...talk with young people looking with trepidation to the future given how things are today; talk with those in no, or low paid, jobs and who are really struggling under the yolk of the last 9 years of Tory government - and ask them how quickly they need help and support back onto their feet.

Then tell them how long they have to wait for the brave new world that is the UK out of the EU, and that their further short term, few more years, pain might be worth it in the long run. And tell them that the funding for the sorts of things they need will have to wait until the country can afford it - and tell them that we have to wait for the economy to deliver as the money can't be raised through increased taxes on those in work and the wealthier.

Can't win with you. You harp on about there being no jobs for young people but are in favour of a third of a million mainly young people comming into the country each year seeking employment, why not put up signs at Dover saying 'No work available due to Tory cuts'

The way out of hard times is through education and hard work, anyone would think it was different once, I've been around a long time now and I can't remember it being any different, in fact it's a darn site better these days, one of the big differences now is that many feel entitled to a nice comfortable life without the hard work and risk needed to obtain it. I guess that's what the likes of Corbyn and Co put into people's heads to win votes.

Then don’t vote or spoil it. Either believe each parties mythical unicorn dust coated fishing hooks or vote for which party is doing its best on your view on brexit. After all it is a brexit vote dressed up.
 
Balls and Osborne on ITV news calling either a Tory majority or hung parliament and coalition government. God help us if it's the latter.

Ideally, I would love to have a sustainable independent Scotland and free of the EU and West Minster rules, but the SNP want to stay in the EU ignoring the Brexit majority. They also can't prove to me that Scottish independence could actually work.

I always voted labour until they stood alongside the Tories and Lib Dems trying to stop independence.
Independence didn't mean that the SNP would actually govern Scotland, it could've been Labour. Now Labour also want to ignore the Brexit referendum result and have a fekin other one ? then what, another one if they don't like it FFS.
The Torries no chance of my vote, especially with BJ in charge, can't believe a thing he says, Boris Karloff has a better chance if he was still standing :D.

So if it's dry and I can be arsed then perhaps I'll vote SNP, but really won't make any difference in my area. I think the SNP will win Scotland comfortably
The Tories will probably win overall , fingers crossed it's only a small majority :cry:

This is a bit of a “timeline” of the picture of the boy on the floor - very poor

Strap yourselves in folks, one of the political stories of the century is brewing...

1. A concerned mother shares a photo of her 4-year-old boy who was forced to wait hours on a hospital floor with suspected pneumonia.

2. The photo circulates online so a journalist challenges Boris Johnson about it during an interview by showing him the picture of the boy on his phone.

3. Johnson repeatedly refuses to even look at the boy, let alone acknowledge responsibility for the situation, and eventually steals the journalists phone and puts it in his pocket.

4. There is uproar about Johnson's lack of compassion so Health Minister, Matt Hancock, is dispatched to the hospital to deal with the situation.

5. Matt Hancock briefs journalists that, while at the hospital, one of his advisors was "punched" by a Labour activist.

6. Much of the media unquestioningly report the "punch" by the "Labour activist" as fact without checking the validity of the allegation. Widespread rage about "violent Labour activists" spreads like wildfire online.

7. Video footage then emerges online showing that the story had been entirely fabricated and was 100% false.

8. The media sheepishly backtrack on what they have posted out to the world.

9. A Facebook post then appears claiming to be from a "good friend" of a nurse working in Leeds hospital. The post says that the photograph of the 4-year-old was faked by a "Labour activist". The post is shared more than 30,000 times.

10. The claim is unquestioning reported as fact by much of the media without checking its validity.

11. Suspicions of the validity of the claim are then raised as it is discovered there are literally thousands and thousands of Facebook and Twitter accounts posting exactly the same claim, word for word.

12. It becomes clear that bots are being used to spread disinformation. The hospital also confirms the accuracy of the photo and that it had already apologised to the mother.

13. The media sheepishly backtrack on what they have posted out to the world.

14. The account where the post originated then comes into question. It belongs to a (real) woman named Sheree Jenner-Hepburn who claims her account has "hacked".

15. Further investigation shows that Sheree Jenner-Hepburn was not the innocent victim of a hack, but that the post was made from her account intentionally, as she responded to her friend's comments on the post.

16. It's then discovered that Sheree Jenner-Hepburn's son has a Facebook friend with a very prominent role within this story which may cast light on the motives behind the fake post.

17. It's… Matt Hancock's account!!!

In summary: it appears that the actual Health Minister of the British Government has not only fabricated a "punch" to deflect the heat from his boss, but, after being found out the first time, he *may* have used his friend's Facebook account to circulate another entirely fabricated story to try and smear his political opponents.

Even the writers of The Thick Of It would find this story too incredible to script!

UPDATE: Matt Hancock's personal link to the source of the fake news post is now being covered more widely in the media - and was even featured on Newsnight last night! This post has now been shared more than 25,000 times (it’s also on my cousin’s account) Thank you all for helping to get the truth out there. Keep sharing! Matt Hancock has serious questions to answer today about his role in a fake news scandal. If you're on Twitter - let's get #MattHancockedUp trending
 
So the final opinion polls before tomorrow all have the Tories in the lead and comfortably in the 40's. Depending on which poll you look at Labour are anywhere from 31 to 36. In the 42 to 36 poll, you are very close to if not already in hung parliament territory especially when including margin for error, where as the 45 to 31 poll is a landslide for the Tories.

So barring the polls being miles off, it could be close run thing with the most likely outcome being a small but working majority for the Tories of around 25-40 seats. With margin for error and the in-built inaccuracies of polls, it could still be anywhere from a landslide to a hung parliament.

Going to be an exciting night tomorrow night waiting for the results to come in, well it will be for a saddo for me who stays up thru the night for every election. At least all the campaign rubbish is over, time to vote and see what result we get.

I assume Uddingston isn't a marginal Tory/SNP seat but you have to get out and vote no matter what it is, well except if it's tory of course.
