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

yeah, that's 100% great

Also, this train video is 100% a Corbyn-McDonnell production. Like why is Klopp in there?!

lol at fred savage giving a hearty thumbs-up

good video, good messaging - labour are really doing well at drip-feeding all this positive stuff, so when i do vote libdem next month it will be with such a heavy heart

Ya, must reluctantly conclude that a labour vote in my constituency of Kensington and Chelsea would be a waste #winning here

real headz know to vote Notebook

Simon Notebook finished up writing his conclusions on the case. He liked to write in French, something about the language gave him a sense of clarity. Janet didn't speak French, but they had a telepathic connection, everyone in the team was razor sharp, both with the banter but also the smarts. Two steps ahead at all times, she was one smart cookie, she just knew. She was going places alright, the Met would come calling soon enough. "Yass Kween" he chuckled under his breath. He wasn't quite ready to use it yet, but it was right there in his bullet point journal. Under 'Y'. Soon the time would come for him to use it, just a question of deploying successfully, at the most appropriate moment. He idly flicked to 'I'. 'Insane in the membrane, Janet Civils got a playne". He had planned to do it at the karaoke last Christmas, but came down with IBS and had to miss it. He underlined it, with a undulating wavy sort of line that reminded him of the sea in Dorset. Double underlying of "playne" for emphasis. It bugged him that it didn't rhyme properly, did it give it an extra fizz, or was it corny Still got a month to figure out some alternatives. Notebook liked alternatives, being able to switch plans at short notice was what made him stand out

We'll do it this time, Notebook, don't you worry!

Incredible that Klopp is in that video.

Could be divisive for fans of MCFC, MUFC, EFC, et al.

Btw if anyone knows if you can get speculaasbrokken in London, please let me know where!

Your best bet would probably be Hema I think! They've quite some Dutch 'December treats' in London shops, it seems.

There's this place in Highgate but that seems to be mostly about spices etc to make your own.

anvil is now obligated to do at least one of those every two or three days

Ty LBI! My friend appreciates that link!

Paul Mason is a bit dodge these days but this amused me (from his twitter):

Really weird the amount of shit Angela Rayner gets when this is the actual Education Secretary.

FREEDOM FRIES

xxp Can't be a nationalist without some wacky idea of what your national culture is

Worth reminding yourself that Christian fundamentalist loonies in NI and the US can usually trace their ancestry back to Scotland.

this is one of the top 3 things I like to blame Scottish people for tbh

Fuck knows why he's getting involved

if i didn't know better i'd suggest there's an orchestrated campaign to throw andrew under the bus

Former David Cameron aide Rohan Silva says Prince Andrew used the n-word in a meeting in 2012. "Well if you'll pardon the expression, that really is the n* in the woodpile," he reportedly said. #PrinceAndrew https://t.co/X523IKLuGL

another fuck kuennsberg day is it

She’s one of my three

she could have mentioned that Corbz referred to boris as "the warm up act" at the CBI.

What's the opposite of warm up act? Negmeister?

meanwhile, in glasgow... whatever the fuck this is

Meanwhile, here's how the polls are changing during the 2019 election. Labour and the Tories have improved their vote share steadily in the first few weeks - which is exactly what happened in 2017.

It's the hope etc.

canvassing update! i went out canvassing w/comrade alphabet! and my son! in westminster and the city of london where there has literally never been a labour mp! but there's no incumbent this time and the tories won by 3000 last time. soo.... maybe?? but hoo boy was it a disaster. lots of volunteers, which grouped off in fours and fives. we had a little troupe of 5, and a "board" with names and addresses, of mostly unknown affiliation, and they were all big estate blocks in westminster. either nobody was home, or they were tories or lib dems. nobody ever let us in. we were just huddled around the little keypads, trying flat after flat. finally somebody left the building and we introduced ourselves and he was like 'no labour in here mate!' and we're like, whatever. but eventually a guy let us in - who then confronted us in the hallway with his dog in his hands, demanding to know how we knew his name. and he then told us to get out (after having let us in....) He then followed us outside, and started haranguing us about GDPR! in the process of which he told us the entire estate was housing for ex-military. we then took a closer look at the "board". on the front someone had written 'HARD'. we tried another estate, and the buzzer at that one connected to people's phones, all of whom hung up on us.

we walked back dejected, not a single 'L' to mark against a name. it turns out we should have NEVER BEEN HANDED THAT BOARD as someone had already been there before, realised how hard it was, and was already cooking up a strategy to get inside. i was pretty annoyed at the organisers if i'm being honest. (i'm also annoyed that a white barrister guy was selected as the candidate above a lot of qualified energetic women and minorities).

going to try again this weekend - but in friendlier territory so my son doesn't get entirely demoralised

https://i.imgur.com/LgC3p3r.jpg

Someone Photoshop the word 'WELL' onto that post-it note pls

well done for braving the cursed realm though

Nice cap!

Yeah that area strikes me as Tory central tbh! Amazed at where they found the votes last time.

There is no GDPR violation in representatives of political parties using a copy of the electoral register in canvassing. Now you know! They ALL get to use this.

What can also be useful is doing a Zoopla value/sales history search on the road they send you to, on your way to the place.

Like our constituency is rock solid Tory, as are the nearby ones, and you’d see more Labour support in terms of window signs etc than you ever would in the two cities

i mean we did try to explain it but the guy's neck was visibly bulging, it was genuinely a little bit frightening. my son (8) went behind a lamppost.

xpost

Barbican/Golden Lane and Churchill Gardens in Victoria are possible Lab areas in Two Cities.

(xp) He must be pretty thin, your son.

No no, his son 'went' behind a lamppost you see

(sorry haha)

I think I’m supposed to be canvassing there on Wednesday... will try to avoid the HARD clipboard.

To be fair I did round my way (Peckham) last election and everyone was lovely so I’ve probably earned some Tory pricks.

good shout on Churchill, one of two Labour areas in two cities according to electoral calculus!

Did ye take one of those super happy “we’re having a great time on the #labourdoorstep, lots of enthusiasm for sending in the tanks!” that are so popular on labour twitter?

Kind of thinking it's bit of a waste sending people to the HARD neighbourhoods. This is a turnout election. There's only three and a bit weeks left, and Damascene conversions are going to be few, I think. Obviously you need to hit the marginals hard, but probably get a better return from maximizing turnout from more labour friendly areas.
