I see the BBC has finally caved and let Johnson on Marr instead of having to do an interview with Andrew Neil

Ms Adequate posted:I suspect he doesn't think Johnson will actually show so might as well go hell for leather. And if Johnson does happen to show, the fundamental points still stand no matter his chuntering bluster. Yeah the only reason that was broadcast is because they know hes not going to show now, and he certainly wont after this.

justcola posted:It's looking likely to be a hung parliament with no overall majority government, last time this happened the Lib Dems got in bed with the Conservatives starting the onslaught of diarrhoea we have today. Entirely anecdotal but there are people on my social media circles posting labour stuff who were either completely disengaged from politics or would never have been so open about their support. Its been a few very strange weeks.

a pipe smoking dog posted:This country is infuriating. I'm comfortably middle class now but I know that without the NHS some bad luck could destroy my life, but I guess about 40% of people are happy to throw that away because they hate the Belgians. The way I explained this to my reasonably comfortable friend who posted the 'So what are Labour offering me???' because she has a house and a good job was to just say 'Okay, so what happens if you come down with a serious illness and are off work for 3 months? Will you have your house? Can you pay your bills? No? Then you should be supporting Labour.' I reckon that for 90% of this country, they're hosed if they're out of work for 3 months. Utterly truly hosed. But no-one thinks of it like that, they only relate to it as now. You need to relate it to them as best you can.

Gwaint posted:Late to reply to this but I live in Poole too. I've been spending my efforts canvassing in Bournemouth West. I'm hopeful there can be a Labour majority in both Poole and Bournemouth West, but the latter is more of a target seat, I was informed. I'm in Bournemouth west. You might have knocked on my door

goddamnedtwisto posted:Laura K hasn't tweeted in 6 hours. But I'm sure, like today's Politics Live disappearing from iPlayer, it's just a production mistake. They've told her to shutup for a few hours and come back tomorrow night. Just like when she got that labour twat to resign live on air.

If possible can anyone either record or find clips from your local news about people being interviewed about why they voted tory in the labour strongholds that flipped? Theres been a run of 'the high street has been really run down for the last few years so I thought I'd give the tories a try' etc. Really local level issues under labour councils or MPs where they think its labour that has been causing these problems. I'm making a project highlighting this but a lot of this stuff is on local news and radio and never makes it online. Thanks

Gasmask posted:Here’s this from the BBC today: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50781738 This is exactly what im talking about. People utterly exasperated that their towns have been run down and its the labour MP's 'fault' so they're trying something new. Complaining that all the funding is going to Wigan and that their market stalls are closing down as if Labour could have stopped it. I'm trying to get as much as I can, even if its just vox pops or radio phone in shows. If it gets enough interest I'll look into delving a bit deeper. My feeling is that Boris played as an opposition style candidate in these areas, and that it wasn't just 'get brexit done' for a lot of these people. That he highlighted a decade of (Tory) cuts and left it as a steaming turd on the Labour MP's doorstep. That combined with the brexit crowd meant he came sweeping in and he seemed like a breath of fresh air to these people. I want to learn as much as I can so we can be better prepared to combat this in 5 years time, or its just going to happen again.
