Thank you the Telegraph tabloid tory rag.

Not a word of the good use Brown put to it, including the 35,000 new apprenticeships and bringing low paid people at work out of tax.

There is no loss there, except to city gold traders.

Gordon did sell quite low.

I'm pretty sure that the Tories will land with their 320 seats and Farage will mop up around 20.

That's easily enough for them steam roller through whatever they want.

No-one is going to stop them

There was no brexit party in 2017 when Corbyn ran the tories close.

Farage looks defeated.

Probably money, not enough of other peoples.

Was that the same election when the Tories gained more seats than Labour, SNP, Lib Dems and the Greens combined?

Nige needs to batter Labour in the marginals.

Let's hope he succeeds.

He'll need to make sure he doesn't split the vote in Labour marginals.

I predicted this at the start of the election. I think they will focus on Labour strong holds.

If Lib-dem/PC campaign for remain in Wales they are unlikely to take many votes from Labour. The Brexit party could do well here. Similarly, it could happen in the north of England in places wherenl the Tories dont stand a chance.

This is all assuming that Brexit will be the main issue on voters minds come polling day.

Ran close = lost.

Vs a party that was talking about bringing back fox hunting.

And when Labour was promising to honour the Brexit vote. Now though they are....LOL. A second referendum. Because that is a really popular choice. Just what people want.

I'm taking nothing for granted.
The manifestos have not been published, the campaign is only in it's infancy with over 4 weeks until Polling Day.
Could be a great deal of volatility with tactical voting, the splitting of the leave and remain votes etc etc so I don't see the result as a foregone conclusion at this stage.

Really that is tempting with so long to go.

Remember Headingly and Dennis Lillee getting such fantastic odds against an England victory, I think 500/1 !!

And look what happened.
