The 2019 General Election

[redsquirrel]

Presumably these are the two seats that Sporting Index and Spreadex ‘gave back’ to Labour and took off the LDs in the readjusted bet spread after the debate last night.

No idea, I'm am totally ignorant on betting stuff. That said I'd still fancy the LDs chances in Sheffield Hallam, Leeds North West could be close but I think Labour might keep it.

On the two seats things - I kind of get that. LD have made all the ground they are going to make against Labour, and by far the most fertile hunting ground for them is remainer tories or would be tories that are worried by Johnson/Cummings. So she should be pissing me off if she's got any sense really.

I would be really surprised if Lab take Hallam, but then, you can never rule out a total studentquake I suppose.

And while I don't really like them, they can take as many seats off the tories as they like as far as I'm concerned.

You won't be so happy if the golden shower go into coalition with Johnson's foul crew

I know the twitter account is real but this has to be a piss take post, surely. I know loads of people really struggle with tax rates only applying on earnings above but this dickhead is subtracting a pounds and pence figure for the average extra amount of tax the top 5% will pay - which includes all those people earning late hundreds/millions/more and is probably bullshit anyway - from the threshold the top rate will kick in at. Nobody is that fucking stupid

Looks like she is...

It's just blatant disinformation isn't it? She isn't that stupid, it's posted for people with a very vague grasp of how taxation works to get angry about.

Yes, she's on SM virtually full-time and has quite a history of involvement going back to Mark Clarke's YBF/CF infamous 'Road-trip' canvassing sessions.

Engaging article on the Labour candidate Faiza Shaheen in Chingford and Woodford Green. In with a chance? Maybe...

'Britain's AOC', the young Muslim woman trying to unseat Iain Duncan Smith

My local CLP put this up on their SM yesterday.
I get it, but I'm left feeling troubled by the attempt at 'throw-away' casual racism humour at the end.
Maybe I'm being a bit testy, (i'm sure the intent was ironic & all that) but I'm not really impressed by that; is it just me wondering how it will be read?

 

[butchersapron]

It's dogshit

 

[butchersapron]

On so so many levels.

 

[butchersapron]

Did they mean to join the lib-dems or greens and failed or something?

 

[brogdale]

There are some real corkers out there on vermin SM...but this one from far-right thicko Swayne has to take the #diveristyandinclusion award today?

That dog doesn't look happy about being included in the photo.

Erm what about that gamer bloke and his fear of Corbyn? Fascinating specimen, i genuinely don't know any gamers.

Or what's being done to it.

That's a bold statement on a site with Don Trooomp posting on it.
