You can mock, and you will repeatedly, but the Tories underestimate this message at their peril. So many of his points resonate with many voters. The Tories esp. Cummins may want the GE to be all about Brexit but it is so much more than that.

If Labour pound on about the failed tenure of this Government, the venal character of Johnson, the race to the bottom they want to embark on and the support of the wealthy at the expense of the majority then they will gain votes. I personally think the Corbyn factor will blunt their ability to gain a majority so we are heading for coalition territory I feel.

Mocking?? They're all as bad as each other, I don't (won't) discriminate between them, all will get the same treatment on 'undeliverable' promises and stupidity . . . do you really think Corbyn (or any PM) can eradicate corruption and tax evasion by the very same people who run the country?

No it isn’t, this election is all about Brexit. Corbyn will be desperate to not talk about Brexit as the Labour policy is stupid.

Labour will try to talk about anything other than Brexit.

If they succeed in changing the agenda they have a chance. If Brexit stays as the focus of this election they will find it challenging.

Did not Theresa May make the 2017 General Election all about Brexit as its a potentially a very dangerous road for a party to make that the fulcrum of their election campaign in my view.

Thats another big mistake in my view for them to be campaigning in this forthcoming election on a big remain platform.

Yes, mocking .. and yes, I do think a PM can "eradicate corruption and tax evasion by the very same people who run the country". We just need to elect the right person ..

Would you care to explain . . to a simple man like me . . just how the 'right person' could achieve this act of enormous magnitude without crippling the country and its economy?
