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

the membership (including myself) isn't going to go all melty all of a sudden.

Molten, surely?

melton

It’ll stay left. I know people who joined and campaigned in 17 & who were successful in getting seats to change - and people are being enthused by the manifesto now and then. Esp as you can see the influence of young activists in it. They won’t wait, they’ll organise and get their own people in.

Depressing overhearing coworkers in the background supporting 80K QT bloke

Assuming some of those co-workers either earn 80k or are working towards it

Needless to say Burgon wasn't very good on this.

I feel about the aspiring rich worrying about their potential future taxes how I feel about all those cunts you see on twitter defending billionaires without getting paid for it. Taxes are the price you pay to live in a civilised society where children don’t go to school hungry, people don’t sleep on the street, and the sick are cared for with dignity. Couldn’t be me!

burgon is awful every time i see him

Too many ppl are still being paid off handomsely under the system to effect any kind of change.

And like James Morrison was saying a couple of days ago if the youth doesn't turn out (as in Australia) in the kind of numbers we need we could be cooked.

Hopefully we can see a pick up in the polls next week.

Burgon is one of them from that period when Corbyn was struggling to make the numbers for a shadow cabinet. Since then he might have got slightly better at dealing with questions which isn't really saying much. And he's also got much less likable became the only charm he had was the pitiable type as he kept getting rinsed by some of the most lightweight journalists in the game

I mean he did rinse the Sun for libel. Corbyn could take a tip from him there.

Thought you were mostly SNP. If so, what changed?

Stupor Friday is back baby! Astonished they could condense so much gammon into one studio audience.

feel like they could've combined this with Eastenders somehow to make a 2hr vile cunts shouting at each other special

get this communist aaahta mah pub

Grant Mitchell turns up in a for heroes shirt and does a citizens arrest on Corbyn

the kids are alright

Am told the most popular chant wasn’t “oh Jeremy Corbyn” but “Jo Swinson’s a Tory”, to the same tune

JC's power so potent they've had to crate him

im a congenital scottish nationalist despite being from a labour and unionist (as in in favour of the union) household, and i have voted snp in general elections and scottish greens in scottish parliament elections because i support independence and labour was never really an option for me as someone who had their first vote immediately following the iraq war (2003 scottish parliament elections) and who was in scotland which, you know, has a shitty labour party full of blairites, chancers, and half-gangsters.

im not a corbyn fan, i don't think he's a very effectual leader, i think the handling of anti-semitism has been woeful, etc. but i am heartened by the emergence of the labour left and labour manifestos which have heft to them.

what has sort of pushed me over the edge into full labour support has really been the scurrilous attacks from the media and from wealthy melts on social media on the labour leadership. the fact that even the guardian is a primarily anti-labour newspaper. tom harris urging support for the tories.

i also think that scottish independence will make much less sense if there is an rUK brexit. pace the snp we can't "escape brexit" through creating a northern irish border problem on the island of britain

Slab as it was always came across as awful, though some of the current MPs (Sweeney, Rowley) seem good.

Tom Harris is very much one of those “why the fuck are you Labour?” types, and, like a lot of them, always comes across as incredibly bitter and unpleasant. He’s found his level with the paywalled Telegraph articles nobody reads.

sorry meant to post this:

I am the UK’s youngest candidate for MP. (11/11/01) ask me questions!!

the best thing tom harris ever did was when he knew he'd absolutely fucked it in 2015 and he posted a video of him dragging his dog around the carpet attached to his hoover

really big impromptu crowd (on a wet friday night) for JC outside of the BBC ahead of the QT debate... CON poll lead cut by 3 in the latest panelbase....

to be fair to scottish labour, growing up my dad was pals with trade unionist leaders, councillors, mps, who all seemed decent and were all on the party's left

still loads of absolute nuggets in scottish labour. good to see people like this tho

In 2014, Stella voted Yes because she believed it would bring hope and transformation to her community.

Next month, Stella is voting Labour because only a Labour government will end austerity, ban zero-hour contracts and scrap Universal Credit.

well i don't know why i even tried but i managed 2 minutes of Question Time. you know these people exist but seeing them in the flesh is soul-destroying.

Thanks for the answer jim

who the fuck are these freaks?

in my house it's the Simpsons

refuse to watch this. Link me if there’s any good bits.

South African accented dude seems legit

Nice balanced QT crowd again - first 2 questions basically just statements about how Crombybs is terrifying

I am looking at the Guardian feed and the thing is Corbyn's patient approach is good at facing these clowns

At least that's how it looks from the transcript lol

this QT audience was wild for the first few questions. genuinely think JC handled the hostility really well though. he seems ice cold

Labour going up in the polls is bullying.

Corbyn has faced a ton of Lab right melt for years this should be breakfast for him

I hate myself so I’m watching but god I hate Fiona Bruce

this Scottish man lol

He's doing well is JC. Didn't let them do that gish gallup on him either. "let me answer the broadband question first"

Corbyn confirms he would be neutral during second referendum on Brexit.

It was bad not to do this during the debate. Wonder what the damage is?

Glad that someone adjusted Corbyn’s glasses.

Are indyref2 questions this year’s “why will you not nuke the foreigns” questions? There’s been like five in a row!

I wish some of these Scots would realise he won't commit anything towards indy ref2/SNP coalition during an election campaign. no labour leader would ffs because it simply becomes Tory propaganda.
