16 Point lead for PM May - New Poll

Daily Mail: Reports " The May bounce takes Tory lead to SIXTEEN points over Labour - the same level that Margaret Thatcher got in her 1983 landslide and enough for a 100 seat majority "

Lets Get Real:

Thus new PM has had a good start, let us see how it goes, the Conservative right is looking at any foot dragging by the new government when it comes to the EU.   The increase in polls could be down to the voters who have always wanted out of the EU seeing this as their chance, the liberal elite are now calling for a 2nd Referendum, they think they can scare people to support the EU.   The Conservative backbench MPs should keep a close on eye on No 10, let us see if Brexit means Brexit to PM May.

A Profile of Tim Kaine - Clinton's VP pick

BBC News: Reports " Tim Kaine: The Spanish-speaking, anti-abortion Democratic senator "

Lets Get Real:

HRC has gone for the safe choice, the liberal base will not be happy but then they would want a communist on the ticket.   As this blog is supporting HRC it can say on the whole its a good choice, a safe pair hands, not the type to overshadow the nominee, that is the same with the Trump choice.   It will be interesting to see the polls after the Democratic convention is over, the Democrats should get a bounce from their week of attacking Trump, it will be scripted down to the last full stop.

Munich Incident - Terror Attack?

Telegraph: Reports " Shots have been fired at a shopping centre in the Moosach district of Munich Munich, Germany, according to reports, with a major police operation under way..   German media reported multiple deaths at the scene. "

This story is developing, lets see what happens....This blog never comments on criminal events while they are happening, let see after the Police have the case in hand.

Trump vs. Cruz - Election 2016

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 4.03pm post the following, " Donald Trump says Ted Cruz deliberately changed his planned speech in order to make a dig at the nominee, a move he called “dishonorable”...I don’t want his endorsement. If he gives it, I will not accept it,” said Trump. "

Lets Get Real:

IF Cruz was trying to do a Reagan of 1976 when the Gipper challenged President Ford right up to the Convention then he failed.    After Reagan gave his speech the Republican Party realised they had chosen the wrong nominee, there is no way that Cruz will be the nominee in 2020, he has broken the Reagan rule of not being critical of a fellow Republican.   Reagan had class, Cruz would not make it as a Butler never mind a President. 

The Left TAKES on Trump - Election 2016

BBC News:  Reports " Did Donald Trump tell "the truth and nothing else" as he promised in his speech to the US Republican convention, accepting the party's presidential nomination?..Here we hold the candidate to his promise by checking how well he built his case on three top voter issues: crime, terrorism and the economy. "

Lets Get Real:

One would hope the BBC does a similar job on HRC, the truth and the Clintons exist in different Worlds.    The critic of Trump finds him wanting in every section, but then did you really expect a balance report from the BBC, the BBC and Guardian types drink from the same water, liberal, CIty based, narrow liberal minded.     This blog has no time for Trump, that is clear from its posts, but at least it tries to be objective.

The Donald Trump's RNC Speech in full - Trump Era

Donald J Trump: The Trump speech in full - PDF

Lets Get Real:

The Trump speech was not boring, it was hard hitting, it is said you should wait 24 hours before making a comment about such a  speech, the reason to see how much of the speech your recall.   The main theme for this blog was Trump stating he was the law and order candidate, lets see if the rest of the US bought the speech, recall Mr Trump is no fool, he is a billionaire after all, lets see if he can keep to the campaign structure.  One has doubts.

The Labour Civil War - Corbyn Era

Guardian: Reports " Owen Smith 'furious' at Corbyn's performance against Theresa May..Labour leadership challenger says Jeremy Corbyn is ‘not up to the job’ of taking on Tories at dispatch box "

Lets Get Real:

Thus above shows the simmering tensions in the Labour Party, the leader who is not up to the job and his backbench MPs who are very worried that should PM May call a general election they will be wiped out.   As this blog is a Conservative blog it wants Corbyn in power in till the 2020 election, then the Conservative Party will win in a landslide.  The Democrat in this blog thinks there should be an official opposition worthy of the name.   The present Labour Party is a laughing stock, time for Labour voters to grow up and vote for Smith or see the Party split in two, it their choice!
