Still a Tory supporter. But not a TM fan. Too weak and wobbly IMO.

Watched Corbyn on Andrew Marr this morning. Couldn't believe what I was hearing when he discussed solving the homeless crisis by giving local authorities the right to effectively take over properties that people had bought off plan and were standing empty.

People will simply stop buying such properties and then builders will slow down on building

He also mentioned buying housing stock off housing associations, which makes a bit more sense.

There is something a bit wrong with foreign investors, buying land, building luxury apartments; then keeping them empty until the time is right and they can make a profit. Meanwhile there are homeless UK citizens outside. Affordable housing ,not penthouses is what we need.

In the wake of the surprise outcome of the 2017 election people began to look for an explanation for Labour’s unexpectedly good performance. One explanation quickly became prominent: Jeremy Corbyn had mobilised previously disengaged young voters, who had turned out in droves to vote Labour.

This claim is largely based on anecdotes. Corbyn appears to be particularly popular amongst the young, often photographed surrounded by young people. Chants of ‘oh Jeremy Corbyn’ echoed around the Glastonbury festival, and Labour’s social media strategy is cited as energising young voters in droves.

Conservative MPs are becoming increasingly vocal about their frustration with Theresa May's government, with several senior backbenchers expressing their frustration at her lack of vision.

Nicholas Soames, Mid Sussex MP and outspoken grandson of Winston Churchill, this morning said it would not be enough to expect people would vote against a Corbyn-led Labour. In one of his trademark lengthy hashtags, the veteran backbencher asked "where is the bold and brave" when it comes to government policy, adding "so far it's dull, dull, dull".

If El Gov don't get visibly moving on a number of fronts like the NHS and housing we'll have Corbyn in power by default. A chilling prospect.
