[QUOTE="Captain Haddock"]Top taxpayers paying even more money under this excellent Conservative government!
What's not to like?
Cruella apparently what started out as a vehicle purely to show her as more of a statesperson type than Corbyn has backfired badly. Candidates that were previously banging on about the PM to voters are now backtracking and reverting back to their own virtues
Charlie continually refers to Stacey as Corbyn's candidate I bet he will change tack over the next week.

Only have to read the partisan drivel on here to understand why people are turned off.
I've yet to hear a single positive reason to vote for a party.

I partly agree David, tit for tat postings along the lines of a schoolboy saying mine is bigger than yours are a complete waste of time.

It is however a FACT that mine actually IS bigger than yours.

I have now received a leaflet from Charlie.He bulldozed Burlington House,rebuilt the railway line and managed to build a Health Facility in Coombe Valley road wrong location and not. A Hospital.i would like to see him spend a little time talking to people in St Radigunds,then maybe he would see how the other half lives.Ok to canvass here In River where most people have more than one car and neat tidy gardens.
If he gets re elected please will he spend time in some of our deprived areas.Ensure the children are able to look forward to a rosy future.
Before I get an unkind jibe from David I was a Governor at St Radigunds School for ten years some of the best days of my life.

Charlie gives the impression he never wants to mix with the lowly and normal people unless there is a picture to be taken.

FWIW he was canvassing in Mill Hill yesterday with a remarkable amount of success. He views it a bit like missionary work saying 'and why should poor people not share he benefits of Conservatism?' which I, for one, find laudable.
St Radigunds and Maxton tomorrow apparently. (Which is a bit of a risky strategy as many Labour voters, after years of watching daytime TV and playing video games al day, have such a short attention span that they've forgotten there's an election next week)
Let's hope he doesn't end up in the cooking pot!

I am totally with Charlie on the hospital issue, he banged on about from day one and it was built within five years. The previous incumbent sat on his hands for thirteen years watching the old hospital dwindle to nothing.

Provincial reporter interviews PM and fails to draw anything interesting from her.
May is interminably dull, but the problem is his not her's.

Tories have certainly run a lack lustre campaign so far, always going on about Corbyn and Brexit and not much else.
I saw a bit of the Andrew Neil interview this evening, I should think that by the end he wanted to deck Tim Farron.

Most of my early predictions have gone badly wrong notably that the Lib Dems would make a recovery by appealing to the 48% that voted to remain in the EU. It transpires that those people have moved on and accepted the situation. The problem for Labour is that an average of current polls would show their percentage share enough normally to win a General Election but the smaller parties have crumbled giving the Tories a healthy lead at this stage.

Wonder how Charlie will get on, out and about tomorrow in the traditionally Labour stronghold of St Radigunds's (sic).
