    Are you suggesting that there will be another election before Christmas?.

    Chill out ... it's what the data collected is suggesting and not Mr Costcutter. That there is likely to be a General Election and Corbyn will win.

    Sounds more like hope (spin working overtime) than reality. Rather like Sturgeon's approach the noise won't stop until the right result is achieved. Though in her case appears to have backfired somewhat. May will survive for the duration of the Brexit talks.

    I could flip flop again. :)

    Guido hears the Brexit caucus of Tory MPs met with the remaining DexEU minister Robin Walker and DIT ministers Greg Hands and Mark Garnier this morning to have their concerns allayed. MPs were reassured by the ministers that, contrary to reports, the government will not pursue a weakening of Brexit policy. They were told that government policy has not changed and that the UK will have control of trade policy. i.e. No wavering, we are leaving the single market and customs union. Steve Baker, who leads the European Research Group caucus of around 80 Leave-supporting MPs, says it was a “hugely encouraging and constructive meeting”. Ministers will need to keep their word, the 80 MPs in Baker’s group alone far outweigh Ruth Davidson’s handful of Scots…

    I would imagine the Tories will do anything they can to avoid having to face another General Election before the boundary changes next year

    I see the latest opinion polls are predicting Corbyn will be measuring up for curtains at number 10 by xmas.

    According to betfair the odds on another election this year are currently about 11/4, and the odds on Corby being the PM after the next election (at any time) are over 3.6/1.

    One may not be needed if May fails to form a parliament.
