You won't win on those manifesto pledges.

Tories messed up once - they won't make thst mistake again.

You also need a rethink.

Love the quote "revenge of the young"

That and a small incentive of no tuition fees for many.
Actually, I think the Tory campaign totally failed to talk to them or address them at all.

He's such an 'orrible racist. He ran such a negative campaign against Sadiq.

Funnily enough he isn't but Labour ran a vert good campaign that concentrated entirely on denigrating him rather than positive virtues of siddiq

1. Can Sinn Fein see themselves to returning the favour, taking their seats to support Jezzer?
2. How can the Tories govern England – the 12 Scottish seats cannot be used to pass English legislation!

Loving the irony of the Tories having to look to the DUP for support.

Guess many around here (and no doubt all at the Sun / Mail / Express) will have conveniently short memories when it comes to their history of inflaming and extending the troubles and derailing peace initiatives.

Not to mention the UR, which their esteemed founder Paisley also instigated, and their links to the UVF.

So if May goes - do you think we could tempt James Comey - he looked like a decent sort of chap with some morals, probity, subtlety when needed and a willingness to act!
