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

I wouldn’t bet against her tbh.

that would take a huge swing

xxxp Jewish chronicle says the latter

presumably take 6k off each CONS and LAB which would put it solidly in three-way horse territory - could also bring out some personal vote due to her treatment (ie bullying) in recent times. might be right - def must be in play else she wouldn’t be parachuting in

She could get the swing, imo.

A lot of the Tory voters are fairly well-to-do Asians who are likely to be suspicious of Johnson but not likely to flip to Labour. There's a large (20%+) Jewish community that may be receptive to a young Jewish 'campaigner against anti-semitism'. There's also an increasing gentrification which probably serves the LDs well.

The responses to this story are from angry voters worried she’ll take votes away from the Tories and let Labour in. Idt it’s fair to say she’s “parachuted” in when she’s got a home in the area and was raised in London, not to put scare quotes around “campaigner against antisemitism”.

fair

She’s from Wembley. I think she’ll take Jewish Tory votes for sure, because they are not Brexity.

not in my wembley-adjacent jewish family, unfortunately

She's also now fairly recognisable and popular among the electorate, certainly by CUK standards. Depends on who the other parties put up against her but I wouldn't bet against her getting that swing.

Good lord they’re clearly mining ILX for memes.

Normal country

This is truly disturbing.

These ads promoting Brexit & Boris Johnson were beamed onto the digital noticeboards of primary schools across the country today, apparently by a private contractor.

Who made/paid for them?

How is this remotely acceptable?https://t.co/0jSp20d8CT pic.twitter.com/OaKzELuPDf

Baggymp is now listening

Have we discussed his shoutbox? Cos it’s amazing

The adverts are completely nuts but it’s also fairly alarming there are digital notice boards run by private advertising contractors in primary schools in the first place.

xp he makes me want to stop liking music that i do like :(

fucking hell, bring back the old duster and chalkboards ffs!

don’t want to think about baggymp’s shoutbox

extremely otm on both counts, this is seriously dystopian shit

Children of Klan

Truly appalling stuff last night. Just catching up before I'm off to the dentist but the extraction of a molar is a doozy compared to BJ's new lows.

Been happening in the States for years hasn't it? xps

Didn't have a chance to listen to this yet, but I am not a single bit surprised.

We know the fight for our policies to be interpreted correctly, and then implemented, goes on.

The grassroots enthusiasm for this at conf was incredible. We can do it if we push forward together. https://t.co/6QdiWFgUkD

back here posting as i normally do

why does Boris, a repulsive man, fuck so much

— sirhan bee movie sirhan (@AliceAvizandum) September 25, 2019

a discussion worth a thread, a board even, of its own

(not restricted to Boris, obv)

In 1922 meeting there was a sombre moment when @PennyMordaunt told MPs she was with @BorisJohnson in 2016 when news came through that Jo Cox had died. She said 'Boris's reaction was so human'.
"It was a moving moment in there," one Tory MP says.

*vomit*

(he farted)

Sadness in his farts

Ed Miliband, the former Labour leader, tells the Commons that he never saw David Cameron use the sort of language Boris Johnson did yesterday.

He says talking about “surrender” implies we are at war with Europe. But we are not at war with Europe and we are not at war with each other, he says. He says this language is intended to cause division.

Some people say this strategy will work. I say this strategy will not work because the British people are better than this.

i wish i had ed's faith in the british people tbh

In the sense that most of their murderousness falls short of action Ed sort of otm

lmao at the guy in the latest john harris poverty safari vid - “do I have to pretend to be racist to get in your video john ?”

DA today interview was not good on immigration. funny because (usually well-sourced) s bush was saying he expected the leadership to adopt the policy in its entirety

It's aggravating, I guess the best hope is that they're prevaricating until the official line is nailed down

DA?

Diane Abbott

All the blue Labour types were angry about it yesterday & there’s not an insignificant amount of union leadership that won’t support it either.

Sabrina's response was the best to all this. It's long-term work.

Similarly unions are anxious about the 2030 green target and what that would mean for current jobs that don't comply with that target.

This is how Labour is changing.

Most Labour supporters are not as liberal as conference on this issue, so it's pretty understandable for the leadership to be, er, cautious. 60% of Labour voters supported the "hostile environment" ffs, even when the question called it that!

Polling done it the light of Windrush:
Where the public stands on immigration

I understand the need to sell it, as long a it isn't railroaded

Let’s pause to remember Brendan Cox has a few boundaries issues with women, too. In future we should probably seek comment from Jo’s sister, who stepped up to run the Jo Cox Foundation when he had to stand down.

Cox's sister: A 'turning point'

Kim keeps saying if there were more moderates in politics the world would be a better place, which is complete bollox imo

Just a couple of months before the referendum, Cameron was accusing Sadiq Khan of having shared a platform with an IS supporter so he knows a thing or two about inflammatory rhetoric.

So does Jess Phillips, of course.

Jess Phillips being called out on that remains one of my favourite political interviews of the last couple of years.

let us not forget that jo cox was also a legitimate-concernserist

I never do because where I live there are more quotes from her fucking speech on walls and signposts than there are from Jesus and Mohammed combined!

which interview, Matt?

A lot of pretend-shock about last night, allowing for a lot of scum to take the high ground.

And I really hate people saying and tweeting 'you are better than this' to people who are just utter garbage.

one thing grates with me with all that "more in common" flam is: how do tell some poor kid from Batley Carr who has one pair of shoes, no winter coat and whose mother has to queue at foodbanks that they much in common with the rest of the population. It's like gaslighting them and saying they don't live in abject poverty because everyone is middle class now...STFU!
