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

Neil should invite Corbyn back and he can do his Boris impression for the whole interview

I wish Neil would do to Johnson what he did to Ben Shapiro.

Again tho it should be Mair not Neil

LAB majority c.260

SNP candidate for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, @JNHanvey suspended by party. Hard race between him and Labour’s deputy leader @LesleyLaird, but SNP have pulled all support

having a wee dig into the candidates activities he's an anti-trans cunt who has compared trans women to paedophiles

shame it's ok to be bigoted against some groups but not others

you can now vote for exposed (and now-ejected) antisemites in three seats in scotland (one for each main party)

that's democracy *jazz hands*

mmmmm this line seems familiar

#Corbyn has announced a plan to plant 2 billion trees by 2040. This means planting roughly 100 million trees a year, or 2m a week, or 300k a day, or 12,400 an hour, 24 hours a day. Which = planting 200 trees every minute, around the clock, for 20 years.
Diane Abbott arithmetic.

can't you understand that he's just helping people understand the figure

I guess people like this assume you plant an entire tree or something.

I am available to Skype in on a UK panel show to explain how the job works.

one for comprade alpha

The YouGov MRP.

Terrible news for Labour? No.

Dig a little deeper, and all is not what it seems.

There are numerous trends and data points that indicate that Labour are, in my view, LIKELY to deprive Johnson of a majority.

A thread - with supporting charts/data.

Can a Canadian please talk some sense into these Tories?

dr moderate is chairman alph's real name

Twitter really doesn't help. Shitty dashed off tweet from a producer drives the discourse into the sand and yet same org, with professional production and time, puts out something genuinely interesting and contextual: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/50591261

Feeling bullied rn

Maybe they should apply some editorial standards to their social media use then, particularly when speaking ex cathedra.

They made a big fuss of doing exactly that and just ... aren't.

friendship ended w/BBC now channel 4 is my best friend

These two ice sculptures - which represent the emergency on planet earth - will take the place of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage tonight after they declined our invitation to attend a party leaders' #ClimateDebate

Tune in at 7pm on 4 and here on Twitter: https://t.co/GXl7XiFbgA pic.twitter.com/niPE5MLdGV

Johnson sent his dad along instead, along with Gove, and Channel 4 wouldn’t let them stand it.

Farage is unnecessarily dignified by getting a sculpture tbh

So how many melts will there be on this discussion exactly?

Yeah his face already looks part melted anyway.

BBC political social media use is really terrible, tons of irresponsible stuff or just outright shithousery. They should just autotweet links to articles seeing as they clearly can’t handle it.

Stanley Johnson, father of Boris J, and supportive of tonight’s @Channel4News #Climatedebate asking Michael Gove, “Where’s my damn son tonight?! The planets burning and there’s a chair swinging in the breeze with his damn name on it?!’ (Was noisy, I might have misheard 😉) pic.twitter.com/208ZqFS399

Conservatives are so fucked off with the ice sculpture they’re threatening to “look at” Channel 4’s broadcast license.

let's be fair on the tories now - it's taken them four years of hard work to build zero starter homes out of 200,000 so of course planting more than say three trees is clearly an impossibility

Rang my dad (former president of the Royal Scottish Forestry Society) to ask about these numbers. He was up the hill inspecting trees. Says a decent planter will manage a minimum of 1,000 a day. Makes these figures look reasonable. The more important Q. is, what kind of trees? https://t.co/SPqcg4fVvJ

— Adam Ramsay (@AdamRamsay) November 28, 2019

I love it when shit-talking tories expose their own ignorance

(xxp) They don't like it up 'em.

The ice sculpture thing is great, how many more people will tune in now? And sending his dad ffs...!

Have signed in to watch online now (with some difficulty) so hopefully this is worth it

Siân Berry is dreadful. Think she’s friends with D1tum and a load of terfs as well.

Every Green is terrible except Caroline Lucas afaict.

“Brexit is a climate crime” - wtf

Isn’t one of the SNP’s arguments for being able to go it alone the access to North Sea oil?

Absolutely. IT'S OUR OIL!

it's scotland's oil!

Good answer from Corbyn on food there.

IFS have been criticising both party manifestos and it probably won't be reported widely they have criticised the Tories for not having one serious mention of the rampant childhood poverty they have caused in their manifesto. And that an impending NDB next year represents a far bigger risk than Labour's spending program, which they are also critical of but still concede that it isn't that radical by European standards.

Look how red and twitchy Gove looks

how to be right

Done the homework, champ. You are the chairman of the company that publishes the Spectator. Paid by the Barclay bros. You are not impartial. You bear deep personal responsibility for the mainstreaming of far right rhetoric. Much of the far right supports Boris Johnson. Job done. https://t.co/yY8kCaziGB

Siân Berry is dreadful

she was fine in that debate i thought. corbyn was okay, but i got no sense of urgency from him. swinson was waffling and way out of her depth. welsh guy will always be a hostage to sheep farmers. sturgeon was like hearing sainsbury's talking about how committed they are to the environment

Extremely critical support for Jame Sob

johnson on the run from neil has bubbled up from twitter into the general news - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50592259

labour should probably link it into their main theme by hammering "he can't even face up to andrew neil - how will he say no to trump ?"

Maybe he’ll send his dad instead? We know his brother won’t do it for him.

One-time Boris Johnson voter jamesob will be bad again soon enough

This is really good, can see Lab using yougov data over the next two weeks:

Around 20 seats could be moved out of the Conservative column if less than a third of current LD/Green voters switched to Lab.

Together with the push on Labour Leave voters, the arithmetic of this election could still be significantly altered in the next two weeks. 6/6
