Gwaint posted:I absolutely will ask to be paired up with someone - that way I can learn from them as well as talk to someone in person about what else I can do to help! Our CLP strongly discourages solo canvassing for safety reasons and protect both canvasser and door-answerer from any accusations. We have had a couple go off on their own bat without clearing it first but I think their branches have now leaned on them.

It definitely helps when there are smaller windows, after a while I just forgot how high up I was I breifly had classes in the tower block at uni and became immediately tense the minute I got in the lift and it didn't stop until I went back down again. It's not just vertigo but actual acrophobia, I don't like being above the ground. Contrariwise though I like terraces. Small back yard 2 up 2 down is grand imo.

So far my 'activism' has been limited to donating a small amount to Labour and Momentum but I have just signed up to do an evening's phone canvassing. I'm not a Labour Pary member and I've never done this before. This might sound dumb, but who is being called and why? It says training will be given if needed, but should I let someone know in advance that it's needed? The website also says the Battle Bus will be coming to the constituency 'with a special guest'. Is it...could it be....Jam Man himself?

Oborne and Jones have been tweeting about this. e: https://zelo-street.blogspot.com/2019/11/piers-morgan-and-diana-letters.html quote:Byline Investigates has seen more court papers. “PIERS Morgan has been implicated in an extraordinary plot to steal 62 private letters written by Diana, Princess of Wales, explosive High Court documents seen by Byline Investigates reveal. The allegations - which are now likely to form part of her son Prince Harry’s own phone hacking court action against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) - relate to the 54-year-old Good Morning Britain host’s time as editor of the Daily Mirror newspaper”.

Best not to fall into the trap of doing what the media did with the NHS guy; of course politically engaged people are involved in politics, and of course those are the types of people who want to go on QT. What's shady is the Tory guy pulling the "You have made it impossible for me, a father of daughters, to vote Labour" when he clearly had no intention of ever voting Labour.

Bundy posted:https://twitter.com/shaunjlawson/status/1198328682554757122 It fills me with cringe to watch comrades (and there have been a lot of them this last week) get conspiratorial about polling companies. It's not worth it. They are individual snapshots of public opinion that are worthwhile only to observe trends if you are a supporter of a particular party. The polling companies use their public political polls as freebie publicity for their commercial polling operations - like the above allowing traders to short markets on polling day. A pre-election poll is selling the accuracy of their methodology and breadth of their polling panels (or their ability to get phone/ responses from difficult areas of the population). A hedge fund wants to buy the services of the firm most likely to make them cash  - but most of their services are bought by companies looking to do market research - e.g. is Bob from Bolton more likely to buy New-Coke if it has a blue font or a red font.

Looking at the article, the claimed plan is to allow free parking to blue pass holders and people who are long-term seriously ill. I'm a big fan of the Tories adopting watered down versions of Labour policies though, the same desperate strategy which famously worked so well in the other direction for Ed Milliband.

One tip from telesales: smile. It changes the way your voice sounds and people respond to the expression they hear in your voice. It helps to be a bit OTT as well to make up for all the non-verbal communication that a phone conversation excludes.
