So much this, was on the phone to my mum who gets the DM every day, supposedly a Corbyn gov will turn the UK in to the worst days of the Soviet Union, completely ignoring the absolute shit show of the Tories brexit. She told me not to vote Labour, I told her I'm voting SNP, she didn't know what to do with that! #tacticalvote. I asked my mum not to vote Tory this year, I don't think I'll ever get her to vote Labour in her constituency which would be the tactical vote but a vote for say the Lib Dems would be one less for the Tories, she currently has Theresa Villiers as MP.

My folks are Telegraph and Express reading tories. During a recent boozy dinner we strayed onto politics briefly. Wasn't good - ABORT ABORT!

Theresa Villiers was utterly useless as Sectretary of State in Northern Ireland.
Didn't engage at all with people or community groups/charities. Not sure that's your mums experience with her, but perhaps it'll convince her to not vote/vote LibDems for once?

I get round discussions with my mum by talking about Kier Starmer (swoons) instead of Corbyn... I think he's singlehandedly made tactical voting for Labour an acceptable discussion point in my place. Not an acceptable thing to do, mind, I doubt we'll ever get there.

Lots of articles about government spending as a percentage of GDP today, Labour is 2% above the Tories, which (IIRC) is 41% of GDP vs 43% of GDP. One of the most common anti-Labour jibes is "love to see how they'll pay for it all!"
