I've just spotted that my old next door neighbour has an article in the guardian.if it reads like she doesn't get British politics that'll be because she's Portuguese.

Rather goes to show that we can all vote with our hearts and Labour will still have a huge majority.

Get out and vote for the party you really want to win - no tactical voting needed this time.

The Torys are just throwing sh*t to see what sticks, with no thought of forming the next government. Starmer has flaws but I don’t think many people think he is lazy. In fact many of the voters the Tory’s are trying to get back voted Boris and he definitely was lazy!

These MRPs are ludicrous. There's no chance the Tories get under 100 seats. Happy to be proven wrong on later in the week though.

Depends on your constituency and whether you care who your next MP is.

If he said he'd like Sunday mornings off to spend with the family the reaction might have been a bit different.

Lib Dems could have some influence in next parliament...they could team up with lefty labour MPs against govt policies they don't like.

Exactly this - I've voted Lib Dems, not just to get the Tories out of government but also to get the hated Alex Chalk out of being my MP.

A lot of those seats in the MRP polls have estimated majorities less than 1000.  If 130,000 voters in the right place switch  there is a hung parliament.

They've brought out Boris to save the day

This is about who leads them into the next election after this..
