[Politics] The General Election Thread

[Bozza]

Feel sorry for that woman stood outside Broadcasting House on that big map thing in the early hours of the morning in mid-December. They've only gone to her twice in 3 hours. She must be bored shitless and freezing her tits off.

She's going to be fuming about Jeremy Vine who got the gig of standing indoors over a virtual yellow (blue) brick road.

Backups run at 1am. Timeout will be 2-3 mins tops.

Ah, right cheers

 

[Weststander]

He does deserve credit for that as does Ed Balls for putting in his twopenneth.

Loved that. Johnson showed heartfelt passion for the party and the less fortunate, Lansman was emotionless.

Bozza preparing to run NSC backups earlier today.

Good to have Labour's red wall supporting me though.

Anyone flicking around got a verdict of the best channel to stick with?

 

[B-right-on]

With a crazy interview with an unmoved Jon Lansman.

Delusional more like. Couldn't accept the truth.

Workington... CON GAIN

Labour majority of over 4000 overturned.

Still, Labour leading 10-6

I believe SKY do this sort of thing very well (but I don't have SKY), but I am a traditionalist when it comes to GEs and always favour the BBC. Also, BBC have Andrew Neil who is merciless on hapless Labour MPS trooping in and out of the studio which is always good to watch. I like Nick Robinson too.

 

[Bodian]

workington gone.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Workington man/woman has spoken ...

 

[Bozza]

Still, Labour leading 10-6

Decent comeback.

Could go either way...

 

[Bozza]

workington gone.

Or gained, depending where you're sitting.

BBC... can't stand Balls, Osborne or Bercow.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Same here. Until then i have to vote Con. If Labour find another far left candidate i will avoid again but i don't think they will. Corbyn has been nothing short of a disaster

I’ve seen a few Labour people trot out the mantra already that it’s all the fault of the media and anybody who disagrees is brainwashed or stupid. I reckon Labour will be locked out for ever unless these people are removed.

They are already effectively locked out for 2024 (if this parliament lasts 5 years) as no party has ever won from this far back in terms of seat gains required. (If the Exit Poll is broadly correct). So even if Corbyn goes tomorrow he will have lost Labour 3 elections, which is no mean feat considering he only led them in 2.

I'm assuming most of the Labour supporters on NSC are based in the East Stand as they seem to have all left before the final whistle ...

BBC Parliament is pretty good.

 

[Bry Nylon]

When is shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth going to come clean and say he wasn't "joshing" on the phone and thinks Corbyn is a compete **** and electoral liability after all?

Labour are looking at 2029 now.
