She's suffering from a long term neurological illness.
Did you not see the news today or have you genuinely just got no class?

Probably referring to the Survaation poll which came out tonight - but showed Tories with a lead of less than 1% (.9 to be precise). The other one out tonight, ICM, gives the Tories a 12 point lead!
Whatever the outcome, some of the polling companies will get it badly wrong.
Survation are the ones going all in on the youth turnout aren't they? At least they've kept it exciting but I'm not sure I'm seeing it.

Loads of polls came out today and one last one is due tomorrow. Tories have managed to stop the narrowing. YouGov bottle it late on and change their methodology to give Cons a bigger lead, which brings some sinister questions to mind. Still, you get the sense that they were right to do so and the Tories will get a majority tomorrow (I hope I am wrong). The only saving grace is Theresa May, who I regard as a disaster for this country, will forever be weakend by her terrible campaign and now people see her for who she really is.

"Played into terrorists hands as well".....are you for real?
And just to confirm you are in some way trying to compare her cuts in Police budgets....(which is wrong by he way)......to turning up and being arrested at a pro IRA political rally after the IRA bombed our city. And to this day refuses to condemn the murdering actions of the IRA....and before there's any issues....Jeremy Corbyn has categorically refused to condemn the murders of British citizens and Soldiers...fact!

How is it wrong?
Wrong....because all the while foreign aid is maintained at the same level and our national services...such as the Police..are having to endure budget cuts....then it's a simple argument....it's wrong!

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were disputing the cuts.

Have to say, I think the London Bridge attacks stopped Labour's momentum. It's now become an election focused mainly on one issue.

I haven't voted Labour in 20 years. I am today.
I used to be so in love with Louise Wener when I was a teenager. She lives round the corner now I think. It's taken an awful lot not to do just a little bit of innocent stalking.
Yes. Am I allowed to say how I intend to vote, given that we're now on election day? I've forgotten the rules.

Except when he said "I condemn all the bombing by both the loyalists and the IRA"
I should say that I did find the British left's IRA sympathies during the eighties fairly disgusting, but then I was equally disgusted by Thatcher's support for murderous regimes in South Africa and Chile and by a lot of supposedly patriotic British people's support for similar murderous gangs that labelled themselves 'loyalist'. Corbyn is a peacenik and, even as a leftie, I find this troubling in a leader in a world that does not always respond to gentle persuasion. I think there is enough to criticise him for without making claims that are easily proved to be false.

It's right/left - but given the choice I'm left right now, as I would have been in the 1980's. I have a choice though, and this man, demonised by many, has actually become a hero to me. I don't agree with him on many things, but his principles and the fact he actually seems to care about people like me - son of an NHS midwife for one - I admire him immensely now. The abuse this bloke gets, but the common tough principles he retains......he reminds me of a mutual hero of ours. In the meantime, I'm voting Labour, proudly, today. I haven't done in 20 years. I have my local Labour candidates poster in my front window too. I don't agree with Jeremy Corbyn on everything, but f**k do I admire the bloke more after this election. I'm proud to be voting Labour today.
