It's more a violent shade of Orange.

incidentally, many years ago I used to often deal with Terry Yorath at work. He's the most gammon looking motherfucker i've ever met, and a deeply unpleasant arrogant twat to boot.

Also there aren't enough Remoaners flocking to Lib Dems that would hand lots of seats to the Lib Dems.
There might be in some middle class Remainiac areas and, anyway, it could still depress the Labour vote.

Like I said I am sure there are a few Lab/Lib Dem marginals but from what I am picking up there are higher numbers of Tory/Lib Dem marginals.
No doubt there will be a depression of the vote but I think Remoaners that I am talking about will go to the Greens - which to me is one more reason why that Labour candidate won't be voted off.

"we are unable to provide a breakdown of the £196bn figure as our members do not feel comfortable doing this..."
We are, however, more than comfortable for any lazy hacks to use this figure, go Boris.

that cbi thing is mostly about cost of re-nationalising the trains.
how is the stopping of the current rail franchise model, mentioned in the recent queen's speech, not the same thing?

fwiw I was responding to the suggestion that the Lib Dem vote would suffer more than the Labour vote if Boris managed to cobble together a deal - I totally disagree with that, I reckon the Lib Dems would benefit from both the Tories and Labour.

“I do want to do Strictly,” she added. “I’m not going to make any bones about that. I wouldn’t ever do it while I’m still a politician though."I would rather be the Prime Minister then go on Strictly, but I don’t see why I can’t be the first ex-Prime Minister to do it. I think there is an opening. Not in a Theresa May way - I can actually dance."

publically crowing about planning to fill downing street with mass-produced stuff from a multibillion-dollar foreign company rather than eg sustainably-produced furniture handmade in the uk seems pretty revealing about her priorities
