She reduces the threat from severe back down to critical after police arrest 14 in connection to the arena bomb

Does she actually no what she's doing?

I don't think so

The hights threat level is a massive drain on resources

It's only used when they are certain something WILL happen again

It's not saying it may not happen again

And it's not the decision of 1 person - it's the recommendation of all the security forces as to what state of alert we are at.

Whatever the state of alert & whatever level of protection you throw at it, you can't ensure the absolute safety of all the residents of the UK at all times

It is NIT a decision made by Theresa May. It is made by JTAC. The Terror Action Committe (or something like....). The decision was taken out of political hands several years ago so that ignorant people wouldn't try to score cheap political points.

Leave it out!

She was Home Secretary for six years before ending up as PM. She made the cuts to the police in the community that have decimated their ability to gather the intelligence on perpetrators of these crimes before they can be committed.

But apparently, despite being warned repeatedly by the police what the effects would be, apparently now 'enough is enough'. Which to Theresa May and Amber Rudd means making our internet less secure with no reason, but not putting any more police back on the streets.

She is also planning to cut our armed forces even further.

I am truly amazed there is anyone left in the UK who has any confidence in her whatsoever.

Threat level Critical can not be maintained indefinitely due to manning capabilities.

Imagine you sprinting the 1500m. Doesn't work.

It is also about public perception and restoring confidence.

Please can everyone stop being ignorant about British politics. One person doesn't call the shots.. She is the leader of a party. She never cut police levels or reduce the threat level. The government did with more knowledge and information that we could possibly know.

She's a charlatan. Didn't achieve good results in her years as home secretary - missed immigration targets by light years.

Isn't meeting the general public - just groups of conservative supporters or captive employees in front of their bosses. Won't debate with other leaders - she's just a puppet constantly repeating the soundbites like a robot that the PR spin doctors have told her to.

Hopeless grey waste of air

Sorry, you are getting it wrong!

It has been clearly spelled out in the Media in recent weeks that the PM has no direct influence in how the security threats are judged.

As previously mentioned, these levels are determined by a group of Security Services and other representative experts.

The PM in power merely delivers their decision.

Simples!

She was the Home Secretary for 6 years.

She called the shots.

What's sick is trying to get people to pretend she does not bear responsibility for her actions, the actions that have made the lives of each of us far less safe, and once again contributed to horrible, senseless deaths.

That's what's sick.

They would need armed forces patrolling EVERY street and EVERY building in the country.

Threat level makes no difference. "Highly fucking likely" would be more appropriate. Won't change anything though will it.

No, I don't but arguing about the rights and wrongs of the terror level seems petty at best. Having armed forces or armed police patrolling the streets is a nice idea but ensuring they are in the right place at the right time is going to be the trickiest bit.

I don't believe these terrorists are particularly well planned in attacks like these, they'll drive round aimlessly until they find a crowd of vulnerable people, for this kind of terrorism I have no idea how you really mitigate against it and I find that really rather frightening.

You mitigate against it by having a force of community police officers who know the area, know the people, and gather intelligence to inform them of who may want to carry out such an attack.

Theresa May, as Home Secretary, decimated our community policing resources.

When the police warned her this would make us less safe, she accused them of 'scaremongering'.

Unless she banned vans from being driven and banned people from going out, or had everywhere crawling with more soldiers than the whole world has, let alone the UK, how do you stop maniacs in a van from running people down and then jumping out and attacking them with knives?

Everyone will have their own opinions but for me it's really about what is truly important to you. I know plenty of teachers, medical staff and police... Whilst their political views differ, they are all clear in their thoughts that this government has decimated our services and will continue to do so

Labour may not have all the answers but their manifesto certainly seems to place greater emphasis on improving our public services.

Financially the tories look after me better... However if I have to pay a little bit more tax so my family and friends have access to the NHS then I'm happy to do so... The majority of us were brought into this world with the help of NHS midwives so we shouldn't turn our back on them now.

It's pointless trying to "deal with extremists" by their very nature they are past that point. And actually "dealing with them" generally creates more.

We need to stop people becoming extremists in the first place.

Better community policing and cohesion here,

Stop bombing civilians elsewhere.

Give proper aid to the displaced and desperate refugees.

Get tougher with the states feeding these conflicts.

And generally make the world a better place for everyone.

