    Dont believe a word about Lib Dems and Labor making it harder for the Brexit negotiations.

    Labor have supported Brexit and most of the people likely to vote Labor are also more likely to be leavers than remainers , Lib Dems only have 9 MP's so complete utter cr@p.

    This is about her setting her own agenda, not being elected she has had to follow Camerons pledges things like not raising tax and NI which will disappear off the election manifesto like a fart in a gale. IR35 for private companies will come in to UK law, if you stay in the UK expect that.


    Not sure why Corbin has welcomed this considering that he is likely to get booted out when the Tories get a bigger majority, turkey voting for Christmas.

    Lib Dems will gain seats at the cost of Labor as will many other parties but not enough to be a problem as Lib Dems and UKIP have no money to fight a GE, read last week that Mr Banks wants some of his money back from UKIP and Lib Dems have been cash strapped for years.

    How much of an advantage doe the Tories have in the House of Commons, surely not worried about this:

    Prosecutors are set to announce in the days ahead of the June 8 general election whether a string of Conservative MPs and officials will face charges in relation to allegations of breaching spending limits in the 2015 poll, the Press Association reports.

    A Crown Prosecution Service spokesman told PA that the announcement of the snap election would have no impact on the timing of decisions on whether to press charges.

    Some 14 police forces have sent files to the CPS and decisions on charges are due in late May and early June.

    The precise deadlines for decisions vary from area to area, depending on the date last year on which the local force secured an extension to its investigations into alleged breaches of election finance laws.

    Allegations highlighted by Channel 4 News and the Daily Mirror relate to busloads of Conservative activists sent to key seats, whose expenses were reported as part of national campaign spend rather than falling within the lower constituency limits.

    The CPS declined to say which constituencies are involved, but said files had been received from the Metropolitan Police, as well as forces in Avon and Somerset, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Devon and Cornwall, Gloucestershire, Greater Manchester, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, West Mercia, the West Midlands and West Yorkshire.
