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

every time I visit my family in larkhall I am blown away that the first thing you see when you arrive from my direction is a 10ft tall red hand of Ulster flapping wildly in the horizon

Makes you proud to be Scottish, er, British.

it’s a very special place

The day approaches

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.

A rangers fan I know said that Corbyn going to Celtic would hurt him with loyalist voters?!

I'm glad we have a system where people weigh up competing visions and arguments and come to a decision based on enlightened rationality

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:

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.

bizarre embed there - it is a laura K tweet in the original post

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

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

the picture of the black subway store is the image that comes up when i google larkhall scotland

BP got wrecked there too iirc

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.

And if Parliament had agreed with @ForChange_Now we wouldn’t be having a December election. https://t.co/SjGSaWb6JO

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.

They smash the traffic lights! Mad bams

No idea what that is tbh.

Waiting for Survation to drop their final load any hour now.

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."

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

From Victor Jara's song Manifiesto

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

melt poll

Lol

ban these fucking melt polls ffs!

oof that's a nasty one

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."

kinda love this guy tbh

Less notice this time so NO-ONE gets enough close to it I hope.

brexit party have vanished?

months ago, Dr Max Gammon could have saved them!

As they should. Nasty feeling they might poll decent numbers round here tho, apart from the sitting Labour MP they're the only party who's sent me leaflets and we do have a thick slice of angry gammon in the area.

I'm in a 57% brexit voting area and had a few of their leaflets. YouGov MRP predicts a Labour hold, but I get this feeling a lot them can't be be arsed with brexit party anymore. obv not based on the science of focus groups and polling - just talking to daft cunts on my travels!

sincere good luck uk

we’re gonna fuckin need it

We can do this, stay strong, stockpile ammunition

The Survation poll is fine: it has Labour up by three on the Tories from their poll 4/5 days ago. Direction of travel and all that.

This is a more worrying trend if true (can't remember polling consensus prior to last two)

Just FYI don't be surprised if the Labour is as high as 38 or ..as low as 29.

In 2005 every final poll OVER-estimated labour, then
in 2010 every final poll UNDER-estimated labour,
in 2015 every final poll OVER-estimated labour, and
in 2017 every final poll UNDER-estimated labour