It sounds a stretch, but the alternative doesn't seem to be going very well does it?!

"Everyone will have their own opinions but for me it's really about what is truly important to you. I know plenty of teachers, medical staff and police... Whilst their political views differ, they are all clear in their thoughts that this government has decimated our services and will continue to do so

Labour may not have all the answers but their manifesto certainly seems to place greater emphasis on improving our public services.

Financially the tories look after me better... However if I have to pay a little bit more tax so my family and friends have access to the NHS then I'm happy to do so... The majority of us were brought into this world with the help of NHS midwives so we shouldn't turn our back on them now.

Very well said

We would all give more to protect our way of life's

Unfortunately those that have the wealth don't want to pay anything at all

Maybe the wealthy don't want to pay anything but everyone has a vote... We should all use it and vote not for the person, not for the party, but for what is important to each and every one of us

I done that last time but nothing changed for us as a family! I'm still very much undecided about Thursday."

That's politics! I'm in a Tory stronghold however I'm clear on my vote... It will still remain a Tory stronghold regardless of my vote but my values in life mean the NHS means more to me than getting a tax break

Does she actually no what she's doing?

She knows EXACTLY what she's doing. The general population won't be privy to what goes on behind closed doors. Believe me, because I am privy to one very small part of what happens next.

Poor poor.

Changing the threat level is about what is known. If you had better knowledge then you should have shared it rather than saving it to score a political point after the event.

However I assume you are just using a tragedy in a awful manner.

In case you did not get the memo, political activity is paused till Monday.

all those saying she should have gone against the summary of JTAC are absolutely idiotic....

they are called "Soft" targets for a reason.... the reason is that you can't have police everywhere at all times...

so unless you are all proposing having a policeman on every street corner.... or checking every single car that ever heads out for a drive.... how would you propose that attacks like this are stopped....

I agree with you a great deal on this But do you not think it is time to take some lessons from this i.e. should they now have barriers (bollards) in areas like this?

It can never be stopped but we need to assume it is always going to happen... and take all the steps we can to make it more difficult for the future.

Unless she banned vans from being driven and banned people from going out, or had everywhere crawling with more soldiers than the whole world has, let alone the UK, how do you stop maniacs in a van from running people down and then jumping out and attacking them with knives?

This is going to be an election victory that will change UK politics, history, economics and social landscape for the next twenty years. I don't think typical allegiances can be considered here.

If Labour will win. They will make a hash of Brexit (they cannot not in the four yrs in Govt). Two years for Article 50 disentanglement + seven for any trade deals. They will put us into a major repayment crisis (consider who is lending to us), to fund their programmes. The Tories will get voted back in come 2022 and put us back into major austerity, close up Union regs, creating strikes where people will again forget why the country was near bankrupt. Brexit will be kyboshed, trade deals will suffer as they come to their 7yr term. Labour will get voted in again in 2026 as nobody likes austerity, the Tories will be blamed for signing off bad trade deals and not making good on the deficit Labour created.

The cycle will then start again.

And she got it WRONG

Do you think if the threat level had of remained at severe, last nights attack wouldn't have happened?"

Threat level WAS at severe. OP has them the wrong way around. Critical is the highest level - and was the level we went to in the wake of the Manchester attack. Severe is the next tier down.

To be fair, both levels are high alert levels.

Severe is that an attack is highly likely.

Critical is that such an attack is imminent.

The problem comes in trying to anticipate the type of attack that happened last night

"General question for those who feel Labour will not be able to negotiate a good brexit deal... Why is that?"

I am flipping so much. Taking a long view, taking reactions, u-turns and what I see as populism to buy votes (VAT reductions/free student ed). So here's my view.

I have my doubts - a change of Government is an upheaval when times are easy so now it is 10 fold.

It will be an extremely busy time, yet he is tired after 40 minutes of question time. He has final say yet his ability to gain party support is circumspect. He has to form Government but does he have a full cabinet or one that again will support him if in coalition.

He has to deliver Brexit and deliver his manifesto. Two enormous deliveries.

His reforms to the Nation depend on 3 things: 1 Lending, 2 Taxes, 3 Raise in Corporation tax (over 4yrs)

Article 50 will not stop during the process of Nation reform - his ministers will be stretched.

