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

He should be recasting his entire project as a pro-business agenda as well as a pro-community agenda - it's an approach that works well for him.

― Matt DC,

There's definitely room for him to be doing this, its a vacated space and its also has the benefit of being true

Re the South African QT fella calz mentioned

Is this guy the ultimate Question Time superfan? He's been on at least four times, travelling to Peterborough, Scarborough, Lincoln, and then Sheffield tonight. And he always wears the same white shirt. He should get to go on the panel as a treat. pic.twitter.com/5MdsQBuJXs

Nigel Farage’s candidate in Glasgow North has been accused of Islamophobia by one of the country’s leading anti-racist organisations.

Hope Not Hate say the Brexit Party’s Dionne Cocozza has frequently shared posts on her social media that portray Muslims as “inherently violent and a threat to the rest of the population”.

Labour and the SNP have criticised the Eurosceptic.

The investigation by the group followed a report in the Glasgow University student newspaper, the Glasgow Guardian.

Cocozza yesterday deleted her Twitter account.

Just two weeks ago the candidate shared a number of posts by the far-right Politicalite website claiming there was a planned Muslim “takeover”.

While in October 2018 Cocozza shared a tweet suggesting that “Germany will become African and Islamic if mass migration isn’t stopped” from Voice of Europe, a large Islamophobic website and Twitter account which often publishes well-known far-right activists.

Hope Not Hate believes Cocozza has a “strong belief” that white people are being discriminated against.

In one tweet highlighted by the group, Cocozza claimed “there’s mosk [sic] schools underground in UK”.

This ended up in a debate with a now-deleted Twitter account. After having backtracked on her first statement, she ends her last tweet saying “You can’t say anything if your [sic] white 2019”.

I'm being dumb - does anyone know what account on twitter I originally nabbed these from

Also Corbyn's neutrality has clearly made a splash but there needs to be a stronger follow up message - "I trust the people to decide" or similar.

Christ, according to the voter registration dashboard, over 100,000 people under 25 registered to vote yesterday.

And 103k for 25-34

biggest voter registration day on record I read?

Is it? They registered half a million of the same age group on the last day of registrations in 2017, but it hasn’t closed yet, so potential to go higher. Is it really possible the debate pushed that?

you may be right - can't remember who said it

More than 300,000 people, including over 200,000 under-35s, registered to vote in the general election on Friday in what is thought to be the largest surge in pre-election registration in UK political history.

The race to join the electoral roll took place on the unofficial Naitonal Voter Registration Day declared by campaigners and backed by civil society groups and trade unions with the social media hashtag #RegisterToVote.

Some 308,000 registrations were recorded in the space of 24 hours, the vast majority of them online.

Among those signing up to vote in the 12 December general election were 103,000 under-25s, 103,000 25-34 year-olds, 53,000 35-44 year-olds, 28,500 45-54 year-olds and around 20,000 over-54s.

NEW: Former Labour MP Ian Austin backed Boris Johnson over Jeremy Corbyn... now he has gone several steps further

Austin has written a personal endorsement for — wait for it — the "outstanding" Philip Davieshttps://t.co/A8pewIfC4G

Ian Austin, Labour man

really need to get down the bookies and get my bet on for LAB maj + BJ lose seat + swinson lose seat

See the graphics for full results.
Changes w/ 12th Nov.

Still absolutely ridicuous imo but moving in the right direction

Hopefully it's going to move faster because that's disastrous.

That poll is a week old tbf.

tories have an average 13pt lead in the polls. it was a 17pt lead at this point in the 2017 election

A few polls in mid-May 2017 had Labour on 28% and Tories almost on 50.

Just trying to do some maths on potentially 3 million 'new' votes in this election if the turnout goes up a few percent so a result like that poll requires Labour to lose around that many votes in return while the Tories GAIN .5-1 million? I mean come on.

also are these polls going to adjust for all these hundreds of thousands of young voters getting on the electoral register? The figures quoted in this thread have to be significant.

really good thread worth clicking through for

Another big problem for the Tories in #GE19 has been trust. Johnson has come across as disingenuous in these debates, and his top lines sound unbelievable... May had a similar problem in 2017. This could return in #GE2019 as "Get Brexit Done" becomes 2019's "Strong and Stable"... pic.twitter.com/MAFKEWfhDa

tim walker says 'neutrality is not what leadership looks like' - must be notable that all the FBPEs in tim walker's mentions seem to be saying "actually... this position is pretty sound and I'm fine with it"

Why the fuck he didn't just articulate this months/years ago when it was obvious this was how he felt I have no idea

I think my fave Fiona Bruce bit was when she said something like " I didn't think it would take long for that phrase to make an appearance " to "oven ready" it was quite a sick burn really and made him look like a repetitious Maybot upgrade.

given some of the rest of the crap they've pulled, i wouldn't trust these 3 million new votes to be bots. it's almost like a ddos on the registration process.

Who is 'they' here and why would they pull any crap on the registration process?

the polls can't really adjust accurately for the young new voters bcz they don't know how to weight for them yet -- they don't know how this arriving lump of voter will carve up in terms of vote share (including turn-out models) so any adjustment will be a more or less bullshit guess, and the root of the guess is either a dicethrow or motivated reasoning: "surely the entirely effect must be in THIS DIRECTION [= an untested guess]?" or else "surely the effect will be negligeable (bcz young ppl don't vote and anyway bots?)"

they is the same guys who did a DDOS on the labour website? = rob burley's son large son cyril iirc

they = the ones who pulled the factcheckuk and the labourmanifestuk website shit.

lol ok and this is to give Labour a false sense of security/get the older voters to turn out?

big dials marked 'RACISM' and 'HANGCRIMINALS' will be getting cranked this week no doubt

false hope, gaming pollsters, fake voters, even. at this point i wouldn't put anything past them. what checks are made during registration? is there even a 'i am not a robot' checkbox? 8)

this is the party that illegally stopped parliament, remember.

ok,

"You’ll be asked for your National Insurance number (but you can still register if you do not have one)."

but

"There’s a different process to register anonymously, for example if you’re concerned about your safety."

but maybe i've watched too much The Good Wife

I think my fave Fiona Bruce bit was when she said something like " I didn't think it would take long for that phrase to make an appearance " to "oven ready" it was quite a sick burn really and made him look like a repetitious Maybot upgrade.

Bemused that the Tories are still pursuing this approach after the last time, are they dim or what? Fuck a Paxman obviously, but we need someone to tell Tory ministers, under instruction to talk over interviewers, to shut the fuck up and answer the question just asked.
