I agree.

That leaves a Labour-Limp Dem coalition or Brexit Party next GE...

and us remaining in the EU, either as a full member or a full member without any voting rights!

I see on the news this morning that the Fish Woman has gone to Brussels to ask whether Scotland could remain a member in the unlikely event that the UK leaves.

Silly woman!

Re: Lining Up For The Race, We Have.....

Hi

Tax cuts for the well off, increased NI Contributions stupid promises.

Have they learnt nothing?

Look at the maps of the Brexit referendum, the Leave Vote has highest in traditional Labour Areas, people fed up with austerity, low wages, zero hours contracts.

People cannot get a GP Appointment.

The worse thing is a bad Brexit and an early election, then we will have Corbyn.

For an increasing number of people Labour ARE a sensible choice. In many marginal seats they are a very desirable choice.

If I was even ten years younger I'd be planning to leave the UK. If I was twenty years younger I'd have already left.

As it is by the end of this week I'll have put my house out of harm's way then there'll be nothing that an incoming Labour government can get their hands on.

Rory Stewart is being backed by the odious Kenneth Clarke and Amber Rudd. What does that tell you?

You virtually wrote what I was going to say.

They are spewing out their usual pre-election rubbish that we hear so often but which never amounts to anything good. I'm not even sure why the media is full of, it's not like we can vote for them.
