Around in the 70's with any knowledge of politics/ economy?
 
I've just received an email from the Conservative Party Finance Team asking me to donate, even if just £10, to help them match the Labour funding. Their reasoning is that Jeremy Corbyn and Labour have a "£2.6 million union-funded war chest" which they received during the third quarter of this year.

I haven't checked the figures they quote on the Labour donations so can't confirm them to be accurate, however there is one simple reason that I won't be donating to the Conservative Party to "help them match" Labour. And that reason is the £5.7 million that the Tories received in donations during the first week of the election campaign alone. So instead what I've done is sent them an email reply saying that I will be more than happy to help them match Labour's funding and if they would be so kind as to send me a cheque for £3.1 million then that will resolve the matter. (y)

Funding raised during first week of campaign.........https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50508009

Speaking this morning with my son over what he's going vote - he'll be voting Labour in his north Sheffield constituency - Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough.

His understanding from talking with and listening to many locals (as comes with his job and his girlfriend is from there) is that many will be voting Conservative or The Brexit Party on the basis of Leaving the EU - and what he hears is that the local Leave vote was solely based upon immigration - they will vote in the GE on that basis without much consideration - if any - of other social or economic matters.

Great...what have we done...:(

There is far more tha Brexit about the election. If i were the biggest supporting remainer ever i would not vote Labour in a million in a million years as the country will bbankrupt within one parliamentary term if these loonatics ever get the keys to number 10. All this talk of hard right torries being hard right is utter rubbish - they are pretty central - it is labbour that have moved the spectrum so far to the left that some of Corbyn's favourite left dictators in Latam will be looking over the atlantic with envy!!!

no time Chris although some of the drivel posted on here could make me wish for a bit more spare time - but i am deeply worried what will happen if these ant-semite, marxist, economic idiots ever get in - the biggest threat i have seen to the country in my lifetime - hopefully the rejuvinated left will be sent packing at this election and diaappear for another generation or more (or hopefully forever) and we can have a sensible left of centre party to offer a genuine choice - bring back David Miliband or someone similar!!!

Lots more money for the NHS, Police, infrastructure and many other departments. A decade on from 10% budget defecits caused by the largesse of the last labour government at exactly the wrong time in the economic cycle is now largely behind us - so an investment led policy agenda is on the cards - doesn't sound very right-wing to me!
