The 2017 General Election campaign

[TheHoodedClaw]

One thing I haven't missed in this election is the asinine rolling up of sleeves thing that Cameron and Gideon were doing to look 'workmanlike'.

They don't seem to be doing "The Stance" this time around either.

This morning's car crash in full

Even just the way she gets cracking with good ol' Laura, she'll be alright won't she? Won't she...?

Laura: What will the cap be set at?
PM Mayhem: Two minutes of waffle.

The head shaking is becoming something of a weird mannerism too. Swainesque.

 

[LDC]

If I had to place a bet based on that last video alone, I'd say she's fucked it and they're heading for a surprise defeat.

Conservatives buy 'dementia tax' Google ad as criticism of policy grows

The Conservatives have paid for a Google advert that appears at the top of the page when users search for “dementia tax” in response to growing attacks on Theresa May’s social care policy.

People using the search engine on Monday to find out about the term, coined to describe the prime minister’s manifesto commitment to shake up the funding of old age care, found the top result was a paid-for link from Conservatives.com that read: “The so-called ‘dementia tax’ – get the real facts.”

Desperate stuff.

not a good look is it?

and she really doesn't like criticising her does she?

According to James O'Brien on LBC this morning, No. 10 have been calling LBC and asking them to tone down their rhetoric on dementia tax.

The Dementia Tax?

I think she needs to rethink that line "Noone will have to sell their home (WHILE THEY'RE STILL ALIVE)" that she keeps saying, it sounds kind of ghoulish.

isn't it also saying to lots of people 'we'll your ma won't have to sell up till she'd popped off but bye-bye to that house you were due to inherit a third of'

I think there's hope that May will crack and provide us with one of these. Only a small hope, but hope nonetheless.

God she's a shit politician.

 

[Brainaddict]

God she's a shit politician.

She is, isn't she? Basically lucked into this job because the party was in shock after Brexit and all the other candidates were numpties.

I mean, why didn't she just lie about care in the manifesto? It's what the Tories do most of the time, and they didn't bother to cost anything else.

 

[taffboy gwyrdd]

God she's a shit politician.

Yes. If she is PM from June 9th I anticipate things will nosedive very badly for her, the party and the country. She can't sustain being this awful in so many ways without major consequences and push-back.

 

[newbie]

God she's a shit politician.

neither strong nor stable

she's personalised the May Party, may she they reap the consequences

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

God she's a shit politician.

She is pants. We're well fucked with brexit.

Tory Dementia Tax

 

[killer b]

Shame it isn't a bit less shit.

[squirrelp]

'dementia tax' has a very strong resonance. This is going to hurt the Tories.

The other big factor is Corbyn's crowd pulling as opposed to Theresa's crowd avoiding. You can't fake this stuff.

Another factor - the Blairites are starting to fall silent. This ain't going to be the landslide loss they wanted.

This gap is going to keep closing.

Game on!
