Brexit (so-called) party supports Tories

It doesn't matter if country is put before party they both come a long way behind Farage.

On fire today trisher

Labour will be wiped out up North, the Midlands and Wales.

Hopefully!!!?

Wanting something to be true doesn’t make it true Fire

It will happen Labour voters who voted Leave in the referendum feel betrayed by Corbyn. Brexit is the major issue in this election.

I say , I say , I say , I was on the way to the House of Commons when....

I will bookmark this thread for the 13th December

It seems those who had been persuaded to stand for the Brexit party, paid their money to do so and prepared accordingly- are NOT happy at all- as Farage has dumped them without any discussion or forewarning- They learnt theay had been dumped in the Press....

You hope Firecracker

If they're surprised by his duplicity, more fool them! I don't have an ounce of sympathy for anybody who has ever donated a penny to Brexit & Co.

On another thread, Urmstongran (I think) mentioned that a million low-income people have recently registered to vote. I read the whole of the JRF report which made the claim.

Apparently, there are signs that low-income people (bottom quintile) are showing more interest in politics.

It's a very detailed report and makes a number of interesting points:

1 The majority of these "new" voters don't think Brexit is a priority and a small majority voted to remain (if they voted at all).

2 The majority intend to vote Labour, even if they don't like Corbyn. Only a small subset (known as elderly traditional working class) intend to vote for Brexit.

3 Farage is the most unpopular party leader.

4 Their top priorities are housing, health and restoring benefits to the link with inflation. Brexit isn't even in the top five.

Those kind of opinions don't indicate a Brexit & Co landslide to me.

growstuff re your 50p bet:
would that be promoting him out of harm's way?

I'm not betting btw

I don't think I should repeat in public what I'd do to promote him out of harm's way. Hint - it would include a rocket launcher, an orifice and outer space or sending him to sea in a sieve like the Jumblies.

Damn you grow there you go evidence, facts, research - will you never learn?

Maybe I should change my username to spreadsheetstuff.

JRF? growstuff? Have you a link?

No no no no not a link ??. The work of the devil

Low income doesn't necessarily equal low intelligence or a lack of interest in politics!

Farage has looked out for himself again, and nobody or nothing else. Some of the 'successful' BLP candidates found out on the news today that they were out of the race, what a professional way to run a campaign. There have without doubt been deals and promises made in exchange for this capitulation, but then again, what are Johnson's promises worth? I think the theory of Ambassador to USA is feasible, he will be well suited to the vulgar court of the fantasist Trump and quite frankly, they deserve each other. And still, people defend him, praise him as sacrificing his career for the good of the party......oh please.

The poor Queen - ambassadors are HM Ambassadors are they not?

Well, unless I am missing something here, my thoughts are that the right-wing vote may now split in constituencies where the Brexit party stands between them and the Tories, making it easier for either the Labour or Liberal candidates to get elected.

No Grandad he is withdrawing candidates from constituencies with an incumbent Tory MP thus hoping to avoid splitting the pro-Brexit vote between BPL and Tories. Well, this is the official story. More like he can't get enough decent candidates who will have to fund themselves now that Banks is no longer bankrolling the BPL. As a pro remainer, this is bad news as I was hoping the split would enable the LibDems to gain a few seats.

And now you know- Farage has been offered a peerage for his services to Johnson. Stinks.

GillT57, Farage will still be standing candidates in Labour and Liberal held constituencies, therefore, spitting the right wing vote, making it easier for the incumbent party to retain the seat.

It should be remembered that the Tory party has to take seats in this election to gain an overall majority, not just hold what it has now.
