[Politics] The General Election Thread

[theonlymikey]

Ok. Thanks. I imagine the truth, whatever it is, will emerge.

Peston and Brand have done the same.

Reports from sources inside the hospital completely contradicting the Tories description of events.

Video can be seen also. no violence.

I've never heard of Paul Brand, so I have no idea how well positioned he is to state whether Boris Johnson can afford mistakes or not.

But, let's assuming he can't afford mistakes - is Paul Brand now saying Johnson has thrown the election away today? Seems a bold claim...to

to

Paul Brand is an ITV political correspondent [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION],usually viewed as quite Tory friendly.
His Leadership debate Twitter polls have been the largest sample size, up to 77,000 in each one. They have come out strongly in favour of Corbyn each time (60%+)but, ITV, Sky, and the BBC all prefer to use YouGov polls with a much smaller sample size(1,200ish) that show Johnson narrowly winning each debate.

Strange that,eh.

Paul Brands Twitter " Conservatives say Labour paid for taxis to transport around 100 activists to Leeds General Infirmary, to protest against the Health Secretary’s visit. They say a Conservative political advisor was assaulted outside the hospital."

There is film of Matt Hancock leaving the hospital and getting some "banter", there seem to be about 4 " Activists" and they resort to that most terrible of insults " Shame on you Matt Hancock, Shame on you " Labour should get a refund for the Taxi fares of the 96 that did not show up.

Not far off bumbling his way into a hung parliament.

The polling company that got closest to the correct result in the 2017 election, Survation, latest poll suggests otherwise ...

The polling company that got closest to the correct result in the 2017 election, Survation, latest poll suggests otherwise ...

Researchers have suggested that in extreme cases, the Tories vote share could be as much as 12pts too high.

Weighting against the 2016 referendum, deaths and newly 18 year olds since, and new polling showing 52% to remain all big factors in the miscalculation.

Is Labour still a party of the working class?

How workers split the week before Cameron won his majority in 2015

Conservative 29%
Labour 36%
LibDem 15%

How they split today, before Johnson may win his:

Conservative 48%
Labour 31%
Lib Dem 9%

YouGov data
#ge2019 #Brexit

Tories are clearly the party of the working classes

Only a few days left, I reckon NSC emotions might become a little more tense and fraught with a few more insults and swear words thrown about.

Unlikely as the liberal/left contingent on NSC are such a tolerant, non-judgemental bunch and never get sweary, patronising or abusive if democratic results don't go their way ....

Pray for a Labour majority, if the Cons nick it The So Soy Crew will be spitting in their Skinny Latte’s , the whining will be unbearable.

Not to mention the usual suspect telling us he’s leaving the country although tbf he claims to have future proofed himself.

Well, I can't imagine anybody from the Conservative and Unionist (for the minute) Party insulting anyone. Certainly not their kind, caring, self-sacrificing, anti-racist, selfless, honest, modest, anti-homophobic leader.

Makes you proud to be a British Conservative and Unionist (for the minute) party supporter. I bet you are welling up just watching him JCFG

There is a little contact but it’s unintentional. Wouldn’t get a yellow on a football pitch, wouldn’t even interest VAR.

I know you are easily confused so I'll try and explain this as simply as I can. You don't need to pray for a Labour Majority.

It only needs Johnson to fail to get a majority for a second referendum to happen and your 'So Soy Crew' to be celebrating

Sorry to be pedantic, but the tweet says when they arrived a punch was thrown, that's them leaving innit.

BTW, don't know whats happened today, but Conservatives odds are shortening drastically for an overall majority , all the bookies have them at 4-1 on.

 

[theonlymikey]

That's the referred to incident.

Laura Keunssberg should resign.

But that would take away from the story at hand. That our Prime Minister doesn't give a sh1t about a little boy on a hospital floor.

I think she got it so so wrong she didn’t even know if they were leaving/arriving

Happy to be proved wrong with new video evidence

Just switched the telly on and caught a trailer for tonight's BBC South East electoral coverage from Eastbourne. It consisted of vox pop interviews with two local voters. One said the candidates were all poor and the other claimed to be a Remainer who is now moving to favour Leave. No balance; nothing even-handed about it. Totally implausible that it could happen the other way round. Just how terrified is the BBC of losing the licence fee? We live in ever nastier times.

That’s what happens when you vote Tory. Is anyone actually surprised this sociopath doesn’t care? The man is a total prick.
