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

i doubt it's a coordinated plot tbh

Why is this thought

What if 20 moderate Lab and Cons deserted to the Lib Dems right now?
What chance Swinson as PM?

xp any comment I make to this would be libellous

Country for Sale: UK Conservative Party has received a surge in donations from Russians in recent months. Donors with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin have donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to the party.
Imagine media ire if Labour did this.https://t.co/y56ItcNrSL

Gove will shat a rubik's cube when he reads this, and then try and use his vac to clean up the mess no doubt.

chris williamson get to fuck challenge

He wants his redundancy payment.

I saw a 2018 Laura Pidcock post sticking up for CW. Hope to fuck she has seen him for what he really is since then

Williamson handing a marginal to the Tories. A cunt till the end

still has #GTTO in his display name

Sure nobody will vote for him without a red ribbon.

Ugh, hope that massive swing to LDs in Wokingham is more to do with Redwood and it not being a particularly realistic target for Labour than indicative of bigger picture but now I'm nervous again.

The Business Insider article is predictably sloppy. For example:

Other donors include the Russian-born banker Lev Mikheev and the energy tycoon Alexander Temerko.

Temerko once said he and his “friend” Johnson would “plot” and drink wine together at Johnson’s parliamentary office, when Johnson was the UK’s foreign secretary, Reuters reported.

Temerko is ex-Yukos and has been accused of defrauding the Russian state / subject to extradition proceedings. He successfully fought them off by arguing that they were politically motivated and part of Putin’s ongoing attempt to expropriate the company. The conflation of pro and anti government Russians - or more accurately Brits with Russian heritage is not a route Labour and the Lib Dem’s should go down. Exploring why billionaires with vast amounts of largely unearned money parked in London are so keen to keep the Tories in power might be.

Remember all the fuss about Conservative data-gathering site https://t.co/0LQbEAqYoC?

Well fuss no longer, because it's disappeared. That url now redirects to the Conservative home page

Either that or the whole thing was a dream. I'm still not sure

BBC leading with the Ian Austin non-story. Astonishing and incredible, according to Chris Mason. Talk about clutching at straws.

Actually can’t wait to see Michael Rosen log on to reply to this

LOL watching Austin being interviewed right now, what a cornball! He's having his 15 minutes, bless him, a nonentity in a week.

deranged little fule who apparently eschews extremism urges voters to vote for hard-right Britannia Unchained, most right wing Tory party of the postwar era.

'I can't believe i'm voting for the party that just gave me a job as Trade Envoy'.

Honestly, watch his interview with Kay Burley, it's one of the most hilarious acting performances you'll ever see.

(xp) LOL

have they ?! he just said on today they’ve not given him anything

When you’re very concerned about antisemtism

First, no one looked at Ed Miliband and saw a potential prime minister with the strength to stand up to the SNP, let alone deal with an American president or face down Putin. Voters thought he was too left wing, out-of-touch and spent all his time in North London with people who already agreed with him.

He was appointed a Trade Envoy to Israel in July.

too... cosmopolitan?

And let’s not forget this either.

A senior Labour MP named as being involved in a plot to oust Ed Miliband breaks cover today to demand that the party toughens its stance on immigration.

Ian Austin, one of former prime minister Gordon Brown’s closest allies, said senior figures in his party had told him he ‘sounded like the BNP’ when he complained that too many people were coming to Britain.

He said the Labour leadership should embrace tough policies including a ban on benefit payments to new migrants who have paid nothing into the system, fingerprinting at the Calais border, and up-front payments by foreigners for NHS care.
