TACD posted:Corbyn messes up PR stunts, while the Tories mess up political maneuvering on a scale that's now taking us out of the EU and risks breaking up the Union. Diane Abbott gets her numbers wrong on the radio and is excoriated while Boris Johnson parades around for months in front of a bus with an eight-foot-high lie printed on it but basically gets away with it. My favourite part is when a Conservative prime minister offered a referendum as a magic bullet to silence his backbenchers, only to watch it backfire horribly and take the country back in time 40 years. Then when a Labour leader overwhelmingly defeats a challenge to his leadership, he's the one the papers call 'incompetent'. But yes it's clearly Labour that are the danger here. Not that party that fucks up the UK for decades over an internal power struggle, no.

quote:But it was strongly criticised last night by a source from the right of the party who has read it in full. I'd really love to put a name to these comments. Anyone who thinks that a better funded NHS, free universites, and non-privatised transport & power are for the 'feckless poor' really should be putting their face to the statement in public. Preferably while twirling a moustache and wearing a monocle.

JFairfax posted:so if I'm reading that correctly nearly 1.5m new registrations from under 34s... JFairfax posted:maybe brexit has given young people a kick up the arse and they now realise that sometimes voting can be important As an under-34 who registered to vote for the first time in my life the day after the election was announced, I really hope I'm not alone. My wife is an NHS nurse and I'm hearing a lot of (admittedly anecdotal) chatter about her colleagues registering too, although this is more aimed at keeping the Tories out rather than getting anyone specific in. I do like the way Corbyn's team are targeting summer festivals as well as traditional political events. Perhaps that will help get the younger population at least thinking about bothering to vote this time.

Bape Culture posted:I can't find anything but I'm guessing people with student loans would still have to pay them back under labour? It's pretty unlikely they'd write off existing loans. I seem to remember the figure was around 33bn last time it was brought up here, and I can't see Labour finding that sort of change under the couch cushions when they want to spend on everything else. Also mine is mostly paid off and would be done before anything passes, so they better not :|

By far the biggest disappointment in this election is that @parliawint hasn't posted for a month. Perhaps we can negotiate a posting exchange program where he starts tweeting again and 'flaps doesn't post for a month.

So is he saying that Corbyn not being Prime Minister causes terror attacks?

ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:Apparently, telling Katie Hopkins to "gently caress off you vile oval office, and when you've hosed off gently caress off some more, then gently caress off again and again until you've hosed off forever" gets you this on Twitter The trouble with unsubtle is that the comment gets moderated and the world stops being constantly reminded how much of a toxic oval office this woman is. By playing her game with your reply it the message hangs around longer: quote:Perhaps the Black Mirror episode Hated in the Nation presents the necessary final solution to the true problem of today's society?

Introduce death penalty... to stop suicide bombers? Is this a parody poll or a parody of a country?

If he used that line himself, tomorrow's Sun would have a headline about Corbyn inciting people to kill the Prime Minister.
