Am getting numbers that show a real chance of hung parliament.

Slight recovery in Labour polls. The boundary bias makes this quite sensitive.

I.e. what every sensible person has known for years. But it's still nice to have a Labour shadow cabinet member admit it.

(Or the alternative is that he is "joshing" as he now says...it which case this is humour under a Marxist government.)

I can't see how it was his bad day - just another barking up by some dopey leftie cub. He was desperately trying to deliver the simple message:

You have to ask yourself what he is thinking when he does or says something. At least I do ask that. I rarely wait for the Guardian to tell me what he is thinking.

Hard to say, you need to give it time, 12 December 2020.
It could be the winter of our discontent.

The barking cub? It was a pun. A reporter cub. Barking up. I'm just tired of and embarrassed by their infantile behaviour.

So, please put the unreconstructed Marxist monikers to one side, focus on developing our own compassionate Conservative brand and develop a credible attack on Corbyn’s Labour – something that can really resonate with millions of our fellow countrymen and women.

Paul, are you listening?

Where's the Kleenex?

That's a quote from an article saying that young people (are you listening, Cuch!) don't know anything about Marx. Clearly Labour voters also don't know much about that other bloke, the one we aren't supposed to mention online, the Time Man of the Year in 1938!