Once legislatively disentangled, we know if single market access comes with freedom of movement or not (Keir Starmer like Thornbury seems to change like the wind), trade negotiations with countries can begin meaning they will have to be voted in for a second term probably a third for his spending and deals to take effect.

Labour unlike Tories have already said they would deal at any cost, meaning EU already knows our hand, even if the Tories were planning to deal on immigration it's better the opposition don't know your hand (we don't fully know theirs).

I always fail to understand why people keep banging on about missed immigration targets and trying to get numbers for future immigration when we have no control who comes into the UK from the EU member states.

We as current members of the EU have free movement of people from the EU into the UK. Nothing we can do about it until we leave...... If 100k plus people want to come into the UK from Europe then we can do nothing to stop it. So how can we restrict immigration???

So you think we should go back to nation building? As locals are inept at doing it.

Or we should stay out and let tyrants wipe out cities.

Or we should help those on the ground and when they fuck it up blame ourselves.

We've tried all the different ways and in the end everyone criticises.

Iraq/Afghanistan - nation building

Libya - assistance to locals

Syria - stay the fuck out

Whichever option you take even doing nothing, the extremists will blame their actions on it. In the end they are fucked up and will attack anyone they can as they are angry with the world.

We didn't build much in Iraq, that was usful to the local populace.

Libya. We assisted, then bugged out leaving the job half done.

We have not kept out, but played round the edges (as have a dozen other nations), effectivly not allowing the thing to end.

Yes, the extremists will, they are not exactly looking fir our good points. But they need the good will of the local populace. If we don't screw them over, there will be no new (or far fewer) extremists, and they'll stop supporting, or be more willing to oppose the extremists.

You see this is what puts me off. There is no admittance of the difficulties an incoming Govt will face. It is likely (whether Labour or Tory) that Brexit will affect investment. If we become unlendable, interest on loans will simply be impossible to repay.

I didn't vote Tory in the last so you don't have to convince me of the reasons to vote for them now, though I am not going to vote for a party that promises the earth to get into Government that isn't capable.

It took 11mnths to have the hearing for Livingstone, so long I thought he'd been fired. The outcome though was a one year paid suspension. What were they doing all that time because they weren't focussed on much else - the hearing was independent but 11mnths to get to it, on such an issue?

Labour have said any deal is better than no deal, it was said in leaders questions just the other night where Starmer was put to the forefront. He is a lawyer not a negotiator. A negotiator would be uninterested in legalities (right and wrong), and more interested in the outcome, so are you going to rely on Barry Gardiner to fight our corner?

I can see why May would call the election. The Govt is in place, she could easily reshuffle ministers or policies that need to be amended (she announced revision to employment and mental health during leader questions with Dimbelby), though otherwise it would be onto Breixt negotiations for 4 years without much change to the national policy. If any part of the Corbyn plan fails, they do not have the time during this term to reshuffle or revise their plans, they have to continue.

You disagree that they would be stretched if they get in and too that their policies may conflict if in coalition - I think that is an easy observation for anyone. (late hope this makes sense)

Teresa May and probably will fuck us all for her own gain, but the decision to drop from critical to severe threat was correct.

An attack is expected, but not from an actively investigated source.

"Please can everyone stop being ignorant about British politics. One person doesn't call the shots.. She is the leader of a party. She never cut police levels or reduce the threat level. The government did with more knowledge and information that we could possibly know.

The p.m doesn't sit on a throne shouting orders out!

And using terrorist incidents to sway political opinions is sick

Very well said

but it's ok for mrs maygabe to use these recent terrorist incidents to sway political opinion by telling the public that labour would leave us vulnerable to a terrorist threat etc etc ..... i see"

Every government since and including Blair has jeopardised this countrys' security.. by jumping into bed with bush over reports that were doctored. JATAC... Joint Anti Terrorist Action Committee give their recommendations to COBRA committee.. they then make the decision to lower the threat. The radical cells and factions of terrorists are hiding in plain sight.. and until the government sit up and take the advice from all security services... they are going to leave us wide open to atrocities such as Manchester and London.

Decisions made by the police last night.. in such circumstances are hard and such decisions you have to stand by!! In those situations I would make exactly the same decision.

I get that but you could just as easily and legitimately say the same about Corbin and labour.

