The 2017 UK General Election Thread - Voting open today from 7am - 10pm

[Chris]

A variety of sources!!! Bit vague!

[Blue Eyes]

If anyone "sneaked into number 10" it was this vile piece of gooseberry fool. Look at her squirm. She's awful.

[Chris]

I wish this was longer than 30 minutes.

You can now get the same odds on a Labour victory as you could on a Trump victory. They are now in striking distance.

The Tories are actually throwing their seats away.

[satriales]

We get more answers in a season of Lost than that interview (and 50% less smoke monster).

[Meep]

Corbyn is trying to sneak into No 10 by the dastardly means of trying to win an election. Boo, hiss.


Since this is the first notable case of a PM performing a manifesto u-turn before an election, can we name it in her honour a la Portillo? "May-turn" or something.

I will be surprised if Corbyn gets in. I don't think it will happen. But I don't think Theresa will get what she wants, and this whole election will be an utterly pointless waste of money. Wibble wobble.

What interview were you all watching?

[Squinty]

What interview were you all watching?

BBC1 Andrew Neil interview with Theresa May.

[KK]

Tomorrow Andrew Neil is interviewing former Darts
World Champion Paul Nuttall.

I'm starting to think May is deliberately trying to not get a huge majority or even hand this to Labour. There's no way a Conservative campaign would be this much of a car crash - almost everything in the past few weeks has been the antithesis of how they've managed their party to power so consistently. None of it is in character for them.

[Moggy]

And we thought UKIP were the anti-science party.

Well the conspiracy theorist would say they want Labour to win so they can take the blame for Brexit being a disaster and the Tories will storm back in again in 2022.

What the F ing chuff are you talking about?

Since May came in they have been gaffe central.

Trying to push through Brexit illegally.
Brexit means Brexit.

This is standard gooseberry fool.

Papers so far...

Metro: Weak and Wobbly
Telegraph: Care cost chaos after May U-turn
Independent: May's campaign in chaos over U-turn
Guardian: May's manifesto meltdown
Daily Express: May listens to critics (main headline is Dementia)

The Daily Mail will probably go with something about Corbyn.

Nah, just ignore the whole election thing.

It wasn't a good day. If they get a majority they'll be no justice in the world

Boris being Boris I don't know how he gets out of bed by himself in the mornings.

That rag really is something else. Tories must have had a bad day when the Mail can't even put a positive spin on it.

EDIT: At Cuttooth.
