She made a load of promises:

Strong and Stable Leadership
Not having to sell your house while you are alive
Hard Brexit
Ending winter fuel allowance for most pensioners
Removing the triple lock on pensions
Ending Human Rights Act

Surely all these are vote winners?

VERY CLEARLY! :thumbsup:

Funny to see Tom Watson blaming the media after spending months stabbing Corbyn in the back.

It's funny the old media thing on both sides.

Mirror, People, Independent and Guardian staunchly Corbyn throughout, especially once he had some momentum. Took every opportunity to slag off May and Tory policies. No balance.

Mail, Sun, Express and Telegraph - the mirror image but pro Tory.

The Times constantly snipped at May.

BBC and Sky News thrived on any Tory weakness and got swept up in the Corbyn momentum.

Perhaps the balance was right, but not by design.

Two more Labour gains from Con. Stunning.

Don't agree.

Guardian have slagged off Corbyn plenty, and indy have only really come round recently.

Farage saying a second referendum not off the agenda


I really hope so. Not because i want a diff outcome but i genuinely feel people were not educated enough by the parties about the repercussions. It was a hostile vicious referendum that did not seem to deal in fact... Let's have one one referendum now people are more educated to it. If Brexit still win then absolutely fine. However as part of the new referendum there should be more options; Remain, Hard Brexit, Soft Brexit,

Oh god please do NOT come back farage
