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

o yeah my bad

those people know that Corbyn is a Brexiteer who governs the Labour party with an iron fist and nothing will convince them otherwise which is probably convenient

in fairness to remain ultras who will vote LD labour's idea - negotiate a deal and then put it to a confirmatory vote - would probably lead to brexit.

which is to say nothing short of unilaterally rescinding A50 leads to Remain? i know they keep changing but that's not officially LD policy this week iirc

I am worried about the big man’s eyes tho. looking worse recently.

also dng why JC chose to harden the party position on indyref 2 while in scotland (well, I do *pssst* SLAB). the position they had was 1 coherent 2 consistent w JC’s principles as a democrat and 3 would not alienate “I didn’t leave labour, labour left me” switchers in SNP marginals. this new “WM will dictate terms” position does not play well in scotland

i thought repealing article 50 was LD policy, but i don't pay them that much attention

xp. being reasonable and democratic regarding scottish independence might play well in scotland - and it's a big might, it may not sway nats and might repel yoons - but doesn't play well in engerland

i may have been confused by the LDs moaning about Labour not being behind the People's Referendum but the manifesto isn't out yet and it seems to be just Swindon and her PR crew pulling the strings now so god knows

you're right that hardcore Remainers might well believe this is what a LD majority government would do. i guess my point is there's no reaching anybody that stupid.

has become the story tho. could have just recapitulated the position they’d been using and then gone on to foreground all the other stuff in the retail offer.

maybe Corbs would prefer being in government with the SNP than with most of the SLAB nobheads

don’t think there’s any prospect of them going into gov w SNP. suspect the position will be (if it comes to pass) LAB minority gov supported by SNP & others on vote by vote basis. put up a QS and dare them to vote it down. coalition gov would likely require s.30 order

i mean a formal rather than informal coalition, not bothered about going back to the stupidity of 2010-15 but a Labour minority government ought to be ideologically aligned to the SNP in more areas than not (perhaps obviously not the main issue but deals are for making after the fact)

sorry, informal not formal, brain all over the place

labour minority with confidence and supply from nats - new eu and indy refs next year - leave and no win again

banter years!

Lord Buckethead and the Elmo guy are both standing in Uxbridge & South Ruislip. No pact between them and Johnson, nor LB's cynical copycat Count Binface.

Prediction: Binface and Buckethead actually help Johnson retain his seat by about 15 votes due to the 100-odd student types voting for them over Labour 'for the lolz'

xp

yeah think the LAB stated position is “if the SNP want to vote down our QS, on their heads be it.” obv big part of the SNP’s brand is not just independence - a lot of it hinges on them being a progressive party. not sure the reaction would be favourable from a lot of ex-labour “I didn’t leave the labour party, it left me” types if they were to put the tories back in by voting down a LAB QS. could irreparably damage their brand - SNP very canny strategists tho w very disciplined information messaging so they could manage this somehow.

look what happened in 1979 - we can argue the toss over who was right and who was wrong in 1979 (ie it was labour’s dumb fault) but the fact is the SNP were not in good position at the next election.

not next, that*

people monitoring BAME teenagers’ social media accounts to compile dossiers of offensive content, only for those to be held for release immediately after nominations close for an election where they are a PPC........... are scum

momentum videos have big “look and read” energy but good to see this

yeah he was playing a sleazy politician in the last video too :p

haha had the exact same thought

Lol, ofc I wake up and post this without refreshing...please ignore my shame.

As for the stroke theory, he’s been photographed working out in public and he’s doing huge miles campaigning. Doesn’t seem to fit that bit of the puzzle imo. As for forgetfulness, well, he’s never been a great man for the detail.

He’s had ptosis (droopy eyelid) in the other for ages, as every cartoonist in the country has noticed.

NHS guidance says they’re used for “double vision” but doesn’t specifically mention mini strokes, so GF is (unsurprisingly) being economical with the truth.

Oh noes, Tony Parsons isn't voting Labour.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/14/concerns-about-antisemitism-mean-we-cannot-vote-labour

Liberal Democrat Maajid Nawaz says he can't vote Labour. OH NOES!

State of the names on that list.

GF getting a pasting by their own fans on twitter for this, lol

didn't he recently have a mini-op on his eye?

Frederick Forsyth says he can't vote Labour!!!!! Stunned by this.

0z k4t3rj1 one of the most deeply weird minor nobodies brought to prominence by opposition to JC

Seems like historians really don't like Jezward Croybun, especially shit TV ones.

Which other community’s concerns are disposable in this way? Who would be next?

Rich fuckers

lol I can't believe such a uber-Tory hardcore brexiter and ex-MI6 spook isn't a raving Corbynista!

I don't know what historian David Edgerton thinks of Corbyn but he fucking loathes Blairism.

Can’t believe someone with anti Irish views doesn’t like Corbyn

james balls must be raging he wasn’t asked

sad to see the young star of spiderman in such grisly company

what do you mean - with his awful fucking dad? :p

big fan of "moderate rebels" in syria iirc

mix of posh bastards, luvvies, landed gentry all cunts shocker. Beevor is such a mediocre historian his Barbarossa book makes the most dramatic war of annihilation in history into a boring trudge along many well worn paths, fuck him.

lmao look at these dregs

when you care deeply about racism

Have always thoughts having Richard I & Oliver Cromwell outside Parliament is like a big F**k you to ISIS & the IRA https://t.co/DWDwchJ6E3

fuck that little shit and his awful dad!

it's as pointless as getting a list of unreconstructed tankies signing a letter saying they can't vote for the conservatives under this current leadership for goodness sake!

for a sec I was getting him mixed up with proper actor (whose also probs a crypto-tory melt but never mind) Tom Hollander.

PMSL at the signatories to that 'public figures' Labour AS letter. Labour have lost such progressive luminaries as *checks notes* headbanging Brexiteer Tory Frederick Forsyth, professional reactionary Trevor Phillips, twitter loon Oz Katerji and Sun columnist Tony Parsons

— Dan Hancox (@danhancox) November 14, 2019

lol i just worked out who the "awful dad" is and now i'm sad rory mcgrath wasn't asked to sign the letter to give it some red-faced heft

anyway it's tom holland the historian i think, and not tom holland the son of dom holland (this was the burden of my micro-joke anyway)

I used to knock about with spidey's dad's cousin! lol talk about a claim to fame. once he said check out my cous on Hignfy tonite - back in the 90's. Never heard Tom Holland historian - so obv he's not worth shit!

yeah its tom holland the melt historian who was also a love bomber of scotland during the indyref. bede-bothering cunt
