(Are you being the brilliance of the Tory campaign yet?)
A Labour party polling at 36% is much more likely to take power in 2022 than a Labour party polling 25% or 30%.

What of David Cameron? With this referendum he must be feeling like the couple who agreed to make home made porn. It sounded like a good idea at the time, he thought it would be fun to do, but now as he sits back and views his production, he must be thinking this hasn’t turned out how he expected it to turn out, whilst regretting his initial descision and feeling a bit nauseous about it all.

I wouldn't ask either David Cameron or John Major to get involved in this campaign. That "Extreme" brexit comment by Cameron was designed to be particularly damaging for the PM and just created another soundbite, which gets repeated endlessly.foxinsoxuk said:

Some of John Major's comment during the referendum, were absolutely appallying and I'm not surprised he has now disappeared from view.

May needs to announce some tough law and order ideas under the cover of needing to be flexible in response to the threat. That idea of flexibility would then filter through into lancing the u turn boil.
Flexible and fast moving leadership responding to the needs of the time.0 -
The most important moment of the campaign still to come for May is going to be when she gets questioned on social care on the BBC1 QT.
Her response won't just be heard by those watching the programme - it may well lead all news programmes and dominate the rest of the campaign.
Now she can't undo what she has already said but she absolutely has to get her response - at what is going to be the key moment - as good as she can.
Thus, right now the Conservatives should be focus grouping the issue like mad - working out exactly what response will go down best - exactly what she should emphasise, and the exact form of words she should use.0 -

"A lecturer who taught the Manchester Arena bomber five to six years ago has told the Guardian that college staff or the then teenager’s peers reported him to police for expressing extremist views. The teacher, who asked not to be named, said Salman Abedi was a “slow, uneducated and passive” boy on an IT and business course at Trafford College specifically aimed at students at an “exceptionally low level”. The man, who no longer works at Trafford College, said he believes Abedi would have not been capable of plotting an attack of the magnitude seen at the Ariana Grande concert alone and may have been used by others. He said: “I tutor kids who are 11 years old and they’ve got better English and Maths than the kids who were on the course I used to teach which this lad was on. “It’s typically people who are either behaviourally problematic, so disruptive and angry, or need a lot of support and special needs.

Her response won't just be heard by those watching the programme - it may well lead all news programmes and dominate the rest of the campaign.
Now she can't undo what she has already said but she absolutely has to get her response - at what is going to be the key moment - as good as she can.
Thus, right now the Conservatives should be focus grouping the issue like mad - working out exactly what response will go down best - exactly what she should emphasise, and the exact form of words she should use.

Who in Labour could still argue for his denefestration?
(Are you being the brilliance of the Tory campaign yet?)
A Labour party polling at 36% is much more likely to take power in 2022 than a Labour party polling 25% or 30%.
Do you really want Corbyn or a Corbynite becoming PM in 2022?
I would imagine it's most likely she resigns in October 2020, a new leader comes in and then calls a May 2021 GE during their honeymoon.
Indeed 2021 most likely anyway (with FTPA abolition).0 -

Presumably his grades were inflated because of his deprived background.PaulM said:Saw this in the Manchester Evening News
"A lecturer who taught the Manchester Arena bomber five to six years ago has told the Guardian that college staff or the then teenager’s peers reported him to police for expressing extremist views. The teacher, who asked not to be named, said Salman Abedi was a “slow, uneducated and passive” boy on an IT and business course at Trafford College specifically aimed at students at an “exceptionally low level”. The man, who no longer works at Trafford College, said he believes Abedi would have not been capable of plotting an attack of the magnitude seen at the Ariana Grande concert alone and may have been used by others. He said: “I tutor kids who are 11 years old and they’ve got better English and Maths than the kids who were on the course I used to teach which this lad was on. “It’s typically people who are either behaviourally problematic, so disruptive and angry, or need a lot of support and special needs. People talk about the planning and the intelligence you need to plan an attack. This was not an intelligent person.”
