Looking at the YouGov MRP, Chuka and Berger are both looking to lose their seats by a massive margin, and Swinson is in real danger too.

Just a reminder now that leaflets appear to be coming through at a higher rate:

Please photograph and upload any election leaflets/scare letters to https://electionleaflets.org/ so we can catalogue them

The real investigative journos do use them in their research to challenge candidates.

if there's suitable precedent and/or regulation for those "[constituency] Future" ones being explicitly dodgy, I know campaign peeps here wants to throw the kitchen sink at it and would be v grateful. i will pay you in shitposts.

Honestly I’m kind of surprised there isn’t a collated resource of racist poo poo Boris has said. Since there are very clear examples all over the internet (as opposed to the general inability for anyone to point to specifics for Corbyn).

My school was torched by a ne'er-do well pupil and one of my most blessed memories is of my mum coming into my room in the morning, waking me up, me thinking i'd slept through my alarm, and her telling me sounding all sad that the place was burned and I didn't need to go in today or at all for several weeks till they arranged an alternative. Honestly slept the best I think I ever have till about midday.

Yes I know in retrospect this put a lot of pressure on my parents - both of them employed - and lost me a good bit of education but god drat if it wasn't incredible to my oblivious ~12 year old self.

I think Boris has literally said every racism gleefully and pompously in print at some point. He is a golem powered by an ancient book of racist jokes. I don't think trying to keep people from finding this out is going to work :D

Sure, but there’s a difference I think in providing context about why something is racist for people who might not otherwise understand. Perhaps it would only ever be preaching to the choir, I dunno.

That's a bit of an insult to the Greatest Generation, many of whom, including both my grandads to differing degrees, were raised by single mothers due to that spat we had between 1914-18 and the resultant public health issues.

Will Johnson be apologizing to our veterans?

Johnson, who refuses to say how many children he has, attacked single mothers for “producing a generation of ill-raised, ignorant, aggressive and illegitimate children”, saying that social housing was an enticement for them to become pregnant.

"It's great!" he continued.

As I was scrolling the thread, Ben Bradshaw came round to canvas for Ben Bradshaw. I said I would be voting Labour and he said thank you very much and gave me a leaflet. Some here might say I should have pressed him about saying anti Corbyn stuff to the press over the last couple of years, but I have anxiety about talking anyway, and this cold I've had has made me all croaky. It's just as well for him that he didn't come round earlier in the week, I might have coughed my horrible disease all over him, that certainly wouldn't have been good for Labour.

I just like to think this happened to him so many times he's given up and just resigned himself to hearing they're voting Labour, thanking the person and handing them a leaflet then slinking off to the next house where it happens again.

Perhaps Tesseraction was suggesting that Bradshaw, as a Blairite remnant, wants to see Corbyn fail. He didn't seem like he did, I don't think he'd bother to come out door knocking himself if it was that. I mean, it's cold out. He also told me I have the same first name as his sister, and that it's "one of my favourite names", so he was friendly, he wasn't dismissive. It was me that was being rubbish tbh.

Edit: I have occasionally been confused to see Ben Bradley mentioned as a horrible racist or whatever kind of shitbag he was, before reading the thing again, so I understand the confusion :)

That's even just donations over £7500 (which is probably large cash transfers from unions). I guarantee they blew the Tories out of the water if you account for the small donations.

Tesseraction
Apr 5, 2009

I looked it up, it's two donations from Unite - £3m and then a second donation of £8k... no idea why the smaller one.

£425k from the Communication Workers Union.

Finally two personal donations - £20k from a man named Tom Hearn, and £35k from Dale Vince via his company Ecotricity.

Yeah the union cash drop is nice. At least all the social media poo poo posting is properly funded.

To all the comrades who oscillate rapidly between hope and despair whenever a new poll drops, just remember this: Trump is coming to the UK next week.

There's nothing more likely to make people vote Labour than the orange one opening his big gob and saying "You should vote for my friend Boris. Great - Great man prime minister. We talk all the time. He's a funny, smart man"

There will be some supposedly statesman like photos of them talking about*serious business* and a press confer ence where Trump will insist the US has no interest in interfering in the NHS. This will be a total lie but the newspapers will largely run with it and accept it at face value.