The decider for me is the EU. Based purely on that, I'm reluctantly voting Tory first time in my life. I can't believe its come to this. It's like when survivors have to eat the dead. It's abhorant and goes against every fibre of myy being but we have to get out of the EU and we won't with anyone else. At least after Brexit we can do away with her and her Tory cuts. If we end up under junker and the Euro commission for good, we are just completely fucked.

And Muslim attacks have nothing to do with religion really.. that's just phycology. It's British foreign policy and immigration. One provides the motive, the other provides the means. As long as we support Israel, attack, invade and occupy Middle East countries ....and then flood our country with the refugees and migrants FROM THOSE COUNTRIES we will be in danger.

Lets face it...politicians of all flavours will generally say whatever they need to in order to get elected. Sometimes they deliver, sometimes they dont. Sometimes they were never going to do it in the first place, sometimes it was prevented by things outside of their control.

A lot of truth in that, though I would like to believe that Corbyn is different. He has been incredibly consistent with his voting and behaviour his entire career.

Often going against the party line, when it was not his own belief on a subject.

Brexit has been impeded by remainers like the House of Lords and Gina miller and those EU shill high court judges.

I wonder too if 50 men on a rugby pitch would make the game better.

More does not equal a better service if the management is not effect. Waste was happening throughout the Police and forces when it was inherited and it is a sad fact that cost cutting had to happen.

Having recently seen Corbyns video with the BBC stating No Shoot to Kill Orders for the Police in 2015. I have realised my annoyance for the man that will say and do anything to the public to get into office.

He is not getting my vote.

"She reduces the threat from severe back down to critical after police arrest 14 in connection to the arena bomb

Does she actually no what she's doing?

I don't think so

Lost all faith in this woman

I'm clueless about Thursday

She was Home Secretary for six years before ending up as PM. She made the cuts to the police in the community that have decimated their ability to gather the intelligence on perpetrators of these crimes before they can be committed.

But apparently, despite being warned repeatedly by the police what the effects would be, apparently now 'enough is enough'. Which to Theresa May and Amber Rudd means making our internet less secure with no reason, but not putting any more police back on the streets.

She is also planning to cut our armed forces even further.

I am truly amazed there is anyone left in the UK who has any confidence in her whatsoever."

Totally agree and even when ex senior Police Officers come out as they have in the last weeks and say her cutting Police numbers has caused massive problems operationally and with morale, she has just not answered.

It has been said if the attack in London had been in most other cities, the ARV (Armed response vehicle) would no way have been there that fast, due to lack of resources!

Just to be clear, Labour don't say any deal is better than no deal. What Corbyn has said (repeatedly) is that no deal IS a bad deal. May is trying to play it that if she can't negotiate a deal in time, we just take our ball away and go home and everything will be as before. It won't. No deal will be catastrophic to the country.

So despite us having:

- Terrorism Act 2000

- Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001

- Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005

- Terrorism Act 2006

- Counter-Terrorism Act 2008

- Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Act 2011

- Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015

- Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014

- Investigatory Powers Act 2016

And over 100 statutory instruments with 'terrorism' in their title since 2000...

...May says that we need to introduce stronger legislation to protect us.

This all happening whilst May has cut 20,000 police officers, and planning to cut more from military too.

Then despite the fact that one of the perpetrators was on a FUCKING DOCUMENTARY about jihadists, May says that we need no 'safe space' for terrorists to communicate online. Safe space?! Just turn on Channel 4 for fuck's sake! If there were a few more police officers able to keep and ear out to the community and what is going on, maybe this could have been avoided.

She wants to legislate that communication providers make their services LESS secure with 'back door's so she can intercept them. This, despite the fact that cryptography is a known mathematical concept. You can't just legislate it out of existence. That's like saying "I'm going to tackle tax evasion by making addition and multiplication illegal".

You seriously couldn't make this shit up.

She is a threat to our country's security. End of.

So if we look at it all with a different hat on , we would all be complaining about how much money was being spent on policing for the last six years , at the expense of the NHS , disability , and other welfare expenses , if cuts hadn't been made .

The fact is that no matter how many police officers were on the street , we couldn't prevent a van being driven on a pavement , or a suicide bomber at an event .

How much is too much ?

No party could prevent these atrocities , no matter how many police we have .

"^ he has still not condemned the acts in London, just praised the public services and offered his condolences.

He said the following about the London attack on itv news...

"The primary responsibility for this lies with those who did it, they killed people in cold blood in a disgusting and appalling way and there's no words other than total condemnation.

