Ex-Leave voter. Opposed to nihilism of no-deal and concomitant carnage, chaos and crises that it will bring. Remaining least worst option. #Remainernow.#FBPE.

@DrBob_Drop @HarryYorke1 It's only FPTP that keeps him out though.

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@huwzat Decent signing and captaincy choice, but look short of bowling pedigree to me. I expect Yorks & Middx to take a stronger looking Div2.

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@willis_macp An 'opportunity to develop its own players'? What does that mean? Hants players for GMR sides around the world? Apart from the debt issue, I don't see what benefit such a move will bring to Hants (my county).

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@nfliving @UKLabour As a Labour supporter, you should be very happy though with the selection.

@CCMembersGroup @Middlesex_CCC Regarding County Cricket, he also believes in having fewer teams, if you've read his piece with Gower @TheCricketerMag this month.

@gajido_ian I think as we head towards national bankruptcy, with further tax increases inconceivable (given the tax burden) + spending cuts also inconceivable (given the decimated public services), we will pivot towards SM membership to recover tens of billions for GDP.

@thecricketdraft Stokes will hardly play, if at all. But I have Surrey, Lancashire and Durham down as my top three next season.

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@dougjcarr @tomorrowsmps I'd be surprised if they get 10% more of the vote in a seat they once held.

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@adarkelimited @dinste1 @surreypomp Good enough for L2?

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@UKverifried @premnsikka ...but money for Inheritance Tax cuts/abolition, it seems. Wrong priorities, but a difference in moral values.

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

They are selling our humanity.

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Govt to relax rules to let councils sell assets to fund frontline services.

Is there anything left?

Once youth/community centres, playgrounds, swimming pools, libraries are sold they are lost forever.

All part of the Tory plan to privatise everything.

@NicholasTyrone If I were the Tories, I wouldn't take any comfort from this. At by-elections, other parties tend to get squeezed as voters gravitate to the principal challenger. Also the new MP is only going to sit for the seat for a few months before it's abolished.

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@andygmckay @tomhfh I think it's logical. Whoever wins is in for a few months anyway. All the polls seem to have them at broadly the level your party is polling at- without the party apparatus. As to by-elections, I doubt they'd get 10%, when most voters gravitate to the principal challenger.

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@CountyChamp Ali Orr for Hants.

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@NicholasTyrone When we have a GE, it's usually the front runner who declines the debate(s) because he/she has everything to lose. If Starmer has a big poll lead going into the campaign, why would he allow for debate(s)- essentially being a hostage to fortune? Stay well clear.

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@Septimus01 @mikegalsworthy @YouGov @euromove @Femi_Sorry @PeterStefanovi2 @campbellclaret @IanDunt @mrjamesob @DavidGauke @Peston @euromovescot @SadiqKhan I doubt it. They will follow where their demographics suggest they should go, leaving the graduate cohort [pro-EU] to the Left.

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@robfordmancs So for all Starmer's reforming of Labour, he musters just 0.5% more than Corbyn managed in 2017? If there is such a result, not sure how FPTP sustains if a party that gets 12% obtains 64 seats, but one that gets 10% secures zero seats.

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@AndyRevell @RupertLowe10 @reformparty_uk A 'couple'? They would be heading for more than 60 at present!

[DSJ_71 @DSJ_71]

@Luis_MR18 1-Labour wins landslide.
2-Khan beats Hall in London
3-Lib Dems beat Reform in share of popular vote, no Reform MPs.
4-Lab gains Brighton Pavilion (no Green MP)
5-Question of who gets back. Braverman elected leader if she holds F & W, otherwise Badenoch.
