Top class trolling from the Jeremy Corbyn twitter account. The replies are full of people who haven't watched the video and think he means a Bolshevik revolution  The content of the video is also very powerful and inspiring, but who cares about that when there are lols to be had?

I think the lib dem leadership has simply bought their own bullshit about them somehow becoming a major party again and this is gonna bite them hard as the accusations of hypocrisy and vote splitting start getting traction.Julio Cruz posted:my cat is 100% unbothered by the fireworks when he's indoors but he keeps wanting to go outside then thinking better of it when he's actually presented with the opportunity and it's a lot louder and closer So in other words your cat is a cat?

https://twitter.com/arron_banks/status/1191801026355113984?s=21 I think it’s actually amazing that the right wing in this country have decided this is a hill worth dying on; that poor people who died in a massive fire caused by corporate negligence were just thick as poo poo. Not that they think it, that they’ll proudly and defiantly proclaim it.

Tesseraction posted:Well I mean, I think she wanted to out this paedo ring because of the morality of doing so and is frustrated that she could've done so three years prior but was forced not to. That must be frustrating. Sometimes I wonder what role that played in things, like if the investigation had already started, if it pushed it in a new direction, if it confirmed suspicions, or if it was another data point in an already massive landslide. When everything eventually gets declassified it's going to be fascinating reading.

Lots of political tweets, including a Daniel Hannan one. Then he clicked on a Big Nev one, and I smiled. Then he blocked him, and went back to looking at a Farage tweet. I'm not sure if he heard me muttering 'oval office' under my breath. I like to think so.

Pretty sure this is fully deliberate, and the Tories are going full Trump/culture wars as one of the arms of their election strategy, hoping to pick up the bitter, hateful segment of the population who probably smirked and joked when Grenfell went up

But they must know the 'Yeah but staying put is the best strategy, that's actually what those little numbers on round metal plates are on doors, it's how many minutes that door will hold the fire back. The problem was that the outside of the building was flammable because narrative-direction-the-tories-really-don't-want' is the obvious reply. I'd been thinking the BREX/Tory non-alliance was kabuki theatre, that they were planning to reconcile before the election date, but this poo poo is making me think otherwise. The only benefits to this weird stance are a. it highlights to big money that the Tories are absolutely on their side literally regardless of basic human morality and that maybe brings in a few hundred thou and b. it's trying to stop the most base voter switching to BREX, it's saying yeah those mostly ethnic-minority poors in Londonistan? We'll loving insult the dead on them, we'll call them stupid cunts the nation is probably better off without and we'll get away with saying it too, rejoin us you eternal anglo you don't be swayed by Pied Nigel.

I was talking about this over dinner with me mam and it seems like labour doesn't really have a unifying message that everyone in the party can agree on, even "tax the rich to support everyone else", red meat for one part of the base will upset another part. Whereas red meat for the tories is just anti scrounger stuff, tough on crime, deport the blacks etc, that plays or at worst doesn't hurt with 90% of their base.

The last couple of days have really highlighted to me that the tory party is just loving disintegrating. So many 'moderates' quitting, the 'gaffes' that ten years ago would have seen people slung out on their ear, the sheer bloody incompetence of their electoral strategy so far compared to what seems like a labour blitz. Just ideologically brain dead and going through the motions. The problem is so many low-information voters just aren't going to realise and still loving vote for them out of inertia. Just look at those replies to Corbyn's revolution tweet and how few people even bothered to watch the first ten seconds of video. Depressing, as much as I hold out hope for real change.

Yesterday I saw comments under Chukka's article on why Jo 'I'll skweem and skweem until I'm thick' Swinson should be invited to the ITV debate slagging off Chukka/Labour obviously under the impression that Chukka is still in Labour. The level of political knowledge amongst regular people is so poor.

To be fair to them it wouldn't surprise me to wake up tomorrow and find Chukka back in Labour. As if they'd have him. Maybe the Brexit party? In less nihilistic news, Crace is a bit hit or miss for me normally but this is an excellent headline:  https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/05/jo-swinson-fails-to-tread-line-between-ambition-and-delusion Guardian seem to have put on their big girl pants and are getting close to actually fully endorsing labour for this election.
