That YouGov projection would mean another election within months.

Try putting the numbers together to make coalitions (working majority = 321) and it doesn't work.

Tory + DUP = 318
Tory + Liberal Democrats = 320

Labour + SNP = 307
Labour + SNP + Liberal Democrats = 317

Disaster.

It looks as if Corbyn himself will be attending the debate tonight; good move on his behalf I'd say.

And I agree^ an outcome like that is incredibly undesireable, especially when we're meant to be navigating our way out of the EU.

yessss jezza!! DESTROY HER!!!! amber rudd is going to be absolutely rinsed

[FlyingJesus]

It's a good move for him because he has nothing to lose and his hordes of fans don't even care what he says they'll cheer anyway like the other night, so he's definitely going to look like the top contender tonight

Her reaction was hilarious! She had no idea what to say!

[FlyingJesus]

This "debate" on tv atm is awful, literally no-one is actually answering any of the questions being put to them and just saying their pre-written bits over and over

[MKR&*42]

It is quite a mess.

But I am loving Caroline Lucas tbh she's such a sweetheart.
