    He’s been a Leaver for decades unlike Johnson who has been one for three and a bit years.

    Rightly, he’s aware a no deal or harder Brexit would disproportionately **** up the poorest in society and isn’t willing to do that.

    Thats not actually correct because he went out to the EU when his old man was an MEP and wrote essays about leaving. Agree he also wrote stuff on remain but his old man confirmed he has always been a Eurosceptic. Thats a debate for another day because I think that the 'loser vote' train has been and gone. Boris will get a majority (just) and will deliver Brexit...although I am not completely happy with the deal.

    Again, your poll suggests that’s wishful thinking.

    Anything from 10+ point lead will get him a majority. So my wishful thinking is correct. (as poll stats 11 point lead). 8+ point with help (Brexit party) should also do it depending on other parties. Also you need to remember that he won't have any remainer MPs going against him now? (Regarding his deal). If Brexit party do well, then he can strike a deal to get a majority, that would bring back DUP, as current deal will be binned.
    I'm not a betting man but confident that when it comes to it, people won't want Corbyn as PM. My mate is a life long Labour voter and won't vote for Corbyn.... Like you he lives in Brackers constituency. Tories have double the labour vote... I've told him to vote Limps. <laugh>

    I cant understand why any Tory MP would want to miss an interview with the 'remainer Skeletor'? Best decision a Tory MP has made in a long time. <laugh>

    There aren’t loads of good decisions to choose from so far this campaign.

    Ain't that the truth. My mate was round tonight, life time tory voter. He says he could never vote for the Tories while Comrade Borisov was being paid by the russians or while Borisov was a sexist, homophobic racist. I told him to vote for the greens!:emoticon-0136-giggl

    All of them Labour, Tory, sNationalistp are having nightmares. That Kranky woman from the sNationalistp felt so uncomfortable yesterday when saying 12+% of party voted for Brexit. <laugh>
    What she should have said was more people in Scotland voted Brexit than for her crap party. <laugh>

    James Cleverly is the absolute worst kind of politician. A downright liar just like his leader.

    According to James Cleverly he wasn't booked in to do @SkyNews this morning - and he has evidence. Kay Burley's Tory bashing stunt is shocking.

    kay burley is the fake news



    Ofcom may investigate Kay Burley's 'empty chairing' of James Cleverly after numerous complaints
    Rebecca Speare-Cole
    The media watchdog Ofcom said it may investigate Kay Burley blasting an empty chair as she accused Tory chairman James Cleverly of refusing to attend an interview with her.
    The watchdog has received numerous complaints regarding the Sky News presenter's actions.
    Ms Burley, who has more minutes on live TV than any other presenter, said Mr Cleverly was meant to be in the seat but had not turned up.
    She said: "I've got an empty chair here. It was supposed to be filled by the chairman of the Conservative Party."

    Mr Cleverly, who faced grillings elsewhere this morning on a "doctored" clip shared by the Tories, as well as Jacob Rees-Mogg's Grenfell Tower comments, said he was being interviewed by Talkradio when Ms Burley made the remarks. He said he was not due to appear on her show.
    The empty chair "interview" conducted by Ms Burley, who addressed a vacant seat with planned questions for the Tory politician, has so far promoted 23 official complaints to Ofcom.
    The complaints are understood to relate to Ms Burley's claims and the empty chair gesture.

    A spokeswoman for Ofcom said: "We are assessing these against our broadcasting rules before deciding whether or not to investigate."
    Sitting next to a vacant seat which she said was "supposed to be filled" by the politician, Ms Burley said: "Where is he? He's probably 15ft away from where I'm standing just at the moment.
    "I've been in to see him during the break, he said he wasn't due to come and talk to us today, although they had said that they would talk to us."
    Mr Burley then listed a number of topics she had hoped to discuss with Mr Cleverly, including Mr Rees-Mogg as well as Prime Minister Boris Johnson's comparison of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to Joseph Stalin.
    "I know that Number 10, Downing Street watch our show," Ms Burley said. "I know that the spin doctors at Number 10, Downing Street had absolutely reassured me via text that when politicians were doing the rounds in the morning, they would be doing this programme. And yet, we have an empty chair."

    Mr Cleverly responded to Ms Burley's claims during a Talkradio interview with Julia Hartley-Brewer.
    "We hadn't booked in to go on her show," he said. "And I was sitting in this studio preparing to talk to you, as I'm now doing, and she said: 'I want you to come on my show now.'
    "I like to think I'm a pretty decent multi-tasker, but I cannot physically be in two places at the same time."
    Ms Burley later tweeted: "He ducked us on the media round but then said yes to my team when we tracked him down."

    That's a pretty damning statement Goldie. Let me know how you came to that conclusion and then I'll lend you my thoughts on this incident.
