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”.

gyac, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 17:51 (six years ago)

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

Xia Nu del Vague (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 17:53 (six years ago)

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

Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:12 (six years ago)

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

This is the one thing they cannot do?

― Andrew Farrell,

Why not?

anvil, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:14 (six years ago)

I'm with you on that one.

Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:15 (six years ago)

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

gyac, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:16 (six years ago)

I don't mean right now!

anvil, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:17 (six years ago)

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

Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:19 (six years ago)

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

Xia Nu del Vague (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:21 (six years ago)

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

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:21 (six years ago)

And this is a bigger issue than tuition fees.

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:21 (six years ago)

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.

gyac, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:22 (six years ago)

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

Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:23 (six years ago)

They do but only with cunts tbf

Xia Nu del Vague (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:23 (six years ago)

maitlis must have meant “interview of”

must have

Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:24 (six years ago)

People are too impatient for pivots! Patience!

And this is a bigger issue than tuition fees.

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

Who is the “they” in this? The membership?

If so, I agree, both from seeing comments from members on twitter and anecdotal evidence from waverers I know. Channel 4 masterpiece Coalition has a class scene with Clegg being abused by his own members for thinking of going into coalition with the Tories and you’d imagine similar scenes from anyone still around from that period or earlier.

gyac, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:25 (six years ago)

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

Fizzles, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:26 (six years ago)

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

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:27 (six years ago)

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

Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:28 (six years ago)

Dropped by a third.

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

gyac, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:30 (six years ago)

Dropped by a third.

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

Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:32 (six years ago)

xp to the Lewis Goodall tweet ob.

Easy come easy go tbh. It’s the long term members who are going to be out leafleting and doorstepping voters.

gyac, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:37 (six years ago)

(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.

Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 18:39 (six years ago)

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”

Fizzles, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 19:21 (six years ago)

"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

Titanic was cliched Marxist crap. (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 19:34 (six years ago)

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.

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

Xia Nu del Vague (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 5 November 2019 19:41 (six years ago)

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

anvil, Tuesday, 5 November 2019 19:42 (six years ago)

get an mp who will wants to stop brexit
