No, but Tories being Tories will revel at the chance for another round of back stabbing and will use the opportunity to remove him from the leadership for their own aspirations.You think Boris has any shame?

It does seem a bit strange, even kids in t'shirts. I have a scarf and a winter jacket on, there was snow in parts of the uk.I mean... I am no expert... but in that picture the weather looks quite nice? People are wearing t-shirts and sunglasses?
If Uxbridge is like this in December, it's my new winter getaway.
Split the European Union and break up Britain.But they’re supporting remain in Scotland
We know what the agenda is

Uxbridge must have it's own Micro Climate.
Agreed. I think most of my area (the West) will be SNP as you say, and Central is the area I'm most interested to see how they vote. I remember that story you are on about, about the SNP guy. Funnily enough I thought the same, that no one will know who he is without the party badge next to his name.It's going to be an interesting day for sure - probably SNP for West and East (and I've already been told three times this morning that I've given the Tories my vote because I voted Labour and not for the incumbent SNP dude in East, so there's that) but Central will be interesting as it's historically a Labour seat - old Gordon Brown for a while and he sealed it when he got a new hospital built - but the new Labour MP has been divisive. It should still go her way though because there's no SNP candidate (he had to leave the party after saying some rather offensive remarks a couple of weeks back). He's running as an independent though but I don't think too many people will recognise his name without the SNP badge beside it when they turn up and will go for Labour.
So....1/3 seats for Labour? Maybe two as my constituency was only 4% difference between Labour and the winning SNP in 2017.
Oh right. I'm gonna message a friend and see if he got them.It's stupid mental gymnastics. A lot of Hindus here don't like the supposed labour stance on Kashmir and feel it's against Hindus to sympathise with the situation in Kashmir.
He’ll be a broken man by the end. He’s got away with the funny and likeable buffoon act for too long. But the seriousness of this mess will hit hardYou think Boris has any shame?
Im not an economist but I remember reading of a US CBO study that disproved this and that said lowering marginal tax rates for the wealthy would lead to increased borrowing and higher deficits if not accompanied by significant spending cuts.Well you have to start with the basic premise that government policies influence human behaviour, and therefore that higher tax rates on individuals (and businesses) do not automatically result in higher revenues for the government. Indeed, history shows that high marginal tax rates on those in the highest earning bracket produces less revenue from said earners for the government. At a certain point, high tax rates on those with high incomes simply led to those incomes being invested in various tax-free schemes, with the revenue from them being completely lost to the government, and the investments lost to the economy.
It all depends on what the rate actually is in other words. The question that should be asked is whether people really prefer the symbolism of higher tax rates, or the substance of higher tax revenue?
All in all, I'd just prefer it if people were much more aware of facts. Then the rhetoric from either side wouldn't hold as much sway.
Tbf the tooth fairy has more chance of being PM than CorbynOh come on.
You will be trying to tell me that Unicorns don't exist either.
Next will be the Tooth Fairy.
it’s all true I’m afraid. It’s proven time & time again that those more intelligent didn’t vote for brexit yet it’s going to screw us all over. Also all the older selfish baby boomers How’s that fair .This kind of analysis is about making labour types feel better about losing. It isn’t a serious attempt to understand why they keep losing. I don’t think they really want to listen.
Dunfermline tends to be filled with retirees and old land owners sitting on their porch drinking G&Ts tbf.Agreed.

That's close. I'm worried about my constituency though, in 2017 it was the most closely contested seat in Scotland and the most close since the end of WW2. SNP won but Conservative were second by 0.5%, with Labour in third by a further 0.2%, so the top three split by 0.7%. I find it bizarre that the Conservatives got so much support last time, and I sincerely hope they do much worse this time around.
Exactly. You can't agree a deal in just two months.Tbf the tooth fairy has more chance of being PM than Corbyn
agreeing a deal with the EU within 3 months.
You're right about that.Dunfermline tends to be filled with retirees and old land owners sitting on their porch drinking G&Ts tbf.
BBC weather says its been 7 degrees or less in Uxbridge all morning and raining. So chances that this photo was taken today = 0It does seem a bit strange, even kids in t'shirts. I have a scarf and a winter jacket on, there was snow in parts of the uk.

His response - "I didn't but my Dad did and it's turned him I think. All because Labour voted to condemn India annexing Jammu and Kashmir forcibly. Plus two very prominent cabinet members are Hindu so it becomes a whole patriotic thing to support other Hindu's in spite of Pritti Patel being one of the most vile pieces of shit in the Cabinet and that's saying something. Gullible and blindly loyal."Oh right. I'm gonna message a friend and see if he got them.
I'm not advocating they do, however something clearly needs to change. And you know as well as I do, it won't be the Tories and their tactics.It's certainly not going to change if all parties employ these tactics.
For certain roles perhaps. But not in my role. If I decide not to work for 10 days, it would be unrealistic for my client to find a temporary replacement, just not possible.Was also going to make this point. If people are going to stop doing this extra work due to the tax implications on them, there are plenty of others willing and able to take on that work.
I would Kevin Keegan LOVE ITTTTTTT if the Tories don't get a majority.I'm looking forward to seeing your lot double down on the shrieking moralistic hysteria when you lose.
segways to the ‘Gary Neville is Dead To Me’ thread...

If you're referring to Johnson, he didn't agree a deal either, he just altered the 'May' deal very slightly to go back to the position the EU suggested in the first place which was to have the customs border in the Irish Sea.Exactly. You can't agree a deal in just two months.
That's presupposing he has any, which I doubt very much.I mean technically he could just be declared a lord and continue to be PM, but he’d be considered a laughing stock and would realistically resign out of the shame.
clearly not a polling station.It does seem a bit strange, even kids in t'shirts. I have a scarf and a winter jacket on, there was snow in parts of the uk.

We're not just talking about you though, are we? In case you haven't noticed, there's a whole country out there of c70million other people.For certain roles perhaps. But not in my role.

You forget you're talking to a Tory.We're not just talking about you though, are we? In case you haven't noticed, there's a whole country out there of c70million other people.
So, erm, what does that mean? Has it become less or more likely according to bookmakers? Is 1 in 3 a weird way of saying odds of 1.33? Shouldn't that be 1 to 3?
Haha - very goodLaura Kuenssberg has probably commandeered the BBC weather website. Stay woke.
Gareth Bacon?Haha, my friend (former boss) is the new candidate for Orpington. He's a good guy.
