John Curtice, a politics professor at Strathclyde University, said that if Johnson maintains his 10-point lead in the polls through until Election Day — and that’s a big if — “that should be enough to deliver an overall majority, not necessarily an overwhelming one, but probably enough for him to be able to do what he wants to do on Brexit.”
how is this hapless choad currently up by 10 fucking points

Interesting: John Curtice predicts no overall majority, with the Tories getting kicked out of government and Labour making a pact with the SNP and Lib Dems https://t.co/20cVeQyVDA— Dawn Foster (@DawnHFoster) October 29, 2019

Frothy coffee is mine. It’s art.
Receiving his "frothy coffee" in Pontypridd's Prince's cafe, Owen Smith stopped mid-sentence to express some amusement. "I tell you it is the first time I have ever been given little biscuits and a posh cup in here," Smith said, looking up at the owner David Gamberini, as his order was placed on the table. "Seriously, I would have a mug normally," the MP added, examining the refreshments in front of him.

Apart from losing am worried the turnout will drop again after a few years on the increase. Obv. the Tories are banking on lower turnout. If only the thought of doorknocking didn't fill me with dread.
