It's clear to see that the Conservatives have gone with the old "you think we're bad? Look at what those guys are doing!" approach to their campaign.

you mean, ACCURATE?

Labour nearly killed the country, they will not get another chance. Thankfully.

Probably partly because the leader isn't pro-EU and partly because the party does fear losing leave voters like the Tories have lost remain voters.

Nobody has said this apart from you in an effort to create a straw man.
Being affected by a global downturn is in any event totally different to deciding to undermine your key trading arrangements thus precipitating a recession.


What are your thoughts on the Tory spending plans. How much do they come to, can you give us a figure as they've been throwing huge amounts around recently in an effort to win over voters?

Anybody fancy a prediction/guess at the result a month out from the poll?

I’m going to say Conservative majority of 35.

Hung parliament. Conservatives making up a government with whoever is desperate enough to play their stupid games. And the circus will roll on, and on, and on.

Just for balance, where is the ecconomy now, compared to when the Tories took office ?
Slashing and burning public services to provide tax cut's for those who are already well off is just morally corrupt.

I'm sure that you will remember Mrs May trying to justify huge cuts in front line policing and that we didn't require as many policemen, and yet now, they are embarking on the largest recruitment drive in history and for Boris to achieve these numbers, especially taking account of natural wastage, there would need to be 500,000 applicants - yeah, we're in great shape

There is no guarantee we will not be in recession if we stay in the EU - like it or not we voted to leave so what do the politicians do - just ignore the vote?

The Tories spending seems reasonable - they have to do something, continued austerity is not a vote winner but their numbers are at least believable - £250bn on a green initiative is quite simply lunacy.

The politicians shouldn't just ignore the vote but, when such stanch Tory remainers such as yourself, acknowledge that we could indeed be heading for a Brexit triggered recession, perhaps there is a stronger case than ever for asking whether, people would like to be worse off but, out of the EU or remain as they are and remain ?

At least we know that Farage and Boris have something in common, they are both compulsive liars.

No public election pact but, Farage has already broken his promise to "contest every seat" - I wonder what he will be doing after the election.
Mmm interesting ??

He has a habit of standing down after every election so, probably a nice cushy job in Boris's back office - no nepotism here though

Donald Trump told Farage and Johnson not to stand against each other, today they confirmed they will follow Trump’s orders.

Vote conservative, get a Donald Trump puppet, this means, lower food standards, lower welfare standard, chlorinated chicken, and more privatised healthcare.

More codswallop!

Lefty snowflake bingo.