Mr

If he were at the doorstep of 10 Downing St, he'd be inviting them in for tea.

Make false accusation, get proved wrong, make pathetic insult.

Well done

I wasn't being insulting. That is his policy. He does not want military intervention, he does not want shoot to kill, he believes in peace treaties. He does not add terror groups to watch lists

He will be inviting them to No' 10.

What was so insulting??????? "

Apologies if I misinterpreted your comments. I know engaging in dialogue is his preferred method of dealing with terrorism, after your initial post though I thought you were suggesting that by using said method he wouldn't be dealing with the situation properly. Maybe 'insult' was the wrong word to use but if you were intending to be critical with your comment (apologies if i've misinterpreted that too! ) I think it was a little churlish of you not to acknowledge that he had actually condemned the attackers.

It's not difficult seeing the gestalt from just this thread. "As above, so below" springs to mind in a macro/mini sense.

That means the individuals on here echo what is said by society - not surprising really but one would hope for a more individualised approach from individuals.

From a purely economic point of view I don't believe a "no deal and walk away" scenario would be better than a "bad deal" whatever a "bad deal" entails (no details, you see) and I don't believe a "bad deal" would be that bad as the EU member states know we are good for them and vice versa.

What I don't like is politicians using their Brexit scare tactics that were used prior to the referendum and have subsequently proved to be largely unfounded.

Nice one and I think many would agree with this.

The tories are harping on so much about the brexit deal as it is all they have to go on.....because they know they have been found out on everything else. But the truth is they will even fuck that up as dave Cameron did.

On this issue of brexit deals, I think Corbyn has a better attitude of being willing to talk and negotiate in a more friendly manner that will I think result in a better deal for the uk. Charging in saying 'I'm strong and stable" (despite numerous U-turns) and stating that she will walk away from talks is not a good way to start. That would have been a better thing to say way down the line when loads of time and energy has been spent by the EU in negotiating - its poor form to show ones hand early on. It leaves no room for manoeuvre. I think on the issue of brexit, I'd trust Corbyn to get us a better deal.

As May says, it's a very important issue in this election so on those grounds, I shall be voting Labour.

I suppose clichés and whimsies are the chosen armoury when your voting in a leader to make tea for extremists. I accept your apology, there's no need for it though.

You stated his glorious condemnation earlier.

I was polite so there's no need for the condescension.

Re. Corbyn, there is more to his statement in terms of what should be done but i only quoted the bit you were concerned with: condemning the attackers, and with regard to that I don't know what else you would want him to say. If you want to know what else he said though I suggest you search yourself, maybe try a little harder than last time lest you make any more false accusations.

Holy crap... her avoidance of answering questions has reached a new level at her Q&A today:

https://youtu.be/EV4Ew9i_GYY?t=45m3s

If you have any doubts as to who is the organ grinder and who is the monkey...

(transcript below, there were some intervening questions omitted for brevity... that she also failed to answer.)

Financial Times: "Prime Minister, I wondered if you'd like to Say anything at all about

the way Sadiq Khan, the London Mayor, has handled this crisis — and whether you have

any views on the interventions Of foreign leaders on this issue, so soon after the

attack."

Theresa May: "l think Sadiq is doing an excellent job. I chaired a second Cobra

meeting this morning, Sadiq Khan was present, he was present at the Cobra I chaired

yesterday, and we're working with the Mayor of London to ensure, for example, the

transport network has been able to get up and running, so people can go about their

business."

Financial Times: "And foreign interventions?"

[Theresa May neglects to answer this, and invites a question from The Herald J

Bloomberg News: "You just praised the work Sadiq Khan has been doing as Mayor.

Donald Trump responded to the attack by mocking Sadiq Khan. Would a period of

silence on his behalf now be welcome?"

Theresa May: "As I've said, I'm very clear that Sadiq is doing a good job as Mayor Of

London. We're working together, and that's important. Central Government, the London Mayoralty and his Officials, working together we ensure we are responding to the attack, and to give the public reassurance. We want people to go about their business. We are very clear that we will not allow the terrorists to harm our way Of life, or to harm our democracy."

Bloomberg News: "But the President?"

Theresa May: [gazing around at the room of journalists "Now, who else? Someone at

the back, I can't see, sorry..."

