If 61.5% of the 2017 Burnley Labour vote voted remain (I appreciate you haven't strictly said this), that accounts for 11,582 remain votes straight away. But there were only 14,432 remain votes in Burnley in the referendum in the first place - on a bigger turnout. My own calculation suggests that i...

I'm saying you wont be going in a voting booth in Burnley. You're a metropolitan bubble dweller. You have no dog in this fight.

A labour deal would be worse than remaining. You're weird. Farage says that the deals proposed already are worse than remaining. And you love Farage so much that you're going to be canvassing for his party. And yet, you've accuse anyone who has voted against those deals of voting against Brexit. No...

As always seems the case, there's an election so the Tories start adopting Labour policies.

Just wanna get this posted before it happens. Boris, in his infinite wisdom, has agreed to a one-on-one debate with Corbyn on the 19th November. This is a really bad idea for Boris, i believe. So what date do you guys think Boris will pull out of the debate? Winner(s) gets a thread named after them....

Ewer (sic) extrapolation of the Labour vote is so innumerate it's actually funny. That's before we even get to why reliance on the figures you've taken is misplaced. As always, you're a laugh.

Labour and Liberal combined had 26,658 votes in the 2015 general election. Remain had 14,462 votes in the referendum. So if you contend every single one of the 5,374 Tories, the 6,864 UKIPpers, the 850 Greens, and the 3,571 new voters all went for Leave, you still have a combined 46% Labour/Liberal...

Your in for a shock!!! No, you're. Look. Here are some facts for you. The Tories, based on latest polling, are holding onto 73% of those who voted for them in 2017.

He was the one quoted 2015. Seriously I don't know what you're trying to say but Burnley isn't one of Labours top 50 most marginal seats, which are the seats Custice was talking about that BXP have a chance in.

If the Brexit party win the Burnley seat it would be singly, the worst thing ever to happen to the town. Investment would halt and almost certainly some of the major employers would pull out.

I'm not a Lib Dem supporter but Birtwistle he did a much better job than Cooper.
