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

Iirc Gerhard Schroeder in Germany once turned around an election campaign in which he looked, uh, dead in the water by appearing dynamic and effective during bad flooding

where do we think labour will land in their manifesto on the more radical conference policies ? the tories are going to crank the big dial titled RACISM anyway - labour should have the confidence of their convictions on immigration

Politicians and political pundits can sometimes be like generals, fully prepared to fight the last war. It is possible to miss profound changes that are taking place in society. One of those changes has been taking place for some time; the public attitude to immigration. https://t.co/J8vJrAAOoN pic.twitter.com/NQtK3H1Lci

Pidcock defended McLunkey which is fine when you're nailing it on the immigration subject generally as she has been

Corbyn came out in favour of freedom of movement the other day. As for the manifesto, given its done by committee, they will probably water down the conference proposal...but won’t go legitimate concerns. I don’t think Len would have said that if he thought that’s where they were going. They should focus on the benefits - especially social, because nobody has been making that case for a long time and it needs making if there’s to be a 2nd referendum. And it’s the kind of thing that changes minds, unlike positioning immigrants as these net pluses to the economy (“they’re worth more than you!”).

I saw, btw, that the scarf Corbyn’s racist heckler focused on was from a Scottish care charity, and they’re rightfully pissed off about the coverage

Whilst out on the campaign trail, @jeremycorbyn has been wearing a scarf that we gave to him.

Whilst he was explaining what it meant to him today, someone interrupted and took the focus away from Care Experienced people.

plus classy response

Thank you for the scarf and all the work @whocaresscot does to support Care Experienced people. I treasure the scarf you gave me and that's why I brought it with me.

(meanwhile in shrunken defeated cowardly lump who wishes he was anywhere else but here today news, just look at bj's body language lol)

i'm guessing we won't see a repeat of the glimmers of sympathy people felt for Maybot as we watched her logic circuits publicly melt down

At least she had logic circuits. BJ is just an id with bad posture.

I can’t believe David Cameron is out canvassing in marginals! Who thought that was a good idea?!

his posture is visibly worsening (as it has been since the day after the brexit vote)

and i think her logic was much too much rooted in the belief that she could carry off what the posh fuckos all round her had beshitted -- she couldn't peer past their uselessness to see the impossiblity of the task clear

(i mean, she won the election -- just -- and shunted the tory vote up, but the task in hand is destroying the party. it may destroy everything else at the same time… )

What does "destroy everything" mean? Whether the Tories win or Corbyn goes the fight for a better life for all will surely go on.

lol Kate Hoey is voting DUP

Aren't they too moderate for her?

It is interesting that CCHQ put up Brandon Lewis, a Home Office minister, to give interviews this morning defending what is the Conservative party’s overnight attack line against Labour - the claim that average net immigration would rise to 840,000 a year under Jeremy Corbyn – and not his boss, Priti Patel. Patel, the home secretary, is very popular with with rightwing Tories and Brexit party supporters, but she is not one of the cabinet minister most skilled at dealing with forensic questioning.

Nice euphemism for thick as a plank.

uhhhhhhhhh

Actor Eddie Marsan brands Lib Dems a 'political enema' as he attacks Labourhttps://t.co/5wd99DIMHr pic.twitter.com/IiMlN7CcEC

destroy everything = help cause us to miss our chance to defence against the climate-change ending of human culture as we understand it

but yr right, the change is gaia weathering human activity by stamping it out and the microbes will be doing fine all along, so not literally everything -- this isn't the nuclear exchange insanity of the 1980s

The enema within, er, amirite?

Ok lol I don't see this as an election where the planet is fucked if Lab loses. It's only the UK.

(Btw, in my dystopia both the microbes AND the good people of Norway will be fine) xp

announce 👏🏻frances 👏🏻 Barber 👏🏻#FBPE👏🏻

A few other, primarily Western European countries would be slightly more fucked, I suppose, but no, the planet is not quite what's at stake here (thank Christ).

enemas are a healthy thing and v. good for cleaning out all the old shit iirc

lol wait i misread wot ed said

for shame

LIB DEM

Critical support for Bojo on this;

Boris Johnson has sparked outrage after pouring milk in a cup of tea before taking the bag out https://t.co/zJ5768l70v

— Sky News (@SkyNews) November 13, 2019

what a douche xp

Who spoils their tea with milk anyway?

*ducks*

People who leave the bag in the mug are monsters.

apparently I make my tea the tory way. not that I drink tea very often. that's how you know how strong it is!

Enemas: made of waterlogged tubes, unleashing waves of topaz-coloured effluent. Sounds like Lib Dems to me.

Well now wait a sec. You pour milk in then you need to check whether it's the correct shade otherwise you leave it for a bit longer then yes you take it out at some point.

the correct approach is to take the bag out of the box and put it straight in the bin bcz tea did brexit and tastes like garbage in every form

xp exactly

Loose leaf or gtfo imho.

justice for Boris! (not really)

mark otm, tea is shite

i like oolong, that's about it, hate hot drinks with milk in them full stop

Clearly you've never tasted white tea.

I can’t believe David Cameron is out canvassing in marginals! Who thought that was a good idea?!

it's a great idea, he should be out there 24/7 reminding the country what he brought to politics and contributed to the social fabric of the uk

I will admit to actively hating most traditional British teas (sorry).

you wokelord cucksters would have us drinking rainwater and chives, long live the empire (of tea)

Between this and the oven chips, he’s showing up himself as very common/basic bitch for an OE.

Tea prep: pour boiling water into clean mug, wait 30 seconds, discard water. Add tea bag, pour in more boiled water. Wait about a minute before removing bag with spoon. DO NOT SQUEEZE BAG, that’s declassé. Add milk to taste. SO EASY, EVEN A DAMN YANKEE CAN DO IT.

tea is foul and strictly for the olds imo

tbf the best teas i drink are at the house of a chinese client, everything they've served me, whether green/pale or mongolian milk tea has been superlative. there's also a cafe nearby that does a great gen mai cha

I think I basically don't really like tea any more but I drink six cups a day because I've got to do something with my time

Why is jasmine tea so hard to come by on this here isle? No wonder you pooh-pooh the stuff.

Hot is the devil’s temperature.

Tea prep: pour boiling water into clean mug, wait 30 seconds, discard water. Add tea bag, pour in more boiled water. Wait about a minute before removing bag with spoon. DO NOT SQUEEZE BAG, that’s declassé. Add milk to taste. Tip down sink and drink something nice.
