Because she's so weak they think it'll be an easy ride?
Possibly (or should I say Maybe?). More like she is only show in town so they have to deal with her. I shall be interested to see if the 13 Scottish Conservatives work together; they all represent Remain seats (albeit one only just), and RD is very pro EU.

I always thought that the UKIPPERS, going over to the Cons was a bit to simple, most of the, if you like, 'working class brexiteers' were probably Labour supporters before UKIP came along. They would have voted leave, and for UKIP in 2015, but once their goal had been achieved why vote for a different party, that neither they or their families had ever voted for. I'm talking more of the Northern electorate, not so much us soft southerners, I can't imagine many in places like Stoke, Barnsley etc are natural Tory voting towns

Interesting times.
I tend to agree with Yvette cooper. For this negotiation we need to have a collection of views, not just a discredited party leader who is stumbling on as if nothing has happened....gove to environment secretary when he is a climate change denier..wtf is she doing?
The phrase " hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" seems to be apt now for George Osborne...he is really after her! Wonder how she sacked him?

Server not found. Fact.
I don't think May will make it past the first month of negotiations.

Totally. Same in South Wales too. From direct personal experience, I knew of plenty of UKIP/Brexit voters in Hastings who weren't going to vote Tory this time.

My brother In law, in Worthing is one, as well.
The point being, you use one poll in your favour to further you argument. And when a balanced poll which is only a few months old counters your argument, you diminish it. I disagree with you that people would choose both and so do both the main parties.
You could have had an argument for this a month ago, however, like it or not, the recent terror attacks will have probably changed public opinion more in favour doing away from freedom of movement. Fear plays a big factor in that, despite the fact the terrorists were born here, public opinion would have changed.

Bit harsh to call Gideon a woman scorned
Nah, labour are well out of this. As I said earlier, the tories (more specifically, Cameron, sabotaged by Boris, and massively U-turing 'because of the will of the people' May) created this mess. They MUST lead us of of it. If they succeed, and I hope they do, then I will salute them.
I expect, however, that there will be a bad deal or no deal (which is a bad deal). Can anyone imagine either the EU agreeing to favourable trade deals (and quickly) with no free movement (i.e., US style travel arrangements - including, for example, between Londonderry and Muff)? Good luck with that one.
If May begs Corbyn to help her with the negociations, on bended knee, then if I were Corbyn I might consider it, but my terms if I were Corbyn would be incompatible with May's (and that is notwithstanding we have absolutely no ****ing idea what May wants!!! Think about that!).
No, let the dishonest deluded chancers get on with it.

A quick question,how many votes difference constitutes a marginal constituency?
East Worthing and Shoreham now has a difference of about 5000 votes,between the Cons and Labour I never dreamed that I would live in a constituency where it was possible my vote could actually make a difference.

The crazy thing is, if we had another EU Referendum now there would almost certainly be a clear majority for Remain. Yet May and her cronies are going to carry on to the bitter end, "leading" us to a result few people want.
Is that the way democracy should work then? If you don't get the result you like then go again and again until you do.
You are Nicola Sturgeon and I claim my £5.

And with Hunt reappointed they will be selling even more off.
I think the only reason Mrs May kept Hunt in the cabinet is that he possibly could still be more unpopular than Mrs May
Good luck if you think you can get a fiver off a Scot.
Not usually a fan of these sort of things... but as it is commenting on the policy not the man I think this one is OK

What makes you say that? 84% of people voted for a party committed to Brexit.
