observations on a fake rugby fan and his scared, uncomfortable looking dog.

I was convinced to take part in the World Cup sweepstakes at work and drew South Africa so I actually have a stake in this one

Shoes in the house was the first thing I thought

Lindsay Hoyle has graced us with a pic as well

Monolith just out of shot

oh noes, not this - anything but this

The super-rich are preparing to immediately leave the UK if Jeremy Corbyn becomes prime minister, fearing they will lose billions of pounds if the Labour leader does “go after” the wealthy elite with new taxes, possible capital controls and a clampdown on private schools.

Lawyers and accountants for the UK’s richest families said they had been deluged with calls from millionaire and billionaire clients asking for help and advice on moving countries, shifting their fortunes offshore and making early gifts to their children to avoid the Labour leader’s threat to tax all inheritances above £125,000.

The advisers said a Corbyn-led government was viewed as a far greater threat to the wealth and quality of life of the richest 1% than a hard Brexit.

hey up as soon as i clicked that video it's Preston Road

lot of billionaires down there will be sweating on Corbyn winning

Don't see the difference between that Hull video and numerous Harris ones tbh. Single shot of that detached graffitied house is some prime Real England estate though.

Who'd've thocht it?

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/02/dominic-grieve-calls-for-release-of-report-on-russian-meddling-in-uk

It is understood that the dossier examines allegations that Russian money has flowed into British politics in general and the Conservative party in particular. It also includes claims that Russia launched a major influence operation in 2016 in support of Brexit.

They should do this

“One Labour policy wonk impishly suggests the incoming government could follow the example of the Bolsheviks in 1917 and immediately publish highly sensitive documents relating to previous governments.” https://t.co/3Or1czgdTS

oh god no the last thing this country needs is to be radically transformed, bring back the adults in the room

I bet some rando Labour policy wonk would have been a bit more nervous about mentioning the Bolsheviks - even in jest - during GE' 17.

The Labour candidate running against BoJo in his constituency seems a decent lad.

I called out Lib Dem PPC @thattimwalker for using a mental health slur as an election slogan and he blocked me, despite me being a fellow party member and former Councillor. 🤷‍♀️

it's almost as if he's a Tory cunt in disguise

Should I know who Tim Walker is?

are we even in purdah yet ? blue ticks excelling themselves

I was out on the razz with my friend who’d launched a book and SM was in our group (Mark S was there for a bit, too). She is a lot less confrontational about JC when called on it face to face (“yeah, I know he's a good MP”) by not-blue tick me, which I can’t decide is civility or not, and I was happy enough saying ‘I’m a gentile who doesn’t get into it with Jewish people who don’t like Corbyn on Twitter because I wouldn’t want a moron like Hadley Freeman casting aspersions on me. Also my chicken soup with matzoh balls BANGS.’

She did call me George Monbiot when I said I’d never been in Starbucks, even to pee.

I think this pause fracking stunt was an ill advised manoeuvre. It won't cut the mustard with those opposed to it and if anything it'll piss them off even more and only serves to highlight that labour are committed to stopping it and they aren't.

xp not really, he's just some Tory hack

Apparently a candidate for the Lab left has been selected for Chuka's seat

GRUDGE MATCH

Bell Ribeiro-Addy – Chief of staff and political advisor to Diane Abbott

The selections the past fortnight have produced BAME candidates after concern that none had been selected yet, and they’re in safe seats too.

Chuka is standing in the City & Westminster constituency, not Streatham fwiw. That's currently Mark Field's constituency and will probably return a Tory again but its definitely up for grabs.

OTOH it could end up splitting the vote and returning a Labour MP. There were only 4000 or so votes in it last time.

It might not: according to someone I know living there, Mark Field’s wife (some kind of theatrical agent IIRC) was pretty key in getting a certain type of modern Tory voter to support him. I’d say that a Remainer has a chance and a half there.
