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

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

Cheers pals on Twitter for pointing out Jo Swinson’s uncanny resemblance to Richard D James - SWINDOWLICKER!

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.

I'm not remotely optimistic, the Tories will win the election, and they'll be relying on the Lib Dems for a majority this time.

I'm taking those last few Scottish polls as a given that they will lose at least 10 of those 13 seats there to the SNP. They've got hell on to make gains in the north and a wouldn't a ConDem alliance be a bit problematic with both of them on different drugs atm?

A Labour government would back a Royal Commission into "all" drugs laws

If experts back decriminalisation or legalisation of cannabis, cocaine or heroine, Corbyn likely to follow

It is a good policy and they should pay it no mind unless it creates electoral advantage

The only positive about Tom's scenario will be the reaction of FBPE Twitter when the LibDems go back into coalition in exchange for a Soft Brexit.

Obviously a Labour government is way more likely to give them what they actually want, ie no Brexit at all, so obviously they're railing against the very idea.

Swindowlicker was not interrogated in the least as to why she finds government as the junior partner to Corbyn-led Labour so objectionable if there’s a chance of no Brexit through winning a ratification referendum. Andrew Marr doing bad journalism part 674664754 obvs

Also, this is LOL:

articulating what she doesn't like about Labour would require her to admit that she loves the austerity and taking money off big fracking etc.

They're not going to get a soft brexit, they'll agree to no deal in exchange for a ban on vaping.

Ban on Easter Eggs if I know Swinson

She is such distilled essence of Liberal Democrat Wasteman it's absurd

I choose not to use the feminine conjugation of wasteman

5p tax on plastic bags in exchange for benefit cuts which hugely increase the number of people who have to count their every last 5p

Say what you want about the carrier bag tax it worked.

Also austerity killed thousands of undesirables but swings and roundabouts.

say what you want about austerity but it worked

It certainly achieved its aims

granted I’m not her target demographic so not particularly predisposed to give her a fair shake... but her delivery here is just... not good. she seems so glib and kinda distracted
