Sky News host Rowan Dean says the potential of a “horror show” may unfold in the upcoming UK general election, with polls predicting a close outcome. Mr Dean said the upcoming UK general election, which will be held on December 12, is really “two elections rolled into one”.
“It would be a very brave person” to call the upcoming election, Mr Dean told Sky News host Peta Credlin. But, “I do think Boris Johnson is going to win it,” he said. Mr Dean described the prospect of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn winning the election as being a “truly, truly terrifying thought”. Image: Getty

UK Labour has 'turned its back on its own working class' | Sky News AustraliaEditor of Spiked Online Brendan O'Neill says “there is very little enthusiasm for the Labour Party” ahead of the UK general election on Thursday and says the party must 'reckon with itself' if it wants a future. \n\n“Corbynistas would argue that is because the media is owned by evil billionaires who want to stop Corbyn from getting into Downing Street, but in fact, it’s because many recognise that the Labour Party is a very problematic party right now,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\n“This is a party that has turned its back on its own working class voters, who it now looks upon with utter contempt and has turned its back on democracy by wanting to overthrow the largest democratic vote in history - Brexit.' \n\nMr O'Neill said the party needed to be “roundly defeated” on Thursday “so that it might have a reckoning with itself and recover from this pretty awful period that it’s going through”. \n\nThe editor of Spiked Online said Brexit was “no longer just about leaving the European Union” it was now “a test of whether democracy in this country works”. \n\n“If Brexit doesn’t happen then it will look like democracy in this country doesn’t work,” he said. \n\nMr O'Neill also took aim at the UK’s response to the November 29 terrorist attack on London Bridge. \n\n“The response to this horrific Islamist attack was completely surreal,” he said. \n\n“Everyone says don’t even mention the I word, don’t even say Islamist because you might cause Islamophobia”. \n\nImage: AP

Australian public 'has no buyer's remorse' according to latest Newspoll results: Murray | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says the final Newspoll results of the year reflect the Labor Party’s poor political strategy focusing around ‘chasing Twitter’ to garnish support. \n\nThe latest opinion poll, reported by The Australian, has shown the Coalition’s support has risen by a per cent leading into the Christmas period. \n\nThe two-party-preferred standing has the Coalition now sitting at 52 per cent compared to Labor’s 48 per cent. \n\nMr Murray said the Labor Party “did exactly what [Bill] Shorten did,” by focusing their political attention on chasing “fake” leads instead of talking about the important contemporary political issues facing the nation. \n\n“Scott Morrison got better in the past couple of weeks, Albo got worse,' he said. \n\nMr Murray said the polls indicate there is “no buyer’s remorse” among the Australian public over the shock election of the Coalition at the last federal election. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia
