[Doctor Gollum]

I see Blair is now sticking his oar in to show us the error of our ways and help us out of the mess we've got ourselves in since he left No.10

Next time someone sticks a microphone in my face, I will be sure to say what I think on the subject...

Lady bits should have swung a decade ago.

[Viral_Jim]

I want to see the manifestos of all parties before making my choice (yes I realise just how much they are worth). As always, labour are promising more money for everything and everyone, plus a free unicorn for every household, it's how it'll be funded that'll interest me.

Labour's only word on the subject so far is to aim it at those earning about £70k or above. The Torres, no news as yet...

[Doctor Gollum]

At some point, the defects left by the last Liebour shambles need to be paid for...

Rest assured that we, and by that I mean normal honest folk, will pay for it large. Of this there is no escape.

Historically this has been done by dropping the higher rate threshold by 5K and reducing the tax percentage by 4% whilst simultaneously increasing the minimum rate percentage.

In the middle you might receive a slight improvement on allowances, but rest assured that you will be paying for that window* of benefit for decades.

* worst case a parliamentary term.

The issue here isn't who can deliver everything for nothing, but rather who has the strength of conviction to lead us out of the EU and into the brave new world.

And to that end, my fellow Americans Britons, you have but one vote. Conservative*.

*this could have been UKIP, but they only played one deck... Missed a trick not selling themselves as the party to take us not only from Brussels, but also beyond it... A strong LibDem/UKIP coalition might just have done this but that boat has long sailed.

Use the local elections next week to resolve issues at home, and save the General Election for strong post Brexit leadership.

As for the original question...

Teresa May has at least got the 'dangle berries' to put herself before the electorate now rather than resigning on the dawn of leaving the EU.

Jeremy on the other hand couldn't find his 'dangle berries' in a bag of peanuts. Presuming he has any to begin with...

I'm not sure I believe that DG, I think it's being done now because she can currently be judged on her EU rhetoric. Strong and stable leadership and all that cobblers. 3yrs down the line she'll be being judged on the sh!t show that the EU negotiations will inevitably become.

To call it now is a shrewd/cynical (delete as appropriate) political manoeuvre.

That said, I'll still be voting for her 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Its being done now because there are enough Tory MP,s files currently with the CPS for electoral fraud, to lose her, her small majority overnight.

Unicorn are common......just like rocking horse droppings.

She obviously had the lies figures written down for her, so wtf didn't she say 'Hang on while I get the figures'?
How do stupid, even thick bastards like this get to be shadow Home Secretary? Please don't answer that, I fear you may put that image into my head again, and it took me nearly a week to get over it last time.

I thought you were still on the fence, but living inner-city Liverpool was leaning you to the Red vote?

If incorrect, apologies

Christ on a bike! Has she never heard of the "When in a hole, stop digging" mantra?

Funding the policy was clearly a key point that the interviewer was going to pursue. It always is. Not having the figures committed to memory was careless. Making some nonsense up rather than pausing to find the page with them written on was, hopefully, career ending.

I bet there are dozens of Labour back benchers who could do a much better job as shadow home secretary, if only there was a leader they'd serve under.
