Brackets are changes from 2017 election

 

Lab 39 (-16)

Con 29 (-4)

LD 19 (+10)

Brx 6 (+6)
Grn 5 (+3)

 

I wasn't too sure what to make of Labour in London but seeing that and comparing at a similar stage of the 2017 GE Labour are just two points off with the Conservatives down seven.

You are a tedious cunt I’ll give you that. The policy is very fucking simple. The only way you wouldn’t be able to understand it is if you are completely bogged down in inconsequential little details. Like, “why won’t they tell people which way to vote”

You're determined to keep this going

 

I understand the policy, quite obviously more than you. It is not as simple as "lets have another referendum".

 

As for the "why wont they tell people which way to vote" the policy is to do just that, but vote for us in the GE first then we will tell you. The deal you will have to vote on? Wait and see, we'll negotiate one. Thats just inconsequential little details though, move along.

 

I love the "i mistyped the word exact" Happens all the time, off you go posting an opinion, and all the wrong words showing a complete lack of understanding, come out. But fuck it, lets stick with it like a tedious bastard because its better than appearing to be wrong.

I was listening in the car as he was being interviewed, it was staggering.

 

"I cudda been a contender........"

 

Tory Boy Robinson and "Unbiased" Kuenssberg lapped it up. Obviously.

After Watson resigning last night I was very pleasantly surprised by how well the Labour party had shown a united front, it is the one thing I give the Tories credit for. 

 

Purely coincidentally after Labour handled a resignation really well, an ex minister (left the party 9 months ago, but let's not mention that), comes out slagging off the leadership. 

 

As I say, timing is purely a coincidence.

Watched Bailey this morning thought she handled her brief and the external party questions pretty well . Did not bluster and fudge answers, just told the truth and nipped the questions in the bud. Don't know much about her but better start to day than Cleverlys car crash yesterday.

I've got sympathy for him to be honest it must be fucking horrible to wake up every single day being Ian Austin

 

Slags Corbyn off for being a racist then asks everyone to back a sociopathic racist

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

With Austin's comments and the front cover of today's right wing, pro-Apartheid Jewish S*n, sorry, Chronicle, it looks like a semi-coordinated smear attempt. 

 

Which hardly anybody will buy.

I'm at John McDonnell's event at the Invisible Wind Factory and I'm sat right behind Quentin Letts. I'm really tempted to accidentally nudge him in the back of the head when I stand up.

So far Ian Austin has been on BBC Radio 4, BBC news and Sky regurgitating the same shite although on Sky I actually thought he was going to cry. Not really sure why he's getting so much airtime as he left the Labour Party about nine months ago..

 

Meanwhile an actual statesman of a politician (whatever you think of his policies) said this a few days ago and I could be wrong but I don't remember it getting as much airtime

 

Ken Clarke warns he will not vote for 'crazy right-wing nationalist' Tories

When Austin left in February he said that Corbyn was unfit to be PM, so not sure why him repeating what he said 9 months ago is news. 

 

Actually I am.

He didn't just repeat it, he upped the ante by saying people should vote for Johnson. That's newsworthy, at least for a day.

No one will remember Ian Austin come next week. He can crawl off into the night chocking on his 15 minutes of fame

A perfect example of fucking up and not having the sense to back down straightaway and kill it dead.

Just got a handshake of Jezza there! Is right.

For my sins, I have been following Cleverly closely for some while. 

Whilst he has apologised for certain individual MPs comments/actions (Mogg most recently), I have never seen seen/heard him apologise/admit that the Conservative party itself has every had a bad policy or done anything wrong strategically ever. 

I am at the point now where when the Tories fuck up and I hear he is on to defend the fuck up I look forward to it, as I know he will never admit it was a fuck up and just makes himself and the Tories look worse. 

 

I do believe that makes my life sad.

I dont know what time the story originally broke but I posted that BBC link at 09:00 today.  I've been randomly in and out if the BBC website all morning and each time the timestamp on the article has changed. 

 

As I type, according to the latest timestamp the article is only 29 minutes old. Surely the good old impartial BBC arent going out of their way to keep the item near the top of the page ?

 

And as if by magic it now two minutes.
