If you put all the horrors in cupboards, the Tory election campaign would be even more muted than it is now...

Quoting a Stormzy lyric ffs. Twat.
Probably receive the same response as Scargill got with the plans showing all the pits were closing.

Mm bit different I think. The miners were already the right media's enemy number one when Thatcher came along - the NHS on the other hand is the single most beloved institution in Britain and even the Mail has to pretend to love it. Accusations of Tories selling the thing to a foreign power is something Johnson's very prickly about for good reason, even bone-headed patriot types will be uneasy about this one.
Much as Labour makes a lot of missteps, I think they've played a good hand here. It foxes the momentum of the anti-Semitism smears and rounds off months of back and forth where they accused Johnson of this and forced him to flat out lie about it, at exactly the right time to make maximum impact. I wonder how long they sat on it.
Apparently they've been available on Reddit for a month, so probably that long at least.

I note they’re playing the ‘NHS is under strain due to immigrants’ card, I’ve noticed cunts on social media have been using this line as a rebuttal to anyone pointing out the state of the service, like it’s nothing to do with inadequate funding or managerial waste through contracting out processes. Racists gonna racist.

It’s fucking topsy-turvy world where Johnson with several clear examples of racism in print gets to throw accusations of racism at Corbyn. I think they do it just to disrupt the party and keep them away from other topics that they might score points on, rather than being something that is believable and has traction with the broader public.
I appreciate that, but it was still pretty interesting. Not everything in it was old news I don't think ...

Given that #mandem #roadman like Michael Gove is so fond of Stormzy's lyrics one has to wonder why he didn't quote 'Fuck the government, fuck Boris'

of course he won't be suspended as a candidate, indeed he will likely be feted by his local party

They just can't help themselves, can they? It's that classic racist trope that says "OK, I know I'm not supposed to get caught saying these things, but I am still going to think like a racist". So you know just how they're going to vote, make policy, and treat their constituents - like a racist.

Neale Hanvey (SNP, Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbetah) has "all support withdrawn" for his campaign and is no longer an SNP candidate over anti-semitism allegations.
Big win for the magic grandpa who would have struggled to hold on otherwise, I think.

They unveiled and fawned about a statue to Astor. A Nazi sympathiser and antisemite. Oh okay then.
