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

did... did i just see some old lifelong-labour guy interviewed on bbc news claiming that he was voting libdem this time out because labour ‘wouldn’t get brexit done?’

ffs britain, you really are your own worst enemy

I thought the carrie symonds tape might leak at some point

People wouldn’t care!

did i just see some old lifelong-labour guy interviewed on bbc news claiming that he was voting libdem this time out because labour ‘wouldn’t get brexit done?’

There was an interview a few months ago somewhere with some Lib Dem Leavers in maybe Devon or Cornwall, didn't occur to them there was any contradiction at all until the interviewer pointed it out

Also - friend said he knew some guy that couldn't vote Labour 'Corbyn was a secret leaver'. Which was weird because he wanted to leave. And was therefore going to vote.....Lib Dem instead

oh to have the confidence of the low-information voter

Hoping Johnson's mystery sixth child might wander into camera shot tomorrow, not that it'd make any difference. It'd just be funny.

whatever happened to the tape of the police being called?

Given to the Guardian iirc, so probably with MI5 at the moment.

given all the other pollsters updated their methodologies post-17, I’m expecting the yougov MRP tonight to closely mirror the current average of the polls and continue to show a CON maj

Jesus I didn’t hold on to my sanity till 10 December to suddenly decide to spin out over a fucking YouGov thing, I’m ignoring that shit even if it randomly looks encouraging

just getting the expectation management in for the lads. got to keep those anxiety levels checked

what's the guardian pls

just goes to show how badly swindon's done to lose the graun endorsement to crumlin

not that it matters, but what is the guardian's recent endorsement history in general elections? have they endorsed anyone other than labour in the past 40 years?

they supported the lib dems in 2010

thankfully nothing bad happened as a result

And never apologised for it! Seriously I read those comments for five long years and the readers then were raging about it for each one of them.

i think if the lib dems had done well in this election period and had some momentum (not that kind) that the guardian would absolutely have supported them.

yeah feels like they’re supporting labour under significant duress

Really? I have great difficulty believing that to be true xp

They've not been remotely kind on them/Swinson iirc

observer is basically the LD's house paper

yeah feels like they’re supporting labour under significant duress

the failing new statesman

focaldata MRP has CON majority at 24; rumour yougov has CON majority at 30.

Their first @focaldataHQ MRP predicted a majority of 82 at the start of the campaign.

The latest MRP? A majority of 24.

Nail-bitingly close to a hung parliament, given the number of very tight marginals. As little as a strong Lab ground game in the marginals could = hung parl. https://t.co/bqrQKUawpb

More than the bad NS did

MRP is taken over a week so last few days’ movement & GOTV crucial

This guy’s takes always pretty spot on ftr

literally they're desperate for anything they can get to scare off Lib Dem-Tory waverers. i'm crossing my fingers for the happy medium of 335-340 to gin up tactical voting turnout and make Tory waverers think it's safe to stay home/go LD

75-100 ppl in a cold and fascist rain-drenched Harrow East (and just utterly ridic 150+ in Kensington last night).

Real dark vibes out there: in Harrow, it's ofc close and now tense. In the tube on the way back one canvasser (50-ish Indian woman) told us she was called a Nazi by two big blokes (others helped out) and went onto describe her efforts to talk Hindus around on the Kashimiri issue (fascist aunties in the main are going Tory tbh, this is the effect of Corbyn's anti-imperialism). One in our group (young white woman) got lost but the experienced board runner who is her friend went back with a couple of ppl at the end. You just think the worst but hopefully it was just a mobile that lost power.

Another (white, 50s) is from Camberwell (lol I've met so many from Cambs) and has done the Harrow canvass nearly 20 times. One young woman from Cambridge that might actually go back there for the last couple of days, as she has had reports that all of a sudden it's looking close.

Last night was ok but chaotic at times with the board runner, ended up talking to this enthusiastic young lefty who got quite down on the prospects. Got a 'Dog Latin in five years time' feel so started talking bs about socialism.

You do what you can, and that's true for today, rest on Thursday at 10pm, sleep it it for a few days if it's bad. Carry on trying to be part of the solution xps

YouGov cuts likely Johnson majority to 28

LET'S GET THIS

NEW:

Final YouGov MRP

Projects a Conservative majority of 28 BUT a hung Parliament is now within the margin of error

Seats:

Con 339
Lab 231
SNP 41
Lib Dem 15
BXP 0

YouGov spoke to 105,612 voters Dec 4-10

Keep fighting the good fight. John McDonald tapped me up for another hundred quid last night. I’m sure not as important as GOTV.

It feels very important for the rest of the world that labour wins or gets a strong showing on Thursday. If it helps australian labour grow a fucking backbone that would be a great start.

lol hung parliament within the margin of error

still time for the Brexit party to pull it out of the bag

friendship ended with yougov MRP, red centrist telephone is my new friend

(Where is ogmor to support me on this)

focaldata have the Greens costing Labour the following seats, mainly to the Tories: Colne Valley, MK North, Rother Valley, Stroud, Bedford, Dag & Rainham, Ipswich

Fuck knows what's going with the greens. They have stood down in Harrow East

Yeah Stroud is a disgrace and the windmill botherer is campaigning for the Green candidate there even though she can’t win!

It feels very important for the rest of the world that labour wins or gets a strong showing on Thursday

Totally, obsessively reading this thread from Sydney where we are choking on bushfire smoke while our govt (and pissweak opposition) has canapes with the Murdochs and the coal lobby.

Would dearly love to think there is an alternative to global slide into climate fascism.

If anyone can provide a link to sponsor a campaigner I'd happily shell out.

I thought Greens had stood down in Colne Valley, that one might be wrong.

Not entirely sure if it’s legal for you to do so?

However, when the exit poll came out last time, Rupert Murdoch was angry and had wasted time, effort and money, so here’s hoping for a repeat of that. 🤞🏻🤞🏻Prove it can be done against fuckers like him with his thumb on the scale.

Greens fucked Colne Valley in 2015 too

Ha yep, don't want to be impeached I guess.
