More pivotal than when they took out Bin Laden. Buckle up, it’s gonna be bumpy.

After watching Dame Edna Rules the Waves on BBC1, I’d say Barry Humphries could be a possibility.

Fuck over the working class and don't be surprised when they thump you. The most ironic thing I read this election was a Guardian headline the other day quoting Corbyn - "Let's give the establishment a shock". The people tried to give the establishment a shock in 2016. And you ignored it and thwarted it at every turn. Now you'll pay the price.

Conservative obviously.

Dead aged 85. Edit: Metro, Daily Mirror, BBC obituaries.

Dead.

Indeed. The Government may be up shit creek, but the public and voting intentions don't seem to care.

Some polls out this today, with fieldwork done from the 4th-6th which is after the legislation went through the House of Commons, after the purge of Tory MPs and after the opposition parties ran scared from a general election. YouGov: Conservative - 35% (-) Labour - 21% (-4%) Lib Dem - 19% (+3%) Brexit Party - 12% (+1%) Opinium: Conservative - 35% (+3%) Labour - 25% (-1%) Lib Dem - 17% (+2%) Brexit Party - 13% (-3%) Panelbase: Conservative - 31% (+10%) Labour - 28% (-3%) Lib Dem - 19% (+6%) Brexit Party - 15% (-4%) Greens - 2% (-3%) Regardless of how much of a catastrophe this week has been for Boris, the public appears to like his hardened Brexit stance. Incredible given all what's gone on really, but I think when the inevitable election comes it will be a shocker - even more so if as some newspapers are reporting the Tories and Brexit Party are touching base about an electoral pact. If the Government is really falling apart and it's all such a damned disgrace as they claim, then instead of moaning about it why doesn't Corbyn & Co. do something about it and vote for an election?
