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

SNP had a slightly softer position last time no? anyway this aligns w/tom D and is probably right:

“... when it comes to the voting crunch, the SNP and the Yes movement hope and think they will prioritise Scottish independence over EU independence, and that the union is still the issue that defines everything in Scotland.”

Would that be real independence tho? :p

It is complex because by no means all SNP voters actually support independence.

It would be interesting to see what effect 12 months of Labour governnment might have on support for independence.

That’s the idea! For example if Labour’s deal or Remain referendum goes Remain, then SNP has some wind taken out of its sails.

I hope not, I want Scotland to be independent.

i honestly don't have a dog in that fight, if i was Scottish i think i'd probably be voting SNP but not because i give much of a fuck about independence

I hate the SNP but I hate the UK more.

You guys still have a lot of that regional tribalism going on that seems to look past policy altogether.

yeah I hate England as much as anybody I just don't much care for nation States in general

xp

Part of the regional tribalism thing Tombot is it does have loose, complex ties to class and economic politics, at least in a kneejerk way

You guys still have a lot of that regional tribalism going on that seems to look past policy altogether.

I think describing Scotland's problems with the UK as regional tribalism is tin-eared to say the least.

It probably says far too much about how many politics threads I read, but genuinely shocked someone who was in almost every thread that mentioned the LDs had such absolute crap still on his tl

Not so much racist as mortally, infinitely embarrassing tbh

But also racist

I always said ComRes were the best pollsters in the game!

That will have changed after BXP pulled out of nearly 300 seats today

That said, that was always going to happen, and Labour are certainly close enough to make a push

yeah national polling will have completely changed since this one and Boris made a reductive quip about floods in a northern brexity area.

BXP only standing in 300 seats may distort national polling no?

Looking forward to Farage being asked why he's now backing a deal he described as not Brexit or whether he knows something we don't, I'm sure journalists will be all over it

I'm actually sad enough to be quite excited at the prospect of seeing how it stacks up in the next batch of polls - not that I'm necessarily thinking it will be good.

If I had one bullet with Lineker and [insert most right wing and hateful tory here] in my range, it would be Lineker that get's the fucking bullet any day of the week.

Alan Shearer is good now because he likes Wolves.

the worst of that type will never not be ian botham

Botham is totally a Help for Heroes dude

But if Chris Sutton ever breaks out he'll be in with a shout of biggest cock in the universe

I feel like we should take this over to Blue Saturday esp as we have crossed the Botham line

I did once hear him give approval to the oohh Jeremy Corbyn chant on 5live, but even he is Labour it will be on the Blue brexity end of the spectrum I'd guess, and he's a complete arsehole whatever his politics!

Sutton i mean

Current Polling Compared to This Time in the 2017 Campaign:

Tony Watt, the most outspokenly pro-Labour footballer on Twitter as far as I know, is quite pally with Sutton. yeah the Celtic connection but I think there's something to Sutton having a decent political outlook for all his cockish comments about football itself

Chris Sutton, you say? OHHHHHH COME ON!!!!!!!!!

CELTIC SCENES!!!!!!!!!!!

CHRIS SUTTON HAS LOST THE PLOT ON COMMENTARY!

AMAZING 🍀🍀🍀

He hates Rangers even more than most Celtic fans do, so that's one feather in his cap.

some finish that

obvs pro Celtic but them smashing Lazio makes it even better

can't believe Brian Eno doesn't want to campaign on doorsteps for continuity austerity with added skills wallets

Can I just have the money?

Those amounts would barely get you a first aid certificate and Level 1 Basic Food Hygiene tbh
