May and Corbyn clash over Brexit ordeal

Mr Corbyn was also quizzed over whether the pledges outlined in his manifesto were realistic as audience member Jack Rouse challenging him with the comment “last time Labour was in government they left a note at the Chancellor’s office saying “We’ve no money left”.

“Theresa May says no deal is better than a bad deal”.

Conversely, Corbyn’s warm reception by the audience at the same BBC debate suggests the Labour leader “has tapped into something that the commentariat has largely missed”, says Bush.

“They need to help people”.

In what will be seen as a major blow for the Conservatives, the London Evening Standard said Thursday night that in a shock surge, Corbyn was now more popular in London than May. Labour analysis suggested that 10.8 million pensioners may lose out if the benefit was restricted only to those eligible for pension credit – although the Conservatives have not set out details of how the proposed means test would work. The poll caught widespread criticism from politicos and polling pros alike, with some noting that Britain’s first-past-the-post system (whereby voters vote for a local politician, not a nationwide leader) made seat predictions an exceptionally risky game.

Dan Kattal said he had voted for leaving the European Union but voiced support for Corbyn, who had campaigned for a vote to stay in the bloc. “At the end of the day, honesty is the best policy”, he said.

Corbyn representatives said the Tories were “running a hateful campaign based on smears, innuendo and fake news“.

And by attracting thousands of zealous young new supporters and re-engaging hard-left activists who had abandoned the party under Mr Blair, Mr Corbyn has created a power base that helped him survive an attempted coup by party moderates previous year.

The fact that dozens of seats are not behaving the way they were expected to will undoubtedly make uncomfortable reading for Prime Minister Theresa May.

In the viral video, which the Tories have paid to have inserted into people’s Facebook feeds, Sky News presenter Sophy Ridge can be seen asking whether he condemns the IRA.

Other parties with a significant parliamentary presence include the Scottish National Party (SNP), the Liberal Democrats and Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist.

Theresa May has rejected accusations that she went back on her word by going to the polls, telling voters: “I had the balls to call an election“.

“Here’s more evidence of the Conservatives’ wobbly week, with Labour improving again and the last two weeks of campaigning seeing a big hit to the prime minister’s personal ratings”, said Ipsos’s Gideon Skinner.

Since 1974, it has always voted for the party that ended up winning the national election.

“If you don’t think Corbyn and his coalition of chaos are up to negotiating Brexit, keeping our economy strong and our nation secure – there’s no safe way to vote Labour or anyone else, wherever you live”. Ms. Lucas asked Ms. Rudd, over British arms sales to Saudi Arabia, after the Home Secretary insisted that Britain needed a strong arms industry to succeed economically and protect itself.

Chief executive of the Jewish Leadership Council, Simon Johnson, said “this is probably the first election at which this has been an issue” to such an extent. “It is the worst of all deals”.

“We still need to think about people“.

After all, it was her decision to call an election, despite previously ruling out an early poll.
