The odious Jo Swinson is to take legal action against itv for not including her in the leaders debate.
I really hope she loses her Scottish seat.
Sky have proposed a debate between the three.

There were bound to be some. The tories have candidates in the opposite direction, not happy with boris's deal, but going along with it for various ill-defined reasons.
In harsh reality the tories have not or don't intend to deliver the kind of brexit most thought they were voting for, it's a soft brexit which at a later date can be more easily reversed, as the twitter post chopley posted yesterday confirmed, the EU are prepared to play the long game to get their quarry [the uk] and the establishment are happy with this arrangement.

I am not a fan of Jo Swinson, and find her argument of sexism rather silly, but she does have a point that she should be in any leadership debate. The Lib Dems are a relevant party right now, and should have a voice on that stage. Although, it would likely involve her and Boris just ganging up on Corbyn. She would be better served not being so harsh on Labour.

No she doesn't if itv want a head to head then thats their choice, there are no rules regarding who a tv company can ask onto their shows.

Farage, boris, swinson and corbyn would make for a fuller political debate than only boris vs corbyn, but I bet boris wouldn't agree to it as he won't want to debate brexit with farage in front of millions of leave voters watching at home.
There are actually strict laws regarding impartiality for broadcasters during general elections. I am not an expert on these regulations though, so cannot say for sure if they must. She certainly represents a large enough portion of the electorate to be given a place in the debate. Not sure why anybody would argue against her being part of it. The Lib Dems have always been part of these debates, and were extremely important in the success of them to begin with.

A less than impressive performance from the Conservative Party Chairman this morning, who was too scared to be interviewed by Kay Burley, so she empty chaired him and asked all the questions she was going to ask, to an empty chair.

Well sir Nigel has played a blinder, not only does his latest move ensure corbyn and labour don’t have a chance, makes the lib fems irrelevant also.. not to mention Brexit being saved...beautiful

I am not sure as the Conservatives have got to win seats they didn't win last time and Brexit is still standing in those what Nigel should have done is stand in seats where the Conservatives cannot hope to win but are Brexit voters, standing in Diane Abbot seat for example is pointless as she would win that seat if she was dead and also Caroline Flint seat no point standing there she has played a blinder throughout the process.
Just saying we not standing in the 317 seats that the Conservatives won isn't enough.

I would say the opposite. The conservatives need to win as many seats as they can.
By contesting all the non conservative seats as hard as possible it makes it harder for the tories to gain the seats they need as the leave vote will be split between brexit party and tories. Makes a hung parliament more likely and increases the chances of that terrorist sympathising B*stard becoming prime minister.

It would be better for the Brexit party to stand aside in the Conservatives top 100 - 150 target seats and give them a chance to win those seats and therefore a very workable majority. It would also give the Brexit party the chance to pick up leave supporting Labour seats and get a presence in parliament.

Disagree, this has massively boosted Boris and will ensure a landslide. Labour where always finished under corbyn the turd, when a lib fem won’t work with him that says lots indeed. It’s not just him, is the cabinet of fools that he has.. Angela the slapper rayner, abacus abbot, David the racist lammy... not to mention the jew hatred or migration issues labour would bring.
Been a good day for true patriots and Englishmen.

Proof that Labour would be bad for UK security

The loopy Labour party now think they will be able to part nationalise Sky and Virgin Media.
Heaven help us if this lot get in, I might vote to stay in the EU just to see how they would cope with Brussels rules particularly on nationalisation, the EU does not believe in nationalisation.

Keep an eye on Ed Miliband's constituency in Doncaster North, he is very unpopular with the flooded areas of Fishlake and Bentley, Fishlake in particular he promised food and provisions when he visited and they never arrived and some residents are calling him a "c**t". This constitency will be interesting as it is a high Brexit supporting area, so Brexit party could do very well here.
In 2017 Miliband had a 14,000 majority over the Conservative candidate, in 2015 UKIP managed nearly 9,000 votes but in 2017 that fell to 2,000 with most of the votes split between the two main parties.

It's the Labour advent Calendar come early everyday in November we open a door and there's a free treat waiting.
We have had free broadband in the last few days and today it will be free teeth checks, come back tomorrow when we open door number 18 and see what else the Labour party is going to give you for nothing.

So you look at the past 9 years of Tory rule, decimation and under funding of the NHS, local council budgets, social care, police, firefighters, schools etc. etc. and go: 'yes, we need more of this', the right wing media have really done a number on you haven't they.
It'd take a hardened cynic to attribute Austerity cuts to the Tories alone, given, as mentioned, the Worldwide Financial Crash that institutions were still heavily reeling from.
So what'd Labour's solution have been? Borrow into oblivion, put on a happy face and watch the country sink into irrecoverable debt

There is more than enough money going into things such as the NHS. The issue IS NOT the amount of funding, it's how the money is being spent. The amount of money being wasted in the NHS is staggering... 6 figure salaries for 'pen pushers' and no standardisation of procurement.
The NHS is literally a bottomless money pit of bad management across the board. You could double the amount of money siphoned to it and it would still be exactly the same.
32 years living here and that's all I ever hear, 'Poor, underfunded, crisis-hit NHS on the brink of collapse" etc
It's fucking boring and moot, and nothing but a cheap political pawn by parties to garner votes. And yet still, here it is

Agree, sick of hearing about it. It would be EXACTLY the same under a Labour government. In fact, didn't the last Labour government actually privatise more of it than the Tories have? That and the introduction of a target based system that was never fit for purpose.

Yeah and Corbyn and Labour would still allow mass immigration to finally destroy the NHS, climate change isnt the real world crisis, its the human race and the massive increase every day in over population!

Yeah, that's what they normally do. Then we get years of Tory governments to put it right while we suffer, only for the latest generation of mugs to vote LieBore back in again, rinse and repeat.
No mention of the catastrophic rise in population here to add so much extra strain on services then?
Our productivity is going down per capita which is directly related to the rise in population. The wealth that is supposedly created and all these 'economic benefits' migration brings is a myth. The economy will grow in size, of course it will, it has to as the population expands. Alas the increase in size, when divided, is insufficient to maintain individual productivity as a large swathe is in the service sector or cash-in-hand undocumented work.
Another outcome of the EU open borders disaster.
People have selective memories in regards to the NHS and Labour's indifference towards it too, during their heyday Blair era. In fact all the main parties are equally dismissive of it and see it as burden if anything.
So as mentioned they'll pour money at the top-end (management etc) whilst the rest festers. But come Election time they'll fall over themselves pointing fingers and wheeling out the "We care so much about the NHS" mantra.
I mean let's get real, none of them want it. And how long will it take to overhaul, from top to bottom? I say five terms minimum. And which party's going to 'invest' in that

Can Sky News find anymore Labour MP's to interview, since 7 O'Clock its been one Labour MP after another, nothing like bias.

Hopefully Sky won't be able to find many Labours MP's to interview in 3 weeks time.
The only hysterical thing about news channels' take on the upcoming Election has been their insistence on repeating the same question to all those interviewed. i.e:
"Do you want Immigration to go up, or down?
What an evil bastarding question to foist upon unsuspecting bit-part politicians, especially as they squirm and try everything not to answer it directly
It's definitely up there with "Have you stopped beating your wife?" line of reasoning

Yes the establishment, which sky, bbc, itv, c4, are all a part of know labour and the liberals can't win outright, but if they can just win enough marginal seats we can have another hung parliament situation and boris will be hamstrung on brexit related votes, that's clearly the plan and also why this american woman has resurfaced recently to damage boris.
Small percentages can make a huge difference to the outcome and makeup of parliament when you have 4 popular parties contesting seats.
