PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

also theresa may wearing a sash

if Blair says something is good, it's bad

probably only at it to get a rise out of former Brown acolyte Watson

The despair of having to live in the same country planet as Priti Patel is getting to me.

lmao jo swinson targeting a "majority LD government"... that's the LDs that currently sitting on 18 seats...

going to be a bit of a bind for the LDs if BJ manages to pass a deal before the next election

I keep pretending that none of those Britannia Unchained lads are nowhere near the corridors of power and just harmless right wing cranks and nothing to worry to about.

fantasy unity government xi's fantasy majority governments to make brexit disappear - these fucking melts have been bang at the mcat for a long time.

jo swinson... is not a good performer

EU meantime doing their best to convince ppl that lexiters are correct by introducing a commissioner for protecting the european way of life, responsibilities to include immigration lol

'Let's pull the rug from under the fascists' feet by "pretending" to become fascists ourselves. What could go wrong?'

Yes, even Andrew Marr has her floundering over the accusation that they're nothing but Soft Tories.

yikes... philip lee's values are LD values

is she going to stand down in bearsden

LOL like anyone believes anything any LD leader says after Clegg.

painful interview

those halcyon days of a 200 ton paedophile and then a murderer leading the LibDems seem so far away now

apologies ..just misquoting alexi sayle

would probably take attempted murder over sharing responsibility for austerity tbh

oh definitely. they aren't even soft tories this lot, just remain tories.

Before the Coalition years I worked with Lynne Featherstone (batshit insane but nice) and Jo Swinson (lifetime Dorothy Perkins shopper) on a body image in fashion project, and I wouldn’t have reckoned on JS being given responsibility for anything much bigger than that.

I think a coalition with Labour won’t be up to her in the end, because she will lose her seat to the SNP, and I will bathe myself in sweet, sweet schadenfreude.

Swinson in danger of losing to the SNP, Boris looking over his shoulder in Uxbridge and now Corbyn facing the challenge of Alaric Bamping, it's all change in British politics.

I wonder whether Bamping knows that his namesake Alaric I, the Visigoth king who sacked Rome, was born in modern-day Romania.

cold bampin’ with labour

the wee bamper

one thing i find increasingly hilarious is the footage of swinson the lib dems are putting out *on purpose* that supposedly shows her communicating a message effectively or something. like if this is the best u got

for the official party of people who work in PR they are very bad at it

There are going to be some very disgruntled and vocal activists who have put the legwork in only to get bumped from winnable seats to make way for these cocks.

Can see them pissing away a few seats.

cold bampin’ with labour

:D

watching swinson on marr this morning it is v strange that this person is being taken at all seriously

All centrist MPs in this country need to do to get favourable coverage is punch left. Doesn’t matter who they are. Policies and history don’t matter. You accepted an MP who wanted gay asylum seekers with HIV blocked while meanwhile the Labour frontbench was agitating for gay rights for decades? Lol who cares, all that matters is the narrative and who cares is splitting the vote in some Con/Lab marginals hands the Tories a majority?

Proudly parading ex-Tories around is just going to remind wavering Labour voters why they didn't vote for them last time but it might help peel off more wavering Tory voters. Labour may yet benefit for this.

As for the LibDems themselves, either they're a completely incoherent party whose members are just pretending they stand for the same economic and social goals or... they aren't.

TL:DR - so they win a majority and stop Brexit. Then what?

Probably going to play out like that bit in TTOI where they promise a big grant for a business bank while they’ve got a homeless nurse committing suicide outside a government building.

with lots of different types of ISAs

Also, inviting Guy Verhoefstadt to conference was a stupid and probably damaging idea

looking forward to post-brexit hulk britain breaking free of our chains then going on a massively destructive, infrastructure-shattering rampage before shrinking back into a weeping remorseful weakling

Yes, but experimental gamma bomb = EU.

How does this keep happening:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/sep/14/tories-extend-poll-lead-to-12-despite-week-of-political-chaos

Tiny samples and push-poll style questions?

I think you have to take polling with pinch of salt.

This poll is done by Opinium. The same company had the Tories with a 19 point lead in late April 2017, roughly 6 weeks out from election date. They did gradually downgrade that, but still gave the Tories a 7 point lead on election day.

Maybe they've improved their methodology since then. I'm not saying they're wrong, but I wouldn't have any confidence in them being right either

It's almost as if polls are propaganda weapons

the pollsters that got it bang on last election: Survation have the tories on a 5 pt lead and i wouldn't be surprised if their own private internal polling data is telling them much different. And I can live with that because they are on course to lose if true.

The polls aren't there just to bolster the Tories but they get it wrong because things are so febrile and polarised and they say nothing about the geographical picture. There's no reason to get either excited or worried by them right now.

boris spending half his life in northern marginals these days says that he is worried, and if they don't make gains there and lose to the libdems in some of their own turf, and theyve already lost scotland: bring on the fucking coalition of chaos.

but I'm not getting carried away, but see some glimmers of hope and reckon they will be making Cummings lose sleep as well.
