It's a combination of some truly heroic work by the right wing newspapers and Corbyn only opening his mouth to change feet. Throw in a smidgin of the fact that Labour are equally divided over Brexit and that keeps the Tories in the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Yeah, the papers have a lot to do with it, hopefully if there is an election called the polls will be off the mark more than they have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 So what was Farage’s big announcement? All I’ve seen about him is him grinning like a cunt after he, but more likely someone else, caught a Tope Shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JNLister Posted July 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2018 One addition to the Tory leadership rules: if there is a no confidence vote and she wins, there can't be another one for a year. Of course, she could still be pressured to resign, though if she stayed on after the election, I doubt she'll ever go voluntarily. In theory the Brexiteers wouldn't go for the no confidence vote unless they thought they would win it. In practice the procedure for getting to 48 names (once you hand in a letter, it stays 'active' until the end of the calendar year unless you formally withdraw it; only Graham Brady knows how many letters he's had) means they might get to the 48 by accident.

hallicks Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Regarding the polls, Survation's most recent offering had Labour ahead by 1 point, and they called the last GE pretty correctly (possibly the only ones who did, can't remember now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't been done and the more it goes on the less likely it is looking to even happen. I love it when American's believe everything they hear on Fox News. Guy is an absolute tool.

Brought back memories of his WWE.com column where he'd spout foul hate-filled stuff all the time. A large part of why I hated him being Champion back in 2004 and I'm not shocked to see he hasn't changed. Horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 10, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 10, 2018 Anyone really surprised? Apart from (maybe) The Rock, I've yet to see any WWE wrestlers that weren't right-wing Republican or "Libertarian". Working in a McMahon-run company, you're probably going to at least end up somewhere not far from him on the political spectrum, even if you didn't start there. And JBL's not only a wrestler, and a Texan one at that, he's also an American entrepreneur, which means he's most likely somewhere slightly to the left of Genghis Khan.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 10, 2018 I thought he might be more a traditional conservative rather than out and out idiot, but no, I don't think anyone is surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westlondonmist Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 My favourite part of the past 24 hours is that Jeremy Hunt is no longer Health Secretary, fuck knows how he stayed in there so long despite the fact that he is probably the most disliked MPs in the country and that every paper (even the most right wing) think he is shit. I understand that Foreign Secretary is some what of a promotion but still, every cloud has a silver lining. I am glad however that Boris is gone from the cabinet, he is toxic and I think a terrible human. I think most MPs go into politics for the right reasons whether I agree with their policies or not, but with him it is all about himself. Despite be against the leave campaign, I do want the leave to go smoothly and people like him and David Davies are the people going to stop that.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
