Not hard to spell when it's in front of you steeleyeyeye.
Fixing a roof yes.
Replacing just because you can borrow that much no.
Labour could easily work with openreach or the dentists with a smaller borrow/invest/advise/help.
But they want to totally take it over with no experience or knowledge.
Openreach and others say its nearer 80 billion to complete the installs everywhere.
That's my point.
Just because you can it doesnt mean you have to.

Yesterday Corbyn gave a interview where he sat on the fence on a number of big issues or simply didn't clarify his position. Not a good look if you want to be leader of the country. The voters are entitled to ask well what am I voting for?

If I was a Remainer I would be very suspicious of voting for Labour as Corbyn did more ducking and diving than Frank Bruno.

My completely unscientific take on the mood of the country is this:

Brexit voters are still determined to leave and will vote for Johnson except where the Tories have no chance then its the Brexit party.

Remainers must be disillusioned as the only viable option is the Lib Dems. My guess is that many Remainers will therefore grudgingly except that Brexit is a done deal and will therefore vote for parties that reflect their other concerns. Labour may still pick up reluctant Remainer voters this way and will do well in the cities. I also wouldn't be surprised if after the GE it turns out that Remainers stayed home in larger numbers that Brexit voters.

As for the leaders:

Johnson looks like he is in charge, love him or hate him. Johnson has managed to rid himself of the rebels in his party so he now has a united front on Brexit. Unless Labour can find some dirt that will stick he will be PM.

Corbyn looks like he is a prisoner of his own party not quite able to say what he really wants to for fear of splitting the party. Over 100 Labour MPs have signed a letter stating they will fight to remain which is against official Labour party policy. 3/4 years on Corbyn has the same problem as the day he was elected leader, his MPs don't want him a problem he had not solved and never will.

Jo Swinson - Who? She had hoped this would be her time as millions of Labour Remain voters switch to her party and put her in power. As I said above I think the Remain vote has collapsed so apart from the die hards I don't see any real movement towards the Lib Dems. They will do better than the 2017 GE but will they reach the 20 plus MPs they had just before Boris called this one?

Greens will improve on their vote and may pick up the odd MP (and there are plenty of odd MPs about) but with all of the major parties promising actions on Green affairs no breakthrough for them.

SNP will clean up in Scotland and will demand Indyref2 which is the next big crisis that Boris will face.

The rest same old same old.

I hope your right it's disgraceful that the SNP have been getting away with it for years just because they bleat "Independence". I can understand a Scot who wants independence just not the SNP. As for Alex Salmond well Ian Dale kept saying that the SNP wanted a GE now before the court case in January, sounds like that will be pretty ugly.

I tend to agree. Society is fatigued by the endless nature of all of this, and I do see the offer of a second referendum as a big political misstep. It feeds into the never-ending perception of all of this, and how many people have yet to make their mind up about Brexit? Very few. And so in an environment where there are relatively clear party choices for both leave and remain, I fail to see how many will exhibit much passion for the idea of another vote.

Certainly in 2017 there was a real shift as polling day approaches, but I don't think we're working with the same ingredients this time around. Of course I could be wrong, as these are strange times, but unless polling numbers shift in a dramatic way over the next week or so, it's looking like a Conservative majority to me.

Agreed and consequently I'm not sure where the additional votes will come from for Labour. At this stage, it's the Conservatives to lose.

Agreed if you are genuinely undecided about Brexit then Labour's policy makes sense, kinda. But you are correct most people have already made their minds up and just want it resolved one way or the other. Labour's policy then smacks of prevarication Corbyn would rather talk about anything else than Brexit as he knows he is stronger on the more traditional elections topics.

The problem he has is that whilst he can genuinely point out the Tories failures in the NHS, police etc. I don't think he convinces people he has the answer. You can have all the policies in the world but if the economy is in the toilet it means nothing.

Squeezing the rich appeals to people who are committed Labour supporters and the type of person who scratches a Ferrari with their keys (but they don't vote). I'm not sure it convinces the undecided as it smacks of jealousy.

I don't see the Greens adding any more to their single MP representation as their votes tend to be well spread across the country but never enough in any single constituency to win them a seat.

The exception is Brighton which is where the oddballs live and they are happy to vote in a Green MP despite the Green local council making such a mess of running Brighton and I say that in the knowledge that my own daughter is a prospective Green councillor

Rightly so.

The main issues are being identified by labour.

I don't think spouting 'get brexit done' or 'Corbyn is a marxist' is going down well at all.

Can't talk about their record, obviously.

Prepared for a shock.

A sensible approach after 2017. And British politics over-all is in a state of real flux with polling almost as discredited as Economics in terms of political science.

But who honestly wants more Brexit? Or thinks a second referendum solves anything? Watching Corbyn yesterday I could not shake the image of a man who is going through the hoops with zero hope of emerging victorious. The moment they committed to a second referendum was the final nail in the coffin for him and it will be nothing short of a miracle if they managed to achieve an over-all majority.

But other than that, all still to play for but I cannot help but think Brexit has done for them. I simply cannot fathom why they think a second referendum stance gains them a single extra vote. The ultimate act of political immolation for what?

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

Who honestly wants more brexit, as you say?

Hardly anybody, so revoke it.

As for 'getting it done' we are looking at 7/10 years, just to distance ourself from the EU.
