Or West Ham and Fulham.

An early election of course will prevent any by-elections forced by the Tory election expenses scandal.....

It is isn't that much of a scandal given Labour and the Lib Dems have been fined for it in the recent past.

Election misspending is part of the game, in the past anyway. It won't lead to the downfall of the tores however much labour hope for it.

Neither was the cup final either.
Fowler was left out.

I don't think there is anyone more qualified for the job.

He is claimed to be an idiot but he is one of the most intelligent politicians around.

I don't think he has done anything wrong since taking the role really?.

Are you kidding? He's a buffoon who has dropped countless clangers.

Yes he is a bit eccentric.

And he isn't a polished politician like the other Oscar winning liars.

I haven't come across much he has done wrong since becoming foreign sec?.

Apart from being a member of America's whipping boys on toppling assad.

Boris was instrumental in landing us in this mess. I still believe that his strategy was for the brexit vote to go the way of remain, but close enough that he'd have engineeered a top cabinet job for himself, maybe even the top job.

I am sure he is not an idiot, but what makes you think he is so intelligent?

That was exactly his intention. The ashen faces of Gove and Johnson the morning after when they had to face the press...they looked like they'd spent all night vomiting.

It almost sounds like you are talking about someone else. Boris has a long and proven track record of lying, making things up, covering things up in both his career and personal life. He has been fired twice for lying.

Unless your point was that is a terrible liar who usually gets caught, which seems at odds with him being the most intelligent man in the world.

I know intelligence is relative. What good is being world renowned mathematician without conscious thought?. You may as well be a calculator.

He studied classics at oxford. Speaks latin, french. He has published books.

That may put him out of touch with the common man and women but he isn't the complete clown many suggest.

He has far more qualifications and is much more impressive than the majority of MP's I hear from.

I wonder how many lies will be told between now and June 8th???

Theresa May was a Remainer, until recently. She's the least trustworthy of the lot.

BoJo is an intelligent, opportunistic and conniving man. He wanted to lose Brexit narrowly, then challenge for the top job. He'll be out of Parliament as soon as he realises he will never be PM. In other words, he is there to serve only himself. Not unique in that respect.

It was enjoyable to see him get stabbed in the back by the equally despicable Gove.

Yep the Tories are a loathsome bunçh. None more so than the pious and patronising May. Labour have gifted them this election. A year ago they were neck and neck in the Council Elections. Brexit should have badly damaged the Tories but Labour managed a spectacular own goal. By 2022 it will have been 17 years since Labour won an Election. I hope to God they have got their act together by then.

I hardly love him. An observation is all it was.

"Theresa May will not take part in TV leader debates - No 10"

I can't find the comment on this to quote but it is pathetic.

This is the only chance of the opposition taking her to task. There should be petitions of some kind for there to be live debates.

All my kids school inset days are gone for this year, but they will shut the school for polling.

How do I claim my 2 x£60 for the effect on my kids schooling?

Perhaps you could be more constructive, and suggest a few extra hours after school to make up for it?

Labour netted 209 seats and 27% of the popular vote in the disastrous 1983 General Election. The latest opinion poll puts them on 25%. Their support in Scotland has collapsed since '83 so they may have as few as 170-180 MPs on June 9th.

This could well be the lowest turn out in modern times.
I can't bring myself to vote Tory, and I got no faith in Labour, anyone else is a wasted vote, so the chances are I won't even bother voting.

So as the news filters out that up to 24 Tory MP's face being charged by the CPS for election expenses fraud we now see a primary motive for May to avoid a whole raft of difficult by elections. What a cochroach she is.

Gordon Brown only gave it a go because he was well behind anyway and had nothing to lose.

If he had been leading in the polls you can bet he would have found some way out of it.

Defending PM's who are already ahead in the polls have nothing to gain and a lot to lose from these debates.

They should be mandatory but that ain'the very likely

I trust all my friends on this mb will be voting for me.
