Ne'er get thee stitched til Booris be ditched: UK General Election 2019

I was sure meg hillier would capture at least 1.8% of the vote oh well

Don't really gaf but why is Hoyle such a popular choice?

obv because he bears massive grudges against his former boss or something

In the days after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in August 1997, Hoyle asked for a new national children's hospital to be built as a memorial to her.[11] A few days later, Hoyle wrote to airport operator BAA, operators of London Heathrow Airport, urging them to change the airport's name to Diana, Princess of Wales Airport.[12] Neither proposal was carried out.

what an arsewipe!

it was a simpler time

Don't really gaf but why is Hoyle such a popular choice?

UK terror threat level downgraded from severe to substantial

Do they really think the people are this dumb to not see this for what it is, ie. a desperate attempt to make BJ look all tough and secure etc? Oh wait...

.@JWoodcockMP is to be special envoy on counter extremism with special focus on far right, Home Office to confirm.

John Woodcock went on a political junket to Turkey sponsored by Bosphorus Global, a think-tank run by President Erdoğan’s son-in-law Berat Albayrak the Turkish energy minister who wikileaks showed to be profiting from oil deals with ISIS

He will probably try to proscribe the YPG https://t.co/hXpKWKxa4Z

Keep seeing the Survation poll in Portsmouth South which has it LD 30: CON 27: LAB: 24: BXP 14

But the LDs held the seat for many years until 2015 so it'll merely be reverting to its norm

looooooooooooooool

Jo Swinson has said Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn would be 'sexist' if they don't allow her in leader debates. When asked if FM Sturgeon should be allowed, Swinson said 'But she can't be PM.' I said neither can you. 'This interview is over,' she said.

Woodcock has- at every opportunity- endorsed Erdogan, the AKIP and everything they stand for; destruction of Kurdish towns, funding and sustaining jihadists in Syria, mass imprisonment of journalists, academics and activists in Turkey. He IS an extremist. https://t.co/IdRIZPqcnr

He's a horror.

Don't really gaf but why is Hoyle such a popular choice?

I think MPs want a quiet life. I'm surprised how well Bryant did given that he's inveterate attention seeker and showboater who no-one likes and we've just had 10 years of that.

actually stomach turning reading the blue tick replies to his tweet

looooooooooooooool

Hoyle v. Bryant. Boring tit v. irritating wanker.

extremely pleased to see this

the grauniad is good again

steady

Oh Christ, Jess Phillips talking about Seumas Milne in Dispatches.

oh ffs I bet she's barely met him as an insignificant (attention seeking,self boosting realty tv star) backbencher!

I need to stop looking at polls but can't stop myself and that ICM one made me do a giddy Politics is Back, Baby ...awoooo!

Election rules not even kicked in and 7pts behind!

Hoyle: 325
Bryant: 213

the arse-Hoyle has triumphed

*whispers* orderrr, orrrderrrr

> 7pts behind!

is that good or bad?

CON: 38% (+3)
LAB: 31% (+2)
LDEM: 15% (-1)
BREX: 9% (-2)
GRN: 3% (-1)

these numbers extrapolated would mean what? a hung parliament? would LDEM go into coalition with CON again? would they dare? would that leave LAB + LDEM (+ GRN)?

at this stage very good for labour

Hope Corbyn's going to go in hard about the Russian report being sidelined by number 10.

lol

"You're going to need eyes at the back of your head." 👀@JeremyCorbyn congratulates the new Speaker of the House by drawing inspiration from a viral tweet showing @LindsayHoyle_MP watching the #RugbyWorldCup final but not looking at the TV.

Hope Corbyn's going to go in hard about the Russian report being sidelined by number 10.

Well, nobody else is going to. Apart from Dominic Grieve.

From a 2013 profile of Hoyle

Hands on hips, arms akimbo, his Lancastrian boom quite distinct from speaker John Bercow's south-easterly tone, Hoyle reined in Ed Balls for waving the Evening Standard's bootleg version of the budget from the front bench. "You should observe the courtesies of the House and should know BETTERRR," he remonstrated with a pointing finger. "I DO NOT WISH TO SEE IT."

And then they lezzed up

fucked it

Tonight I have written to Jeremy Corbyn to ask him if he has made up his mind on Brexit.

I see he signed that letter for a change.

... ha, I've just noticed that! (xp)

jog on with your daft letters

2 or 3 page minimum and text heavy.

JC should just reply with a copy of the manifesto and be like “wait like everyone else clown”

do we reckon the signature typo is more of this

I'm really sceptical about that strategy, for what it's worth. It's desperate. But it is a really depressing marker of where we are at. pic.twitter.com/ZFpgj0w33P

on another topic - there was a good clip of laura parker going round with her talking about billionaires. she's so impressive

That’s not a typo, PM letters usually have the d-list at the end. It’s just so long it looks like the sign off.

See this letter here:

You’d think he’d edit out a sentence (or page) of that to avoid this kind of thing happening?

Literally zero.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/nov/05/tories-broke-pledge-on-starter-homes-in-2015-manifesto-report-says

look, doing things we promised to do is the old politics

instead let's give ourselves credit for having the courage to completely commit to absolutely not, under any circumstances, doing the thing we promised we were going to do

is a "starter home" another canard to match "affordable home". Even if they had built them they'd have either been converted container units/pacer trains or unaffordable, badly built wood and breezeblock shitholes where some tory donor owns the leasehold. Tories don't build houses since Thatcherism.

but, didn't you hear, labour's environmentally friendly homes will kill the economy.

JRM getting off to a flyer on the campaign trail today.

Eesh, Jo Swinson saying she is confident she would be a better PM out of Johnson and Corbyn. And launching the campaign with Chuka...
