    That's not certain, and they've gone backwards, but I trust the rhetoric will reflect that.

    If it isn't PM Corbyn that is.

    Well done indeed. I was sceptical of Corbyn. I bought into the unelectable narrative. I was wrong. He has played a blinder despite all expectations.

    Listening to George Osborne talking on TV is exactly like reading TSE on here.

    We are the voices of general election winning policies.

    We are the voices of lower taxation.

    We are the voices of social liberalism.
    One small silver lining, might we get our party back a little....to coin a phrase.
    Hopefully.

    I'm going flail the PBers/Tories that denied the awesomeness of Dave and George.
    Dave and George DID THIS. If Cameron had just multiplied by 2 the effort he put in to securing a sellable Remain case, he would still have looked pathetically lazy, but Remain would have got over the line. Awesome my arse.
    Isn't it about time you got over your bitterness about the terrible Remain campaign? It's ancient history now.
    Yes on the whole, but when I see the prize c*cksuckers who were the architects of the whole disaster being praised to the skies by Remainer couch potatoes, tetchiness ensues.

    But as you suggest, plenty of more recent stuff to be embittered about atm.

    No. It's terrible for the UK. Some of us don't have foreign boltholes to escape to. :(

    A lesson from this: ignore people who are abroad, or can escape abroad. They are insulated from their decisions.

    Real people are not.
    If Corbyn gets in I will be escaping abroad. I don't have a bolthole, but I'll soon sort one out. Let's see how his policies pan out without the economic value add and tax take from people like me. KABOOM!

    No. The tories have two options, Ruth or Boris. Ruth is still in Scotland. No one else has enough profile yet.
    Considering that Ruth isn't a real option, the party is fucked. If Boris is leader, Corbyn is PM.

    Single worst policy I've ever seen announced. I and others called it on the night and we got told to shut up by Mrs May's cheerleaders. I hope they are happy now.
    +1. Did they trial it anywhere conservative voters gather?
    An idea that should have been focus grouped to death. And I mean, to death.

    Besides which, cleverer brains had invested far more effort investigating social care policy options before.

    It seems to have been a proposal half-baked in terms of practical efficiency (at the very least, why not go in for another expert consultation?) and not baked at all in terms of electoral palatability. Complete back-of-a-fag-packet stuff.

    Ironically, I presume it only made the manifesto because they expected to win a big majority and hoped to forestall trouble later down the line getting a tricky policy area through the Commons...

    If George Osborne had managed to balance the books as he promised by 2015 we would not have had 2 extra years of austerity which Corbyn has clearly mobilised leftwing voters against tonight (including some who voted UKIP in 2015)
    That's where my thinking is taking me.

    It would have been better to cut deeper, faster and quicker and get it over with. People can't take the prospect of 'the pain' never ending.

    Of course, that would have made it far harder for Dave to win against Ed Miliband in GE2015.
