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

In 2017, the Tories held Calder Valley with a majority of 609 votes. The Green party finished on 631.

Today, the Greens stepped aside in the constituency and officially backed Labour’s @JoshFG to bridge that tiny gap.

Solidarity, Calder Valley Greens! https://t.co/MgWfcjeqYU

this Green candidate didn't need some bullshit app to do the right thing in Calder Valley, credit where it is due.

"Will Ye No' Come Back Again?" ;_;

Previously deputy Scottish leader, Carlaw replaced Ruth Davidson after she resigned unexpected in August, partly in protest at Boris Johnson’s premiership, pending a leadership contest next year, but the party’s campaign literature still promotes Davidson prominently.

It sent out election letters to Tory voters signed by Davidson, a keen remain campaigner during the referendum, saying the threat of a second independence vote was a very real one. The A3 election leaflets Tory activists handed out in Perth on Wednesday did not name Carlaw once. Perth and North Perthshire is a key Tory target seat: the SNP’s Pete Wishart retained it with a wafer-thin majority of 21 votes, or 0.04%, over the Tories.

my constituency was somewhat close last time - only 2,267 votes in it. nats v slab so i'll have to decide. yellow shite and tories nowhere near thankfully

got my confirmation of my postal vote emailed to me just now.

glasgow central represent

Was going to say. Quite a choice of candidates in previous years!

I've voted both snp and labour in the constituency (with the person i vote for never winning, i missed the 2015 election out of negligence - didn't register to vote in time)

Labour.

That’s the baggymp endorsement

hackney south was the tenth safest labour seat in 2017 (lab majority nearly 38,000, con second place)

You’re Hackney South? Where does Hackney North start?

The Cuban bar at Angel

i am very close to the top edge!

to the east the edge is glenarm road (which is a continuation of the street i live in)
to the north the edge is goulton road (= one street to the north)
to the west the edge is downs park road, which runs under hackney downs and is one street further to the north than goulton road

further east still it balloons a bit to engulf most of hackney marshes below lea bridge road

I found a map and you are indeed skirting the top edge!

LOL that'll be the Brexitcast with two Scottish contributors.

I keep noticing in these Brit politics threads that a sizeable number of Labour MPs are scared of losing their seats in an election. I can't help thinking they should quit whining, stand with the party, and fight for the platform.

is it sizeable tho -- or is it the same MP anonymously whining to many different outlets

SNP won my seat by 2 votes, Labour got less than 10%, so I guess I'll vote SNP again.

ouch my toes curled up

Chris Mason is even by bbc standards a horrible little establishment toady. I can't believe how angry I've got about him taking over AQ because it was already bad anyway. Also lolled at the brexit-cast producer boasting it is the most popular podcast in the UK. As if four hundred QT watchers saying "wtf is this shite?" counts as fans of the "podcast".

meant to say four hundred thousand, but it is probably about the right figure for brexit-cast

Nicky Morgan stepping down now, Tory MPs are dropping like flies.

no using google

can anyone name a second lib dem policy

grind the poor?

bollox to corbyn

all these moderate Tories resigning to spend more time with their directorships is some real Profiles in Courage shit

Lib Dems also have a "be nice to each other" policy iirc

ummm, probably something to do with the climate

always punch left

no they solved the environment with a plastic bag tax and the extermination of disableds and other social undesirables

Hell of a coup for Al Qaeda to sign him tbf.

Ann Coffey also not standing, that’s 2/5 of Change now.

Make nice noises about climate change policy while pocketing readies from fracking donors?

xxp
he wished! he wouldn't even make the AQ U21s reserve team bench!

i hope the lib dems do fuck all in this election, will be sorely disappointed if we're not even allowed that consolation

Imagine talking shit like you have green policies when yr party leader is in Cuadrilla's pocket, shameful stuff.

...and your previous leader was Mr Shell Oil, fucker-over of Ken Saro-Wiwa.

We're launching the most ambitious and radical campaign for real change our country has ever seen.

Join me and @peoplesmomentum on a call tonight at 8pm to find out how you can get involved.

could've arranged this when the Wolves weren't playing, for shame Mr Crumhorn

Someone tell the Mail he’s doing this instead of watching Arsenal in the Carabou Cup
