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

Bridgen blasting holes in the sinking boat on PM right now

[Q: Did Rees-Mogg want to say he would not have stayed put?] That is exactly what he wanted to say.

[Q: Is he saying he is cleverer than the people who died?] *silence* But we want very clever people running the country, don't we? Jacob is very well educated ... very clever ... we need people like that. People will want the very best people, the brightest and best making decisions for them. Nothing that Jacob said detracts from his ability to make the best decision for people.

Incredibly thoughtful and careful interview from @ABridgen right now on #pm.

fuck me

nuke london

(sorry for all the collateral damage but the media class would be decimated in a stroke)

This prospective Tory candidate is the guy who said women should ''keep their knickers on'' to avoid being raped. The same man who (falsely) claimed the BBC were going to report me to the police over my petition to have him sacked unless I took it down. https://t.co/fFOLICDb3R

I’m honestly not sure

I thought she was but oh god what if she isn't

I bet she is - given the smug guy who does Times coverage said he is widely disliked among Westminster reporters.

And his own party calls him “spud-u-hate”.

tbf there's loads of media class in Manchester now so we might need a couple of nukes

pretty sure Maitlis is Tory to the core

Bridgen's 'argument' falls down on the fact that it's become increasingly clear that Rees-Mogg is a fucking shit-for-brains idiot.

I think they can shift away from Remain pretty easily if necessary

This is the one thing they cannot do?

― Andrew Farrell,

Why not?

I'm with you on that one.

Anyone* affected by the Jim reign of fire is welcome to shelter with us.


LLib Dems can’t pivot away, because what else can they offer that Labour don’t outflank them on, either in terms of probability or radical ness?

*probably two max sry

I don't mean right now!

Indeed, post-election they can be that vital moderating influence agan.

Yeah they'll ensure the Tories don't oh fuck it I can't

Except they also know what happened last time they were a moderating influence?

And this is a bigger issue than tuition fees.

There are many extraordinary/fascinating things about that interview. One is Bridgen’s complete deference to JRM and his authority and intellect despite some considerable evidence to the contrary today. Voice, breeding and background still count for so much in England.

Tell me about it, Mark Francois has more brains than JRM.

They do but only with cunts tbf

maitlis must have meant “interview of”

must have

People are too impatient for pivots! Patience!

And this is a bigger issue than tuition fees.

― xyzzzz__,

To their voters? We'll see, not convinced of that one.

Except they also know what happened last time they were a moderating influence?

on a separate note Lewis Goodall has been really good for Sky News - shame he’s going to Newsnight tbh.

I reckon it is, yeah. Cuts across the age range a lot more I'd say.

xxp the membership and many of the party. MPs lost seats over this

Did the membership of the Lib Dems has decline significantly after/during the coalition? I don't know but I'm guessing not.

Dropped by a third.

Dropped by a third.

No worries, it was above pre-coalition membership within 4 years and is now almost three times the size.

xp to the Lewis Goodall tweet ob.

Don’t quote me on this but Sky is generally a lot better than the BBC - BBC needs Goodall more.

/Dropped by a third./

(xp) Sky is generally much better despite Kay Burley and despite deciding to slap the strapline Brexit Election on everything - I think they might rethink the latter as the campaign goes on.

This tweet by Goodall merges both discussions in the thread

Jo Swinson says Labour and the Tories “merge into one on Brexit”

This is a hard position to sustain. Labour are committed to a referendum in all circumstances. The Tories are committed to no referendum in all circumstances.

What am I missing?

time to wheel out my two favourite kay burley moments. seeing her in the supermarket instructing her assistant which things to pick off the shelves and put in the trolley.

second, on air, asking someone with peremptory contempt “Is that grease to the mill for your opponents?”
“I’m sorry, pardon?”
“Is it GREASE. TO. THE. MILL. for your *opponents*, Mr Whateveritwas”

"the entire eastern seaboard of the united states has been decimated in a terrorist attack” was pretty good tbf

also that time she tried to choke out another reporter

We are taking legal action against ITV for their outrageous decision to exclude Jo Swinson, the strongest voice for millions of Remainers across the country, from their TV debates.

So they want a mass debate?

Must Debate Her omfg xpost

Seriously I thought there was laws about not publishing actual lies in your campaign material

Leaked plans show Boris and Corbyn will be placed 75 yards ahead of DCI Swinson, who will walk forward purposely towards her spot alongside them, before arresting both

get an mp who will wants to stop brexit

I’m not sure anyone’s paying attention to the actual content here tbf

THE STRONGEST VOICE FOR MILLIONS OF REMAINERS is SILENCED.

*Swinson is literally e-ve-ry-where*

Nult for PM

he will have wanted to stop brexit
