I was accused of lacking conviction on this thread (or maybe another one) for not blindly voting the same way each and every time. It's good to know there are a lot of other wishy washy types out there too.

Pretty unusual conditions last time round though, surely, given the collapse of "our job is done" UKIP and some disenchantment with SNP North of the border. And, as I say, the 1m or so people Labour found down the back of the sofa who'd not voted before.

3.5m. But the Tories went up by nearly 2,5m too. 2015 Labour - 9.347,273 Tory - 11,334,226 2017 Labour - 12,878,460 Tory - 13,636,684 UKIP lost nearly 3.5m votes and the SNP and the Greens lost around 0.5m each. Didn't Labour find a fair few votes down the back of the sofa?

He always looks like one giant half of Dick and Dom, yes.

Front page of the BBC website, as you predicted. Or were you being facetious? Who knows. And the story, on the front page of the BBC website, reveals that group concerned have been suspended from the Conservative Party with widespread calls to ban anyone involved from the Party for life. A...

I have now. I'll declare early on, I believe Owen Jones to be an utter ****. For political balance, I largely think the same about Toby Young. The bit you mention was sort of fair enough, initially at least. Those out-of-shot recognised Jones was merely doing a poor-man's Louis Theroux, looking...

Do you shirk stuff just because you think it's difficult?

I have no idea what you think you think you've read but I've not defended May, her record as PM nor the Tories at all. That I'm able to call out those so blinded by their hatred for the Tory Party does not mean I am defending that party. It would be the same as me calling you out for an...

She's been sent down the path by the great British public. Pretty much every fork off the path is covered in dog shit.

I can't believe how many people on here, some who have displayed traces of intelligence previously, are making a thing of this. It was nothing more than self-deprecating humour. She was taking the piss out of herself.

It's the worst job in the world isn't it, and I include the bloke I see emptying the dog poo bins in that. It is a "no win" from every angle. It was a great election for Labour to lose last time round.

Don't come here with your logical reasoning, we're not having it. May should just cancel Brexit because she wants to, in the same that Corbyn absolutely would. Democracy Schemocracy.

You may prefer it, but I'll continue to call it as I see it. As I've said - many people on both sides of the political spectrum have their minds made up already and won't entertain the alternative. They're never going to change - some will always vote Labour and hate the Tories, whilst a similar...

U ok hun x

My point was there was no need for you to watch the speech. Your mind was made up before May opened her mouth. You didn't sit down with an open mind prepared to judge based on what you heard. You know it, and I know it. There's nothing unusual in that of course, but don't pretend there was any...

Again, you could have written your views on the speech this morning, or yesterday even.

Great news: a new Michael Gove clapping meme will be being made right now.

Tough gig for May following Cox. No one wants their warm-up act to be better than they are.

You should go and do something else with your time. Life is precious, and you've already made your mind up what you think of May's speech.

Regardless of where it comes from, and I neither know nor care, does it matter? Your snidey responses to this illustrate exactly what is wrong with politics with so many in this country. It's a good, sound common-sense policy isn't it? For whatever reason, it has not been implemented by any...
