A Labour Government.

Isn't there now a tax on insurance policies which I've only just heard about [on the subject of hidden taxes, that is...].It was mentioned when I renewed my car insurance.

tegan its called insurance premium tax it is going up soon I think not sure of the rate but something like 10 and 20%. It's been around for some time.

Yes; I can't make sense of it. Seems it's to fund flood defences.[I think...]

Yes. I suppose that's right. Bet it just goes into the sinking fund

Looks like the Lib Dems may do really badly this time.
May has run a poor campaign but I think the Conservatives will still win, with what majority it's hard to say, polls have been wrong before.

One poll shows Tory on 40 Labour on 39%

Another shows Labour will win, but only if the young turn out.

I am refusing to believe it.

Very wise.

As you keep saying, but refusing to say where you've got that information...sigh.

I haven't seen any polls with a gap of 1% they vary between 5 and 12.One poll a few days ago had 3% but seems to have come up since then.

Perhaps it was found on voxpox blog Roses,

Yougov. Tories on course to lose overall majority.

Faisal Islam, - put Corbyn on 72% of viewers thought he won the debate.

'Tories on course to lose overall majority' doesn't mean Labour's going to win.

Viewers thinking that somebody has won a debate means little where actual voting intentions are concerned.Even the polls themselves.

The Tory magic money tree.

It was possibly the Survation poll:

CON: 40% (-6) LAB: 39% (+5) LDEM: 8% (-) UKIP: 5% (+2)

However these polls turn into reality (and I still think the Conservatives will win), it's going to be evident that the Conservatives don't have the "popular vote". It's unlikely that they will achieve a majority of the popular vote, which means that the majority is unhappy about how the country is run.

Something nasty has happened in London Major incident.

Just reading about it.

They don't seem to know exactly what has happened but they are moving people away very quickly.

The Survation poll assumes that he 18-35 will turn out as predicted.

If they don't it will be a victory for the old codgers.

A poll I read said that 63% of young voters have confirmed they are certain to vote.
Of those, 68% will vote Labour. That was ICM, I think.

Incident is on London Bridge. A van travelling at approx 50 mph has been driven into pedestrians.

Whatever has happened, let's hope that none of the
political parties use it to score points.

Fat chance!
