Before voting reg was up would have been nice. Still v cool tho!

lol when i did a reading from my book and my niece (then 11) was in the audience, mostly bored, the point she pricked her ears up was when i read out the magic words "dua lipa"

glad to see she is still good not bad :)

Nice package on Newsnight about the ups and downs of canvassing with a message from yr boy SBush about the different a 2% swing either way could make.

and Eleanor Penny! she calls it an election of hope.

This is as desperate as the Czech spy story - posting on Reddit is now a distinctly Russian tactic apparently pic.twitter.com/23ZWzZh3P9

This is as ludicrous as it was inevitable.

seems dumb when the govt suppressed the russia report. rattled

It’ll be Russian interference when Trump fucks it for them this week too, will it?

what’s their internal polling saying I wonder

anyone worried about this spike in fb ads?

It’ll be Russian interference when Trump fucks it for them this week too, will it?

well, kinda, yeah

they've definitely got the shitters running down their jitters atm.

^^

I'm badly misquoting a line from Jean Genet's The Screens there, one that made me lol about 20 years ago!

Not checkin in (here or elsewhere) too much cause have both mental health and objective external issues going on, are things going better at all? Always assumed labour would run much the better election campaign but fuck be nice if we cd maybe start a campaign fewer that 50 percentage points behind lol

A tentative "it could be much worse" is all I can manage rn BB

Wd like to welccome the us prseident to our shores btw and encourage him to not hold back if he has anything to get off his chest with regard to our current political situation lol

let's not get too carried away with all the old bastard polling, plenty of these young 'uns need liquidating just as urgently

Far be it from me to trade in stereotypes but I'm guessing from those lads's accents that they don't really give much of a fuck about public services.

I mean tbf they're not doing much of a job of acting like they give a fuck about anything bar grinding the poor and getting a career in dickery

what did the lass who got cut off mid-sentence say? "I want us to get brexit done and invest in our fully costed T4 aktion/eugenics program and then kill all poor ppl and blacks"

I mean I couldn't watch every second of it I've only just recovered from John Harris

as if R4 today is broadcasting from the wrong side of a picket

love too be politically impartial

can't believe Kezia would cross a picket

This Merritt story doesn't look like it's going away any time soon. 'Don't fuck with grieving parents' feels like a pretty straightforward rule even outside an election campaign and they've done it twice this month.

I like Calzino's Shakespearean quotation - from one of my favourite scenes from any of the plays.

I had to look up who Dua Lipa is last night. I think Wikipedia says that she is an English singer and model.

not going for old git cred here, but same!

So I showed in Tribune how Raab had proposed a 2/3rds privately run NHS last month . This month Radio 4 Today put the question to Raab - really shows how we need an independent/left media to , at the least, push the mainstream https://t.co/4hxpJgCkdd https://t.co/ktdj08PzdQ pic.twitter.com/x4KANcQYRG

Good to see Britannia Unchained finally get thrown at him.

Lol, imagine this happening:

I hear Jo Swinson is considering resigning BEFORE THE ELECTION after what senior Lib Dem sources are saying has been ‘a worse campaign than Theresa May’s in 2017’

One senior source said: ‘with this government and opposition we should be getting over a hundred seats’

— Max Gapes (@maximiliangapes) December 3, 2019

whatever one might think of Swindon, the idea that the Lib Dems should be "getting over a hundred seats" is just bizarre

The Lib Dems - working to ensure a strong Conservative government.

Jokes aside:

Sat in a pub near the City of London hearing five suits having shit banter about free broadband, ‘comrade Corbynski’ (in a Russian accent) and shooting striking railway workers, can’t emphasise quite how much I want these people to be defeated and soon

(Btw, that was a joke. Sorry I know twitter)

Trump keeping out of it...so far...

Au contraire

We have absolutely nothing to do with it and we wouldn’t want to if you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it.

I'm sure he'll have at least one press conference while he's here.

"I have no thoughts on it. It’s going to be a very important election for this great country, but I have no thoughts on it."

50 minute Q&A mostly consisting of lines like that

Need someone from Labour to say something to rattle him, shouldn't be difficult.

Question: I guess what we're hoping for these days is a Labour minority government, but if that happens, what're the chances they'll actually be able to push any of their measures through? Are we counting on LibDems showing their usual lack of integrity when the chips are down?

hoping for labour majority gov my good man

As it stands, we are a normal-sized polling error – that is to say, if either or both of the parties are being systematically under- or overestimated by three percentage points – from either a Labour minority government or a Conservative landslide.

cheers Mr Bush, you've cheered me up loads there pal.

Labour minority with Swinson as deputy PM could happen

Need someone from Labour to say something to rattle him, shouldn't be difficult.

Exactly!

Hahahaha yes Sadiq, our titchy king!

Trump on the NHS:

No, not at all, I have nothing to do with it. Never even thought about it, honestly ...

I don’t even know where that rumour started. We have absolutely nothing to do with it and we wouldn’t want to if you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it.

Oh ok.

Tories will probably be the largest party but not over the line.

Lab/SNP coalition is the best that I feel is possible but it will be supply and confidence. Enough for a 2nd ref and hopefully a break on killing ppl. Labour will not get anywhere near what it wants to implement from the manifesto but with a good left-wing government in place we can keep fighting and showing ppl what it is capable of.
