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

This is an important point.

If you look at the cross-breaks in the polls, Labour ARE doing badly with older leave voters.

But they're only doing very marginally worse than in 2017. It would only take a small shift in the Leave vote to Lab to be exactly at 2017 levels.

Seeing a lot takes saying ‘not looking good for labour in midlands and bits of north’ which may or may not be true. Important to say that even when Labour won a 10% increase in voter share in 2017 these places swung towards...the Tories.

It’s not new.

that guy does my head in. Going by how wrong he usually is on everything - I'd prefer it if he was predicting a 80+ Tory majority.

i might need to go to bed, I've spent twenty minutes on ian duncan smith's facebook page looking at pictures of tory canvassers, absolutely hypnotised by the contrast between gently smiling faces and the absolute spiralling vacuum where souls should be.

the bazza g-man!

Sources say that IDS had a member of staff kill and post this rat to his own office so he could post it on twitter. All part of his continued attempts to paint the opponent as thuggish. And who can blame him? They are! https://t.co/51GT2mIEsd

Get back to us when these nasty Trots murder 130,000 paupers and disableds and we can talk about brutality you perma-bullshitting spouse-sponging CV-faking wanker

Got a cupasoup in bed :)

why does he keep saying the nhs claims are “bermuda triangle stuff”? who does that focus group well with? 40-55 year olds?

There are just six days left to save MI5.

Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott has supported abolishing it.

"Jacques Derrida RIP"

Apologies to Kelly Tolhurst for saying she has done no campaigning, I can see today she has put up one (1) poster and weirdly painted half a wall blue in honour of senpai’s aborted visit.

The complacency and lack of accountability (she is genuinely never here) won’t matter this election but might in five or ten years as more people move out of London, public services decline further (the NHS is by far the biggest employer) and everything gets progressively worse. I can understand why Labour have barely campaigned either (with the strange exception of a Thornberry / Sandy Toksvig double-act) but there are going to be lots of similar places up for grabs next time around.

when the going gets tough it's time to dig the old spirograph out

In the interests of balance, let’s have a tangled web of Johnson’s links to Bannon, Orban, Atlantic Bridge, various Russians who’ve paid £160k to play tennis with him - you get the drift!

isn't there a report about that waiting to be leaked

Are we expecting the suppressed Russia report will be leaked closer to the election?

No.

i'm sure Laura will explain how there's nothing in it that we don't already know and anyway it's not true

No - and the whole reason Tories are being all ‘Russians leaked to Reddit’ is to undermine the next few days of 10am press conferences where Corbyn shows some receipts.

As though Russia wouldn't prefer a Johnson-led hard Brexit.

Not too happy that we've ended up going down the piss tape route tbh - always waiting for that bombshell to drop that will conclusively swing the election, that bombshell which never comes.

which if it came would barely alter the support because the support is based on happily accepting/ignoring that the lad you're voting for is a monster

Celebrating trolldom, more like.

as long as the snowflakes are crushed who gives a fuck who's doing the crushing?

Unless said snowflake is you, which simply cannot compute to begin with.

No - and the whole reason Tories are being all ‘Russians leaked to Reddit’ is to undermine the next few days of 10am press conferences where Corbyn shows some receipts.

very unclear that reddit's "evidence" here is any more than ben nimmo and the atlantic council's unsourced say-so -- this isn't independent confirmation of the claim, it's reddit passing the buck to save themselves intrusive spook grief down the line

Also, this is not 'disinformation', the documents are genuine and had been on Reddit for weeks.

Sure to both of you. I’m just saying “this was leaked by gru” is not an untenable position to take in good faith.

I'm sure the Tories will leave it at "this was leaked by Russia".

I can recall some mentions of Reddit and Salisbury in a famous hit song by those visionary phrophets Chas & Dave

there ain't no pleasing gru

LOL