BuzzFeed: "What would Donald Trump have to say for you to criticise him?"

Theresa May: "I'm very clear. I've been very happy to say that I think President Trump is wrong to have taken America out of the climate change agreement. The United Kingdom stays in it, and we believe it's an important international agreement. So I'm not afraid to say when I think President Trump is getting things wrong."

Bloomberg News: "But is he wrong on Sadiq Khan?"

Theresa May: "Sadiq Khan is doing a good job. I've said that. I think Sadiq Kahn is

doing a good job, and it's wrong to say anything else. He is doing a good job."

So Labour introduced PFI's into the NHS.

Labour introduced student grants.

Labour signed the Lisbon treaty opening our boarders completely.

Corbyn is asking for others to ask for the PM's resignation which he will support. He doesn't have the bollocks to put his own head on the line.

"Holy crap... her avoidance of answering questions has reached a new level at her Q&A today:

https://youtu.be/EV4Ew9i_GYY?t=45m3s

If you have any doubts as to who is the organ grinder and who is the monkey...

(transcript below, there were some intervening questions omitted for brevity... that she also failed to answer.)

Financial Times: "Prime Minister, I wondered if you'd like to Say anything at all about

the way Sadiq Khan, the London Mayor, has handled this crisis — and whether you have

any views on the interventions Of foreign leaders on this issue, so soon after the

attack."

Theresa May: "l think Sadiq is doing an excellent job. I chaired a second Cobra

meeting this morning, Sadiq Khan was present, he was present at the Cobra I chaired

yesterday, and we're working with the Mayor of London to ensure, for example, the

transport network has been able to get up and running, so people can go about their

business."

Financial Times: "And foreign interventions?"

[Theresa May neglects to answer this, and invites a question from The Herald J

Bloomberg News: "You just praised the work Sadiq Khan has been doing as Mayor.

Donald Trump responded to the attack by mocking Sadiq Khan. Would a period of

silence on his behalf now be welcome?"

Theresa May: "As I've said, I'm very clear that Sadiq is doing a good job as Mayor Of

London. We're working together, and that's important. Central Government, the London Mayoralty and his Officials, working together we ensure we are responding to the attack, and to give the public reassurance. We want people to go about their business. We are very clear that we will not allow the terrorists to harm our way Of life, or to harm our democracy."

Bloomberg News: "But the President?"

Theresa May: [gazing around at the room of journalists "Now, who else? Someone at

the back, I can't see, sorry..."

BuzzFeed: "What would Donald Trump have to say for you to criticise him?"

Theresa May: "I'm very clear. I've been very happy to say that I think President Trump is wrong to have taken America out of the climate change agreement. The United Kingdom stays in it, and we believe it's an important international agreement. So I'm not afraid to say when I think President Trump is getting things wrong."

Bloomberg News: "But is he wrong on Sadiq Khan?"

Theresa May: "Sadiq Khan is doing a good job. I've said that. I think Sadiq Kahn is

doing a good job, and it's wrong to say anything else. He is doing a good job."

she's taken over from farage as the floating turd that won't flush down around the u-bend

"If not we will have no NHS it will be privatised

Just what the May clan want there is so much wrong with her party I'm baffled why so many can't see what's happening to our country

Have you ever seen a loved one in a hospital corridor for over 6 hours before any assessment was made if the answer is no think about it how would you react how would you feel

They have lied from piller to post

Oh and if your rich you will be fine taxes won't hurt

You

I could go on for ever wake up smell the coffee before it's to late

So Labour introduced PFI's into the NHS.

Labour introduced student grants.

Labour signed the Lisbon treaty opening our boarders completely.

Corbyn is asking for others to ask for the PM's resignation which he will support. He doesn't have the bollocks to put his own head on the line. "

Yes Blairs labour did but he was a tory in disguise....though this lot want to sell the NHS off or finish it off.

And it was Blair labour who introduced tuition fees I think you meant to say...but that was Blair labour and corbyn is no tory in disguise believe me.

The thing is, Labour voters don't believe Labour will win, that why they think it'll be a shock, otherwise you'll be talking about a victory.

Any Tory is just talking politics, they are not talking about an upset or a shock or a victory.

Labour voters do not realise what they are actually voting in. It has been realised to me these last few moments really.

YAY to 16 year old voting ! Ipads as coercion !
