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

I meant Labour there, just brain melting at moment.

A Bible given to every school child from the Education Secretary, inscribed as such.

ok i got that wrong

It has also been dismissed as a vanity project because the Bibles are marked "presented by the secretary of state for education".

And yet we still get Scott Morrison.

a functional media would also be a good thing to have, yes

I remember someone from the gideon society coming to visit us in primary school to tell us how a hotel bible had 'saved' him and we were all just like "you'd never read the bible before? omg you're lucky, we get the bible shoved down our throats all the time."

i think importantly and iirr it has an introduction from

GOVE.

gove thy neighbour as thyself

By Gove.

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy Gove is better than wine.

meanwhile on scotpol twitter wings having another normal one as an SNP apparatchik resigns for making anti-semitic social media posts

So three hours ago Wings posted he was signing off twitter...

He then referenced the "final solution" as equivalent to people resigning from the SNP, compared Israel directly to the Nazis charged at Nuremberg, and pitched that the Nazis should have been better at fighting Russia pic.twitter.com/6KiO94q4d8

:D

Just got sent a lib dem dodgy bar chart in the post. It tantalises that the lib Dems could clinch this seat (Emily Thornberry's) by 1% (with a 20% swing). Absolute fucking nonsense, hard to know whether to be insulted at the presumption of my intelligence or frightened that I live in such a fucking shameless mess of disinformation. No mention of Joan Swanson on the flyer btw.

Also appalled to be on the lib Dem mailing list

I think the only campaign literature I've seen so far has been from the Lib Dems.

No idea what was in it, straight in the bin.

My partner got a begging letter from CCHQ yesterday with boris imploring she use her postal vote to give the tories a working majority "because that is the only way stuff get's done". I presume that was meant to arrive before the postal vote did or with it, because that ship has already sailed.

Joan Swanson!

Are they even registered to vote though?

That question probably wasn't asked however I've seen a tweet saying hostels and shelters go on a voter registration drive

There is no chance the BBC will call out the coward BJ for doing this ridiculous dodging is there? "Ongoing negotiations" my arse.

Got Tory, Labour and a strange independent candidate.

Just about to post my ballot. Commonwealth ftw.

Bon courage, indeed!

A friend who lives in Salisbury received these, the clear choice

yeah there's more substance there than the Tory manifesto

I get all pedantic about the ahistoricity of druidism tbh

stephen bush thinks the tories’ private polling must be bad

... because they’re starting to make incoherent promises

Where is he saying this? Hope he’s right. Feeling very down today.

What is this private polling we always hear about and why is it better than regular polling? Honest question, sorry if it's a stupid one.

it’s in his morning call email. you have to subscribe but it goes on their website eventually

it did strike me yesterday that them making uncosted random policy announcements this late in the game... was not a good sign for them. if they’re engaging, they’re losing I think

I assume private polling is their canvass returns

I keep reading conflicting opinions on the LibDem campaign flop. Some saying it's good for the Tories who won't get squeezed as hard in marginals. Some that it's bad for Tories because it means Labour are succeeding in winning the remain vote they were hoping would split. Probably a bit of both, varying from region to region. But I still think LibDems might perform better than the polling suggests. I mean who the fuck would want to own up to voting for them at this stage?

things could pick up for the lib dems again, think they call it dead squirrel bounce

they’re not appealing to remainers or people who renounce austerity

their only hope is to pick up tories with a guilty conscience. if the polling numbers stay quite wide on polling eve, socially liberal tories may plump for them in the south. if polling narrows significantly further, the prospect of letting JC in via the back door may focus minds

letting JC in via the back door

If Conservatives are able to form a sizeable majority, ensuring Brexit they could still keep power with lots of enhanced executive powers as detailed here.

We took a closer look at p48 of the Tory manifesto...@maitlis: Is this a shifting away from a legal framework, to a political framework?@LordCFalconer: It is... so if Mr Johnson becomes PM again, he won't be restrained by the courts from acting unlawfully#Newsnight | #GE19 pic.twitter.com/1eBajuc3Pq

Plus boundary changes and voter suppression.

Meaning there would be only one way left to get them out :)

irl lol @ yolo mogannwg

I’m raging about that maitlis tweet. they’ve had the manifesto for TEN DAYS. left twitter picked up on that provision within hours. david schneider and iannuci has big numbers viral tweets about. meanwhile maitlis (one of the country’s most esteemed journalists) was on newsnight last night wobbling her head like “this is potentially massive no ?”

that was just before she went on a massively unseemly transphobic line with sarah wollaston

― calzino,

The 'Shy Tory' voter of lore has almost entirely been supplanted by the "Lifelong Labour voter who will be voting Conservative for the first time, and will be appearing on multiple videos on different channels to talk about it"

Voting Liberal Democrat is largely an exercise in identity politics for people with too much never to be used stationery. They will own up to it alright.

One group that doesn't get much coverage is the Shy Labour voter

Rumour has it that they may be busy and not roaming the streets looking for a roving pack of bell ends with microphones, but I can't be totally sure

lol we're all gonna die

"Do you think Britain should now leave the European Union, or remain a member of the European Union?"

51% ~ Leave
49% ~ Remain
