That has role so much rolled back, it will not be that high. But i still expect a landslide. About 100 . 80 to 100. I think iain is better as a detailed numbers, but the tories will win this. 50, 75, whatever it is. What is depressing for me is that neither theresa may nor Jeremy Corbyn were particularly strong. They both have big areas of weakness. Stronger than Tim Farron Nick Clegg is worried about his seat tonight, is that right . People said that Sheffield Hallam was going to be lost, but nick won with a substantial majority. Is it conceivable that the lib dems could go backwards this time . At elections, anything is conceivable. People pledged to eat their hats and look like idiots, or run down the street naked of course, anything is plausible. Like my promise in 2010 all that i can do is leave the range of polls, the maximum that theresa may is going to get is ten extra seats, i would have thought.

Now on bbc news talking books. Welcome to hay festival, now celebrating its 30th year. Hay brings together scientists, historians, novelists, musicians, all of them here to discuss their latest ideas and stories. Today im interviewing the multi Award Winning author elizabeth strout. Her six novels, all of them have received critical acclaim, but it was Olive Kitteridge that received the prestigious pulitzer prize. Born and raised in small towns in New Hampshire and maine, her latest book Anything Is Possible explores a cast of extraordinary characters and their own small town lives. Applause i stand to be corrected, but i think it was chekhov who was asked by, i think his brother, it was a hint about writing, and he apparently said, you know, the thing about writing is find the small detail that reveals the big story. I think elizabeth strout, if i may say so, follows in that tradition because what she does is tell the story of small individual lives and yet they seem to reveal a massi
