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

shouldn't that be oh good? boris will have to be nice to him and his approval rating is even low with tories and the NHS of course!

Trump is bound to say something stupid too.

🤞🏻 Labour will be after Trump saying the NHS is on the table and Trump endorsing Boris/attacking Corbyn. If I were them, I’d be hammering the message that Boris is too much of a coward to attend debates/interviews, so why would he stick up for the country in trade negotiations?

Boris is a top-notch deal maker.

jack merritt (the first named victim of the london bridge attack) seems like he was a real one. rest in power

I wish when Boris pats himself in the back for his time as London Mayor, i.e. sitting on his arse and taking the credit for other people's ideas and hard work for 8 years, that some of his own bright ideas were thrown back in his face.

give us a chip jez

Thank God Lewis Goodall bothers turning up to work, tbh (thread)

Ian Acheson, a former counter terrorism officer wrote a report in 2016 saying the parole system wasn’t coping with terrorists. Michael Gove, then Justice Sec, accepted all but one of the 69 recommendations. But when the report was published, under Liz Truss, only 12 remained.

Loool bang on point

"Islam, blood and grievance"

John only knows about two of those things.

LibDems are perhaps working on the logic that lying more often than tories will allow them to peel off some of their voters

look at Corbyn scoffing those chips cooked in beef dripping - how can you can trust a fake vegan with national security?

don’t think he’s vegan but the dripping thing possibly didn’t even cross his mind, that or maybe he just doesn’t gaf. me and my son rode our bikes from brighton to whitby in the summer and as soon as we got to yorkshire we totally had to bin our convenience-oriented high-carb chip-based nutrition plan, whole place is awash with secret lard

thought the fish and chips were better in saltburn tbf but whitby’s still p good

Some of these northern chippies are not used to folk saying "er.. excuse me could you tell me what do you cook your chips with please?" you might get slapped in the face with a haddock!

probably cause much more offence than ordering 3 portions of bits when they tell you they are free.

Arrrrgggh this televised debate, god help me I’m ready to set about farage with s haddock myself

First Jonathan Bartley peddles Islamophobic narratives by calling for a ban on specifically halal meat. Now Siân Berry is calling for community infiltration - proven to disproportionately impact Muslims. The Greens coming out full force in their contempt towards Muslims.

jesus wept

not watching - hearing burgon handling himself well enough?

not watching it myself, just reading other people's responses to it.

have you got a link to the story calz? xps

Burgon is okay but seemed vulnerable on trident, farage is a revolting cunt of a man, audience really don’t like trump and not giving out much warmth when johnsons character is discussed either

I thought it was Maliha's response to something she has just said during the televised debate about police infiltration of Asian communities?

I'm not watching this shite, but she's normally a reliable poster.

Totally missed that then, must’ve been a very fleeting reference, but will admit that I’m not really tuned in to that particular issue

Burgon taking a few hits towards the end, especially over labours failure to improve health and social care provision in wales (he smirked in a particularly oily way when the PC guy put that to him)

I feel so much happier for not watching a second of this!

PC guy got a glove on RLB the other night on the same point. you'd think the handlers would have coached burgon on a line

turning into a sentimental old bastard - every time I've seen that poor cameron kid (from the dispatches thing) on the tl today has me near welling up

^ Smirky burgon

so many malnourished looking poor as fuck kids about these days, it's a fucking disgrace.

Lmao Rishi got handshake denied by Farage at the end. There’s probably a think piece in that.

neale hanvey episode in kirkcaldy could get ugly if SNP high heid yins don't get the situation under control e.g.

Adam Price knows damned well that Wales’ budget is set by the Tories, and although Labour have control of how it is spent there, the austerity is not their fault.

Nigel Farage never mer a woman on a panel he didn’t interrupt. Would have loved if Sturgeon had done some ultra-Scots form of STFU on him.

Jo Swinson appears to be 'Marmite candidate' in her East Dunbartonshire seat - if no one loved Marmite
https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/jo-swinson-branded-charlatan-constituents-20992316

Rishi Sunak is about two foot tall, appropriate as he's like some irksomely unctuous schoolboy (as opposed to girly) swot - in fact he's a sort of clone of Matt Hancock.

Another sore point has been Swinson’s enthusiastic affirmative when asked on TV whether she would press the nuclear button if she was PM.

Her unwavering response has gone down like radiation sickness in an area well within the fallout of any potential accident or attack at the Faslane nuclear base housing the £200billion deadweight of Trident .

Her casual regard for mass murder put the tin hat on any a celebrity endorsement from local girl and singer Amy MacDonald .

She tweeted: “Swinson has been my MP for pretty much my entire voting life. She has been a charlatan the entire time.

“It took her one second to say that she’d happily drop nuclear weapons. Imagine voting for her.”

no matter how bad things get in the next couple of weeks I'll always treasure the memories of Swinson's idiotic hubris and then the unfolding complete death of her political career in GE'19.

if MI5 have offed the queen to get this GE suspended I'm not going to be happy

I just got asked who I would vote for by YouGov. This makes a change: normally they only ask me about things I know nothing about (like self-service coffee machines or financial services or TV programmes I've never seen).

Are we really gonna be doing Sombre Tie Watch for the next 24 hours?

**** Humongous Labour Policy just announced ****

• Labour will CUT RAIL FARES by 33% from this January
• This will save average commuters £1,096 a year
• Labour will introduce free rail for those under 16
• Labour will introduce a fair fare scheme for our part time workers pic.twitter.com/bdDMZiBDzH

They were getting criticism from environmental NGOs yesterday for not having any sort of plan for reducing carbon emissions from transport so that is a step in the right direction from that POV, albeit a fairly tiny one. Great policy overall though, but again they’re going to be pressed on how they’re going to fund it

Fare cuts under public ownership seem plausible. Fare cuts starting in Jan 2020 looks ambitious, to say the least.

btw is it normal strategy that these policies get dribbled out day by day (i guess to keep the vibes going)? because it can sometimes feel like they’re making it up on the hoof
