* if they aren't, it should still be possible to scrap the live thread / Sky. But how fast I can do that on the night is another matter.

While Labour are not just losing more Leavers, more of them going direct to the Tories.
anything less than a large Tory vote share would be rather disappointing.

Dear Brexiteer,
On Wednesday, the eve of the General Election, I will be campaigning in Hartlepool in support of our outstanding candidate, Richard Tice. Come and join me and let’s get Richard over the line!
In key seats like Hartlepool it’s now a two-horse race between The Brexit Party and a Remainer Labour MP. The message we will be delivering to voters is clear: only Richard Tice and The Brexit Party can beat Corbyn’s Remainer Labour here.
Join me in Hartlepool on Wednesday, where our team will be leafleting, door-knocking and drumming up support. Don’t miss this chance to make history in Hartlepool!
This has changed my whole view of the world. Investigative journalism at its finest.
So what?
Tories want to help people succeed and believe in mobility. Lifting people out of poverty and helping them own their own home is good for the Tories.
"It's amazing that images from my exclusive last night also ended up on Guido's website today. Apparently it's all a coincidence. I thought it was only Corbynistas who want to take things without paying? Obviously not."
OUCH
The Tories for years have been taxing landlords putting additional Stamp Duty on second homes and offering Help to Buy only to those wanting to buy their own home not landlords and now home ownership rates are increasing once more.
I think the Tories increasing home ownership rates is good. I think Labour decreasing home ownership rates was bad. What about you?
Wasn't even a particularly good guess at what it said, either.
Rationalising it, I think it must be something to do with antipathy to the extreme direction the party is taking under Corbyn, held by people who would never vote Conservative but for whom Brexit is a secondary issue even though they voted Leave. For them a desire for moderate social democratic politics trumps Brexit.
What might the % figures have been amongst both Lab Leavers and Remainers if Swinson had not taken such an extreme position on Brexit? A bit higher in both camps I suspect.
the 4/6 under 4.5 Plaid seats has now gone. 1/2 and shorter now.

I really hope not.
Bozos interview when asked about the poor boy suffering from pneumonia and forced to lie on coats on the floor of the hospital .
Absolutely shocking .
But do you know when the poll is due?
This having been said, given current polling, I don't think there'll actually be a lot of remain con / lib marginals that will narrowly go tory (let's say by less than 10%). Probably less than 10. Most of their remain seats in the South East have huge majorities and while they'll probably be reduced a bit, they'll still be safe next time unless the libdems surge massively.
That's really quite stupid. Yes it makes logical sense, the BBC itself is considering a new structure, as the fee is unsustainable. But why say it NOW? Why say anything controversial NOW, when the election is almost over, and probably won?
This can easily be portrayed - esp by angry BBC journos - as Boris threatening to privatise our beloved Beeb, as well as the NHS, blah blah
Silly man.
Still, I'll be looking out for being propagandised by *checks notes* Al Thoraya and Khamakar Press.
Unequivocally for remain in a second referendum was sufficient. They didn't need to overreach.
I mean, fair enough, to be honest I had a similar thought, and I think in general it's the right response in this day and age. However, the range of targets in this article should preclude that from being a likelihood. It's very unlikely the same people are having a go at both British Jews criticising the Labour party, and supporting pro-Palestinian US politicians.
No overall majority was 4 this morning, 4.5 now (Ladbrokes).
He isn't wrong...but...
Only 6 of the 29 constituencies for which we have published polls come from N or W of a line drawn from the Severn to the Wash. The London/SE focus of this election is getting very frustrating.
He's probably as tired as the rest of them. Just three days to go. Help.
"Back to Boris Johnson and his questions. He's asked about the future of the BBC licence fee and surprises those listening saying he believes the whole idea of funding the BBC through a licence fee should be looked at.
"It is effectively a tax," he says."
So he says looked at. Nothing definitive.
If he wins, let's hope this is the leverage to force BBC to pay for all Over 75s.
Which was my original point. Tories want voters to have capital. They want voters to succeed.
Labour wants voters to rely upon them.
What we do know, the media love to talk about themselves and the BBC going mental should anybody ever suggest that you know the BBC should ever be reformed in anyway.
His comment is totally undefinitive, just pointing out the media landscape is changing and the licence fee is reviewed on a regular basis (but isn't due to be looked at again for ages). But you know the BBC will now what to dedicate hours to talking about themselves.
The comments are delivering under the header.

Obviously I have no time for Labours current economics either. No-one is representing workers interests.
How we move forward from that will have to be debated. A tax on everybody regardless of tv or not or ads, or a bit of both, seems like the only way, other than total let them fight with everybody else.
So he acts wary and defensive.
I do not believe he knew the photo and was too ashamed to view it. All he had to do was look at it and say Oh that's terrible, which in the end was what he did.
But he came across as shifty and sly. Not good.
Comment 2: The new Bolsheviks
Comment 3: Wanted for supporting the IRA
Comment 4: Labour the party that {Whole host of negative things}
Whole bunch of: Fuck off & Leave means leave
There are a couple of Corbyn fans defending him but it's overwhelmingly negative.
The Conservative Party is setting off on a unknown voyage of ditching much of its traditional voter base for a new set. The bastion of SE England will no longer be their core heartland. Only time will tell if this is a good idea or not.
"And yet, remarkably, there are still some people-of-colour truthers out there. With astonishing speed they have become a new breed of conspiracy theorist. ‘He did say “people of colour” and the mainstream media should stop covering that up’, they say, insanely, coming off like leftish versions of Obama birth truthers.
Why is this happening? Because the anti-Boris brigade has gone mad. It’s been brewing for a couple of weeks and now it has exploded into public life. The ‘people of colour’ conspiracy theory confirms how unhinged the Corbynista wing of politics in particular has become."

The original deal should have been stuck to - ie BBC fund all over 75s in return for:
1) Return of CPI rises
2) BBC stops paying £150m for broadband
3) LF required for I-player
BBC have banked 1) + 2) + 3) but have now gone back on funding all over 75s.
Result: BBC revenue from 2020 onwards will be £450m higher than expected at time of deal.
