Sky have been more impartial than the BBC this campaign imo. Might be something to do with the ministerial boycott near the start of the campaign or Laura Kuennessberg being May's campaign chief

Sky are showing a very tightly zoomed in view of May doing a speech to tory activists in a shed in Slough, so lets see if they'll show Jeremy talking to what must be 600 people in Birmingham, which is being livestreamed to 4 other locations at the same time.

(Jeremy isn't on at time of post, there's a band playing, and Steve Coogan already spoke.)

She's pushing for new house arrest orders.

Because you know, those are cheaper than setting up internment camps.

The election hosed up the merger ruling, so they're both annoyed at May for calling it and costing them money while also have a vested interest in not pissing off any of the possible future governments. From a wider newscorp perspective the Time's coverage has been fairly good and balanced, somehow at points to the left of the Guardian, while the Sun behaved itself for a while before jumping off the deep end when Labour started to move in the polls.

Just found out Corbyn is visiting Glasgow again tomorrow.
He's got a speech lined up for Buchanan St at 8am. Unfortunately, I got asked yetserday to work 8am-1615 this week instead of the preplanned 845-1700, so I won't get a chance to hear even a bit of it.


However, Glasgows hardly lining up for Labour right now. Maybe this is the push it needs to put a couple Labour candidates into Westminster.

Are we still pretending that the Lib Dems are a bigger party in Scotland than the Greens? 5th biggest party at Holyrood, somehow get regarded as one of the big 4 because Orkney & Shetland are loving liberal fundamentalists.

The FT reporting that markets are definitely not pricing in the chance of a Corbyn victory or hung parliament. Apart from a wobble from the first shock poll that showed Labour cutting into the Tory lead, the pound, equities, and gilt yields have been stable.

Then again, the markets totally got Brexit wrong, so maybe this means nothing.
