Stoke should be an easy one but nothing is certain.

I think labour will keep Stoke, the other one may be more interesting.

And I think I see why the left andd liberal left are still struggling. UKIP are not far right they offer, like President Trump, a mix of left and right wing ideas that suit the thinking of many people. Call it populist or whatever but it does noot fit into the old way of left and right an that is what i undermining the Establishment who cannot get their heads around it.

On May, I'm with Gromit. She talks the talk but has yet to walk the walk.

No matter how good the candidates are with Corbyn spouting outdated and largely unwelcome semi communist dogma they havent a prayer.

And wearing his silly hat. Don't forget the hat!

Labour has lost the last two general elections by trying to be like the Conservatives. They have to change to stop losing.
While the Corbyn way may not be the right way, just staying the same is not a good option.

Gromit....."I reckon if Farage had been the UKIP candidate in Stoke, it would have been a foregone conclusion win for them"

For Gods sake....how many more times does this man have to to try and fail, before some on here get the message. He has many opportunities to convince the British public and it just isn't working.

But suppose an UKIP candidate did win in Stoke....so what ? UKIP's MPs would have doubled, from one to two !

Big deal !

I have said before, Labour has lot the plot in the UK as far as the working class are concerned so I will be very surprised if they get anywhere significant

Apparently, Nuttall has finally made his mind up ::::

I thought he did rather splendidly at convincing the public last year. Come on, Mikey! Credit where credit is due. ;o)
