as has been proved recently in two elections, the european elections under the peterborough by—electionservative party goes into an election with the brexit issue unresolved, the vote on the right will split and what happens is, the conservative share of the vote falls to about 10% and almost certainly you will get a left—leaning, probably coalition government coming in. so in the mind of conservative party members, what is the most important issue? is it winning a general election, or is it a successful exit from the european union? because many would argue, actually, when you are looking at who you are going to vote for, is it about the communication skills, is it about the leader who can somehow fight off nigel farage? and the brexit party? and at the same time, tackle jeremy corbyn, brexit party? and at the same time, tacklejeremy corbyn, the leader of the labor party. those two issues are conflated. the two camps exceed brexit as a way of either delivering 01’ brexit as a way of either delivering or destroying the second objective. —— see brexit. so the split is a very, very distin

interesting piece in the telegraph about the peterborough by—election.ithin the labour leadership. papers are fantastic today, so much politics. you say fantastic, some people would say that there is their absolute nightmare. it is's dream today. it could it be a better time for the brexit party. peterborough is a town when the beck's party did very well last week, they found themselves a very popular local candidate who seems to be popular even amongst the other parties. —— the brexit party. it whatever you think about nigel farage, having a party that is about three months old and winning a seat in parliament would be no mean feat. we have seen the erosion of tribal loyalties to the big parties. what we do not know, there was an interesting poll last week that put the lib dems ahead of everyone with the lib dems ahead of everyone with the brexit party second, what we do not know is whether that will last. there's also depp in support for the big parties at the european elections because the electric smart, they know it is a definite election, a differe
