I'm really sorry to parachute in like this, but I've been in the wilds of Colombia for like two weeks (ask me about the general strike!), in what was literally FARC territory like a year ago - can someone tl;dr the election so far for me, preferably with soothing polls?

This jewish man is going to get dragged over the coals by the newspapers as an anti-semite. Everyone is going to ignore Johnson outright refusing to say sorry for all his racist ranting. Polls will predict +10% for Conservatives and a #libdemfightback bounce of 15%.

EE: Okay a semi-effortpost then. First, read this:

https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-election-poll-kantar/johnsons-lead-over-labour-balloons-to-18-points-kantar-poll-idUKKBN1XT21T

quote:

Johnson's lead over Labour balloons to 18 points - Kantar poll

Then, read this

https://www.reddit.com/r/LabourUK/comments/dwrn69/kantars_recent_poll_weighting_is_based_on_lowest/

quote:

Kantar's recent poll weighting is based on lowest under-65 election turnout since records began

Then get ready for the youthquake, baby.

Been out all night campaigning and now putting my feet up with a curry and a beer watching the debate. Gooooooood times.

Edit: canvassing in Harrow night. Wasn't expecting so many questions about Kashmir on the doorstep though. Not my forte tbh.

If you don't have a four-bedroom house so you can knock down a wall and convert two bedrooms into a single giant space for Advanced Squad Leader then you are either casual at wargaming, or your situation is a stain on one of the world's richest countries, which should never see people unable to play ASL properly.

Being "invited" on QT is a bit of a weird thing. In my day most of the time they were throwing folk in the door and ringing up party activists just to fill the room.

I reckon some of the bias will be to do with production etc but also a lot of if will be who can be bothered to show up. Young people don't see the relevance largely. Even in my full time political campaign days I would have rather gone to Nandos and talked about Brexit or something.

Long story short I bet that guy is just available a lot.

Lol at the Telegraph imagine putting Kate Hoey on your cover.

Also this set of front pages make it absolutely clear Corbyn wiped the floor tonight. That's the best he'll ever get from the front of the times and he has shut everyone else up.

Boris is undoubtedly on at least a couple of bottles of wine a night and coke all morning to mitigate it atm
