lmao

Has he thrown the TV licence thing out there to distract the BBC's attention from the phone in the pocket thing?

Corbyn has run the most hate-driven, xenophobic electoral campaign we've seen by a major party in UK politics since probably the 1920s. It's important for our political integrity that we prove the politics of hate does not win. And yes, Corbynites, Anti-Americanism is xenophobia.

been an absence of Lolico on this thread for a while, thought this was a cracking post!

lolico also left this belter of a comment on joe pike's boris interview clip, he's having an extremely normal on online today

Good on him. This kind of "gotcha" journalism is pathetic.

Thrillingly Johnson has had an absolute stinker, ran the worst campaign i've ever seen or heard of in my lifetime with absolutely not one thing going his way. It must be weird having self-groomed for the role for 5 decades only to have people collectively wake up to the fact that you're nothing but a posh fucking crook.

And yet this shit show could get a landslide!

Suspect this is meant to keep the BBC compliant for the last crucial days of the campaign, rather than being a statement of political intent. https://t.co/At06a7lAiL

love to do the "right thing" and vote Lib Dem

That quote in any sane universe would be him done

The size of the crowd waiting for Jeremy Corbyn in Bristol right now is incredible. I hope they show this on the TV news bulletins. Please share it. #VoteLabour #GE2019 pic.twitter.com/RkX8k9ApoA

the size of that turnout in Bristol!

get a job u bums

well according to an old woman I was talking to Corbyn only has the interests of "those that don't work" at heart!

old woman otm, a better world is not possible, everyone needs to work until they drop dead

xp Pretty sure my hair made it into that video around the 0:08 mark lol.

I missed Corbyn unfortunately, he was supposed to be on at 2PM but didn't make it until about 2:45pm and I had to leg it back to work way before then. Good vibes for what I saw, and a wide range of ages - the location was a few hundred metres away from Bristol College so there were easily hundreds of teenagers and students in the crowd. There was a group of about 25 anti-Corbyn protestors with a megaphone but they were kept away and drowned out by soundsystem playing motown classics.

Uplifting lunch break, would recommend.

Apparently the melts are starting to turn on Rob Delaney for giving a shit about the NHS now.

Hancock can't "sort this out" as thanks to the Health and Social Care Act the running of it is entirely devolved to NHS England - why subsequent secretaries of state have had so many projects outside of core NHS roles, like MH's own work on digital. It's just a photo opp. https://t.co/DVwshsuP1Z

S Bush otm

melts can fuck right off, rob delaney otm

Why? WHY is he going there? A 4 yr old boy with pneumonia lying on a cold floor is exactly how an NHS run by Tories is supposed to work. Any Leeds General docs or nurses want to explain why Hancock & Johnson should fuck extravagantly off into the sun? https://t.co/qr5FUb2Bff

Easy to argue that Johnson's campaign has been at the least no better than May's but that he's been given an easier ride by the media for various reasons

kuenssberg reporting that someone punched a tory? one of hancock's advisers?

let's hope they don't need to go to a&e

Hope they brought some coats with them.

i hope this despicable act of anti-tory violence receives the same level of media coverage as the 70-year-old labour supporter whose ribs were broken and the 72-year-old whose jaw was broken while out campaigning

really irresponsible reporting from LK

she didn’t see it she was just told it - she’s regurgitating sources again (into a climate where various LAB activists have already been physically attacked)

she has also not retweeted the video of the top political story of the day to her 1.1M followers. craven

'a relatively flat campaign' eh

Not entirely clear what happened, but Tories suggesting Labour campaigners offered to pay cabs for activists to go and heckle Hancock - fair to say today not panning out as anyone had expected in what has been a relatively flat campaign

— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) December 9, 2019

what are labour campaigners suggesting, i wonder

we may never know

Minister Heckled & Doctor Jibes

vg+

she has deleted it. idiot

JOURNALISM

The story never had the ring of truth, I mean, why punch one of Matt Hancock's advisers when Matt Hancock is right there.

N Eardly just described it as a non-story (accidental collision and (sadly) he says no punches were thrown), get A Joshua on the campaign trail to school them on how to punch tories ffs!

Andy McDonald was just very impressive on PM

they are r a t t l e d and I love it

The BBC have reported that 100 Labour Activists were ferried in a taxi to this very scene and this very moment & punched a Tory Staffer in the face.

Here is the video footage so you can judge how accurate the BBC report was. pic.twitter.com/MS1b0b0qTo

great job british media, you’ve done it again

sure did look like someone got murked up there, x-rated heckling delivered with middle class accents is no laughing matter.

@PaulBrandITV
Labour sources say it is untrue that people were paid to go to Leeds General Infirmary. But the Conservatives are circulating messages which appear to show a group of activists organising the protest via WhatsApp.

Damn, got us with the old 'Labour activist leaks Whats App messages to the enemy' again

god these momentum monsters, organising a protest using a form of communication designed to facilitate group conversations, is there no low to which they will not stoop
