I have never seen that, that's excellent.

Because unbelievably, Corbyn believes in unilateral disarmament, he pretty much confirmed this on Marr on Sunday, despite the rising tensions in the world - the man is a total disaster, and I'm pretty confident he will record Labour's worst result since 1983.

I remember knocking on doors in that 83 election, gee that was a tough gig for a young lad. I hope you mean nuclear disarmament not just 'disarmament' Wouldn't put it past him though.

(great YouTube clip ruthless, I really shouldn't be watching them though, i'm supposed to be at work!)

[LeTiss]

Yeah my apologies, nuclear not total - getting a bit over excited by these markets Shaun

I think I might have violated a couple of SHR's 77 commandments

Actually just had a quick look. Videos during the races isn't mentioned. dodged a bullet there!

He's managed to unilaterally disarm his own party

Any views on people with a disability? Around 12m in the U.K. And a lot have had there benefits scraped!

nobody in power could care less , hence the cut in benefits.

unless the disabled can get together to form a distinct cohesive political block , that votes as a 12 million strong block (or any other group for that matter), scrag end at the very best.

rightly or wrongly you are at the back of the queue in effect you have no power or influence dispite your numbers.

I know there are a lot of people that have genuine disabilities that probably deserve benefits but have had them scrapped but I know a deaf lad who gets a deafness disability benefit and has claimed it for 20 years or so and he can do everything a normal person can, he even gets a free train pass and he drives a sports car

So I think they are doing well cracking down on it I just wish the people that need it most don't lose out because of those type of people!

I see BF are adding every single constituency, just like previously.

I notice though the one that borders me, Southampton Test isn't up yet. It's currently held by Labour (Alan Whitehead), who has made a great effort to do what he can for the community. However, Southampton Test voted 'Leave' on June 23rd, and he was one of the MP's who tried to stop Brexit going through

I'm interested to see what price the markets throw up, because I reckon his seat could be vulnerable

Still not up on the exchange, but it is on BF Sportsbook and Sky Bet - they have the Tories at 1.20 and Labour at 4.33

I did think Alan Whitehead might be in trouble, but not to that extent. I'd have a little punt on him at 5.00+ when it's on the exchange, as previous to Brexit he had been popular locally

Not got much of a clue in this area but when does a voter turnout market usually go up on Betfair. Surely a possibility of it being considerably lower than usual?

Thankyou Shaun, must of scrolled past it lol

Labour at 50's for the Kensington seat must be back able. Against a pro brexit CON MP Victoria Borthwick. An apparent Stop Brexit Alliance (SBA) formation surely would dwindle as seen with similar single seat attempts in the 2015GE.

20 yrs ago today since Blair and Labour's landslide victory, only feels like it was a few years ago
