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

I have located a real life Liberal Democrat

I shall begin ethnographic studies tomorrow, but I can tell you this much already. They are pro death penalty

Austin's a headbanger, everybody knows it, the Tories and the media are just pretending he isn't, same with Woodcock and Mann, to name but two.

The thing with Austin, Mann and Woodcock is that they are so clearly and viscerally unpleasant, I’m not sure they’re convincing anyone who wasn’t already looking for a reason.

Exactly, they're all horrors and, if the Tories get back in they'll be out on their arses even quicker than Corbz would bin them.

And nobody mentions Woodcock’s sexual harassment allegations except people like us!

This is all a rehash of pre-2017 rhetoric partly because now they will probably use the LD surge, if it does end up costing Labour enough seats, to claim that the AS debacle has cut through this time.

Yes, funny how that just disappeared. Even TW’s stuff was included in all the front page stories today. Also interesting how his links to Erdogan are extremely fine and not remotely a cause for concern.

Austin saying he was so broken up and conflicted about his 100 year service to the Labour Party, man and boy, that he didn't even consider switching to the Lib Dems - YOU SUPPORT BREXIT YOU UTTER TWAT.

These people are really small beer and they'll make negligible impact. The worst is Williamson, so angry I couldn't even enjoy Watson fucking off last night.

The Jewish Chronicle ran this piece only w few days ago

This thoughtful piece by Rabbi Howard Cooper is a must-read.

The far-right is infecting our politics, and we cannot be complacent about the threat that poses towards us.https://t.co/qhkpN0G5Az

The letter was garbage too but it's that he is standing as an independent and splitting the Lab vote, turning a marginal to the Tories.

yeah, totally shithouse move, CWvmic

Yair Wallach provides some important context

When asked about the most important issues deciding their vote, Jewish voters brought up Brexit (31%), then antisemitism (19%) (or 26% if you also include the 7% who mentioned "stopping Corbyn" as their highest priority). https://t.co/sYCogrqsfx

Austin and Woodcock are no doubt not standing in order to help the Tories but I'm pretty sure they've also been told their personal following in their constituencies is not as great as they fondly imagined. Ditto, who is going to vote for this unpleasant cunt, Williamson? Fingers crossed, lost deposit coming up.

Its tough to see even non unpopular independents doing well, never mind these guys

They must have a wee gang of acolytes in their clp, not going to go far with the electorate but enough to chip some labour support youd imagine

I really can’t see any of them outperforming Danczuk

Williamson has a real rabid cult around him, but fingers crossed not enough of them are actually in his constituency, or he is just made to see sense and fuck off

I really hope you are right and it's just the twitter following.

ian austin acting the total cunt on c4 news right now

austin’s objections to johnson’s letterbox and watermelon smile bullshit with ‘i wouldn’t have chosen those words’ but otherwise he was making good points

get fucked

Voters aren’t stupid, people know a grudge when they see one.

Whereas I can see some of the Tory independents actually doing well

I really can’t. This isn’t Ireland, people don’t really vote in independents (don’t @ me with examples). Grieve will hold onto his deposit but Soubry is a goner.

aye he is a footnote distraction. news are all leading on the BIG SPENDING

The opening of this is pretty hideous behaviour. But even the analysis is wrong because if Labour lose badly Corbyn is gone and things will surely be up for grabs again (we'll see what happens on Dec 12th is the hint) (ofc it's all internal claptrap, no mention of how fucked the country will be, just tears for these vile ppl)

you can't really explain Corbynism without talking about New Labour's role in bringing in austerity and assisting the tories to continue it. Such deep soul searching going on here, because she doesn't even fucking mention it once.

This is a very good piece about Watson’s departure and the wider failure of Blairites. Plenty of good observations.

it was good back when mark s linked it earlier :p

Sorry I dipped out after reading this total nonsense

It was a new creature where slavish loyalty to the leader was the only currency that mattered

an evening is a long time in politics threads

it was good back when mark s linked it earlier :p

ffs

Ayesha Hazarika? Is it her who has the parallel career as a stand up comedian? Enough said?

gyac’s phone is just playing to the gallery now, pfft

isn't Matt Tharb an American newspaper columnist

Ayesha Hazarika who is now editor of the Evening Bastard’s Londoner’s Diary, hired by George Osborne. She writes as if Tom Watson’s left the Labour Party. He hasn’t.

Otm I watched this fucker too

I still can't get that image out of my head of Austin losing his rag with a history academic because he says something completely correct and uncontroversial about the holocaust, and because it didn't suit his dimwitted Churchill fanfic version of history he becomes aggressive and deeply unpleasant. I can't imagine him having many friends in this world.

all the bloke said was that the Holocaust would have spread to Britain if the nazis invaded, as evidenced by British citizens getting deported to Auschwitz from the Channel Islands.

yes That's the one!

nasty little bigoted bastard, complete lack of humility, thick as a plank. There must be a suitable political party out there for him to join.

Xp watching him switch straight from asserting that Corbyn will be a DISASTER to handwaving Boris Johnson I mean

"big queues for JC tonight"

sheeit that's an impressive queue! whatever the haters say about Corbyn - they can't touch his skills as a campaigner. It's been pissing it down all day up here as well!

fake news. people won’t come out for a winter election...
