And yet when they were initiating the deepest cuts to Social care, public services and welfare

Except we weren't were we, they chose that exact moment to implement a 5% tax cut for the
Country's highest earners, their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

They have hardly actually made any cuts to the bloated welfare state. The biggest lie is the Tories actually have made any inroads in this area at all. May despite the bollocks on here is a Liberal at the left of the Party. Always has been and a europhile.

If she's on the left Christ knows what the right is like. Leadsom and Rees-Mogg, good googly moogly.

Particularly enjoy her liberal views on the European Constitution on Human Rights.

Voted Labour, at least I've done my bit to try and prevent the privatisation of the health service and trying to address the ever growing inequality within British society.

Genuinely didn't know who I was going to vote for until I went in. Went for Labour in the end. I quite like their policies even if I don't like the leader.

That's horrendous. They should have at least stayed in their dressing room. Unbelievable that they were carrying on warming up while the minutes silence was going on. So disrespectful. Fair play to the loan Saudi player who took part. Probably get stoned when he gets home for that.

get the yellow pages out tomorrow, ring up any school at random and ask the head master, is it true you haven't had to make any cuts!
Ask anyone who works in the NHS, see what their response is.
Then anyone on benefits, and finally tell every Chief constable in the UK they're liars.

So, what's the odds on a Labour win tonight/tomorrow?

Wonder what the odds were on Brexit, Trump and Labour all to win?

I'm losing 2 nil at the moment on my selections... :emoji_open_mouth:

I wouldn't trust teachers to tell the truth. When sats were introduced, the school my son was at had a parents evening to explain it all. More like to whinge about it all, and to cap it off, they lied to us when expressing how much extra work it was for them. Each teacher stood up and gave his assessment of it. I did a running total in my head of what they told us, and when they gave their "total" it was more than double what it should have been. If looks could kill, I'd be dead now from the stares I got from them when I stood up and questioned it.

I guess asking for the Maths teacher to explain it, and suggesting it's no wonder they don't want our kids tested, didn't help. left wing militant labour voters the lot of them

Not draining your underfunded nhs then whilst still contributing. You should say thank you rather than sneering

It's happened. I think Grendull and Astute have convinced be to switch my vote from Tory to Labour.

When those that shout the loudest can only come up with a misunderstood smear campaign as an argument to why you shouldn't vote for said party instead of arguing the manifestos you have to question why. So I've read and reread both Tory and labour manifestos numerous times now and while both have have details I like and dislike when I read the manifestos in isolation ignoring the colour of the party and on balance the Tory one is just so negative and based on fear whereas the labour one is positive and based on hope.

I think it was Barack Obama who said in his first election campaign that do you want to vote for a president who panders to your fears or a president who panders to your dreams, or words to that effect. And I'm finding myself drawn to that notion.

I wasn't. I've only voted labour once in my life and that was Tony Blair's first election. Voted Lib Dem once and Green once. Aside from that I've pretty much always been a Tory voter and was fully planning to do so again this time. Until I started reading the manifestos a couple of days ago.

there's a lot of good stuff in the tory manifesto, problem is they are actively working against their stated aims as we speak.

He doesn't need our thanks. He'll be thanking Mrs May instead when she cuts his higher rate tax bill. Hope he enjoys the queue jump while the plebs wait months and the private room when some are stuck on trollys in corridors. Fair play to him if he can afford to go private - most of us unfortunately can't.

I'll be shocked by anything less than a tory majority of 30, I think more nearer 40.

But who to watch? Can't bear to see Kuessenberg but Sky is owned by Murdoch so it's not exactly going to be balanced is it...

Voted for the Independent lady.

I honestly couldn't decide. I thought at least instead of voting on something I wasn't sure of, or spoiling my ballot paper I could make someone feel good about themselves.

Channel 4 has Paxman, David Mitchell and Richard Osman. Could be OK. But you're correct there's not a great deal of choice.
