That'll do me. The young will realise they do have a voice.

Talking of which I'm impressed with Macron so far. The alt-right are getting destroyed ?

We're agreeing far too much recently anybody who props the Tories up needs to go. 12k increase in Lab majority in Tooting. Looks like the kids got out of bed.

If I carry on drinking Spitfire at this rate I'll be unsure where the bedroom is.

65.31% turnout in Oldham East and Sadd. Up on last time.

Early days but the South (I know Kettering is barely south) swinging to Labour and the North (East) swinging to Tory. Strange times we live in.

?? cheers

Hung parliament exit poll. PMSL

I'm back - quite a nice day yesterday Kowenicki thanks for your kind wishes ;-) Sorry but any "die hard" Labour supporter even remotely considering voting for May isn't a "die hard" Labour supporter. Anyway, sadly another busy day so just dropping by. I expect not to be on here tomorrow either sadly (avoiding the I told you so's) but you never know........

I'm going to have to drop out of this now I have meetings solidly between 1 and 8 tonight and I will be taking the day off tomorrow to leaflet drop etc. i will leave you with my prediction although it is massively dependent on whether Corbyn's message has proven sufficiently inspirational to mobilise the 18-24 age group to get out and vote. I think the likely outcome is a Tory majority of 20-30 seats. If the 18-24 group turnout is 70% or more I think we may be in hung parliament territory. Whatever the the outcome I hope we are all in agreement that living in a society that allows us to debate our positions robustly is far far better than the alternative.

The interview for which the PCC censured the BBC? That one?

More lies - he set out his support for shoot to kill in his leaders report to the NEC following the Paris attacks of 2015.

You argue against yourself though to justify your core belief that everything Corbyn does must be wrong. Example - Corbyn has voted against every piece of terror legislation ergo Corbyn is bad. Not one (your emphasis) of the last 7 Home Secretaries has done anything effective to deal with the threat of terror. By implication therefore the nine major pieces of terror legislation brought before parliament since 9/11 have proven weak and ineffective. Corbyn voted against weak and ineffective legislation. Oh, hang on........

Welcome to the murky world of politics - how's the cognitive dissonance going?

Apparently the Tories are unleashing "attack dog" Boris on Corbyn today so be prepared to hear some words not heard outside the walls of Eton College since the 19th Century. Here he is being exposed as a liar amongst other things.

Allow can be defined as giving the necessary opportunity or time for..... I'm happy for my comments to stand.

I think there are serious questions to answer about whether May's cuts have contributed to increased terrorist activity given Manchester and London Bridge attackers were known to security services. That's not just me ex military Paddy Ashdown thinks so too. i also believe an independent public enquiry is needed to examine claims that Abedi was linked to the Libyan Islamist Fighters Group, that groups link to other Islamist terror groups and also its links to carrying out British Foreign policy by proxy in fighting to overthrow Gaddifi in 2011. It would be quite something if May was found to support known Islamist terror groups wouldn't it? Besides the Saudi government of course.

Didn't see it I was out campaigning. She's a weak link no doubt but if she's failed to hit every target set her like the previous Home Sec now PM and cut the police force by 20k and allowed 3 successful terror attacks in 4 months you'll be right to criticise her at the next election.

He needs to win first! I'm no Clinton apologist it just strikes me as perverse that in a country's presidential election the person with the popular vote loses. I know it's happened before of course.

Clinton got nearly 3m more votes than Trump, it's only because their electoral system makes ours look sensible that he got in.

They could be on holiday and awaiting signing on return.

It wasn't. You have to remember it as a friendly and his "tackle" was diabolical - I let him know admittedly with some choice language. He had to be held back by a few of his team mates (thank god!) - he came out early for the second half so I asked him if he was still running away from Gregan. Didn't take too kindly to that either.

Yes - Ryan Brooke. He and I had words as he went up the tunnel at half time and again when he came out for the second half.

Can I point you in the direction of the contents of Corbyn's speech in Carlisle tonight. They were embargoed until 7pm but are now widely available.

That's a no then.
