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

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.

Oh no! This asshole is ruining my searches for quotes from the post.

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

We know this though, it's because he's going on tour with The Smiths.

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

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 🍀🍀🍀

Olivier Ntcham scores the winner in the 95th minute 🙌

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

Thanks to the LibDems, university tuition now costs £27,000 https://t.co/7JGv1X1Qg6

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

3K at 55 to train you for the job you'll have to keep doing until you die, good shout

Nah seriously a great bunch of lads I don't know why people are mean to them, whining povs need to stfu

does £4k even cover a short course on the correct way to sweep rubble these days?

Thanks to Skills Wallets i got my asbestos awareness card and am now qualified to enter the asbestos ball-fighting championship where the top prize is a full time job on minimum living wage without the zero hours conditions!

Nah but they're a proper grown-ups party for mature, thoughtful adults who love the EU and wallets and maintaining degrading levels of poverty.

Sam Gyimah accusing Emma Dent-Coad of bearing responsibility for Grenfell is something else.

jesus wept, I preferred when he was a tory without the orange strides - but still a complete cunt.

He seems to have this weird idea that minority parties have the power to implement policy, must be the Lib Dem Kool Aid

There is so much dubious bullshit talked and reported on (in a completely disingenuous manner) about how drastic cuts from central government somehow is blameless from the appalling results it causes, and oh yeah New Labour also approved of it, so shut up complaining.

I like it when the Tories of various colours try and use shitty Nu Lab policies to beat Corbyn with like it's the same party now.

> Nigel Farage admits he was offered a peerage 48 hours before election U-turn

Is this legal?

Listening to the news about the possibility of Farage withdrawing from all but safe Labour seats is a pretty depressing start to the day.

I don't know that it should be all that depressing. The main reason he is withdrawing is because he thinks he's going to get poor numbers. Leave voters are generally chill with what Boris is offering. And whats the point of standing in only safe seats? Maybe the public aren't that bothered about brexit after all

think he may withdraw from further seats ? am sanguine either way

see that some of the candidates he has stiffed still intend to stand as independent brexit candidates

Yeah I am not entirely convinced them standing in Labour-Tory marginals benefits the Tories more? But we’ll see.

Re: those independent candidates!

....and the rest. I employed a full time campaign coordinator last week on a 2 month contract which has cost me thousands. I also have an outbuilding FULL of Brexit Party leaflets and signs ready for next weeks launch.

Nigel owes me over TEN GRAND. https://t.co/KxRlVLIyoZ

It has to mean a gain in votes for the Tories. Whether it's a significant gain in significant seats...well, we'll see.

Poor old Nige coming across like a deflated balloon this morning, gone the cheeky chappie with the pint of lager beer to hand. Nigel Farage is no longer a fucking hero.

sunak on today in front of a live audience... are they laughing at him ?!

lol they were

Sun, Mail, Times all falling for Farage to pull out of every marginal

not sure BXP and CON votes are completely fungible. there must be a lot of BXP voters who are 1 ex-LAB never tory or 2 anti-govt change voters

He was listlessly still attacking the Tories this morning while at the same time trying to convince the viewers and himself that a video of Boris waffling away shot in two minutes on a Sunday night represented a genuine change in direction by the Tories. Pathetic.

Ex-Labour Never Tory. There used to be a lot of them in Scotland once upon a time.

Yeah I think there will be enough to get Tories the marginals they need. They wouldn't have voted Labour for at least two elections and they are quite a bit way into being converted by voting UKIP already.

The only hope would be enough Brexit Party independents standing.
