I'm guessing hung parliament in Labour's favour.

Which would be amazing considering the press have just taken the mask completely off this time around and thrown all impartiality out the window.

Because it relies on the assumption that "supporters of israel" means "jewish" when uh, that's definitely not what I think of when I think of supporters of israel. I think psychotic, probably christian, warmongering shitheads. And I definitely think that they are a bad influence on our democracy, have a massive amount of sway with the media, and wouldn't want to spend any time around them.

Yeah that's the point he's making. It heavily infers that any opposition to Israel is antisemitic in order to get the proof they want.

TBF, 'guy called Cohen with a Jewish grandfather' does not sound like the safest person to be with literal Nazis on the march. Charlottesville was a big wake-up call for a lot of secular folks with Jewish ancestry.

He's not angry about Charlottesville. He's not writing an article a week about the evils of an accented right wing.

It is a terrifying truth that the CIA has never really been that good at their job, they've always just been allotted infinite money and no accountability. They have god like power in the hands of a bunch of upper class idiots and loser nerds and that makes them far more dangerous than if they were how they portrayed themselves in all the media they finance.

The poo poo that Johnson used to publish when he was editor of the Spectator was truly horrendous stuff. Just a Greek Neo Nazi writing about how he wishes he was around to gently caress the grieving and terrified women of the losing sides of war. And Johnson refused to fire him despite repeated requests from Jewish groups and the owner of the magazine.

Honestly if you really cared about antisemitism this is the fight.

Hey UKMT, I keep getting people telling me that the costing in the Labour manifesto doesn't make sense when I bring up that I'm voting labour or that I like Jezza etc. Is there a good place I can point them to or like easily digestible talking point I can bring up that in response to that?

Get them into specifics. You'll often find that they don't really know what doesn't make sense and are just repeating what someone who is supposed to explain things to them are saying in bad faith (See the months of people saying that having a second referendum after Labour debate a new deal is too complicated for their feeble six figure brains) From there you can explain things, point out that say Free broadband has been costed and would actually improve the economy because of all the money freed up from paying for broadband and giving money to people who can now access the internet at high speeds.

Genuinely a lot of people have just accepted that better things aren't possible and all you have to do is prove that not only are better things possible but they're better for everything not just you right now.

Honestly just mention that nobody will have to pay the £18 for a landline that nobody uses and you're halfway there.

It's just centrists being centrists. They're completely out of power in the Labour party and they'd rather everything went to poo poo than the left win and make things better. They know Labour are the better option but if they're not in charge they're going to take their ball and go home until everyone agrees to play another game of means testing and sensible bombings.

Do we have confirmation that the Lib Dem press officer tried to remove him from the room? It doesn't happen in the video and he has not himself tweeted to that effect. Some kind of proof or a statement that it happened could be quite amazing to have.

Aye the Lib Dem press officer asked "Can we get rid of the chair" and pointed to him, who was sat on a sofa.
