Isolated.

[gulliver1]

Boris is now isolated in Downing St with no long standing "Trusted"advisers to turn to. And is at risk of becoming uncontrollable says a Tory source.
Six out of ten people also see Boris as untrustworthy. Do you think its time to let him go ?.

[Jackdaw33]

There's no guessing about it. Look at the demographic make-up of London.

[emmie]

we will have to wait and see.

[emmie]

what do you mean the demographic of London, there's over 8 million souls who live here, many of whom do vote for Labour. But there are pockets where the tories made gains. I know this sounds like racial prejudice, but London does have a large Asian population and most likely vote for Sadiq Khan when the Mayoralty comes around soon. For some unknown reasons my friends - firmly in the camp of the well off, always vote Labour.

Emmie, local council elections have always been a poor indicator of what happens in a general election. Many voters actually vote for the candidate rather than his party.

[anneasquith]

Coatbridge isn’t in Glasgow. A bit of false news on AB .

[emmie]

London is by and large unwinnable by Tories, Khan will be reelected.

[emmie]

according to the map its in North Lanarkshire.

[Jackdaw33]

That's true, Danny. I have just voted Labour, not for the party but because the candidate is a damned good councillor.

[emmie]

our local MP is SKS.

[naomi24]

Anneasquith, it’s 8 miles from Glasgow city centre. Near enough.

[emmie]

Jackdaw, what about the Tory candidate?

[Peter Pedant]

Mank - - i think andie burnham is good - corbyn not so good

[anneasquith]

Maybe in your world Naomi .

[emmie]

nonetheless i can see the Tories not doing well here in the capital.
whatever its demographic.

[Jackdaw33]

//Jackdaw, what about the Tory candidate? \\

Don't know him and had no maildrops. The Labour candidate has been doing the job for 8 years very satisfactorily, which is what council elections should be all about, not party politics.

[naomi24]

In Google’s world, anneasquith. I’ve never heard of the place.

[theshedman]

Gulliver you have said many times that you want Boris and the Tory party out of office but not once have you ever said who you want to take over from them. Not a name of a person or a party. Have you got any idea at all or is it just a plain vendetta against whover is in power at the time of your rants.

[emmie]

so you are happy to give your vote to the opposition. i have voted by post and have chosen the party above all else. It won't get me anywhere i don't think because Khan will take the second term in office. Shaun Bailey seems a bit out of his depth to be fair.

[naomi24]

Emmie, do you not think that considering the Tory candidate is black, he may do well? I’ve no doubt khan’s ethnicity was a factor in his success.

[emmie]

maybe, but his policies are not ones that seem achievable. so many youth centres, so many more police on the streets, and other somewhat misguided pops at Khan. I don't think he has a hope in hell of winning, he may do well, but not enough to beat Khan, not now.
