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

Bad take considering the BES found that not owning a car was the single biggest predictor of voting Labour in 2017.

diverting funding from cars to trains is good
diverting funding from cars to trains is probably not a net votewinner
diverting funding from cars to trains and using that funding to subsidise fares rather than infrastructure is not as good as it could be

3% to hung parliament

― plax (ico), Monday, 2 December 2019 bookmarkflaglink

Tory vote locked. As long as the ground game can fight enough of the Lib Dem disinformation and the young vote goes up from ~60 to hopefully another 10% then we might still get a hung parliament.

Think two interesting things that may impact the polls in terms of turnout - Johnson’s response to David Merritt, which I am not sure will play well with some voters, and Trump. Don’t rule out people just staying at home as well.

Or old racists dying of flu in a winter crisis #beKindOffline

But yes not discounting something utterly absurd happening during Trump's visit that cuts through. Small possibility tho'

Ken Livingstone decided to hold up our train because he purposely stuck his foot in when the door was blatantly closing. Now I’m going to be late for work 🙂 pic.twitter.com/hkHzqy97nF

“He’s always pictured in suits that are a bit big for him. David Cameron told him to get a proper suit and that was the day that I decided to make it.”

Mr Khan said he guessed Corbyn's size from pictures and the suit, which retails at £850, took five months to make.

Mr Corbyn even offered to share his chips with photographers while out and about in Whitby.

That this cunt will talk like he knows anything on Dec 13th is regrettable but at least we will lol die

got a sudden urge to shave for the first time in a month

that fucking cunt actually gave me a sudden craving for booze, not gonna let him get to me

We might all die lol.. but this fucking idiot seems to think we need to... then will be a political landscape (fertilised by our ashes) ripe for transformative politics... it's always next time with these posturing commentatriat melt twats when Labour have gone too far left for them.

real rush of rage/despair/spite there, kudos John Harris you useless entitled fucking cunt

gonna do some more deep breaths

I keep getting short periods of excitable positivity followed by prolonged bouts of fear and despair. Fucking hate elections these days. So much at stake my guts start churning when I think of 5 more years of these cunts:(

poor john harris, he started out looking like rodney but now he's slowly morphing into uncle albert

xp

yeah i feel you. there's still enough to be tentatively positive i think, but sometimes you remember that the exploiters and their feeble apologists will always be with us, smuggly scumsplaining away, and it's just too much.

If what we are facing is a deepening estrangement between progressive politics and the people and places it once spoke to as a matter of instinct, even more difficult arguments rear their heads. If you see a certain kind of old, white, working-class man and think that progressive politics ought to have nothing to do with him, you should maybe understand that your opinion is an indication of huge political failure.

jfc. Not gonna do a line-by-line riposte here but every syllable of this wrong, 'bizarro world'-style. It's almost an accomplishment to be this wrong.

log the fuck off Hodges, you absolute stain.

saw a good simonk_133 thread earlier on 2017 focus groups which were pushing a similar message to J harris about the labour heartlands that time round

I hate it when shit politicians rep for good music people you like. Alan Johnson talking about John Grant made me throw the radio out the window.

Tom Watson being a fan of John Martyn nearly made me give up hope

xp I don't think I want to find out what Johnson's last.fm alias is

Hans Werner Henze apparently composed a piece for Boris' first wedding

55-64: 79% (+7)

ffs these arseholes are the ones ushering the Tories in.

Generation melt

*waves at the thread from my age group*

dog Latin/LJ complicate this age divide btw

I imagine that as the age-group who are most likely to say they don't gaf about politics and they are all the same etc.. and then vote Conservative like clockwork, even if it is 4 foot snowdrifts and they have severe angina and arthritis.

But yes been lots going on the train today. On my way back an actual young person was talking on the phone about the election before having a go at rugby boys.

Dog Latin and I might be two brackets apart lol (if he's turned 45)

Fiona 'buh-bye' Bruce unable to read out the word 'nationalize' from her autocue without feigning scare quotes of disgust.

Also I've already confirmed myself as a certain Labour voter and enthusiast, give over

Or are you just commuting and looking for a scrap? I do sympathise

I do kind of wonder if DL managed to overcome his issues w/ Cromwell and will vote Labour in the end?

are you two voting labour yet or nah
