Independent: Jeremy Corbyn 'likely to stay on' even if Labour suffers crushing election defeat

That's delusion at it's finest

[Lachi]

As many as 100 LAB MPs set to walk out, form their own breakaway group if Jeremy Corbyn stays on as a leader after a “Tory landslide,” Telegraph says, without saying where it got the information.

The thing there is that it was the Telegraph that published it, and considering it's there with no sources, I would look into it deeper than just seeing it like that.

Theresa May wants to create new internet that would be controlled & regulated by government

This is actually terrifying

[Lachi]

poll drop took place BEFORE terror attacks

Who are Rudd and Abbot Is it Kev and Tony?

[Lachi]

I found this picture, which I found rather amusing

[Lachi]

I wonder whether all this new momentum for Labour could start having any impact in Scotland and start moving unionist votes back to Labour from the Tories in which case Labour could pick up half a dozen Scottish seats. Just wondering

I don't think it will, considering how huge the SNP base was to begin with. I think we would need to se a new scotland regional poll to confirm any questions though.

Omg, you excpect us to take THAT sh*t seriously?

Omg Pete, you excpect us to take THAT sh*t seriously?

Lol, Guido fauxes "blog" is full of conspiracy, and even goes as far to call other labour members "co-conspirators"

[Lachi]

To quote a reaction from the debate "Paxman is a much better interviewer when he shuts the f[inks] up"

[Lachi]

I have averaged out all of the polls taken over the last week, and I am seeing that the potential gains that the conservatives had are all but gone, except in Scotland, which is where I think most of the action will be next Wednesday, although there will be quite a few in England that will be interesting.

[Lachi]

The polls should really be averaged out for a more clearer picture, as over the last week we have seen polls showing results from all over the place, from the CON+4 YouGov poll, to a ICM/Sun poll showing the Tories ahead by 14.

[Lachi]

I've had limited news for the last two weeks - how did Labor suddenly rise from the dead?

The tories have had an absolutely horrid, and abysmal campaign

[Lachi]

young people LOVE corbyn...and are not going to vote.

Yes, BECAUSE THEY HAVE EXAMS TO WORRY ABOUT!!!
Puting the election right in the middle of exam week was a dick move, and probably done that way to make sure the CONservatives would win.

Voting takes 10, 20, at most 30 minutes. Students aren't stuck in an exam room for the entire exam season. It's a poor excuse.

Yes, but what will be a higher priority for a student? Voting, or studying for other exams? Surely you can't say that studying is a poor excuse during exam time?

[Lachi]

I averaged out all of the polls since the Manchester bombing, and this is the result I have got.

CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY OF 4

CON: 327 (-3), 40.8%
LAB: 240 (+8), 34%
LIB: 9 (+1), 7.6%
SNP: 50 (-5), 4%
UKIP: 0 (-1), 4.2%
GRN: 1  (0), 1.4%

[Lachi]

Ideally for May, she would want, at the least, to have a slightly better majority, but I believe that she would be fine if she had any type of majority.

[Lachi]

While I would like to see a hung parliament, I think that the tories will probably get a majority of around 10-15, with most of the gains being gains from the SNP, with Labour MAYBE picking up a few seats.

I don't know if this was posted yet, but this article explains the context to things used in the latest attack ad

I'm clear: if human rights laws get in the way of tackling extremism and terrorism, we will change those laws to keep British people safe.

Absolutely disgusting. Civil liberties should NEVER be compromised.
