So basically you’re saying that the jump in the polls is worthless as the Brexit Party has only pulled out of seats with sitting Tory MP’s so the earlier poll is the more relevant one. Interesting take.

A lot of papers claiming that the puppet masters are now telling Ferage to pull candidates out of Labour marginal seats where the Brexit Party doesn’t have any hope of winning enough votes. Could be as much as another 40 seats they’re pulling out of apparently. Maybe Banks is up for a peerage too.

They’ve lost Tory members such as Ann Widdecombe and Rees-Moggs sister just of the top of my head to the Brexit Party and as you’ve acknowledged yourself in an earlier post they’re forecast to take two votes from the Tories for every vote they take of Labour. Classic Astute, disagree with...

Same way as last time. Good campaigning on a decent manifesto. At the point TM called an election in 2017 some polls (with a margin of error) had her taking over 50% of the vote share. It’s a much smaller challenge this time for Labour than last so it’s more than possible. Unlikely to deliver a...

Looks like the fracking ban is a temporary hoax for votes Tories in fracking ban U-turn as firms 'could be allowed to drill for shale gas'

The real irony seems to be that no one was listening to the local emergency services last week when they said that they needed emergency pumps to deal with the pending emergency.

Apparently Lib Dem’s are now saying that they will field a new candidate in Canterbury. Shame really.

Labour pulling out of Richmond would be another one.

Pulled out himself I gather but the local party has agreed not to replace him so there seems to be a local agreement in place.

There’s possibly a few seats where this could happen on a local agreement rather than a national pact between Labour, Greens and the Lib Dem’s.

The Lib Dem candidate for Canterbury has apparently withdrawn from the Labour marginal and the Lib Dem’s aren’t replacing him.

Boris having a go at residents in flood hit areas. It’s not a national emergency apparently, it’s the residents fault for not listening to the emergency services. Nothing to do with pumps not being supplied when requested etc because it’s not a national emergency.

I see Nigel is moaning that the Tories haven’t offered to stand aside for the Brexit Party in any seats.

Apparently there’s a campaign amongst Brexit Party members and supporters to just spoil their ballot papers rather than vote conservative because Boris’ deal isn’t Brexit. It’s just possible that Ferage has put the final nail in the coffin of Brexit with his attention seeking.

How is the Brexit Party going to take remainer votes?

They should start up a breakaway Brexit Party. Something catchy like the Provisional Brexit Party or the Continuity Brexit Party :)

Just reading around the various papers and commentators on the Brexit Parties decision today and they’re all pretty much saying the same things. Basically that the Brexit Party is still on course to take two votes of the Tories for every one vote they take of Labour wherever the Brexit Party...

Talk about missing the point. If he leaves and takes his money with him we could be talking about a decimal point of his money that trickles down. His perceived contribution is minimal to inconsequential. If he moves to Outer Mongolia he’ll still be buying his Bentley etc. His contribution to...

In many cases it’s making them pay some tax so you’re defeating your own argument.
