Disgraceful. Still it's a Murdoch paper, so not that much of a surprise for it to do a hit piece (even though it is the better of the Murdoch papers).

 

You have a point. I'd just assume that a broadsheet paper wouldn't stoop to tabloid levels. Can't imagine the readers would buy into that kind of narrative.

 

No, Jeremy Corbyn did not refuse to condemn the IRA. Please stop saying he did

 

What was the second tweet supposed to be? It's not showing up and it looks like the account has been deleted

 

It was this one:

 

That's really re-assuring! It sounds like the only thing May really has going for her at this point is strong leadership which has definitely increased after Manchester but will most likely work away from them if they go back to sloganeering rather than actions. I really hope we win this. Things working towards us is getting me so optimistic now!

 

Cabot Circus in Bristol has been evacuated on a bomb scare. It's so scary knowing it's a place you can picture and this is just awful to hear about.

 

Worth noting that this poll is from after the Manchester attack, not before. Labour could have this.

 

Corbyn might just win this. It would be so amazing.

lmao

 

Oh man, that'd be so great. Do you think May would resign?

 

Yeah definitely, her credibility would be in tatters. Although now that I think about it I sure hope we don't end up with Prime Minister Boris Johnson haha

 

Oh god, I completely glossed over him as a potential replacement, haha. Part of me would expect the leader to be someone from the left of the party to assuage the mass of Labour support. Right now though, I think for the first time I can say a Corbyn leadership seems more likely than that.

 

That will be amazing if Corbyn is prime minister on June 9th. I'm not sure how to vote tho. Obviously I'm a Labour supporter, but my constituency is basically a battle between the Tories and the Lib Dems. I was gonna vote Lib Dem to try to get rid of the Tory MP, but if we're heading for a hung parliament a vote for the Lib Dems is basically just a vote for the Tories, so I think I'm going to vote Labour and just hope for the best. Idk.

 

I believe it was you that's actually in the same constituency as me back home, right? If I was at home I'd have voted tactically for Lib Dems but as someone that voted Green in one of the smallest marginal seats in 2015 I can totally understand voting with your heart too. The way I see it, any vote not for the tories is a vote away from the tories there. If you were in Bath or Chippenham I'd perhaps say otherwise, but still.

 

Yeah, I'm based in North Wiltshire at the moment. I recently got a job in Bath tho, so moving there in the next couple of months (I know that's a Tory/Lib Dem battle zone too haha). I especially hate my MP atm, he seems like a really nasty guy based on some of the stuff I've read online. I'd love it if he lost his seat.

 

Getting rid of James Gray would be fantastic. However, back home I've not once seen any campaigning in my village from anyone other than Conservatives. Really we'd need a viable candidate willing to put in the effort and I just don't see that possible at this time.

 

It should've been over after Zack Goldsmith's disgusting mayoral campaign but ho hum.

 

I'm in the same boat as you guys, last election Cons got 30,802 votes, Lib Dems 8,354 and Labour 6,534. Both were way off the Cons so I think I'm just going to vote Labour anyway (plus I like the guy running). Looking at the local GetSurrey websites poll though is quite interesting (although it doesn't say how many voted and I'd guess most con voting people in the area wouldn't vote on something like this anyway).

 

Also fun fact the Labour candidate for Guildford this year is a really nice guy who used to run one of our local record shops and was the drummer in The Vapours in 80's
