The 2019 General Election

[kabbes]

I’d totally forgotten how utterly awful that CUK logo is. (Also, the name CUK.). It just looks like a printing error. It represents nothing but blandness and a lack of vision.

Yep, perfect choice I'd say.

The Conservatives have offered an electoral pact to Nigel Farage that would mean the Brexit Party targeting just 40 key seats, The Telegraph can disclose.

Boris Johnson was prepared to put up “paper candidates” in the Labour-held constituencies, meaning the Tories would carry out only minimal campaigning in order to give an advantage to Brexit Party rivals.

However, the deal was turned down by Mr Farage, who had insisted on the Tories withdrawing their candidates altogether from the seats, because he was worried that the Conservative candidates would still attract votes.

Tories offer Nigel Farage eleventh-hour deal

It wouldn't surprise me if this is true, but I can't see the Tories standing down candidates, it could put off more moderate Tories voters in the south, and leave them with egg on their faces.

But, I do wonder if Farage will blink at the last moment, realising that's the best deal he'll get from his hard-line negotiating position, he's under a lot of pressure to do so. Although I wouldn't put money on it, I also wouldn't be surprised if he did.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Farage doing something to grab the headlines this evening. No idea what though.

astonishing stuff here


Sketch: Boris Johnson can’t even be trusted to insult Jeremy Corbyn properly
do you want as prime minister a man who can't even call another politician a wanker, who bottles it?

Hospitals 'imploding' as waits at worst-ever level

Doubt this will swing many/any Tory voters but a pretty damning statistic to ignore

Probably the only positive for Labour about a December election is all the noise about another winter NHS crisis, likely to get louder as we go.

So, Farage is pushing ahead with 300 candidates in Labour areas, but I wonder how many could decide to stand down over the next few hours, like this guy in Hove.

A BREXIT Party election candidate has pulled out of a heated race and endorsed the Conservatives.

Andy Wood, who ran for Nigel Farage's party in Hove, announced today he would not compete in the December General Election.

And he encouraged his supportters to back Conservative candidate Robert Nemeth in what could be a boost for the Tories as they bid to unseat Labour candidate Peter Kyle.

John Curtice says chances of Lab majority “as close to zero as it’s possible to be”. Citrs Corbyn’s general unpopularity.

Only issue is whether parliament will be hung or Johnson has a majority.

madness

Is the High Street doomed

Considering how many of them he has stabbed in the back, he can hardly complain if some of them return the favour can he?

The media: "Corbyn is historically unpopular with the general public, he is a liability in this election"

Also the media: "Johnson can't go anywhere without everyone telling him how he is a useless cunt, at length, with diagrams"

Despite reports from bullshitters to the contrary, nominations have just closed and Johnson is standing in Uxbridge

I so hope he loses.

I know it's unlikely, but, well, if you don't have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true?

De Pfeffel losing his seat would be the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Farage is whinging about the Tories targeting his candidates with endless phone calls & e-mails putting pressure on them to stand down, and even offering them jobs.

Nigel Farage claims Tories 'offering jobs' to candidates if they stand down

This was always going to be a dirty election, what did he expect?

Any interesting candidatures out yet? We've got a UKIP and a Brexit Party, but otherwise Sheffield is very dull. Socialist Equality Party candidate in central. And just the one independent - ohh, 2 i mean

Just the usual - Tory, LibDem, Labour & Green - plus for some reason David Aherne, who I guess is now a former coordinator of the Worthing Green Party, standing as an independent for some reason.

The LibDem candidate in Wrexham is called Tim Sly

Worthing needs to up it's game; what happened to the days when it had two fascist candidates whose supporters came to blows at the count?
