We're already past Tories post doctored video of Kier Starmer stage.

Shocking. Pathetic. Desperate. (Them not you.)

Assuming a grown up sanctioned that, what on earth made them think it was a good idea?

Another classic day in Tory election campaigning:
▪️Release doctored video from GMB interview
▪️Sit on report about Russian interference
▪️Abandon promise to give MPs vote on transition extension
▪️Report reveals they built 0 houses out of 200K
▪️Rees-Mogg blames Grenfell victims
▪️Bridgen says they lacked intelligence

Not sure where you have been for the last 2 years but rail has been screwed under a TORY government because it hasn't got a f*cking clue ..

The rail system in the Midlands works amazingly well,with punctual,clean,modern trains,great infastructure,and a Tory Mayor who is constantly pushing for rail extensions and improvements.

Sorry, but are you saying that something actually happening under a Tory government is a taste of what might happen if Labour get in?

You're an utter fukwit.

What,no death threat?You'll be drummed out of Momentum after a poor riposte like that.3/10 Must try harder:D

Southern and thameslink have been appalling and the majority of the town's they service return Tory Mps and Councillors who by your reckoning can't be doing their job properly. Own goal I believe or maybe 2 one for the councillors and one for the Mps.

The terrible thing is, it WAS a good idea. Ten thousand gullible gammon dickheads will have retweeted / shared it, far and wide, to be enthusiastically lapped up by a million of their brethren.

Not one of them will pause to give two ****s whether it is accurate or not.

I think we will all fully appreciate what a ridiculous time this is to have a GE in the week leading up to the vote when most people will be preoccupied with Christmas.

Must be rather frustrating being brighter, cleverer and more informed than the majority of the electorate.

You can only blame yourself for the people elected locally to you.Our elected mayor,Andy Street,does an excellent job all round,as you might expect from the former MD of John Lewis.More than makes up for the appalling damage Jess Phillips does to Birmingham's reputation.

Nope...apparently you can blame democracy for that or does that only count for BREXIT?

You fit in well with the rest of your colleagues who appear not to be able to see the truth even when it is right before your eyes.

So are people just supposed to roll their eyes heavenward and give up when the Tories seek to lie and cheat their way to an election victory.

What is frustrating is that Keir Starmer is worth ten of Boris Johnson - a decent, honourable and intelligent politician - everything that Johnson is not.

Agreed that if Starmer is leading Labour the election gets turned on its head. Something is very wrong when despite the party having the talent of Starmer, Benn and Lammy it is headed up by Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott. It's political suicide.

Respectfully, it really is a bit of a stretch to suggest a rail strike is an encapsulation of a dystopian Corbynist nightmare when said rail network has spent the past NINE YEARS under some form of Conservative government.

I see the Greens are suggesting we borrow £91B a year to tackle climate change. Not sure if that's responsible, it would be similar levels to which the Tories have piled on the credit card since 2010....

Cleverly trying to worn his way out this morning, what a pathetic joke of a man, defending the indefensible rather than just saying sorry on behalf of the whole party.
And then you get half wits like 2 professors who stick up for them and believe every word they say.
Truly extraordinary.
