Interesting week for the Tories. Trump is coming to town just what they need. I have no doubt that Boris has told Trump's people don't mention the election or who you favour. The journalists will ask him of course just for a bit of mischief and Trump is just as likely to say vote Boris and we British being a contrary lot , well there goes the neighbourhood. Odd but Corbyn might find Trump his greatest electoral asset. One more point

I would think though from the polls that it's very hard for any intersection at this stage to change things in a big way. That said, we live in surprising times!

That said, we live in surprising times! Some polls show a decrease in the Conservative lead with one having the lead down to 9%. Once a lead is down to 7% this really is verging on 'Hung Parliament' territory. I did assert on HOL about a week ago when polls indicated a comfortable Conservative lead that we weren't going to get carried away at all. Edited by Willo (01 Dec 2019 12.08pm)

That said, we live in surprising times! Is Trump really that much of a factor now? People seem to have pretty made up their mind about him and I suspect that the same issues that supposedly made him unelectable are the same ones that is driving elements of the support for Johnson now. Yes a lot of hot noise but will it make any difference to how people vote? Brexit represents rebellion against the status-quo. Trump benefited from that and I struggle to see how he can harm Johnson in anyway. If anything, might actually help. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Couldn't answer any question at all so just kept talking. Largely repeating the standard mantras drummed into him by Cummings. If he becomes PM for a sustained period we are all fooked By the way, tell me where JRM has gone. It's not as if he is an electoral liability after all... So in the end we are left with a whole lot of nothing from the Conservative Party, on the basis they believe it's the best way to stay ahead.

The idea that Corbyn could even get close to beating Johnson or a hung parliament is about as realistic as expecting or hoping that the Tories could win in London again.....thankfully the demographics of London and other cities aren't replicated in most of the country yet. Once Johnson was elected Tory leader Corbyn was toast as a possible PM. What is going to be fascinating is watching what Labour do after the defeat......Will Corbyn stay? And if not what will the grass roots push for. Edited by Stirlingsays (01 Dec 2019 3.53pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

BJ on Marr reminded me very much of Blackadder's wibble plan. The man is a dangerous, racist, homophobic, working class hating buffoon. 'Lies to the masses as are like fly's to mollasses...they want more and more and more'

But the interview did make you wonder if Bojo has a mind of his own, I somehow doubt it. If he goes for the interview that he is not sure will happen he will get slayed, don't think his advisors will allow that to happen, but what is there to hide only they know,and don't want the voters to know as well.

As opposed to the terrorist supporting , anti semite, would refuse to defend this country, Corbyn. In that respect Comrade corbyn is the more dangerous.

He has answered all such charges in his usual eloquent manner. I could of course hurl vitriol in the direction of Comrade Corbyn but quite frankly I could write a tome about it and I really cannot be bothered wasting my time re-gurgitating what has been in the public domain.
