    If the election was on 'normal' issues, Labour would have a reasonable chance of winning. If it's all about Brexit, I don't think that's possible. A Tory majority is far from certain, though. Current odds 10/11 Con Majority, 11/10 No Overall Majority, 16/1 Labour Majority.

    Maybe it could be the Limps?
    Truth is Stroller you know that they are the clear favourites, thats why you didn't say 'won't win'. I think realisation is setting in...especially when poll boff on the news just said he reckons Tories are on 36-38% and Labour in 20's.
    Saying all that...it is still a risk. :)

    Let’s not also forget though Bob, He is also a known bully.
    It’s outrageous that the numerous complaints about his appalling behaviour, especially to women, has been swept under the carpet.

    There will be an investigation and according to some commentators he has been very nasty to women.

    For The Many Not The Few
    What a slogan!!!! <laugh> Just when the news says "Jezza's poll ratings are the worst of any opposition leader". Should have gone with Starmer.

    I quite like the slogan to be honest. It resonates with people over the issues of austerity and cuts caused by the Tories.

    You were talking about Jezza doing a good speech well he dropped another point after! <laugh>

    Have a look at the remainder Guardian poll.
    https://www.theguardian.com/politic.../oct/31/uk-general-election-2019-poll-tracker

    The best thing Jezza can do is stop talking and let the Tories cock up. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Thought you didn't believe in polls Ellers? Or is it just the ones that don't suit you?

    Funnily I was just about to post that polls can change and I don't always believe in the odd one. But when 10 polls say the same you need to start thinking they maybe correct.

    Jezza doesn't care about anyone other than his outdated political ideology. He is a dinosaur of modern Britain. Even me... I am a dinosaur of the modern Tories (although Watford would probably say I am one of the younger ones). Without a decent economy people in poor places will stay poor. Jezza would wreck the economy.
    I don't have the answers to help everyone out and neither does Jezza. Sadly people fall on hard times. To blame the Tories for everyones problems is wide of the mark.

    Johnson's Brexit will wreck the economy.

    That's something will have to find out. no one actually knows. What comes first is the election and then we will see.
    Bob will be happy... Boris has a new leave date of 1st Jan or he will cement himself into a cave.

    You can rule out it affecting tourists. The arrangement with the EU is they are all visa free.

    In around 2013, Cameron asked the EU for the right to be able to restrict numbers coming into the UK who were settling and claiming social security benefits. That request was denied, and that led to the 2016 referendum. So there are some of the benefits, right there.

    Spot on Goldie if they (EU) had helped Cameron, Brexit would never have happened. It proved back then that they were not interested in listening to us or change. When I see Tusk/Barnier and Co crying on the TV saying it's a sad day that we are leaving, they seem to forget the 'non , non, non'.
