Am I safe to leave the house now, without fear of persecution?

An economist has just sent something through about this... if it is only a couple of dozen then it will be seen as an irrelevance, if it got up to about 80 that would likely prevent a Labour (Corbyn Govt), but saying that you now have a number of Tory seets looking to deselect remainers....Quote:

Let's see how many of these fannies actually turn up first, shall we? They've not been notable for their readiness to put their money where their mouth is so far. It's true that it doesn't take many to split to essentially end any remote chance of Corbyn ever becoming PM, but the full Momentum terror campaign will be unleashed, so we'll see if they're ready to withstand that.Quote:

For Labour, on the other hand, the rise of any centrist party would mean an almost certainly unsurvivable loss of vital votes in marginals.Quote:
