My only concern is that could you have the same momentum/communication if it became clear that reform were winning in 300 seats as you have had in Caerphilly?

Getting the tactical vote out would be a lot harder across that many seats, and you'd need a viable alternative as well

Again, not having a go Denise

Each generation has its struggles

I focus more on the young because my kids are that age and when we vote, we vote in their interests

I get that its not the same for everyone mind!

Sorry mate, but I have absolutely no idea what you are on about

My dad is 82 and was born in 1942 - if someone who was born in 1943 says Labour has done nothing for them then they are forgetting that when they were born there wasn't an NHS

Need I say more?

Marcus Rashford, living rent free on twitter in their heads for all time

Do they ever stop to think that constantly attacking a bloke who set up clubs to feed kids maybe isn't the best look?

Yeah, the generations divide is toxic enough already

I'm part of the lucky generation and I've also been lucky with house buying/selling at the right time

Acknowledging that a lot is down to luck (ie when you were born) helps massively, as does voting for policies that are designed to help ALL

Football clubs are a key part of our culture, our cities and towns

We need to stop messing around and pretending that all owners have the best interests of them at heart and do more to protect them

I'm as bitter as f**k at 52, but I'm bitter at the people older than me continuing messing it up for my kids and those younger than me

Sheffield Wednesday’s perilous financial plight has worsened after being placed in administration by owner Dejphon Chansiri this morning.

Staff at the Championship club have been informed of the situation.

Yeah, but I'm a Lib Dem anyway who has tactically voted Lab since 2015

Lib Dems might have a chance but the main population places are nailed on reform so it would be very tough

Are we at the "I think he needs new advisors" stage Robert or have we barrelled past that at rate of knots?

And I'd love to be on a reform voters meeting where they think Farage and his magic deportation stick will sort both out

I think we are all waiting for some, er, "clarification"

I know the Tories are bad but not realising what their manifesto says would be a new low even for them

And if it is what they mean then they should be wiped out at the next election and I'd expect the majority of their MPs to leave asap

Hell John, I'm not sure that is right

Lab are in real trouble if they keep aping Reform

It might work in places like Burnley and Barnsley but everywhere else?

Farage’s big weakness, as I’ve often written, is that 60%+ of voters don’t want him to become Prime Minister.

For a populist he’s not that popular. www.newstatesman.com/politics/mor...

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The BΓΆcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

Us accountants love people like that

You'll be amazed at how many people think they can leave everything to the last minute and we can magically help them

Do your taxes on time people!

I'm a hoodie and jeans bloke so I can't talk I'm afraid

I sort of drift through the styles as I've worn the same stuff for about thirty years

I mean, I see someone dressed like that and my only thought is "twat"

I just do not, never have, and never will see the appeal

And I'm 52 - I should be peak Farage!

Well, I'd like to see them be on the front foot over reform like Zack but I'm not sure that pure populism from the left is much better than pure populism from the right

I'd vote for it before the right though every single time but its again not telling the truth to voters sadly

Yeah, I'm not sure where my Mum is but she was Tory (and everyone else in the family isn't) and for understandable reasons I don't ask her!
