The Lib Dems, Labour and the SNP are all mutually toxic to various degree (the Lib Dems are big in Tory areas because they're not just a front for Labour, for example). Announcing anything like that before the election wouldn't be very helpful imo.

Pinch Me Im Meming posted:Have some drive-by post:  This is fox hunting. It's sometimes necessary to protect small livestock such as chickens and rabbits, especially if some twat has been constructing artificial earths to encourage wild foxes to breed beyond sustainable numbers.  This is riding around dressed like a prick and harassing livestock. It hasn't been necessary since the invention of the longbow.  This is a fox hunting.

Two hours until the BBC gives May 20 minutes of prime time tv where the most serious political question she will face will probably come about Eurovision. The one show has been getting some criticism over this, and after their dismissive comments at the weekend about how they would be happy to have "Mr and Mrs Corbyn" on the show in the future tonight they've revealed that they will be announcing tonight their plans for engagement with the other political parties on tonights show.

It's not complex. I believe this is being left up to CLPs if they want to try stuff like this, but really Caroline Lucas' seat is the only one where this would happen since the Lib Dems have made it pretty abundantly clear that they are much friendlier to the Tories than they are to Labour. Liberals will side with the fascists before the socialists every time. Spuckuk posted:Or the painting blood on your cheeks from the dead fox if it's your first hunt.. I'd respect fox hunts more if they used more fight club rules. Only two to a fight. No shirts, no shoes. Only one hunt at a time. And most importantly, you can't talk about it.

Zephro posted:So Corbyn was asked half a dozen times by Laura Kuenssberg whether Brexit would still happen if Labour won and he dodged the question every time. I get the impression Labour are trying to be clever by being all things to all people on Brexit and creating what they imagine is useful ambiguity so that both Remainers and Leavers will feel they can vote for them. But it isn't working - they just look like idiots and/or crypto-Leavers who don't have the courage to say so out loud. I wouldn't be surprised if Corbyn refuses to give Kuenssberg a straight answer to any question ever again.

On the Corbyn not clarifying whether we would still leave the EU under him in the event of 'a bad deal'. It is surely that he, nor any other leader, could never admit that this was remotely their position as in the event of their win, then Europe would refuse to budge on anything, charge a zillion dollars and then point to the demonstration of British public opinion that it was best to stay in if the deal was bad. Making the whole thing a waste of everyone's time. Unless of course it is assumed by everyone involved in the negotiations that anything said in an election campaign stays in an election campaign. Of course I don't think at this point anyone taking that position would win anyway so... yeah.

MikeCrotch posted:Fears of the SNP coalition were one of the factors in the campaign against Miliband, so it's hardly surprising that Corbyn ruled that out immediately. As for the Lib Dems they ruled out any Labour coalition on their end, which is hardly surprising because the two parties don't really have anything in common. indeed. looking at the SDLP, the Cooperative Party, and the Liberal Democrats it's not hard to see why Labour have long running successful electoral agreements with 2 of the 3.

I see that Labour is not in favor of a free press - very concerning quote:Political editor Jim Waterson, who carried out the interview, then contacted Corbyn's spokesperson to find out why we had not been invited to the campaign stops. A senior Corbyn aide told him that BuzzFeed News would now find its access limited because the interview had disrupted media coverage of Labour's launch event, that we had not informed Corbyn's team in advance of the headline we intended to run, and that we had press released the interview to other media organisations who then chose to pick it up. https://www.buzzfeed.com/hannahalothman/buzzfeed-news-has-been-denied-access-to-campaign-events?utm_term=.rf04NvdeK#.sv2vLYeN8

Two minutes in to May's One Show appearance. May has said Strong and Stable four times. Edit: The hosts just announced they won't be talking about politics with May, instead talking about her career, values and relationship with her husband. It's all rather chummy, and she's just made a joke about Eurovision. Skinty McEdger fucked around with this message at 19:06 on May 9, 2017 |

Steve Rotheram was my MP, and I voted for him for Metro Mayor with a heavy heart because I did not want that fat bag of shite Joe Anderson as my next MP. I'm glad he was pipped to the post by literally anyone.

I notice his angry letter makes reference to some unspecified stuff about the selection process he will bring up after the election, but I imagine it's just 'Corbyn bad'.
