General Election June 8th

[Juan King]

I'm now coming to this conclusion. Wow, what a turnaround.

I'm starting to believe that Labour can actually win this election. I think it will be close either way which I don't think May thought when she called it. I think she is fucked.

You have to be careful of social media bubbles though. No one I work with has even mentioned the election. We all know that middle England in the marginals hold the answer and I can't see anything but a Tory win by an increased majority. How big it is isn't that relevant.

That interview with May today where they asked why she wasn't going to the debate tonight! Her bottom lip was wobbling all over. Strong & stable my arse. She is a liability.

As much as I'd love that mate I can't see it. I think that it WILL be a disaster for May making little or no ground - Corbyn will shore up support at Labour however. Farron will start his " An evening with...." tour.

How big could be hugely relevant. Needs to be by a decent margin. Otherwise, what's the fucking point?

From callling the election, to refusing to engage in the debates she's displayed spectacularly bad judgement. So much so, I now think Corbyn would be the lesser of two evils.
