Alchenar posted:It's a dog whistle sneer, which everyone noticed immediately. Her explanation was "It was a house covered in British flags. I've never seen anything like it before. It had three huge flags covering the whole house. I thought it was remarkable. I've never seen a house completely covered in flags." She tweeted dozens of images that day with similar captions because she was out campaigning and taking pictures as she went. It was not a sneer until the media made it one.

Ewan posted:Newspapers should be coming out soon-ish with formal "who we are supporting"? The Times is particularly interesting to me, as they don't hold back from critical anti Tory posts and have in the past (most recently 2005) supported Labour. FT often seems anti Con recently too, although I would suspect they'd tend towards Lib Dem. The Guardian will be liberals because they're a festering pool of turds and they've supported them a lot in the past too.

Alchenar posted:Using 'Theresa May's team' isn't a 4d chess move to throw the election and pin it on her (leave it to the UKMT to assume that it's totally normal for parties to deliberately do everything they can to lose an election), it's because the Conservative brand is still toxic yet May is the most popular PM ever. In all records. Her brand lifts all boats. That's because nobody had really seen anything outside of the lionisation the tabs have been giving her. Her popularity was the softest kind of popularity and it started melting away the moment the campaign started and people actually started paying attention to her.

DesperateDan posted:I reckon the odds are good that parts of the PLP will try to make corbyn resign if he loving wins it Well yeah, it's constantly shifting. When it looked like Labour would get a hiding, they say he should go if he leads Labour to a massive loss. When it looked like they'll exceed the vote share of the last election, that isn't a yardstick and Labour should be aiming to improve on that. Now it looks like Labour will improve on that the issue will suddenly become that Labour should be winning most seats and if that seems likely that they should be winning a majority and if that ever seems likely that they should be winning a large one. Nothing will ever be good enough to shut up the Labour right.

winegums posted:Diane Abbott is bad. She's on the front bench purely because she's an ally of Corbyn, which speaks volumes to how desperate he was to find a handful of people in the Labour party who aren't ratfucking backstabbing shitheels. May be partly to do with the way most of his previous shadow cabinet stepped down to try and force him out. She had a much less prominent position in that one.

Zephro posted:https://www.ft.com/content/4ebc8f1e-43c0-11e7-8d27-59b4dd6296b8 Isn't it the case that polls have generally always used a persons claimed likeleyhood if voting as the weighting until now and some have just hanged it after the 2015 polls being wrong? Perhaps 2015 was an aberration rather than the new norm.

Rakosi posted:Someone from the audience did shout at May that Labour's policies were fully costed during last night's 'debate'. As bad as the Tories have been at giving figures it's a bit of a double take to forgive your own guy for doing the same thing. It's not a lot to ask of any prospective prime minister to know the figures on key bits of their policies. There is a difference between forgetting figures that have been drawn up and not knowing the figures because they don't exist.

TACD posted:Did this get posted already? Apparently Theresa May's Team is no more and has been replaced by a group calling themselves 'The Conservatives'. They've yet to release an album an supposedly all their gigs are members-only so I don't see the point TBH. It's hilarious, they tied their entire campaign to her supposed massive popularity which only lasted as long as it took for people to actually stop and take a look at her and now they have to do a complete 180.

Rakosi posted:I think a Hilary Benn lead Labour would have beaten May in this election, or at least polled higher that Corbyn. May would not have made nearly so many mistakes because Hilary Benn or any of the other Labour right would have put her under no pressure and agreed with most of the Tory manifesto.
