Feel it's too early to start making predictions. Much depends on what Farage does - if he decides to pull back, life becomes that bit easier for the Tories. |

4/1 odds on a Conservative minority government sounds like a decent bet. I think they may get a majority, but they have a risk of running up the numbers in some areas and losing some tighter ones. I think a lot will come down to tactical voting, intra-party deals and what Farage does. 16/1 on Tory/Farage coalition too. |

So, how about some coalition government with the Monster Raving Loony Party, the Monster Raving Labour Party and the Monster Raving Tory Party? Surely that would work? |

I thought they weren't so much a group of voters they were calling thick, as those who died in Grenfell? So, they can't vote, so it's fine, no problems with the campaign at all! |

It's hard to keep up. A more curious development is the reports of Sinn Fein stepping aside for the SDLP in particular seats to help get the DUP out. Which would mean an absentionist party stepping aside in the hope that the seat gets better representation. |

I particularly liked the way the first Tory called them thick, then realised this wasn't ideal so claimed it was all a misunderstanding. In the mean time the second Tory insisted that the first one *did* mean it all along. |

Shrewsbury’s Labour candidate, who has run in the past three GEs (I think it’s three anyway) has apparently been rather unceremoniously deselected as the candidate. It was actually looking promising for a Labour victory over the Tories in Shrewsbury (Daniel Kawcyznski (sp?) has not been very popular amongst the masses of late) I doubt Labour are going to get anywhere close to his majority this time though, as Dr Laura Davies was pretty popular. |

Just another element of their grand plan to lose the election because they haven't got a clue what to do if they win. |
