    I'm thinking of having a little bet,nothing substantial, probably throwing money away. 5/2 for a hung Parliament and also 12/1 for a turnout above 75%., 5/2 for a turnout between 65 % - 69%.

    Or I could organize a sweepstake with cash to a local Charity.
    Only done 1 session Caspy and that was fine. Just so little time. Jess Philips is in the local office on Sunday afternoon so we're going out with her. She's good for a laugh if nothing else. Think we have a chance in Chingford. Losing feeling is just going on polls and that the unity that the tories have on Brexit is going to get them through as Labour and Lib Dem remainers split. Quite rum for a Brexit ambivalent like me! Very depressing when so much thought and effort goes into looking at how we can reinvest back into essential services (very appropriate for us who work in them) to try and compensate for a decade of cutting back, closures and decay. And instead we vote in a man whose own party won't trust him to turn up for a debate on climate change!

    Yeah, stick a fiver on pal - hope it comes in! :-)

    Happy Friday everyone!

    Chingford is a good target, almost 50/50 remain / leave. Get the right message across and you could well win that one and I think Green Party have stood down from that Constituency. It's the Northern heartlands I warned you about a while ago, lose them and you can forget Labour for at least 10yrs, so little thought gone into it.
    Lot of respect for Jess Phillips and Keir Starmer, although majority of politicians come with baggage.

    I was thinking of going for broke and having £20 on.

    Yep, the heartlands were always a worry, but I can tell you from voters down here that any move towards supporting any kind of hard Brexit would have had dire repercussions in London and labour South seats. The Brexit destroying machine at work...

    £20? Wild man Hope you win in more ways than one!
