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

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.

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

Cummings has already been floating the "referendum between Remain and Remain" line and expect that to get hammered if Labour squeak through.

Love how they cut a few BBC journos to saying positive things about Labour

Johnson just apologized for his 'letterbox' comments on ITV. It's safe to vote for the Tories now, they're no longer an inherently racist party!

he also said this:

Q: You also branded single mothers as irresponsible, and working-class men as feckless, in an article in 1995?

Johnson says this is not the time to talk about any offence given by an article written a long time ago.

guys let's not focus on this article i wrote years ago which was then and remains now an accurate account of my views

xps to anvil

I didn't make it clear. I meant remain Tory voters who might either not turn up or decide to vote LibDem on the big day but aren't shouting about it rn.

Complete cunt.

Surprised by some of the responses to this: tweeters have replied to the slogan in the photo, as if posting it means I'm in favour of "more Bloody Sundays" https://t.co/NMNzM6fv2V

He's the democratically elected PM, you see, and therefore deserves our respect.

at least boris found a house-trained lapdog that won't piss on his rug

Jack Russells are angry piss machines, maybe Dilyn the Rescue Dog is a secret Lib Dem mole.

I've been thinking about recently too, people not willing to admit voting for an anti-Semitic Marxist who eats cold beans straight from the tin.

Johnson just apologized for his 'letterbox' comments on ITV

Not quite, he pulled the apologizing for any offence caused trick - but that's OK because the GBP are dumbasses:

Also he said the misogyny stuff wasn’t valid *as if he gets to determine what valid questions are* and I am just hoping that the Guardian publishes a transcript of the whole Camberwell tape or one of the hundreds of editors and journalists aware of the wife-beating thing says something. These fucking people....
