Labour support cannot go any lower than it is at the moment, they have a core vote. The PM must have realised that she can be held to ransom by a small group of her own MPs over her Brexit platform, this is what she means by the other parties "playing politics". The dividing lines between Tory MPs and Labour MPs can be quite fluid, some of them are even married to one another.

Of course the dividing lines are fluid. That is the single thing that should be evident from Mr Trump's election: There is "Establishment" and there is not.
Trump has taken on the Establishment and hence gets the full onslaught of the Dems, Media (of which I would contend the Democrat party is a branch, rather than the other way around), and, most tellingly, the Establishment Republicans, of which there are a lot more than you might think. He only has his voters.
In the UK, the Establishment may actually not include Corbyn as he is a whack job a la Bernie Sanders in the US. That is a topic in itself.
In the instant case regarding Ms May (totally milquetoast Establishment of course as are the entire Conservative party), however, it's fairly simple--put yourself back in for 5 years when the tide is high. I seem to recall Blair did the same thing. In the US it's harder perhaps to see who is Establishment and who is not. Really only in the House (of Representatives) are there any NON Establishment Republicans. In the UK, you at least have more parties so it is a little more obvious: UKIP is clearly not Establishment and the Conservatives are.

"Whack job"??? surely you are referring to warmonger Trump and his side kick May-hem.

Ten pounds a seat? Can I sell that to you? I'm presuming I can buy for under £1000 when the results are in.
On a side note, can people refrain from this kind of pithy, adds nothing shit unless they're prepared to put some money on the table to make it of interest?

Hoping that all the General Election discussion/froth/wibble stays on this one thread rather than permeating the whole of HoL.

I hear they are planning to offer artisanal crushed-iced wibble (with froth on top) at the new Lemongrass Dry Oasis café which appears in the artist's impression drawings of the new Wood Green.
Or Emerald City, as the Munchkins call it.

It's really sad, to watch from the outside, the country where I was born turn into a Banana Republic type society, more divided, nastier, poorer, more bananas than I've ever known it.
It's the duty of all other parties (as well as the decent MPs still remaining in the tory party) to work together to stop this smash and grab raid at power and society by a snide maudering bunch of dimwits (the Foreign Secretary, Minister for Brexit and Liam Fox, the dimwit in chief), who peddle pride and nationalism to an extreme that is severely distasteful.
Small town politicians like the ex-councillor from Tottenham Hale, should put away their wibbly toys and concentrate on the real battle for the future of the country and it's children.
It's now obvious that #Brexit isn't going to go as promised (well, it all was a lie and a delusion) and the tories need a majority to secure themselves from the coming rage.
Pride always comes before a fall.
