no that one is good!

I see Sir Richard J Evans is voting Labour (with the caveat that he still hates Corbin)

that's hung parliament territory that one, isn't it?

It is. OTOH ALL polls are bad.

Oh look! Its the "Hang Mandela" Tory Party 👀 https://t.co/Fbid4NFl5h

there’s only one type of bdsm acceptable to tories

Fuck.

BREAKING: A @UKLabour activist has been attacked in Herefordshire while on the #GeneralElection2019 campaign trail. The victim, a woman in her 70s, was thrown onto a car bonnet in Bromyard and left with bruising and suspected broken ribs. More details right now on @bbchw. pic.twitter.com/WYdexjRhLn

has happened twice, to two 70yos. whotf does that

Hang Mandela type Tories

"a good hiding"

Bromyard is sort of where I'm from, small town and lots of tory farmers, bit depressing to read.

*real hiding, even

a good hiding not uncalled for tbf

A Labour "activist"? Does the Beeb also call Tory canvassers "activists"? BXP?

Anyway, hope she gets well soon and isn't too traumatised, what a horrible thing to happen

btw I got a leaflet from the Tories today (after approx five billion from the Lib Dems, 0 Lab, 0 BXP - Greens are not standing here once again) and the tagline is "Time for change".

Yeah, after 9.5 years of you bastards screwing up the country, the best way I can think of to get "change" is to vote you in locally as well, right.

big man like stormy

Stormzy backs Corbyn 10 minutes ago.

In those 10 minutes, the number of people registering to vote shot up from 4,500 to 47,000 right now.

We can win. Young people, we’ve got 28 hours left to register to vote.

corbyn doing interview w/ladbible tomorrow on registration deadline day. smart play - 2.5m twitter followers + 37m facebook followers

The relentless tidal wave of I've Always Been Labour But... continues on all channels.

stormzy <3

ladbible less so but I'll take whatever tbh

stormzy fuckin’ rules

all kicking off at dominic raab's hustings. could be bad if there was a confrontation between him and harry dunn's parents (who are currently outside and able to get in)

No room in the church for the hustings event. Dozens still outside. Changing: “LET US IN!”, including the family of Harry Dunn who want to speak to Dominic Raab. pic.twitter.com/vsYyIco8LX

von Raabentropp's winning personality really comes to the fore when he's in campaigning mode!

Honestly think I have to stop reading this thread & uninstall twitter til exit poll. It’s doing absolutely nothing for me and I feel sick and anxious every time I think about it.

This was me for about three days. Today's ICM poll is making me hope again, but the HUGE difference between it and the one for The Observer released on Saturday evening is messing with my mind.

4500 to 47000? Are those numbers right??

"The mood in the Lib Dem camp is one of “concern, close to despair”, according to one senior party figure..." https://t.co/1IoApBA2QJ

yup - they're right. has been solidly between 20-30k for the hours since that spike

that ft story is just... delightful

noob qn - how do I place a custom political bet? is it possible to do it online? e.g. lab maj + bj lose seat + swinson lose seat

🤔

Boris Johnson could urinate through my mam’s letterbox and I’d still vote for him. It’s so important that we get Brexit done, deliver on that solemn promise, avoid going the same way as Venezuela and selling our armed forces for tea in No 10 with some of our most fervent enemies.

xp
it's related betting so you would have to get a quoted price, best ringing them perhaps. But fuck knows! tbh when I used to be a betting shop manager they still had £10 jackpots on the fruit machines!

:( :( :( :(

thx calz

You can see the exact point that Stormzy asked people to register to vote and vote Labour on the government voter registration site pic.twitter.com/gTpxvK440i

— Bloonface says vote Labour 🌹 (@bloonface) November 25, 2019

Daniel - that's where the numbers are coming from

Heseltine and Blair need to get a room.

ideally a pine one, six feet under

That's amazing. xp to stormzy

Meanwhile LauraK is all over the Rabbi story as if it is thee game changer of this GE? Like, that's it. It was hard work, but we finally got Cromryn cancelled properly.

This very impartial Rabbi?

quite easy to look back smugly at the early 20th century and think howtf could ordinary people slide into fascism like that

meanwhile, elderly labour canvassers are being attacked in the street

the media’s whole approach to this strikes me as really dangerous for jewish people - it won’t be tories putting their bodies on the line to protect them from fascists. fully understand jewish people’s’ anxiety but when a yougov poll shows people think 30% of labour members have committed antisemitic acts/are antisemitic you really have to question the very irresponsible reporting of this serious issue. (very serious issue: antisemitic attacks are on the rise in europe ffs)

and when there has been no (zilch zero none) analysis or interrogation of the governments approach to dealing with the (very wide scale) antisemitism within its ranks (often at the top of the party eg bravermans cultural marxism; endorsing orban) etc

don’t think the approach is one not helpful in the very important fight against antisemitism

(while they have not dealt with the issue well, labour does get absolutely zero credit for the measures it HAS put in place, which were now dealing with the antisemitism
in the party that previous leadership’s ignored)

does that polling result reflect the degree to which british people think labour is islamophile? or even, does it reflect the percentage of islamophobes in the uk population? like, I find the antisemitism "question" puzzling until I think about it as a proxy for islamophobia, but I'm not sure that's right.
