btb Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I remember Neil from back in the '80's when he was The Times editor and a Thatcher groupie - I've never regarded him as politically neutral. I'd fancy Neil to pull his punches against Johnson - typical Paisley Grammar boy! Edited November 28, 2019 by btb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Labour/SNP coalition would be delightful, albeit very unlikely. Apparently the big YouGov poll everyone's taking as gospel showed the Tories and Labour essentially neck and neck before you adjust by age for excepted turnout. Obviously it'd be daft to assume that every 18 year old is going to turn out but does show that the result is basically up in the air depending on how well Labour can mobilise the youth vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The youth vote will be key. Hopefully there will be more things like Stormzy coming out for Labour. Even if people aren't hugely enthused about Corbyn/Labour it's what we've got and the choice is a party who will at least try and address problems we can all see versus the Tories who intend to make them worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Swinson gets my vote if she goes on the offensive and quizzes Andrew Neil on why he’s listed in Jeffrey Epstein’s black book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly some won't be extra voters as they'll be students for example. However, you'd think that this could have an effect if they do turnout - polling companies seriously underestimated the younger vote last time - I hope they've done the same again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd fancy Neil to pull his punches against Johnson - typical Paisley Grammar boy!I actually wouldn't expect that, as I suspect his personal estimation of Johnson is very low, but I'm really hoping Johnson stumbles into the same no-show territory as May in 2017 as that cost the Tories dear at the ballot box.In terms of relentless attack Labour should make it an anti-Semitism moment in intensity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im_Rodger Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Shocking from both my party and the SNP their inability to vet candidates. Means that people can’t vote in the party the truly want on Election Day. Leaving a lot of alienated voters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNP were almost certain to win the seat, and now they have an open anti-Semite standing. How many people are prepared to vote for him anyway? I think they’ll still edge it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
