I would like to think that we are all more informed now.

Let's face it, a soft Brexit deal is far more likely to win a second referendum than any extreme position, anyway.

So Brexiteers who want to repair a shattered country riven by division should be supporting the compromise middle ground!

Plus tying us into certain structures would stop the commie socialist doing his worst, too...

It might do - particularly as you have persuaded to vote for Sally Keeble.

Only an 800 majority for the useles Tory incumbent who has done nowt in 9 years.

Northampton South will definitely go to Labour. Brilliant local candidate (who I know well). As opposed to the Tory from Derbyshire who is an ERG member.

There’s two seats that Boris will lose.

Agree - I work in Northampton and to be honest I was surprised it didn’t go last time. Keeble has done loads of community work especially with homeless and those let down by decimated local (Tory) council that is bankrupt. Child/Social services is non-existent.. not good at all.

Yes mate. It’s the county council that has gone bankrupt. Although Northampton Borough aren’t far behind.

Keeble’s has problem though is that she was a staunch Blairite. She is only standing because the alternative was a far left loon (not my words) so she had to stand again.

Social services in the county are third world. It’s a disgrace

Also Ian, my works at a school in Wellingborough (which I know is your patch). Peter Bone is not very popular (understatement of the Century), but as you know the wealthy farmers in the villages will keep him safe

I have to say that I haven’t ruled out voting for a soft Brexit myself over remain. I’d have to consider the details when known to make an informed decision though, which of course was always the issue with the first referendum. Leave was never an informed decision.

And that is exactly the problem. The wealthy rural villages ALWAYS vote Tory - so any gains Labour make in the towns (Wellingborough/Rushden) are never enough. To be fair the local CLP are out campaigning constantly, when they are on a hiding to nothing.

Gangs are a big issue in the young people. No funding or initiatives to deal with this problem. It’s coming through into the schools now.

So that, the Remembrance Sunday clip and Laura Kuenssberg tweeting anything Dominic Cummings tells her completely unchecked. Yet apparently the BBC is anti Boris.

I know a lot of people planning not to vote. Maybe this one's going to be a low turnout. If the WASPI women get organised quickly this could affect some marginals.

I genuinely don't understand that. It's kind of abdicating your right to complain about the government afterwards.

I understand dissatisfaction with all of them, but turning up and spoiling a ballot paper or voting looney (as over 40% of the electorate are set to do, tbf) at least makes an active protest.

Someone please explain to me why Nicola sturgeon getting so much time on the main TV channels ie 30 mins interview slots ?
All she wants to discuss is Scottish independence, not the election, and the SNP are not going to be on my ballet paper.
Put her on local BBC Scotland , not national TV.

Yes agreed. At least make the protest because it gets counted. Perhaps if the turnout is less than 50% the election should be voided?

He's doing what all British journalists should be doing and holding her party to account on its garbage record in government rather than allowing her to pontificate about breaking the union. I'm at the point where I'd be glad if even the Tories were to boot them out north of the border...

She’s getting more airtime on national tv especially the BBC this time possibly because a possible outcome of the GE is a minority Labour government with a deal with the SNP. The BBC doing Boris another favour as people are edgy about the SNP in some sort of coalition with Labour. But the BBC hate Boris and treat him unfairly. Apparently.

Trump was lambasted for commenting.

This is a carefully timed intervention by a foreign leader, with view to influencing the outcome of the UK election.

Should be censored.

Is that significantly different from the vile Patel wanting to press home Irish food shortages as negotiating leverage?

As opposed to not supporting a deal and then negotiating it?

And did you mean unable to make up his mind like writing two versions of a column one for remain one for leave or something else?

Come on man, if these are your issues you’ve picked the worst possible choice.

Face it, you’d vote for Gary Glitter if he shouted Brexit loud enough.

During an Irish GE where it may influence the result, yes.
And is that as vile as all the scare stories that have already been spouted?
