Brexit party has stood down in many places, I doubt they would have gotten anywhere anyway. While he has his fans, Farage is just too unpaletable for too many now.
And the 'tory fudge' has stolen his Brexit thunder again too. they'll absorb the votes just because people know they are viable. It seems the tories learned something from the last election where they got way too cocky with their rubbish manefesto, and they rightly got a kicking for it.

This election is almost a binary vote / second brexit referendum.

It about the mandate on how to brexit (if at all), and i think the masses will just go with who ever ends this chapter the fastest at this point.

^ Farage is definitely more toxic than in the previous election and in hindsight perhaps he should have stood down after realising his goal with UKIP.

What will happen on 12th is anybody's guess but on 13th and 14th etc. I think we'll be in uncharted territory and facing 'interesting' times.

The Labour Party is to re-shape its general election campaign strategy - particularly in Leave-voting areas - to try to turn around a stubborn Conservative opinion poll lead.

Latest poll of polls puts bojo on 68 seats majority.

Meanwhile the IFC states Cons/Lab sums do not add up....:haha:

Both the Conservatives and Labour have failed to put forward a "properly credible prospectus" for their spending plans, a leading economic think tank has said.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies said it was "highly likely" a Tory government would end up spending more than planned, while it cast doubt on Labour's promise to "ramp up" investment levels by £55bn a year.

The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) will seek further changes to Boris Johnson's Brexit deal, if he remains prime minister after the general election.

Leader Arlene Foster said the number of DUP MPs elected would determine "the shape and direction of this country".

The party, which won 10 seats in the 2017 general election, launched its manifesto in Belfast on Thursday.

The DUP opposes elements of the Brexit deal relating to Northern Ireland.

If the polls are correct old bojo can tell ths DUP to lump it.

Dominic Cummings resigned: Has Dominic Cummings resigned? Did he quit 3 weeks ago?

"Dominic Cummings resigned three weeks ago because it's standard that all SpAds resign when Parliament is dissolved. It's not a thing. It's not really a proper resignation. It's a process. Everyone needs to calm down a bit."

A row has erupted between Channel 4 and the Conservatives after the broadcaster used an ice sculpture in place of Boris Johnson when he didn't turn up to their leaders' debate on climate issues.

Result of this according to the radio in the background Labour is 7 points in front of the Tories! Bojo has made a blunder, may be he needs Psycho Dominick back to advice him and whip his arse. :haha:

The BBC is being “played” by Boris Johnson and should be angry about his foot-dragging on whether he will agree to an interview with Andrew Neil, Labour’s John McDonnell has said.

Labour has previously said Jeremy Corbyn took part in one of a series of one-on-one interviews with the journalist after the BBC told it that Johnson would definitely be doing a similar broadcast next week.

“He is playing the BBC, you should be annoyed,” McDonnell told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. “The reason he is doing this is because he thinks, like his Bullingdon friends, that they are above the rest of us, that they don’t need to be held to account, they don’t need to be treated like the rest of us,” he said, referring to the elite club of which Johnson and other senior Tories were members at Oxford University.

If John McDonnell says so then it must be true :doh:

Boris Johnson has warned the US president against giving him an endorsement ahead of the general election on 12 December.

Donald Trump has previously backed the prime minister, calling him "the exact right guy for the times".

But during an interview with LBC, Mr Johnson said it was "best... for neither side to be involved in the other's election campaigns".

Mr Trump is due in the UK next week to join world leaders for a Nato summit.

He is so right, not a minister but a crazy "guy" for crazy times. Just fear two wrongs don't make a right this time.

This is not our US-politics thread.

This person should know that as a politician you do not take part in another countries election campaign... He can after the election is over send a congratulation to the person who will be your next PM.
