Well to be fair it was I think 34% for him 33% for her and 30% no idea

So not exactly overwhelming and what is the error rate?

I believe it when I see it re polls, newspaper articles etc

Yes, obviously the DM.

There are three papers who claim the DUP have held 'secret' talks with Labour:
The Daily Fail
The Sun
The Express


One question - if they're 'secret' - how do these rags know about it?
All three are well known for being 'economical' with the truth, particularly when it comes to politics.

No mention of it in the Independent or Guardian.

Good to know a 'reliable' source is used for issuing views as though they were statements of fact!!

You read a copy of the Dail Mail wow did lightning strike??

Still calling for the PM to be shot then I see.

Seen on pub copy of the D.M. Today...
J.C ahead of May in polls
D.U.P. In talks with Labour and LDs - Labour has no problem spending £ 2 bn
D.U.P. demand open border with Eire written into law.

elsewhere May proposal for EU residence rights gets null points.
Maybe 12 Aug was overly optimistic.

All those probably unsafe flats is outrageous. It's said the unsafe stuff was slightly cheaper well often cheapest isn't the best as is proven here but how come no one tested it properly in the first place.
As Barbra said who will lead if not May?...not saying she's the only one capable just who would take over none are obvious outstanding stars.
Rollo comment obviously goes to the Glorious 12th but why use that...just say come the end of summer she's gone or some such not she's going to get shot and killed.

Agree don't think Mrs May will be long at no 10 but who will lead the Country ?..its just a sham. Dermot :-D apparently 600 high rise flats unsafe ? they are all being checked .disgusting putting peoples safety last suppose in an ideal world four stories high is enough ?

They wanted £ 2 bn plus extras as time goes by as is customary for the D.U.P. Who see "agreements" in much the same way as the Danes a thousand years ago. The D.U.P. have become nervy that the Tory govt may not be long for this world so now they want the money up front or some kind of binding commitment that would outlast the current regime.

May is also up against lack of trust from the EU who later today will politely reject her plan for the Home Office to look after their 3 million citizens living in the UK.

Maybot will prob survive until 12 Aug but after that the guns will be out.

The mixture in the cauldron is bubbling nicely as expected.

News reports from the experts indicate that a decision is likely to be made sometime during the current millennium.

Well are the DUP talks still on ? or are they demanding to much any one any idea Barbra :-S

I'll second that Barbra. I was very fortunate to have a good education behind me

Just had to get that of my chest Going to bed Night :-)

I was Educated at a very good secondary modern school & then college & night school..good teachers & good pals .it was I believe the making of me .Tolerance. manners. don't disrespect your elders .I never swore in front of my Mum & Dad .Todays children need to get out & about stop sitting behind computer screens ..they are our future set a good example & make sure they appreciate all love given . Education. Education is important for every child one very important priority For our PM to get right Barbra

Wouldn't get an A in essay writing ;-)

You know those brain teasers you get on Facebook etc where the words are spelt incorrectly and yet you can still read it..........I suppose it's the same when there's so many abbreviations and half thoughts too.

Still in sunny Bournemouth... The Chinés this afternoon childhood revisited. The view from Iow to Purbeck is better than the Riviera :-) The Rentawreck has A/C which is a very good thing.

Lots of spare time the guy from Gc we rehoused is minding the fort.

The D.U.P. are demanding £ 2bn in extra spending which as usual will suffer serious shrinkage. No chance May will just have to go it alone, far less risky. Labour, SNP LDs won't risk a confidence vote until and unless a. They can be sure to win it and b. They feel that they have the country onside. So so long as she kicks the Dup into the long grass she is safe until the autumn barring a row with Barnier.

Her big conjoined problems by then will be the start of trade negotiations and the brexiters throwing their rattles out of the pram.

brexit as envisaged by Ukip Liam Fox Rees Mogg et al is dying on the vine.
careful expectation mgt and Hammond is almost there. Not if the economy falls off the brexit cliff though.

Like as not by the time 3 to 5 years of transition taper off the UK will quietly rejoin.

Thought Rollo was on Holiday ? Me thinks DUP want to much before they join our PM & party were does that leave Mrs May .? Did you see Corbyn & Mrs May Talking at the State opening of Parliament so Friendly :-S

PMS a la carte...

Strong And stable, weak and wobbly, Prosperity first, man most likely to, even a return to the rose garden promises. Apparently the decision depends on just how much cash can be palmed to Stormont without enraging the Scots blues. The answer of course is not much.

The numbers man Phil is now in effective control tightly allied to Mark Carney. much to the chagrin of the Brexiters. DD hardly aquitted himself with honours at first skirmish.

It is somewhile since we have seen the spectacle of half the Ukgov apparatus frantically u turning while the other half just charges on towards the cliff edge. No wonder the Queen has not got her hat on hip hip hip hooray.
