May has been banging on for weeks about strong and stable leadership. We've seen neither.Quote:

Closet Tories come out with your hands up, we have the place surrounded :biggrin:
She had a majority over Labour of nearly 5,000 in Hastings and Rye two years ago. Her losing - and she's gone into hiding with a massive sulk, it seems - could be the shock of the night.Quote:

Gower was a stupidly small majority for the Tories in 2015, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it go back to Labour.Quote:
