Hey Ed Milliband! Remember him?
Nuneaton and Bedworth possibly as high as 80/20 to Leave apparently. Wasn't Lee saying it was some sort of bellweather?
It's meant to be, but I always knew it would be for Leave. Not 80/20 though. We're going to see 60:40 Leave nationwide here.
Does Ed Milliband really go knocking on doors campaigning? I'd lol myself into a coma if he came over to my gaff.

I'm only reading what we have so far. These margins for Leave are huge. London and Scotland will have to be massive for Remain with very high turnout for there to be any chance of us staying in the EU.

You fucking freak, Eagle. The Labour Party is falling to bits, and you're sat there making trying to make capital out of Conservative divisions.
I sort of called a shitty Glasgow turnout earlier. If there's ever a breakdown by area I'll be surprised if mine is higher than about thirty percent, so some of the more affluent areas must be about eighty even to hit that.

Well if we leave the European Union I think you'll find we will no longer have freedom of movement, amoungst other fucking farces. I can't imagine the remaining EU countries not being cunts about it. By cunts I mean of course France and Germany.
I f you have read the political rhetoric from Junker etc, they are planning on making life as difficult as possible post split.

The thing about being a winner is that you don't ever think about what it's like to be a loser, but if you're a loser, you spend your life thinking about what it would be like to be a winner.

Itv reckon there's a 75% of a leave win.
Wanna take another run at that?

Leave are getting a fair few 58% - 42% wins. The Remains need big big wins in That London.
Wolverhamton 63% leave now too. Midlands seem very leave heavy.
Someone should have just punched Hilary Benn in the head immediately after his opening sentence. "It's not late enough to know, which is another way of saying it's too early to say."
