There will not be a general election on December 9th, 2019. Boris Johnson tried some sovereign citizen level poo poo to avoid an extension, but it failed and A50 has been extended until January 31st, 2020. 10 Tory saboteurs were given the whip back. BXP may be running as wreckers only. Lib Dems have released a lolworthery 'tactical voting' site that's definitely a bad attempt at wrecking. https://twitter.com/bathnesld/status/1189648562080112640/ Azza Bamboo did a big effortpost about stuff we previously knew to get up to speed. Sanford posted:The most successful messaging I've found so far is "if not for Tory austerity, about 200,000 people would be alive who are now dead. That's 1000's of empty spots on the sofa, 1000's of people starting to make two cups of tea before realising their mistake, 1000's of people rolling over in bed and reaching out for someone who isn't there, 1000's of families missing someone this Christmas who should still be with them. And this is when the tories were on form, never mind the chaos of recent months." The most negative response I've had so far is "I need to think about this" from someone who told me in 2017 he couldn't see himself ever voting not tory, never mind voting labour.

So the grenfell inquiry, whose decision was it to split into two phases with the first phase covering the night of the fire? Seems pretty transparently a way for the government to shift blame in the media on to the fire brigade. https://twitter.com/getfiscal/status/1189932863195697153?s=19

Still having a sensible chuckle at the fact that the only election strategy the Lib Dems have left is to essentially try to trick people into voting for them with bogus tactical voting arguments and guides.
