Lib Dem marginal which the Tories need to win back
With the Brexit Party vote collapsing, they're on track to do so unless everyone else votes tactically
Another LAB/CON marginal where every vote for the LDEMs or GREENs makes it more likely to let in the Tories - with their fanatic ideas about WTO farming
LAB majority over CON: 2,322
LDEM votes last time: 2,669
HYPER MARGINAL
TORIES only need 30 more votes to win
Last time, the LDEMs polled 1,624 votes
And the GREENs polled 1,246 #TacticalVoting is the way forward
This is the kind of seat that LABOUR can't afford to lose
With the TORIES pressing hard, it's vital that LDEM supporters lend LABOUR a #TacticalVoting hand
Those 7,699 LDEM votes could be vital in keeping out Johnson's TORY VANDALS
Between them, the LDEMs and the GREENs could easily pick up 1,000 votes
If they do, it could be bad news for LABOUR - this is another KEY TORY TARGET and if the TORIES win here, they've got FIVE MORE YEARS of power in the bag
Nigel Farage says a huge reason for Brexit is to take back control of our own laws. He says the EU wants to "take control of every single aspect of our lives."
It's a seductive claim
Who wouldn't want control of our own laws?
But as this A-Z tweet proves, we ALREADY do!
1./
British values shape British laws made by British lawmakers in British Parliaments elected by British voters
Just think about ABORTION: illegal in Northern Ireland and legal in the rest of the UK. If the EU controlled every aspect of our lives, how could that be?
2./
The same applies to the age of concept which is 16 in the UK and from 14 to 18 in other EU countries
Then think about our laws on adoptions, allotments and ASBOs. They reflect British values and a British consensus (yes, there really is a UK Allotment Act)
1. Received one of these Brexit Party pamphlets through the post?
Wanna know how they got your personal details & what they're going to do with them?
Well, it's easy to find out. You just need to write them a letter and pop it in the post.
Here's a template to cut and paste...

The Leave camps said “75% of our laws are made in Brussels” and asked “who really runs this country?”
That 75% figure was a lie and (for better or worse) the UK's Parliaments decide our key laws
From tax and sex to pensions and bombs, here's the proof WE RUN our country
1/.
All the big TAXES we pay are decided by the UK government
Income Tax: levels, bands & personal allowances
National Insurance
Council Tax
Taxes on Cars, Petrol, Diesel, Alcohol, Tobacco, Sugar
Capital Gains Tax
Tax relief on charity donations
Business Rates
Corporation Tax
2/.
All big laws on SEX are set by the UK
Age of consent, definition of sexual offences such as rape within marriage, sexual harm, indecent exposure, voyeurism
Regulation of sex shops and pornography, laws on soliciting, prostitution, closure of premises, revenge porn…
1.Pretending that the wild promises of the Leave campaigns were achievable
In trying to deliver the impossible and contradictory claims of Johnson and Farage, she was doomed to failure from the start.
2. Interpreting the EU referendum (and its 17.4m Leave voters) as if all they cared about was reducing immigration.
There is strong evidence that people care more about enabling free trade than hammering immigration, but it backed up her long-standing prejudices.
3. Rounding up 51.9% to 100%
And claiming that she could interpret the ‘will of the people’ and that they had spoken as one – this classic ruse of dictatorial regimes was bound to backfire sooner or later.
Fact Check on Theresa May's claims about her deal:
A: Does her deal give us control of our money?
Q: Brexit will make us poorer as a nation, as families and as individuals.
YOU CAN'T CONTROL MONEY YOU DON'T HAVE!
1/.
Q: Do we send 'vast sums' to the EU that we can spend elsewhere once we leave?
A: NO - the average taxpayer spends 11.8p a week on EU membership, which is a tiny slither of total government spending.
2/.
Q: Are we getting back control of our money?
A: NO - we'll lose much more more than we save. You can't control money you don't have! PLUS we haven't even begun to negotiate future trading arrangements so we don't know how much the EU will charge for single market access.
