The can of the hard border has been kicked from whenever Brexit happens under the current deal to about 2024. The assumption is that something will be found by then or Stormont will vote to continue the border in the Irish Sea.

The stupidest (though not the most monstrous) thing about what Rees-Mogg said is that if he really was a Very Clever Fellow who lived on a high floor in Grenfell, he’d have known that shelter-in-place was a proven strategy that had worked for every major high-rise fire up to then (and would probably have worked at Grenfell too if someoene hadn’t coated the exterior with napalm), and he’d have stayed in his flat until it was too late, chiding his neighbours who made a run for it as easily-panicked idiots.

But no, he’s a Clever person, so of course he would have done the Correct thing, even if what that thing was is something we can only know in hindsight, based on knowledge he couldn’t have had at the time.

They pulled that right before the GE because the tories were paying them for machine learning processing and they didn't like the prediction. Survation also used machine learning and got similarly close but they can only run machine learning when someone pays BIG money for it and they don't tend to release those results anymore.

This is one of the few nights a year I wish I lived in a tower block. We always used to go to my mate's brother's flat on the 19th floor and could see a hundred displays in one night, and people would only occasionally deliberately aim rockets at us.

Also I'm keeping up my 100% record of having weird pets - my dog, for the 11th year running, is refusing to give two shits about the fireworks and is in fact snoring loudly enough to drown them out. My cat, meanwhile, is desperate to go out so he can see what all the noise is about.

I used to live in North East London with my two cattes. We had fireworks on 5th Nov and weekends either side, Diwali, Eid Al Adhar, Eid Al Fitr, Christmas, New Year, Easter.... my cattes got used to them and showed no fear.
Personally, I loathe fireworks having had them chucked into the hood of my school coat when I was a kid by any kid my dad (a teacher in a secondary modern) had told off that day.

It's not just Islington the Lib Dem's are bullshitting about, I've been bombarded with letters/leaflets the last 4 days all saying Labour can't win in Finchley & Golders Green, where 'What party am I in this week numbskull' Luciana Berger's running for them.
Labour were ~1600 votes shy of the Tories in 2017, Lib Dems were nowhere. Is this poo poo even legal? The only source they say id some Survation poll from October, but not what question was asked of the people surveyed.
While we're on that subject, has anyone here ever been surveyed for any of these polls? I've been asking everyone I know recently and no-one ever has.

The Grauniad are looking for examples of dodgy campaign literature. Take a picture and send it in, it could help give the Lib Dems a kicking for another news cycle: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/05/have-you-received-any-general-election-leaflets-share-your-photos

Hi all, I mainly lurk in this thread and don’t post but thought you might enjoy this little tidbit of info.

I live on the Isle of Man (halfway between Liverpool and Ireland for those that do not know). We are a crown dependency with our own laws and parliament.

We have ferries going to and from Dublin, Belfast, Liverpool and Heyshem. 2 of my closest friends work at our ferry company and tell me that zero preparation has been done for anything to do with a border ‘down the Irish sea’. Our government is also not inclined to implement any kind of customs nonsense that the English government would demand (they shafted us on a VAT deal some years ago).

I’m not sure how the English government think that we will fit into the plans for a sea based border but I wish them the very best of luck.

I know the lib Dems are twats and I understand why you might not want to acknowledge that you're going to at best get third place and the balance of power at the outset of the campaign

but now they've specifically ruled out supporting either of the parties that are almost certainly going to win the most seats, how is a vote for them anything other than a vote for another general election immediately afterwards

if they explicitly won't vote for another party to form a government, then unless someone else gets a majority or they win literally 320 more seats (or 160+ and someone else joins them as a junior partner, I suppose) then no one will be able to form a government

or maybe they're secretly anarchists and just don't want a government at all?

swinson_650_seats.jpg

e; I guess they might also demand corbyns resignation as price for their 8 votes? so we get a leadership election that takes several weeks at the shortest and then someone elected by the left wing labour membership takes over
