I see your intolerance has not mellowed with age, Willo, as is also the case with so many other of your fellow Tories!

Kettle, pot and all that blackness.

The left and tolerance is a hilariously rare combination....Unless you're a 'repressed' minority of course.

Not so many 'classical free speech' Liberals around anymore in this country....Even May with her 'hate speech' laws pisses me off.

It's this little thing....called democracy....You know the majority of people having a say on the direction of their country.

You might of heard about it....or perhaps being a EU supporter and soon to be leaving European....perhaps not.

That is exactly what the Scots would get they will choose at a general election.

General Elections are not advisory like brexit.

Funnily enough,Stirling,people of a differing ethnicity and tolerance are three words that do not trip off the tongue together...

Does anyone know if Corbyn extra bank hi idea is an extra day off or because of the minimum holiday rules does it mean that it's part of existing holiday allowance?

I would have thought it would be better to remove May day.

It's an attempt at a Trump-esqe populism. He has already said he is the 'anti establishment' candidate and now is attempting to curry favour through extra bank holidays.

Maybe he should try and explain how his bats*** policies would be paid for.

There is precious little to offer the voters at this election at least this is deliverable and its a harmless ray of sunshine.

Erm Corbyn and Mcdonnell both said the Labour Manifesto would be fully costed. Do keep up.

There is a lot to offer voters this election.

Delivery of a clean Brexit, as voted for by the people, and rejecting a 'progressive' coalition of lunacy that would ruin the economy and lives.

The Tories need to be kept in check, hence that's why after they get slaughtered, UKIP must get their act together as they are the only credible opposition in the country. Labour, the Lib Irrelevants and the SNP aren't credible opponents and don't keep the government in check or influence government policy. Thank goodness Nigel Farage did and continues to do so.

My concern is only that it's not extra holiday at all. All it is forcing us all to be on holiday at the same time.

Not three words, two words and a phrase.

It's amazing what I have to tolerate.

I know. He is an MEP and will do his best to ensure that the British people get the clean Brexit they voted for.
