I’ve gone to the opposite of my foolish  doom mongering. Now I’m ignoring anything negative. Seriously, I’ve no ability to change anything, I can’t even be bothered to respond to the absolutely ludicrous post about comparative popularity made by AoT. What’s the point? I’m just going to let it wash over me and pretend it’s alllll good.
 

I haven’t seen the poll numbers, but I’m resigned to Labour not getting a majority and not getting more seats than the Tories. I’m moving on. We are going to have a Tory government, we are leaving Europe in a way that means things are going to get worse for those in need, the NHS will be under threat, and I suspect Labour will choose somebody hideous like Rebecca Long-Bailey to pick up the baton. 
 

So, ya know, fuck it. Don’t worry, be happy. Cause every little thing... 

Hmmm

[Strontium]

After hearing about our canvass returns, I concur with NV's belief that we are going to have a Tory government.

But Jo said there'd be  a Lib Dem Government!

At this moment in time, Cant see it being anything other than a majority.

Really, she actually said that? I think not.

It was a joke.

 

(She did say something with echoes of "prepare for government" about it - I can't remember her exact words now. I assumed that was a joke, too.)

[Brownie]

“I am ready to take my party into a general election and win it,”

 

"go back to your constituencies and prepare for government!"

vile

[AngryOfTuebrook]

He must have bumped into too many Corbynistas in his time, for some of their Labour anti-Semitism to rub off on him. 

[Moctezuma]

The polls I note are making for grim reading, typically the English want to be eye socket fucked with a massive dildo that has Kleptocracy, Tax Evasion/Avoidance, Privatisation, Inequality and Climate Change inaction written on it. Such a feeble weak supine populace, always happy to doff their caps to their theiving upper classes.

 

It's a pity Liverpool has to be in the same geographical jurisdiction.

That should be publicised as widely as possible. Great work from Oborne et al.

Nationalising some services as part of a mixed economy, is centre left. Profit sharing and workers representation on boards, is centre left. Removing tax loopholes to realign spend in education, is centre left. The private school stance is backed by lunatics such as Ed Miliband and Clive Lewis no-less.

 

I'm afraid we have a different view on what constitutes "centre-left".

Some nationalisation is indeed centre left. I don't think nationalising an internet company it. John McDonnell has been clear in the past, it's not just profit sharing he is interested in, he wants all forms to give up 10% of shares and give the the employees. Companies would just go and register their companies in the Isle of Mann or somewhere out of his reach. Outlawing private schools is just fucking mental. I don't think they should get any government subsidies, but an idea you can stop people buying education is mental. Again, the wealthy would just put the kids in schools outside of his jurisdiction . Labour (or perhaps John McDonnell) have take centre left policies further left.

She absolutely has said that. She said it when questioned about her ability to withdraw A50. 

[RobbieOR]

She said “I am ready to take my party into a general election and win it,” did she not?

To be fair, I’m ready to take Margot Robbie are the arse. Difference is, I actually have a slim chance.

This is quite remarkable from Kuenssburg.

She's definitely shagging the Buffoon.

As I said, we have a different idea on what certain policies constitute in terms of a political spectrum, which is sound because it’s a subjective thing anyway.

It's difficult to avoid the conclusion that she isn't remotely impartial and I'm someone who recognises that it's a difficult line to walk being a political journalist. However she'd be all over a prospective Labour candidate being outed as a holocaust denier. At best she seems to be running with a deliberate narrative regarding the Labour party.

[Dougie Do'ins]

She works for the BBC. Says it all.
