"As for the by-election: what are you implying?"

I think it's pretty simple what I am implying.  That voters don't trust Labour and don't want to vote for them even mid term and with a presiding government in disarray.

But - feel free to continue to trumpet away about your opinion polls.

TORY LIAR....

You will live to regret that LIE....when it is rammed down your throat after the COUNCIL ELECTIONS....

TORIES ON THE RUN

LIBDUMS IN DISARRAY

You do realise that Labour actively court the muslim voting demographic?  And I'd suggest that voters who opted for Galloway were reflecting more the fact that they thought Labour was incompetent and lacked integrity as opposed to them being "evil" and depraved.

You come across as a weirdo if you don't mind me saying.

...so they elect a former Labour MP, who started his own party because he was too far to the left of Labour, who will support Labour in parliament and wants a Labour government. Take that Labour Party!

Galloway isn't all that left wing, he's pro-business and has a number of business interests in the middle east, he's agressively pro-Arab and has a number of wealthy Arab chums.

The extent to which the TORIES ARE TERRIFIED of KEN was proven again at PMQ's when all the Tories seem interested in is "knocking Ken"

IT REALLY IS VERY VERY POOR POLITICS and FRANKLY smells of Tory desperation...

FACT IS THIS....

On the hustings, on the doorsteps.....Ken's tax affairs are of NO CONSEQUENCE ...

What is of consequence is

The Granny Tax

The Pasty Tax

Giving to the rich by screwing the poor

Theresa Mays latest ****-up

The destruction of the NHS

Lack of any credible growth

The perception that the Government is rocking from one crisis to another

The view that Cameron is an out of touch Toff....

KEN WILL WIN....quite easily in the end!

This is perhaps true in the empty void that exists between your ears, but to the general man in the street the "do as I say, not as I do" approach doesn't play too well.

Ken's tax affairs have lost him the election, it is as simple as that.

Its not that they are wrong per se, but as Java says, they fit badly with his high moral talk about other people's tax affairs.

I actually have no particular preference for Boris or Ken, but I am delighted that Ken's writing of a blank cheque for the Olympics bid (with other people's money)hasn't given him the ego trip of a life time as Mayor of London for the Olympics.

Apparently Boris has been warned that any more threats of physical violence and he will be arrested....

Paddick has confirmed there is verbal evidence from the spat in the lift where a very rattled Johnson resorted to violent threats!

Of course the Tory boys are talking b o l l o x...

Boris will be beaten come the election and quite easily as Voters vote anti Cameron and the most inept Government in history!

I expect Ken to win tonight's debate relatively calmly and sensibly while Boris relies on his "personality" and will rant a bit.  It's irrelevant because I can't see Ken saying much that will stop me voting for him.

The big problem for Boris is the Council elections....

EXPECT a huge swing Lib Dems (defending seats at high water marke 4 years ago) to Labour and a BIGGER swing Conservative to Labour.....(classic mid term protest)....

Its a leap of faith for Boris to expect people to vote Labour in Council/LONDON elections BUT then to vote Boris....in Mayoral election....

KEN WILL WIN BY AROUND 5% on second preference...

Irrespective o what the TORY RAG EVENING STANDARD says!
