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

Aye, just saw it was the lead on the NOS. That's the same story (and invoice) sent three times over, dominating the news cycle about the GE here for days on end.

There'll be dancing in the streets of Bolsover.

Angela Rayner totally cracking me up on this QT election thing, already killed swinson and farage with her sarcasm

she’s great isn’t she??

WOULD YOU NATIONALISE SAUSAGES

Haha yes wtf

i so wanted rayner to say "no", smile patronizingly and ask where barnett got that one, laura keunssberg's timeline?

Rayner is a force, it's taken a while for people to notice and even the melts who have condescendingly insulted her for years must be slowly realising she is much better at the media bullshit side of the game than any of their gallery of top melts they kept nomming for GNU or insisting would have Labour 20 pts ahead of this shower etc..

I love her.

I can think of no better example of a politician perfectly matched to a ministerial position than Angela Rayner as education secretary and this is possibly the most exciting outcome of a Corbyn government to me personally.

Just so exciting the possibility of a politician that understands that education is not just Oxford/Cambridge/misc.

Can you imagine!

find someone who looks at your enemies the way angela rayner looks at toryboys

I can think of no better example of a politician perfectly matched to a ministerial position than Angela Rayner as education secretary prime minister and this is possibly the most only exciting outcome of a Corbyn Johnson government to me personally.

tbh

but yes think positive, rayner as education sec and leader in waiting

she's very like McD in the driven autodidact mode. It seems ridic to me that there were a couple of occasions a few years ago I had her down as a melt because of complimentary things she said about Blairism!

fkn pump this right into my veins

"tbh" cars burning everywhere would be the best outcome of a Johnson government.

Compare and contrast these London seats with similar ones which weren't (a) constituency polled (b) subject to counter-intuitive "tactical voting" advice & (c) allocated to high profile Lib Dem parachutists. pic.twitter.com/ppUoTniduH

Please rioters, dismantle the cars and recycle responsibly.

Let's burn it all now why fuck around for another 20 waiting for death.

can't watch anything with Emma Barnett, she's even more despicable than S Nolan and that takes some fucking doing.

bold

This never happened.

Invented by the Tories to divert your attention from a child having to lie on a hospital floor; reported by media that didn’t bother to check if it was true.

This is what media bias looks like. pic.twitter.com/LQsBv2jZzB

This is getting good! I’m rooting for you UK

Thank you thank you.

Pearson is just utterly deranged.

Jesus.

we are in the eye of the storm and people are losing their grip

corbyn, gratifyingly, isn't

he’s calm and campaigning as he usually does

that saundrs tweet of course demonstrating the mendacious and futile opportunism of the lib dems, and gyimah's political career will hopefully be utterly destroyed by cravenly handing kensington to his beloved tory party (unless his ostensible voters see sense in the next two days), but...based on the numbers alone, finchley is a lost cause for labour and it might be time to

*receives tap on shoulder*

graaah fuck it vote labour

today has been weirdly energising ngl

Good on Corbz for tweeting that.

https://t.co/Kcm0Yrsna7 also she's done this amazing video where Matt Hancock seems to be trying to hide an erection

Ewwwwwww

i watched this video again today

The mirror is leading with a baby forced to lie on a chair in a+e for six hours

bit more resonant in light of this campaign

The *only* difference is that many journalists believe Corbyn to be an illegitimate candidate for the premiership. Fine to think that privately but shouldn’t cover him differently as a result, I think.

— Stephen Bush (@stephenkb) November 8, 2019

Lots of intelligent comments about the othering of Corbyn if you’re prepared to look around. My feeling is that if they can other him, they’ll have no problem othering is.

"that saundrs tweet of course demonstrating the mendacious and futile opportunism of the lib dems"

It's demonstrating the sheer idiocy of tactical voting that you've been advocating for weeks. Own the wrecking.

Finally someone raises this crucial issue of the clear racist expropriation proposed against Travellers in the Tory manifesto.

Young people are often sneered at in the media, but this person has done ten times more than many journalists just by even mentioning this. https://t.co/Topiwgfn8k

LOL Tories trying to spin the 'incident' outside the hospital as 'unacceptable public disorder'.

... also trying to say there was nothing unusual about Johnson taking a phone off someone and putting it in his pocket!

xp yeah I saw her do this last night as I was washing the dishes and I nearly dropped a plate cos I was shocked that it came up and the way she kept asking. She really stuck at it as well, I was so impressed by her.

Good grief.

Rosena Allin-Khan did this first, and better.
