Tory minister left gawping after the Brexit campaign founder says ‘Corbyn will be the next PM’ [VIDEO]
The Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Karen Bradley, was left stunned on 28 September. The founder of Leave.EU said Jeremy Corbyn would without a doubt beat Theresa May in another general election.
On BBC Question Time, Richard Tice expressed a total lack of confidence in May:
I’m afraid to say it but if she does complete the full term, Jeremy Corbyn will be the next Prime Minister
A shocked Bradley responded:
I disagree wholeheartedly…
Corbyn on course for Downing Street
The Conservatives could well replace May before the next general election. But either way, the signs point to victory for the Corbyn movement. Labour has been ahead in 21 out of 28 opinion polls conducted since the general election. The majority of the most recent polls place Labour three or four points ahead. In June, Labour almost won after starting over 20 points behind.

By contrast, May has been left trying to explain away losing her parliamentary majority. The Conservative leader claimed she did so terribly because she had “not been able to prepare” for the snap election. That’s despite these howling facts:
- May called the snap election herself.
- The Prime Minister called the early election after repeatedly assuring parliament and the media she wouldn’t. Yet claims she is the person who wasn’t ready.
- May called the election with over a 20-point lead in the polls.
But it hasn’t stopped there. May rolled out yet another excuse on 28 September. She lamented a lack of people “coming together for debates” during the campaign. But May tried to shut down debate throughout the election. Sky News Political Correspondent Beth Rigby called May’s campaign “the most controlled” she’d “ever seen”. And with good reason:
- At one of May’s campaign events local paper, Cornwall Live, reported: “Media were locked in a room and banned from filming”.
- The Conservative leader repeatedly refused to have a head-to-head debate with Corbyn, sending Home Secretary Amber Rudd instead.
- May often refused to take questions from anyone other than handpicked journalists
One reason May is still Prime Minister
The Conservatives are on the run. The only reason May is still in Downing Street is because her party is terrified of Corbyn winning a resulting general election. That’s why Bradley is forced to defend May on Question Time. But Leave.EU founder Tice had to state the obvious: the Prime Minister is toast.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
