I love how the tweet embed thing here saves those deleted tweets


This came up a while back on twitter when someone googling found this thread as the only source of a deleted tweet...

Big John looking chill on Peston while Peston interrupts everyone constantly. Tories decided to send John Whittingdale ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Extremely critical support for comrade Oborne

The media makes little of this. The denunciation of Jeremy Corbyn by Ian Austin, a Labour politician of negligible importance who had already left the party, got far more coverage than the cry of despair from a former Tory prime minister.

Watching boris at his final campaign rally, should be used to it by now but god what a boring fucker he is

Being a boring fucker is deliberate, it's just an act.

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Among figures who were more visible than might have been expected – though still with just 1.6% and 0.9% respectively – were Ian Austin and John Woodcock, the former Labour MPs who are backing Boris Johnson, who were the joint 11th and 16th most prominent figure in media coverage. The former prime minister Tony Blair was the 24th most prominent, well ahead of frontline senior politicians and his fellow former prime ministers.


like no offence but I’m fairly good at recognising backbenchers by sight but I couldn’t place this lad when he was made Brexit Secretary. His name recognition must be close to zero.
While Barclay has stumbled over the details of the deal in the past, his northern roots and credentials as an MP who previously had a “real job” might otherwise have marked him out as a campaign asset.

I know I joke around a lot about Rangers being almost literally the most important thing in these people's lives but Rangers is almost literally the most important thing in these people's lives.

Dear Other Form User

Thank you for contacting us.

As the BBC’s Political Editor, a significant part of Laura Kuenssberg’s role is to keep our audience up to date with political events and stories as they happen. A key tool for doing this is social media, which allows her to report on breaking stories quickly. As is common journalistic practice, Laura often gains information from off the record sources, as was the case in this instance.

Once the video footage of this incident was available, Laura shared it on her Twitter so that people could see for themselves what had actually happened. She also reflected the Labour Party’s response to this story. Once it became apparent that the information she had been briefed was inaccurate, Laura deleted the initial tweet, clarified what had happened and apologised, as you can see below:

thinking: what if Odeo was a web-based media player?

When my friend told me the livery for the Larkhall branch of Subway had to be black instead of green otherwise some marching season creeps might firebomb it, I boggled.

there's plenty of orangies that vote labour in the west of scotland, has been the case my whole life, them reverting back to conservatism due to the SNP and brexit is a bit of a new development

#FBPIRA (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 21:53 (six years ago)

They're reverting back to Unionism rather than Conservatism, to be pedantic about it.

it is wild, people in Larkhall refuse to use their green wheelie bins - this isn't like a joke exaggeration, they get set on fire

thinking back to 2015 now. my wife was six months pregnant and had a terrible migraine. we were in the middle of moving cross country from new york to california and all our stuff was on a lorry somewhere so i was in an empty room except for an airbed and some takeaway containers. the exit poll was announced and i immediately went round the corner and bought a bottle of prosecco and four cans of stella (from the lol craft beer section) and drank them while shouting at my laptop until 8am UK time. great days.

Another example is the railings of the local park. In the 1990s, the council painted them municipal green, an act which proved unpopular. In 2001, a resident painted a stretch red, white and blue, and, with the support of Karen Gillon, the local Labour MSP, the Queen's colours were retained.

Mr Corbyn concluded with a poem, saying: "My guitar is not for the rich. No, nothing like that. My song is of the ladder we are building to reach the stars."

conrad, Wednesday, 11 December 2019 23:09 (six years ago)

Tom D there is a discussion on the sampling. Again, this is just to confirm that all polls are useless.

The Times getting rinsed for libel damages for defaming Muslims questioning Tory Islamophobia:

Their endorsement of Johnson, which essentially boiled down to ‘if he told you what his actual policies were he wouldn’t get elected but we support him getting a large enough majority to push them through’ is one of the most sinister things I’ve seen recently wrt the direction of travel of the ‘mainstream ‘ right.

We now think that the lead stands somewhere at around *just 6 and a half percent*.

Looking at the figure below, the two main parties are, we think, almost exactly were they were in the polls (which underestimated Labour) the night before the 2017 General election.#GE2019 pic.twitter.com/8UgBvWcVle
