I feel like the right wing headbangers (and I mean the reallllly crazy ones, not merely hard brexiting leavers) aren't getting enough attention because of them.

Le Pen 22.5%
Fillon 19.5%

Political Spin - The Party you voted for last time
Subterfuge - The Party you are voting for this time
In fact, as those on here know, if you pile into the betting market for sentimental reasons, those not in it for sentimental reasons will graciously accept your generosity all day long by piling in on the other side of the see-saw.
I also did Batley and Spen at 6/4 - I don't think the Jo Cox effect will affect the Tories and their vote pool looks very promising there.
Michael Fallon:
“Russia will be watching Labour’s feebleness that Jeremy Corbyn has not supported this deployment… Putin would certainly welcome feebler British defence.”
61-39 r2.
Mr. P, I'd swap the spin/subterfuge definitions. Subterfuge sounds worse than spin, to me.
ROFL
I assume they'll keep betting more to bring the odds down further.
When Corbyn is Even money they'll have to up the stakes.
Of course, "fake news" has been widely redefined (starting with Trump in the US, but picked up by Momentum here) as, essentially, spin, or even just news you'd rather not see reported.
When Trump talks about investigations into senior campaign staff over Russian links as "fake news", that simply isn't correct in the literal sense - they ARE definitely being investigated. It's possible he's right that the significance has been over-hyped, or that there are innocent explanations for all contacts, or that there aren't but he was in the dark. But "fake news" it isn't.

Is McFadden gonna stand?

Meh. He was cruel and vindictive, even bullying, when he wanted to be. I feel no remorse.
I just miss his wit and insight.
He gave as good as he got (which was often a hell of a lot). I was never quite sure where the misogyny claims came from.
He was a sneering whining twunt, well rid of him.

Wrong, wrong and wrong again. Was ever there a more crassly inept politician than Jeremy Corbyn, whose every impulse is to make the wrong call on everything? It’s not excitingly flamboyant red radicalism that has done for Labour, but his sluggish incompetence at the absolute basics of leadership.
Some vicious infighting in the comments.
In any event, though, even if there was some kind of automatic stop-loss adjustment, they'd quickly find non-mug tenners to balance it off and push the Labour price out again.

Remind me how that ended for Labour?
There is an economic cost however.
Did she really say this? Just comical.
I have promised myself that I will go to bed after the exit poll on election night. Staying up would be the political equivalent of sticking pins in my eyes for 8 hours.
We'll see how the campaign goes, and I recognise the Tories should still not be complacent, but it seems like she is overly cautious in some respects.
Because if she doesn't, the media will say target abandoned, she won't reduce immigration etc etc and it opens her up to massive attack.
Which is why she also must stick to pensions triple lock.
People on here remind me of cricket commentators who always say the captain should declare but when they were captain they didn't.
It's so easy to say take a risk when you are not responsible. When you are in the hot seat it looks very different.
One only needs to see how self-employed NICs blew up in the Government face. May cannot risk something similar on immigration or pensions - areas which are of much greater importance to far more people.
Mcfadden is an outspoken denouncer of Islamic terrorism (Corbyn sacked him for this), so I wonder if this is an organised refusal to stand....
What a difference a few months make - in my neighbouring constituency of Richmond Park here in S.W. London, where Zac Goldsmith was toppled after forcing a by-election in December, the Tories are now 1/200 to recapture this seat from the LibDems who are on offer at 25/1, just ahead of Labour at 33/1.
Might Tom Watson be in trouble?

This will blow up in her face sometime soon. The masses who voted Brexit to keep Johnny Foreigner out will go ballistic!
Did Dawn Butler just accuse Costa Coffee (owned by UK domiciled and listed listed Whitbread) of tax dodging?
