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

Not Blobby enough tbh.

I appear to be MIA in the mark s rundown.

re: one of the hardest things on the doorstep is convincing voters they CAN have the nice things in the Labour manifesto.

This is why someone like Blakely can be good, or at least markedly better than Jones (who tbf doesn't exactly fail at this, but doesn't go near it).

There's a contradiction between on the one hand a sick-of-experts combination of nihilism and anti-establishment feeling, and on the other a conformist deferent 'hmm these things sound good but wait can these guys actually add up numbers tho what does an expert say" attitude.

um everyone not included in my list is an ARTST who can't be reduced to a CHEEKY STEREOTYPE *wipes brow, looks shifty*

Yass bae :*

Johnson wants to be in more women Tories?

Anvil why are you pushing Blakeley this morning she isn't a candidate and she works TV studios trying to get the message that Lab economic numbers aren't bullshit.

Basically lots of lab members will make an effort on those marginals in the next two weeks. Corbyn and more leave friendly shadow cab ppl will push to keep the vote up.

f: chairman alph scornfully bullying the fainthearted

LJ -- as he has said time and time again to us all in highly tedious detail -- comes from private school and therefore cannot be bullied...I can only try my best.

message that Lab economic numbers aren't bullshit.

I'm in favour of anyone that is doing this

In Ireland currently a standard GP visit will cost you €70

DO NOT let the Tories sell off the NHS, you are no idea how lucky you are to have it #VoteLabour https://t.co/IuuPtjZ5aa

?

So my (audibly French) wife just got told that she can't get a smear test until she provides official proof that the last time she had one 'in her country' dates from at least a couple of years ago 'because too many foreigners are taking advantage of the NHS by coming here and using our free healthcare'. Can't wait to bail tbh.

Jesus Christ

If you decide to crowdfund a campaign to have this person obliterated from this and all future employment please let us know

Report that person to the relevant authority pom, that’s not right and it’s fucking awful. I hope she’s ok.

sacking offence, fuck 'em

I'll try to convince her to do it. As it stands, it's just an extra layer of alienation – we're pretty blasé by this point.

Also can we talk about this, because you have to find something absurd in the bleakness

Asked whether they’re preparing to empty-chair Boris Johnson by having a Boris-ice sculpture melt on stage of tonight’s climate change debate, C4 spokesperson:

“The clock is ticking. The ice caps are melting. Our invitation to the Prime Minister remains open until 7pm tonight.”

— Mark Di Stefano 🤙🏻 (@MarkDiStef) November 28, 2019

Sincerely hope they do frequent cuts to the melting face, I wasn’t going to watch this but I will now.

Honestly pom if it was me I’d think about going to the press, but women being lied to over something so important just twists my rage button.

channel 4 seems to increasingly be on the side of good for some reason

and yeah pom get 'em ffs

Labour candidate for Falkirk deselected for anti-Semitic posts - Labour won't be fielding a candidate at all now.

what a waste of ice

Is Falkirk their most cursed constituency? You’d have to make a case for another one.

waht, pom

that's horrible, I had hoped things were not that bad around here but apparently I was mistaken, for which I apologise and second everyone else's notes of "fuck 'em / report 'em" :(

Thanks for the link, gyac.

And thanks for the support, all. What makes it even more absurd is that she was scheduled to have one in October but had to cancel due to other health concerns.

my ?, apologies, was that id just seen cummings resignation

im now given to understand this news is a few weeks old, or isnt, or, well, ?

not the eric joyce fracas that led to the leadership election changes ?

Liking labour’s environment proposals a lot, though my own preferred policy would be to spend £2 billion on making new potholes and then planting a tree in each of those

i would watch a 12 hour slow-tv programme of boris ice sculpture melting.

Drag 'em Pom, that's fucking awful.

Pom, did she get a letter from the practice inviting her to one? I would hold that letter in their faces, and assume the “advice” was ignorance but it’s ignorance from listening to outright xenophobia in the press and from the government. Fucking awful.

xps to zebra

Yes that Eric Joyce...now shacked up with India Knight.

Really sorry to hear you facing this shit, Pom.

Good question – if memory serves, she did. I'll discuss this in detail with her as soon as she gets home.

2xp

Thanks LBI & xyz.

iTV actually had a very hard-hitting package last night on glacier melt. Can't remember the last time the BBC included something like that in their actual main news programmes i.e. the 10

Pom that's awful and stupid

sorry pom. solidarity

Tories in my mentions asking where we'll get the land from to plant the trees, here are my suggestions, in order:

1. All golf courses.
2. Twickenham Stadium.

— JC (@jmsclee) November 28, 2019

Tbf they did warn us that the environment would be 'hostile'.

Sackable offence, pom.

Pom that’s fucking awful, get that bastard disciplined

Yes that Eric Joyce...now shacked up with India Knight

Gone a bit suzy there. What intelligent, modern woman isn't attracted to a violent drunk not afraid to beat up schoolboys?

Labour polling 16% in Scotland, Tories on 26%.

That’s the yoon vote, right?

*nervous, halting laugh*

They also reheat a discredited claim that Labour’s policy on free movement would lead to 840,000 migrants coming to the UK each year.

god the BBC will be all over this

The Conservative & Unionist Party. Drop the Conservative bit and they might do even better.

oh no wait

Labour's tree planting policy (with mathematical support from @BBCFrediani):
Labour wants to plant 2 billion trees by 2040.
That is, roughly...
* 100 million/yr
* Or 8.3 million a month
* 2 million a week
* 300,000 a day
*12,400 an hour, every hr, 24hrs/day
* 200 a minute #GE2019
