I think we may well see some big majorities overturned this time .

I sincerely hope you are right but the Tory PR machine is well oiled and strong and all too much of the electorate still falls for pretty 3 word slogans........................ but sadly not this one:

Anyone But Conservative

that is per year.

not sure we can afford £2 trillion. Maybe we could sell Scotland?

I am sure much of Scotland would be quite happy with that.

I just think the Labour Party should have a massive dossier on the Torys right now .... They are showing they aren't capable of absolutely anything ..... even having a boat to keep the migrants in they somehow managed to screw that up so they are pleasing no one ( I don't agree with the boat thing by the way ) its just an example

The big ones to hope for are gove and spelling mistake. both  look likely to lose in proper true blue Surrey seats(I've lived in both).

about half of them maybe.

Actually we'd have to be buying all our energy from Scotland, so maybe not.

We need a boat to keep the MP's in - that will save loads of cash

Anchor it outside the Houses of Parliament would save an absolute fortune on expenses claims

I am not sure there are any parties not in government now that could make things worse so it will get better................. from a very very low base.

True, it is a fairly unique opportunity for Labour and if they can show genuine improvement then there’s a good chance they’ll get a 2nd term.

I mean he's achieved nothing but the hypocrisy in that statement is astounding when she's been awol

The whole Dorries timing thing doesn’t surprise me. If she quit when she originally said she would, she would have just been one of a number of MPs losing their seat at that time.  
 

Delaying it till a point where there’s no political news going on means all the attention can be on her. 
 

Good riddance, she won’t be missed.

yeah, she's really gone for it.

[steviewevie]

she's always been a bit of a maverick...but she kind of just comes across as a bit of a nutter now.
