Somehow it bothers me that laurak never puts a full stop at the end of her tweets. It really adds to that "stream of consciousness" vibe that so often sees her revealing her toryness

mycampaignmap.com is saying I should spend tomorrow in Peterborough, Dagenham/Rainham, Ipswich, or Thurrock. I can get to any of them and have a car... anyone have an idea where the best(most helpful) place for me to go would be?

I've been jabbed in the chest by Dennis like that and he was being nice to me, it must loving hurt when he's cross. Is his seat really "the most threatened"? We've still got Brexit party pricks knocking about so hopefully they split the leave vote, but Dennis has always been a staunch leave supporter himself so I'm worried about votes syphoning off to the lib dems, but I've not had a single piece of literature through the door from them. In years past "at least Dennis will definitely win" has always been a consolation, it'd be loving terrible if he doesn't.

What if the anti-semitism allegations against labour create an unintended effect? For example what if there’s a constituency of polite anti-semites who don’t express their views in public but secretly harbour them and will vote labour after having been duped by the Tories into thinking labour is what represents their racist views more than they do? Also I’m really experiencing hope for this election thanks to this thread. It seems in the final days all that media bludgeoning against labour kinda vaporizes into a fine mist revealing a hung parliament (or better). I really hope you guys hold on and labour wins. We need this. We need copycat movements in Canada and the US. I’m the only socialist in my area and people for the most part treat me like a well-mannered lunatic when I talk politics. Even Canadian news media is latching onto discrediting labour: https://nationalpost.com/opinion/barbara-kay-may-corbyn-end-up-where-he-belongs-in-the-dustbin-of-history We need to prove them all wrong. We need a resurgent global socialist movement. Our hopes ride on this and the Bernie Campaign in the US.

I don't believe the anti-semitism stuff was never intended to convince anyone or move any votes. It was purely give the media the means to address Corbyn without giving air time to his policies. They learned from last time that their readers/viewers don't think Corbyn's policies are as insane as they do.

Yeah anti-semitism is pretty explicitly the thing that stuck when they were trying to find white noise to block out his policies. This thread has obviously been a complete downer today, no hope anywhere. To cheer people up and distract people from #FridgeGate I think it's time to throw a dead https://twitter.com/Mx_Chaos420/status/1202713318890164224 https://twitter.com/kassandraqueenn/status/1204136395284987906 https://twitter.com/DaniRuberti/status/1204453304584945664 #PigeonGate. This is probably really cruel and I shouldn't laugh, but I have been for the past five minutes.

I think there's a general belief among alot of people and media people that islamophobia isn't real, or is actually good. They pay lip service to it, but they don't actually care.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:I like this tweet (second one) I have to say that inside the vaguely liberal, middle class, homeowning, media inspired London bubble that is what the picture looks like. It surprises me not at all to hear Laura K repeat it. I have early 40s middle class friends who are hiding that they're Labour members because they will get a backlash from their mates. They are almost to a man/woman against Corbyn. I was reluctant to stick my hand up for a long time but no longer. Anyway... What she and they can't see but you can is us lot and Instagram and Twitter and all the rest of it. I know she is on Twitter all the time but she's too focused on picking up likes from her tribe to understand. They honestly have no idea how engaged younger people are getting and if we vote in the numbers we could do we will literally rock their worldview. Another piece of good news is that the homeowner, liberal etc picture is changing too. They're not idiots or heartless, they just trust authorities and old institutions a bit too much, have no time to really research antisemitism because of the school run etc etc. Yet still, more and more of them are preparing to vote Labour, some because it's cutting through, others through gritted teeth.

I mostly pay attention to UKPOL from afar because we have our own trash fire going on the US, but I'm really hoping for a Labour victory tomorrow. They're the only party and have the only leadership that seems to actually care about people and improving their material conditions, rather than serving corporate interests and the already wealthy and powerful. I hope a Corbyn victory can inspire and support movements globally and show that people have the power to finally say "enough is enough." Solidarity, UK goons.

Facehammer posted:I agree with this. Conservatives despise a show of weakness more than anything else. This, foreshadowed by all his other debate-dodging, could be enough to push a bigger fraction of tribal Tory voters who are otherwise not especially enthusiastic about Boris (or their failure to deliver Brexit or whatever) into staying home in disgust. Big man Bozza is turning out to be a right tosser. He's making proud Tories into shy ones, too depressed to vote in some cases

There's no mention of reporting postal voting in advance under Ofcom's broadcasting guidelines, because sharing any details about the opening of postal votes is a crime. Electoral Commision have had dozens of complaints about it already and are apparently investigating (so response back in a year and nothing happening as Laura won't say who told her of course). https://twitter.com/AvaSantina/status/1204767705036922881
