None of them actually care in the slightest about nukes or nuclear policy. Its much more base and emotional - is simply a case of being STRONG and posturing appropriately to show that you are STRONG, and that your designated enemy of the day is WEAK!

The whole nuclear issue is just a convenient stick that they can use to beat people with and call them weak. If it wasn't nukes it would be something else, like bombing Syria, or conscription, etc

The stupidity of some people really is astounding. Just saw a comment (60 odd year old woman) "why should the rich suffer? They've worked all their lives and never even claimed benefits, you cant go after their hard earned money". Just...incredible.

The rich are truly the most discriminated against. The other day, I saw a cartoon saying that sometimes the rich "cheat on their taxes". Surely, that is their prerogative, and if they can afford to cheat on their taxes, then they should do so, like Boris Johnson once said. Taxes after all never go on anything that benefits rich people so why should they pay?

This has been a party political broadcast by the loving Tory Party.

To be fair, there are very few actual Tory/Lib marginals in the country. If you're just in a godforsaken Tory hellhole, then you should vote Labour to shore up their popular vote and give some ammunition for the inevitable leadership challenge from the centrists.

Based on 2015 sure. We are hoping for 2010 (Oxford West and Abingdon represent)

Good to hear UKMT supports Prime Minister Theresa May's plan to require the wealthy elderly to bear some of the costs of their long-term care, a truly progressive policy.

I wonder how much influence that evil little "shoot to kill" lie will have had since Saturday? I've had people who are otherwise fairly well-informed gravely intoning how Corbyn wouldn't have let the old bill shoot those guys at Borough Market, and I'm certain it will have flipped more than a few of them.
