Let’s pause to remember Brendan Cox has a few boundaries issues with women, too. In future we should probably seek comment from Jo’s sister, who stepped up to run the Jo Cox Foundation when he had to stand down.

(xp) No doubt about it, I would have thought. "It worked for Trump, Boris is doing the right thing" according to an unnamed Tory MP (according to a Sky correspondent).

presumably take 6k off each CONS and LAB which would put it solidly in three-way horse territory - could also bring out some personal vote due to her treatment (ie bullying) in recent times. might be right - def must be in play else she wouldn’t be parachuting in

She could get the swing, imo.
A lot of the Tory voters are fairly well-to-do Asians who are likely to be suspicious of Johnson but not likely to flip to Labour. There's a large (20%+) Jewish community that may be receptive to a young Jewish 'campaigner against anti-semitism'. There's also an increasing gentrification which probably serves the LDs well.
― ShariVari, Thursday, 26 September 2019 08:12 (four years ago) link
The responses to this story are from angry voters worried she’ll take votes away from the Tories and let Labour in. Idt it’s fair to say she’s “parachuted” in when she’s got a home in the area and was raised in London, not to put scare quotes around “campaigner against antisemitism”.

She’s from Wembley. I think she’ll take Jewish Tory votes for sure, because they are not Brexity.

She's also now fairly recognisable and popular among the electorate, certainly by CUK standards. Depends on who the other parties put up against her but I wouldn't bet against her getting that swing.

This is truly disturbing.These ads promoting Brexit & Boris Johnson were beamed onto the digital noticeboards of primary schools across the country today, apparently by a private contractor.

Didn't have a chance to listen to this yet, but I am not a single bit surprised. We know the fight for our policies to be interpreted correctly, and then implemented, goes on.

(not restricted to Boris, obv)
In 1922 meeting there was a sombre moment when @PennyMordaunt told MPs she was with @BorisJohnson in 2016 when news came through that Jo Cox had died. She said 'Boris's reaction was so human'. "It was a moving moment in there," one Tory MP says.

Ed Miliband, the former Labour leader, tells the Commons that he never saw David Cameron use the sort of language Boris Johnson did yesterday.He says talking about “surrender” implies we are at war with Europe. But we are not at war with Europe and we are not at war with each other, he says. He says this language is intended to cause division.Some people say this strategy will work. I say this strategy will not work because the British people are better than this.

Sabrina's response was the best to all this. It's long-term work.
Similarly unions are anxious about the 2030 green target and what that would mean for current jobs that don't comply with that target.
This is how Labour is changing.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 26 September 2019 12:16 (four years ago) link
Most Labour supporters are not as liberal as conference on this issue, so it's pretty understandable for the leadership to be, er, cautious. 60% of Labour voters supported the "hostile environment" ffs, even when the question called it that!
