I see May's having another bad day;

The media clearly have a whiff of blood in their nostrils.

It's about time, isn't it? The patience of journalists with her has been incredible.

Apparently she's sending Justine Greening to go on Woman's Hour too. Not sure why they should accept a substitute but hopefully Greening will have the same kind of relaxing chat that Corbyn had last week.

Oh my god, her face after this question

I do think Labour could make more of the fact that May has been in charge of immigration and anti-terrorism for 6 years, areas where her experience would seem to count against, rather than for, her.

Yeah - definitely about time. Every bland utterance repeated over and over again is boiling my piss. I really hope that it's grating on marginal tory voters as well. She has said less than nothing about anything apart from 'strong and fucking stable' for weeks now and I hope it bites her on the arse.

It's very clear she'd fail the Turing test.

Not before she failed the Voight-Kampff test.

Popbitch election voting analysis

"One week to go until the general election and the polls seem to be all over the place. Can we learn anything more about the state of the campaign from the betting markets? We spoke to @LadPolitics to see what was happening online and in Ladbrokes stores, and they told us something interesting.

Back in the EU referendum, the betting odds favoured Remain because more money had been placed on it, even though a greater number of individual bets were on Leave.

In the US Presidential election, Clinton was favourite because more money was put on her, but many more people were betting on Trump.

In this general election more money has been placed on the Conservatives, but a shitload more bets are on Labour.

It can't happen, can it? Two is a coincidence but three would be a trend, right? "

that aint water.

I'm proper tempted to whack a massive amount on a Tory win.

If they win I win, if they lose we all win so I win anyway.

Hmmm. 1/5.

I don't bet, but I guess that means if I put on £5,000 I win £1,000?

Worth a punt?

If I lost would I miss my £5,000 or would I be so delighted I wouldn't care?

The odds are too rubbish at the moment, wait till it gets a bit closer or pick something like next PM.

How much would reach the nhs via reallocation of tax if you lost?

No tax on gambling wins.

Ah well. At least they're finding time for the funnies in amongst the electoral obscurity...

Good use of the phrase "boiling my piss" seems to sum up politics and the media quite well

Yeah, but my £5k would go to Ladbrookes who would pay various taxes on it as profit, or wages or whatevs.

I have been wondering if the emphasis on May's expressions and twitches which are becoming more extreme lately would have been picked up to the same extent if she was a bloke
