Rodo you were protesting strongly against local hospital closures I seem to remember. Good luck on that score when the tories get free rein over privatisation.

I'm sick of hearing people say that they don't like Corbyn. Well without him we will have a privatised NHS, further cuts to education and services.

Certainly she will hope to be returned with a far bigger majority, as she is in it to win it just like the leaders of the other parties. She has had a mandate from the country to leave the EU yet she is being undermined by those with genuine concerns and those who want only to make mischief, even from within her own party, so working with such a small majority will definitely weaken her hand in getting the best deal for the UK.. Does she rise above the taunts from Nicola Sturgeon that she has never had a mandate from the public to lead the Conservative Party, or does she see re-election with a large majority as a means of putting these sniping remarks to rest. She has asked for a mandate from the electorate as a means of strengthening her hand, and being a Brexiteer I am happy to give her my vote. She said when she was elected leader of the Conservative Party that she would be looking after every one of us. not just the privileged few, and I hope she keeps that promise. She made a good start by getting rid of George Osborne to the back benches.
Mr Corbyn's personal ratings have been consistently appalling since he took Labour's top job two years ago.
The scale of the problem was underlined in a poll today that found Theresa May is more trusted to protect the NHS - an issue on which Labour usually has a big advantage.
Mrs May was backed by 42.1 per cent in the Survation research for ITV's Good Morning Britain, while 39 per cent plumped for Mr Corbyn.
