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

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?

andrew gwynne labour's shadow 'communities' bod is pressing the tories on how they drew up the list for their 'towns fund'

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...

Oh Christ, this Jo Swinson launch. Bemoaning Universal Credit and a shitload of other things she voted for in Coalition.

Sexist.

look, taking responsibility for the things we voted for which killed 130,000 of our fellow britons is the old politics

Common Sense christ I hope this gets hung around his neck forever

I’ve had positive, admittedly pre-Coalition, interactions with her but today’s JS is white feminism in excelsis.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/05/government-pushes-ahead-plans-festival-of-brexit

festival of shite morelike innit? it sounds as much fun as the stalin era "festivals of labour" where he was saying "no more weekends lads we've got a 5 year plan to complete and then another, innit great tho? grrr you better enjoy it!"

Corbyn's Brexit will kill more than 130,000 dreams and hopes though.

never mind the thousands of squirrels whose dreams ended in Jo's garden 😢

It’s baldism on full throttle clearly anyone with a bald spot is being targeted by the Tories media machine. Bald men must vote Labour to end this targeted harassment

Swinson says she is “absolutely, categorically” ruling out using Lib Dem votes to put Corbyn into No 10.

ffffffuuuuuuuuck offffffffff

She says Labour are in the clutches of Corbyn and his supporters. Even if the leader were to change, the direction of policy would not.

oh noes, imagine the horror of having coherent, consistent policy positions

maybe they could relaunch their racist mugs to reel her back in

All good because this Swinson anti-Labour shite is more likely to force Remainiacs to vote Labour than not. She's a dimwit.

yeah, i unironically love to see it

The more people who understand that it's a straight choice between Labour and the Tories, and there's no prospect of the Lib Dems operating as a 'moderating influence' on the former, the better.

I bet there must be loads of libdem mp's/members who have realised she's a complete idiot by now - if they didn't already know.

all i want for xmas is for her to lose her seat

(and full communism in the uk as a little stocking-stuffer obv)

People sometimes accuse me of trying to talk to both sides at once in the Brexit debate; to people who voted leave and remain.

You know what? They’re right.

Why would I only want to talk to half the country?

I don’t want to live in half a country.

Anybody seeking to become prime minister must talk to and listen to the whole country.

Labour stands not just for the 52 per cent or the 48 per cent, but for the 99 per cent.

It’s Labour that’s determined to bring a divided country together.

Labour stands not just for the 52 per cent or the 48 per cent, but for the 99 per cent.

yesssss

(it won't work)

NGL, I kind of _really want_ the Brexit party to contest all 650 seats, if only to see what the 650th most suitable Brexit Party candidate looks like.

Some reasons why Johnson’s apparent strategy to win seats ‘in the North’ seems to me unlikely to work ...

we need to start a book on the exact number of brexit party candidates who are gonna be forced to stand down before the election due to being unmasked as domestic abusers / deadbeat dads / wanted criminals / gold-medallists in the racist posting olympics

add to that list foreign nationals and/or not resident in the seat in which they are standing (RIP Paul Nuttall and his empty house in Stoke)

Is he standing? He joined the brexit party this year apparently.

announce hookem

put me down for 650

it's where the smart money is going

Jesus Christ

The most elegant solution to this would be if Rosie were now to join @LibDems. I'm happy to let the constituency decide the issue and I will be taking a close interest - as I am sure Rosie will be - in the polling. If she wishes to join our party, I will happily stand aside. https://t.co/Npkc22zb6N

we're reaching levels of centrist bullshit that shouldn't even be possible, captain

hope he dies soon

this campaign is going unsettlingly well and it hasn't even started yet

tbf i hope every piss diamond in the country dies soon

jo swinson certainly seems set on hastening everyone's demise

very powerful testimony

Impossible to watch this 34 second clip and not cry. To see a woman's dignity take such a hammer blow because she has no food for her or her loved ones in the 5th richest country on the planet. Unbearable viewing. pic.twitter.com/EUODFul8oy

truth is, anyone voting for a party that disenfranchises people in this fashion do deserve to die. Fuck all this lowering the tone of political discourse bullshit. Gulag 'em all!

If I could grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals... and MPs too.
